Sons of Mactans are the offspring of the Spider Queen Mactans. On iPhone, they are called Mactans' Son.
Overview[]
Vicious monsters that prey from above, landing on their victims without warning.
Sons of Mactans are very dangerous enemies that appear only in the last stages of Kingdom Rush: Origins. Sons of Mactans initially do not deal much damage with their regular attacks, but they run very fast and can inflict a deadly poison capable of killing soldiers in seconds. Certain Sons of Mactans can wait in ambush high over the battlefield to descend down, allowing them to bypass part of player's defenses.
Poison deals 132 damage over 3 seconds and is capable of killing soldiers, unlike most types of poison.
Strategy[]
- Mages will barely scratch these creatures, with their 90% Magic Resistance rating and high speed. Avoid using mage towers when possible.
- One must counter them with physical damage. Archers are a good choice, firing fast to dispatch multiple spiders efficiently. Sons of Mactans' low HP won't protect them from an organized defense of well-placed, high-level Archers.
- Arcane Archers are good to lower their magic resistance. The mage will defeat them faster.
- Their poison attack has a cooldown and is therefore used once every few attacks. If the spider kills its first target quickly with the poison, it will be stuck for a few seconds, only being able to use its standard attack, dealing abysmal damage.
