Kingdom Rush Vengeance TD+: How to Beat Anurian Plaza on Veteran

To beat Anurian Plaza on Veteran difficulty with a 3-star rating in Kingdom Rush Vengeance TD+, anchor your defense at the central intersection where the upper and lower water routes merge. Using the flying dragon hero Beresad allows you to bypass the map's water channels, soften incoming swarms before they reach your front line, and intercept ranged casters across split lanes.

Hero Positioning and Beresad's Role

Beresad provides unrestricted aerial mobility, ignoring the terrain obstacles and segmented waterways that slow ground heroes on Veteran difficulty.

• Default Position: Station Beresad directly over the main convergence point ahead of the stage exit. His baseline basic attack delivers splash physical and fire damage, thinning clustered frog swarms before they contact your defensive line.
• Lane Interception: Fly Beresad toward outer paths whenever enemy runners or casters threaten to bypass your perimeter. His high flight speed allows him to neutralize isolated threats and return to the center before the next main push arrives.
• Ability Timing: Reserve his Hellfire ultimate for emergency wave stabilization when high-health Anurian elites overwhelm your central blockers.

Early Chokepoint Setup (Waves 1–4)

Focus your starting gold entirely on the central intersection rather than building towers near isolated outer spawns. Spreading resources too thin leaves your defenses unprepared for incoming armored units.

1. Build a Primary Damage Tower: Place a fast-firing or area-of-effect tower directly at the central bend where both approach paths join.
2. Add a Blocking Unit: Place a barracks or stalling tower immediately behind the primary damage zone to hold enemies under active tower fire.
3. Anchor with Beresad: Hover Beresad slightly forward toward enemy spawns during the first three waves to weaken advancing groups.
4. Deploy Global Spells: Cast your global lightning or reinforcement powers along the perimeter to finish off leaking stragglers without moving Beresad out of position.
5. Prioritize Upgrades: Upgrade your central damage tower to level two and level three before purchasing outer peripheral towers.

Mid-Wave Adjustments (Waves 5–9)

Middle waves introduce durable Anurian Channelers and armored frontline vanguards. Raw armor stacking fails against their ranged disruption, requiring specialized damage types.

• Add Armor-Piercing Damage: Construct long-range or armor-piercing towers on the secondary slots flanking your central chokepoint. These towers eliminate backline casters while your blockers hold the frontline bruisers.
• Snipe Channelers with Beresad: When Anurian Channelers begin casting outside your towers' attack radius, manually move Beresad directly above them. His targeted breath and ground-scorch damage eliminate backline casters before they disrupt your defensive line.

Late-Wave Execution (Waves 10+)

The final waves launch dense, mixed groups of heavily armored tanks and rapid support units along both upper and lower lanes simultaneously.

Stagger Global Abilities and Hellfire

Avoid firing global abilities at the same time as Beresad's Hellfire. Activate Hellfire when elite packs gather inside your primary kill zone, maximizing the sustained burn damage against targets pinned by your blockers. Keep global reinforcements ready to catch any low-health stragglers that slip past the flames.

Complete High-Tier Tower Specializations

Spend remaining gold on specialized sub-upgrades for your core choke towers during the final waves. Prioritize burst execution, armor shredding, and sustained area damage. Keep Beresad hovering at the main junction to draw enemy focus while your fully upgraded towers melt the remaining Anurian forces to complete the 3-star clear.
