Kingdom Rush 6 Allies (Stage Heroes)
Ironhide’s official term is Stage Hero, which the studio has used in Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis for Alleria, who fights beside you on one stage only. Fans often call these helpers “allies”, but that word is not an in-game category in any Ironhide source we found. Below is everything Ironhide has said publicly about the characters players ask about, with a link to each source.
Stats: Ironhide has not published stats for any of the characters on this page.

Alleria: Stage Hero, Silveroak Village only
- Role: Stage Hero. Ironhide’s Silveroak Village devlog says Alleria joins the battle on that stage because the forest is still her home in this era.
- Where she fights: Silveroak Village only. As the forest’s guardian she does not leave it to travel with Gerald, so she cannot be taken to other stages.
- Not one of the 12 heroes: she is not part of the 12-hero roster Ironhide revealed for Genesis, so you do not pick her in the hero room.
- Pet: she is accompanied by her animal companion, Wildfang, which is drawn smaller here than in later games because it has not finished growing.
- Look: her Genesis design follows her appearance in the first Kingdom Rush and in Origins, to match the timeline.
- Stats: Ironhide has not published stats.

Lord Blackburn: role (not confirmed)
- What is official: one Steam achievement, LORD OF DESTRUCTION, asks you to defeat 50 enemies using Lord Blackburn in combat, so at some point he fights on your side.
- Role (not confirmed): Ironhide has not said whether he is a Stage Hero, on which stage he helps, or how long he stays. He is not one of the 12 heroes. Before launch, Ironhide only teased that Blackburn would have a part in the story.

Stormcloud Sorcerers: role (not confirmed)
- Who they are: the Stormcloud Sorcerers are the faction behind the Sunray Master tower, whose members fight with light-infused sun gems. Ironhide also credits them with creating the hero Rhodes by placing a Sun Gem inside a simple elemental.
- What is official about them as helpers: one Steam achievement, SORCERER PROTECTION PROGRAM, asks you to clear Stormcloud Halls without losing any sorcerers, which means friendly sorcerers are present on that stage.
- Role (not confirmed): Ironhide has not described what these sorcerers do in battle, how many appear, or whether they count as Stage Heroes.
- Stats: Ironhide has not published stats.

Prince Denas: story background (role not confirmed)
- Story: in Genesis, Denas is still a young prince. His father, King Denas Sr., rules Linirea and watches over the Citadel while it is still being built. Ironhide’s Malik devlog also notes that Malik pledged his hammer to Prince Denas.
- Role (not confirmed): Ironhide has not published anything about Prince Denas fighting on your side in Genesis.

Wildcat: a tower, not an ally
- What is official: the only “Wildcat” in Ironhide’s material is the tower Wildcat Huntresses, elven fighters from Silveroak who defend the forest. It is one of the 15 towers you can bring into battle.
- Not an ally: Ironhide has not described any Wildcat unit that fights as a helper. Alleria’s own animal companion is officially named Wildfang.
- Stats: this page covers Stage Heroes only; Ironhide has not published Wildcat Huntresses numbers in its announcements.
