Goregrind is the first boss of Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance. He's a gigantic boar with a thing for butchering.
Overview[]
The one and only self-appointed King of the Wildbeasts uses a gigantic flail to crush his enemies.
Being the first boss of the game, Goregrind is simpler than the rest of bosses, but is still dangerous in his own right. For the majority of the level, he will sleep in his mud pool, occasionally waking up only to flatulate and go back to sleep. At wave 10, he'll start treating you seriously, opening up a hidden entry point and delivering taunts all the way to the end. After wave 15, he enters the battlefield himself. He has a main attack, which hit your units with flail to deal area damage (30 radius), as well as an ability to jump to change paths and crush any units he lands on, instantly killing them (100 radius). He will start from top right, before jumping to middle left and finally landing at bottom right path and move to the right exit until he passes or is killed.
Strategy[]
The strategy against this boss is very simple. All you need to defeat him is one Tricannon type tower, one Dwarven Flamespitter type tower, one Battle Brewmasters type tower, and two strong melee heroes (it is recommended to use Warhead and Torres).
- Place the three sizes (Tricannon, Dwarven Flamespitter and Battle Brewmasters) in the build slots in the upper right corner because that's where Goregrind starts his route. It doesn't really matter in which position you place each but it is recommended to place Tricannon in the topmost build position and give it its two special upgrades.
- You should also place the two melee heroes you choose to use to defeat Goregrind in the upper right corner a little before Goregrind arrives, so they are pre-prepared to fight him before he can even move.
After you've done all of this, it's very likely that your melee heroes combined with these powerful towers will be able to defeat Goregrind in no time before he can even take a single step forward. Of course, it's still important to use the heroes' special powers and pay attention to their health.
