%%* WalkingShirtlessScene

* DropTheHammer: '''Hammer Time''' allows Rag to attack enemies in an area with a hammer.

* BossBattle: He's the boss of the penultimate level of ''Vengeance''.

%%* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* HeroAntagonist: He appears as a boss enemy in ''Vengeance'' where [[VillainProtagonist you control Vez'nan's army]].

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* HeroAntagonist: She appears as an enemy in ''Vengeance'' where [[VillainProtagonist you control Vez'nan's army]].

* AntiStructure: In the Hammerhold Campaign for ''Vengeance'', he can use the Hammer of Ages to not only destroy a tower, but also ''permanently render that tower's building spot inaccessible''.

* BossBattle: In the Hammerhold expansion for ''Vengeance'', he serves as the boss of the campaign.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.
* DropTheHammer: His weapon. In ''Origins'', we learned that it literally dropped from the sky after you freed him.

* HitPoints: He has the highest HP in the game when he reaches level 10, at 720.
* LastStand: He puts Hammerhold in defense mode after hearing of Vez'nan's victory, vowing to make sure that Linirea's last bastion will not fall. He even puts up a good fight to make sure it doesn't, but since the player is the VillainProtagonist of ''Vengeance'', Malik ultimately fails in his duty.
* LegendaryWeapon: In ''Vengeance'', he wields the Hammer of Ages forged by Farcon Ironbeard. He uses it to strike your troops with lightning and also [[AntiStructure destroy your towers]] ''[[AntiStructure along with their placement slot]]''.

* RagsToRiches: From being enslaved by the Gnolls during ''Origins'', to the current leader of Hammerhold during ''Vengeance''.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

%%* LandMineGoesClick: His ability '''Mine Layer'''.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* HeroAntagonist: He appears as an enemy in ''Vengeance'' where [[VillainProtagonist you control Vez'nan's army]], although he's TheUnfought.

* TheUnfought: You don't directly fight him in ''Vengeance'', but he will animate the houses into golems, disable your towers with spells, give shields to enemies, and drop hot mixture from a cauldron onto your troops.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager with some shades of Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* HeroAntagonist: He is the primary antagonist of ''Vengeance''. He uses Catapult Barrage to drop flaming debris on your towers to render them unusable for 40 seconds unless you pay gold to clear the debris.

%%* TooImportantToWalk: It's probably how he got so fat.
* TheUnfought: In ''Vengeance'', you never actually fight him in his boss battle, instead he sends a [[PraetorianGuard Paragon]] to take on Vez'nan's demon three times.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* AGodAmI: A demigod actually. Subverted in that he's not that much superior to other heroes.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* DropTheHammer: He appropriately wields Mjolnir, the hammer of the thunder god.

* StaticStunGun: '''Thunderclap''' stuns enemies.

* BoringButPractical: Alric eschews the flashy abilities of the other heroes in exchange for a focus on just cutting enemies down in melee combat. It's generally quite effective.
** Special mention to his ''Flurry'' skill. All Alric does is quickly strike up to 6 times, but it has an ''extremely'' short cooldown of 6 seconds, and lets him do around 200 damage each time (before armor). With this skill, Alric can quickly cut down enemies that don't have medium armor or higher.

* DamagerHealerTank: A mix between Damager and Tank with high emphasis on both.

* FlunkyBoss: In ''Vengeance's'' Hammerhold Campaign, Alric serves as an end-of-level miniboss and he periodically summons groups of three sand Warriors as mook units. Unlike their ''Frontiers'' incarnation, these ''don't'' expire after a set time.

* MiniBoss: In the Hammerhold expansion for ''Vengeance'', he serves as a miniboss in the campaign.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* MiniBoss: In the Hammerhold expansion for ''Vengeance'', she serves as a miniboss in the campaign.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: A mix between Damager and Tank with more emphasis on Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Healer.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* HitPoints: '''Hard Rock''' increases his HP, maxing him out at a whopping ''900'' on level 10, making him the hero with the most HP. To top it off, by that point, his physical armor rating is ''medium'', so he won't be going down anytime soon.

* AntiStructure: In the Hammerhold expansion from ''Vengeance'', he's faced on the last wave as a miniboss of sorts, and his UFO can destroy your towers.

* ContinuityNod: He returns as a HeroUnit in ''VideoGame/IronMarines'', and one of his abilities [[spoiler:'''Linirea's Gem''']] heavily implies that he is [[spoiler:the alien that took the corrupted Tear of Elynie at the end of the ''Frontiers''.]] This is confirmed via WordOfGod on the [=IronHide=] Games website's Extras section, having taken it after thinking that Umbra was an AntiClimaxBoss.
* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* MiniBoss: In the Hammerhold expansion for ''Vengeance'', he serves as a miniboss in the campaign.
* OneHitKill: '''Abduction''' basically functions as this by removing an enemy from the battlefield. In ''Vengeance'', he uses this on your troops to one-shot those in range of the UFO.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamageOverTime: Thanks to his '''Reign of Fire''', his attacks set enemies on fire, burning them slowly.

* TheDutifulSon: According to [[https://forums.ironhidegames.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=8129&start=320 this]] forum post by a developer, Arivan is the son of a sorceress and a druid and is also the older brother of Eridan. He followed in his parents' footsteps and became a magician. He and Eridan don't get along.

* OneHitKill: His '''Vindicator''' always kills an enemy. On bosses, it deals massive damage instead.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's the prince of Linirea, and he leads Linirea's forces in aiding the elves in the war.
** He actually weaponizes his status as a royal by using his '''Celebrity''' ability to pose in front of enemies, stunning them for a few seconds while other forces attack them.

* DamagerHealerTank: A cross between Damager and Tank.

* ArcherArchetype: Her main weapon of choice is a crossbow like that of the Shadow Archers.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: A mix between Damager and Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* GogglesDoNothing: Subverted, they probably protect his eyes from the explosive devices he uses.

* DamagerHealerTank: Tank.

* DamagerHealerTank: All three at once. While he is primarily a Damager and Healer, he's also decently durable, and his '''Last Stand''' passive requires him to tank some attacks before it activates below 80% of his HP.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager and Tank. While it can't block melee enemies, its soldiers can attack back and take some damage, while its armor allows him to tank ranged enemies a bit better.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* DamagerHealerTank: Damager.

* LastStand: He puts Hammerhold in defense mode after hearing of Vez'nan's victory, vowing to make sure that Linirea's last bastion will not fall.

* OneHitKill: '''Abduction''' basically functions as this by removing an enemy from the battlefield.

%%* OneHitKill: '''Abduction''' basically functions as this.

%%* PandaingToTheAudience

A commemorative hero added in celebration of Kingdom Rush's Tenth Anniversary. A wizened master who annihilates his enemies with fist and meteor alike.

* BareFistedMonk: Aside from Firerush! he fights entirely with martial arts.
* HulkingOut: Iron Time transforms him into a musclebound goliath, trading out his teleportation and Firerush! abilities for immunity to damage, an area attack and an earthquake strike similar to Malik's.
* JackOfAllStats: He has respectable health and armor allowing him to HoldTheLine decently enough but his teleportation allows him to easily zip back and forth around the battlefield while Firerush! and Iron Time gives him good crowd control too.
* MeteorSummoningAttack: Firerush! summons several comets, similar to the Rain of Fire spell. The number of meteors gradually increases as he levels up and at level 8 they gain the scorched earth effect.

* SpinAttack: In his Iron Time form, his melee attack becomes a powerful spinning lariat that deals area damage.
