We have arrived at the dreadful realm of Valardul. This is a barren and forsaken Land, where the wretched souls of the departed find no solace.
Pray to the gods that this place does not take its toll on your men's spirits...

The Wastes is the tenth level in Kingdom Rush. The last special tower, the Tesla x104, is unlocked at this stage.

Strategy

General[]

You can actually beat this stage using only 3 Towers total; Tesla 104, Barbarian mead hall and Sorcerer Mage.

Upgrades and Hero[]

Prioritize getting the Tesla's Overcharge upgrade and the Barbarian's Axe throw.

Use Gerald lightseeker, and put him barely in front of the Barracks troops.

Towers[]

Sorcerer Mage in The Wastes

Placing a sorcerer mage on this location is enough to stave off bandits and brigands early game.

Place a Artillery at the top Strategic point near the skeletons, and upgrade it to level 3.

Place a Barracks and Mage in the positions of the picture.
Have fun watching the 3 beat this! Note: they barely can't do this on higher difficulties. The only time they struggle is on the Rocket Rider wave.
