Kingdom Rush 6 Genesis TD Genesis TD Tier Lists

Tier lists for Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD only work if you remember the game is a lane puzzle, not a gacha roster war. You place towers on pads, you field two heroes, you keep three spells. An S-tier dragon on a tiny choke is a wasted pad. A “B-tier” Archer Garrison that starts every map is still the economy engine.

This hub splits the argument into three pages:

• Hero tier list — the twelve-champion pair, not a solo DPS chart.
• Tower tier list — fifteen names, four jobs, specialists on top.
• Spell tier list — nine slots, three equipped, panic buttons ranked by when they save lives.

Ranks below are launch-window ranks. They use the Steam demo, Ironhide Friday devlogs, the in-game encyclopedia book, and the Heroes panel screenshoted on this wiki. They will move after 24 September 2026. They will not pretend a hidden unit is S-tier.

How we grade

• S — changes the map. You look for reasons to bring it.
• A — default good. Wins Veteran without drama.
• B — situational. A region, a race, or a mode makes it spike.
• C — needs a specific pair or Classic/Iron constraint to matter.

We grade jobs: stall, anti-air, armor-break, clump-clear, boss-burst, leak-catch. A tower that does two jobs well outranks a specialist that does one job in a region you have not reached.

Why dual heroes break naive lists

A melee S-tier next to another melee S-tier is a failed two-hero plan. Gerald Lightseeker can be A as an Anchor and C as a Rover. Zefira can be S on splits and B on a single-door map. Read the hero page before you copy a letter into an Iron kit.

Why Classic and Iron disagree

Classic Mode deletes eleven towers. Suddenly Scholar Mage is not “fine”; it is the only magic. Iron mode keeps specialists but freezes them; a C-tier Treant can be S if you committed to stall and the map is a swamp. This hub’s child pages call out mode splits instead of forcing one letter.

What we refuse to rank

• Unnamed bosses.
• Exact DPS tables Ironhide has not published.
• Pay-only mobile variants as if they were a different game. Steam includes the roster; mobile may IAP extra unlocks. Ranks assume you have the unit, then tell you if it is worth the pad.

Use Getting Started if you do not yet know the four families. Use the campaign stages page if you are ranking without a region in mind. Use updates if a Friday devlog just reworked tower levels — because a rework can move a letter without renaming the tower.

Suggested use

1. Pick the map region.
2. Pick Anchor/Rover from the hero tier list.
3. Fill four jobs from the tower tier list.
4. Fill the missing job with a spell.
5. Only then look at the pretty encyclopedia art in the in-game book.

Letters are a sorting hat. The lane is the exam.
