The Orc Warriors Den is a Melee Tower in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance. Introduced at the very start of the game, it trains three Orc Warriors with average stats, making it the closest equivalent to a basic barracks in the previous games.
Description[]
What these combat-hungry Orcs lack in skill, they make up for in brutality. Fighting in packs of three, these able warriors are the core of Vez'nan's army.
Tier 4: "Skilled orcs with a thirst for combat. Battle-prepared warriors that never stop fighting."

Strategy[]
- Orcs are the jack of all trades barracks compared to the Dark Knights, Elite Harassers or Grim Cemetery. They are individually weaker than Dark Knights and Harassers, but are more in number, and are able to be moved around unlike Cemetery zombies.
- Lust for Combat is a decent upgrade offering a significant damage increase. While this does make orcs much better at dealing damage, their primary purpose is stalling, so other upgrades are generally better to get first.
- Captain Promotion is a viable upgrade as for only 150g an orc gains 250 physical EHP and a decent damage increase. It is extremely cheap but also strong for the price.
- Seal of Blood makes your orcs effectively immune to low DPS, and can allow them to stay in combat indefinitely. Only enemies with higher DPS will be able to kill your orcs.
