The Knights Barracks is a Level 3 Melee Tower, upgraded from the Footmen Barracks. It trains three knights, professional soldiers who will stop anything in their path. The tower is the same in both Kingdom Rush and Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, with only a change in appearance. They regenerate 10 HP per second when not in combat.

Overview

Knights are professional soldiers with heavy armor. Dedicated to his majesty, they will stop your enemies' advance.

Knights are soldiers at the peak of their training. They are stronger versions of Footmen, with more health and armor. They deal more than twice the damage of Footmen to enemies.

Range

(KR) Standard range without Upgrades

(KRF) Standard range without Upgrades

• Same as the Level 1 Militia Barracks (and any other Barracks, whether advanced or not)

Strategy

• While having significantly better stats than Footmen Barracks, the Knights still share the same weaknesses - large hordes, ranged enemies and flying enemies. Support from other towers is crucial.
