Jungle Matriarchs (Matriarch on the mobile version) are jungle-dwelling cousins of the Spider Matriarch from the original Kingdom Rush. They lay eggs on the path, from which hatch Spiderlings.
Overview[]
This aggressive predator hunts using its offspring to overwhelm its victims.
Jungle Matriarchs are much more powerful but slower versions of the Spider Matriarchs. Much like their forest cousins, Jungle Matriarchs can lay eggs that spawn three Spiderlings. Spiderlings are extremely weak, but are lightning fast and very numerous, making low level Barracks and Mages impractical as they lack the speed to efficiently fend off lots of enemies.
Jungle Matriarchs have high Magic Resistance, making mages relatively useless against them. However, they can be more easily dealt with by a strong archer, and the DWAARP negates their spawn.
Strategy[]
- Since the Jungle Matriarch has very high magic resistance, mages are almost pointless. Instead, use Archers and Artillery to take out the Matriarch and their spawn respectively.
- A well positioned DWAARP effectively shuts down Jungle Matriarchs, because the damage is enough to kill all Spiderlings in one hit and their speed is not enough to get in and out of a DWAARP's area of effect before a shot can land.
- Alternatively, Crossbow Forts with Barrage can deal heavy damage and take out a Spiderling with each shot of Barrage, letting them take out an entire set of Spiderlings and have plenty of shots left over.
