How to Use Wicked Sisters in Kingdom Rush Vengeance TD+

To use the Wicked Sisters effectively in Kingdom Rush Vengeance TD+, build them along mid-path bottlenecks where blocking units can hold foes inside their firing radius. Because their baseline magic attacks ignore physical armor, your primary task is stalling heavily armored targets in their kill zone and tailoring Tier IV ability upgrades to the composition of each wave.

Tower Role and Baseline Function

The Wicked Sisters serve as a specialized magic-damage tower built to dismantle high-armor targets that resist archer and barrack damage. While standard physical towers struggle against armored knights and golems, the Wicked Sisters cut through their defense with consistent magical bolts.

Their primary limitation is a deliberate attack cadence. Without splash damage on their basic attacks, a lone Wicked Sisters tower can be overrun by sheer numbers or stalled by magic-resistant enemies. Pair them with physical damage sources and ground blockers to protect their perimeter.

Tier IV Abilities and Upgrade Priority

Reaching Tier IV unlocks three distinct spell branches. Choose your upgrade path based on whether the incoming wave relies on durable elite units or dense clusters of low-health runners.

When to Max Hex First

Prioritize Hex when a stage introduces high-health vanguard units or enemies with dangerous active traits. Transforming an elite target completely removes its offensive threat and strips its special properties, allowing surrounding towers to eliminate it without taking counter-damage.

When to Max Toxic Cauldron First

Pivot your gold into the Toxic Cauldron if waves consist of fast swarms rather than single juggernauts. The lingering damage pools soften armored units while wiping out low-health runners before they can push past your primary defenses.

Optimal Placement Strategy

Position the Wicked Sisters directly overlooking sharp bends, U-turns, or intersections. Curves force enemies to remain within the tower's firing arc for an extended period, maximizing the damage dealt by magic bolts and ground-based toxic pools.

• Avoid lane entrances: Do not place this tower at the immediate spawn point of a track. Early placement wastes high-value polymorph spells on cheap scout units that enter the map first.
• Anchor mid-path choke points: Placing the tower mid-lane ensures that hexes and area-denial pools land on dense, high-threat formations that have already bunched up against your defensive line.
• Align with blockers: Position the tower's range indicator to overlap the exact ground tile where your barracks units engage incoming enemies.

Defensive Pairings

Because the Wicked Sisters lack burst multi-target clearance on their base attacks, their performance relies on complementary towers:

1. Barracks and Heavy Blockers: Station armored troops inside the witches' firing range. Halting enemy movement keeps priority targets inside toxic puddles and prevents fast runners from slipping past during cast animations.
2. Physical Artillery and Archers: Build physical damage towers nearby to cover magic-resistant units that take reduced damage from witch spells.
3. Crowd-Control Heroes: Use hero abilities that stun, knock back, or slow groups over the witches' lingering damage fields to maximize damage ticks per gold spent.
