Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis Tower & Hero Tier Snapshot

Last checked 2026-10-03 · main community board · second hero board

Community tier list boards from the first week after launch, plus the official 5-of-15 synergy pitch. Lane recipes: tower synergy.

Official pitch is five-tower synergy from a 15 pool — not an empty S-tier of one god tower. Named demo towers below stay first-party. Post-launch tier list boards are community snapshots, not averaged ranks. No Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance tables.

How to read this page

Official rule: equip exactly five towers per battle from a full pool of 15 (official site + Ironhide Q&A).
Tower and hero boards below are community snapshots (post-launch) from named creator tier lists filmed 2026-09-25–26. They are not first-party balance sheets.
When two creators disagree on a hero rank, this page marks CONTESTED instead of averaging.

Tower snapshot (post-launch community board)

Primary board: community Genesis tower tier list (filmed 2026-09-26). Board shows all 15 icons across S / A / B / C (D empty). Icon art is confirmed. The nine post-demo towers all have names on /towers:Sunray Master, Wildcat Huntresses, Gold Prospectors, Cursed Crossbows, Alchemist Shack, Ironbark Treant, Light Priestess, Sentry Watchtower, plus Arcane Forger (not confirmed, no page yet). This page does not match board icons to those names, so it gives no named placement for them.

Band	What the board shows	Wiki stance
S	Three tower icons (board top row).	Community snapshot — icons are not matched to tower names here, so no named chips.
A	Largest cluster (seven icons on this board).	Snapshot density only; still play five-slot mixes.
B–C	Remaining icons; D empty on this list.	Low band ≠ “never bring” — lane role still matters.

Post-launch Kingdom Rush Genesis hero tier list board with S A B C rows

Primary board: the primary board creator Genesis hero tier list (2026-09-25). Cross-check ranking: King Rexy All Heroes Ranked (2026-09-27).Do not average lists. Where they disagree, treat the placement as CONTESTED. Dual-hero first-party pair remains Gerald Lightseeker + Zefira (see /heroes).

Second hero board (2026-09-28)

Second community creator Kingdom Rush Genesis hero tier list board S through D

community hero tier list. Treat as a secondary community snapshot beside the primary board above. Frames are tier-list-only — they do not show Best-for panels, ability text, or unlock-star UI. When the primary board creator and secondary creator disagree on a placement, mark CONTESTED. Do not average into one S/A chip.

Band (secondary board)	What frames show	Wiki stance
S	Two hero icons (dragon-leaning art).	Secondary snapshot — cross-check vs the primary board creator; CONTESTED if disagree.
A	Four hero icons.	Snapshot density only.
B–D	Remaining icons across B / C / D.	Low band ≠ never bring; dual-hero lane role still matters.

Not confirmed — Best-for / Ability / unlock-stars: source frames never open hero detail UI with those fields. Those columns stay blank; tier list icons do not show them.

What this page will not claim

No averaged S-tier chip across the primary and secondary boards.
KR5 Alliance towers are not copied in.
No SEO “ULTIMATE” one-view lists as rank sources.
No Best-for / Ability / unlock-stars taken from the secondary tier list video.
No named S/A chips for the nine post-demo towers until each board icon is matched to its tower.
Arcane Forger is not confirmed and has no page yet.

Tier list questions

How many towers do you bring into a battle?

Exactly five towers from your unlocked pool (official site + Ironhide Q&A). The full game pools 15 towers; the demo starts with five and adds Elven Elite Ranger in the extension. Lane recipes live at /guides/tower-synergy.

Do you copy Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance tower tables?

No. Alliance tables are a different game. Genesis rows here use only KR6 demo / Ironhide official names and lane roles — synergy, not a pasted KR5 meta.

Still unknown

Which board icon is which of the nine post-demo towers — the names are on /towers, but this page does not match icons to names.
Averaged S/A hero chips when the primary board creator vs King Rexy / secondary creator disagree — CONTESTED, not averaged.
Best-for / Ability / unlock-stars columns — not confirmed (tier list frames lack those UI panels).
