Link to this entryThe 4 classic tower families
Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD uses the four classic tower families that have anchored the Ironhide Kingdom Rush series since the 2011 launch — Barracks (frontline melee), Archer (lane DPS), Mage (area-of-effect damage), and Artillery (high single-target burst). The Steam store page lists these family labels verbatim, and the Saving Content Classic Mode article restates the same four families for the Classic Mode run.
Dwarven Culverin balance-watch note
Community threads on the Steam Community Hub flag Dwarven Culverin as the current balance-watch surface. If the launch build lands over- or under-tuned, expect this tower to receive the first hotfix. Watch the Steam Community Hub under AppID 4259190 for launch-day patch notes before locking a meta around it.
The revamped upgrade system
The Ironhide press release on irondune.com describes a revamped upgrade system for Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD. The system changes the way players progress each tower across the 18 stages but the exact per-tower upgrade path numbers are not announced as of research date. Treat any third-party guide that lists specific upgrade costs as unverified until it is checked against the launch build or the Steam Community Hub announcements.
