After further consideration, I would rank him as the new number 12 hero, just less than Alric. Bonus info: 1. He unlocks at stage 12 2. The smaller earthquake AOE actually does true damage! 3. You can teleport him in the middle of summoning meteors to redirect the last one to his new location (the one he teleports to). 4. The 100% stun chance is at the back of the AOE, but the direction he faces means it isn’t always closest to the exit. 5. He does actually have 8 bars for speed. The hero room stats shown on the video are being updated as we speak.
Can you talk about the shaolin temple tower? How good is it in your opinion? Should I think of it as artillery, or archer or stalling? How does it compare to furnace for stalling?
@@aldoushuxley5953may be a bit late, but as someone who has used the tower extensively, i would consider it a combo of stalling, support and anti-air. It's probably the most consistent tower for dealing with flying units, the gold gain is significant if you are focusing enemies into a single chokepoint, and the stun keeps your units alive. The unit it spawns is also very powerful, making it great for building a chokepoint. All in all, its one of my favourite towers in the game, and it's probably one of, if not my most used. Wouldn't recommend it as your sole damage source against bulky enemies though, its role is to make your other towers best able to deal with them by stunning them and culling the fodder.
One final bit I literally just found out, is that the gold aura stacks multiplicatively, meaning that each purchase of the aura will give you 1.1x more gold per unit death
Malik's earthquake, Ingvar's invincibility, Magnus' teleportation, and King Denas' Rain of Fire ability altogether in a single hero? I'd like to think that Ten'shi was an old hero in the early days of Linirea who mentored all of the heroes when they were young, with some of them inheriting his traits over time as a result of their training.
This guy is insane, just tested him few seconds ego on Rotwick(to lvl him up quickly). Probably the strongest hero in KR1. He's literally few heroes combined. You got Ingvar immortality, Malik aoe stun, Magnus teleport, but it's just better, insane aoe damage and mini rain of fire, this guy is insane.
I think Ignus is still better by a fair chunk. Surge of Flames has a 4 second cooldown, and still does true damage. Ignus is also very useful on any levels, while Ten'Shi only becomes great when he gets to level 8, and considering how slow he levels up it's a pain
Well this was unexpected from ironhide side. Hmmm maybe an impossible mode for frontiers or even the original would be a good addition. I can already imagine:saurian brute has high armor now,savant has 1500 HP, Umbra has high magic resistance ohhhh.
@@Voduke789 I was thinking there should be a difficulty harder than Champion difficulty. Perhaps a difficulty where star upgrades are not used, which could be called something cool like Venerable difficulty.
@@vnwa7390 Many of the Iron and Heroic elite stages on champion are impossible or ludicrously hard without allowing certain upgrades, I think champion has pushed how difficult KR can be while still being possible to its limits, and that a harder difficulty would be outright impossible.
Great review! A couple very minor things: - The quake attack's initial impact actually deals true damage, not physical. This is also true for both Malik and Young Malik, and the wiki is wrong about it. - Since the quake can be aimed both ways, it's not always the one closest to the exit that has 100% stun chance, but the one furthest from Ten'shí. - One thing to note is that the level 10 Iron Time cooldown is 22s and Firerush! is 25s, so they almost match up. With a little micro, you can get them to sync up pretty nicely. - Troll Chieftains are great punching bags, as they barely regen slower than Ten'shí damages them. You can get a lot of xp from them.
I'd argue he's definitely Top 10.He's at the same level as ignus if not better.He does true damage,Teleports,Has massive area physical damage and Invincibility
The Original Kingdom Rush Is Simpler than Other KR Games. That's why it's my Favourite. I wish Iron Hide game Studios add Even more Stuff to the original Kingdom Rush
Ten'Shi is much better in KR1 than they would be anywhere else. Fragile melee with a teleport. Kr1 healing helps so freaking much. Vengence healing would probably make him quite weak, most heros arnt that affected by it
i was hoping to see ten'shi ranked at the 10th place(since its existence and name is highly related to the number 10). But anyway, nice video as always.
Great job as always Voduke. Love the effort you put into these videos. It really shows you're not some random yt guy with 10 hours in the game (yes Pimperson, I will never forgive you for puting Gerald lower than Aleria) but the real mo... I mean professional. Hope you didn't have much traumatic flashbacks while making this video, and I can't wait for the next one.
The only thing that hold back tenshi is the game itself (because he's the wielder of all power that mean that he's have all hero power, but instead he only use some of them) ❤
It can be annoying when Ironquake travels the wrong direction. If a single enemy passes by Ten'shí while he transforms, he will prioritize that one and send Ironquake towards the exit, even if there are lots more targets the other way.
Well,this was unexpected. I have been having a pretty shit day so far, but this was more than enough to get me in good mood again. P.S: When's the Lokr hero review coming out?
I'm most assuredly not going to question Voduke's ratings of the heroes in comparison to others in the series since he put so much time, effort, and research into comparing them. (And because I literally haven't played any of The Kingdom Rush Series besides KR1) But there's definitely something to be said about just how strong teleporting is in a game where Heroes regenerate to full health in about 4 seconds. Due to the fact that once Ten Shi levels up enough he also has access to an invincible state as well as stun AOEs make him ridiculously versatile and practically unkillable. In the hands of a smart player who's paying attention, Ten Shi can zip around combat to do practically any task needing attention provided he's not in Iron Time. This guy is freaking OP if you can use him right, not to mention just like Voduke said in the video, he's also just a lot of fun. And if anything, that's the most important part.
Never thought that kingdom rush would get an update! Sadly not on Nintendo switch yet, but I'm hoping it will come soon. Update: We got him boys, and on Christmas even!
Voduke you have beaten me I was sleeping and today I was busy so I was gonna wait until Saturday to post my review on him and here you have reviewed him like in just some hours. Impressive. Nice review tho but I don’t know if I would rank him next to Oni but great review
There is a little exploit with teleportation: you actually can make heroes teleport closer than intended. If you click somewhere far enough for teleportation to start and then quickly click somewhere else, the hero will teleport to the place you last clicked. Its only really useful on slow heroes and can be hard to do on mobile devices, but my favourite hero is Magnus and his walking speed is so bad that teleporting even a amall distance is still faster than going on foot, so with some micro I pretty much use him as reinforcements
hey a rlly dum question i thought after defeating vez nan the game ends, how did u unlock levels with kr origin enemies and other levels?? genuinely confused

Let’s not forget that aside from everything, he is F R E E
probably the best thing about it
Agreed
Chad lightseker is free too and very strong.
There is catha in origins and alric and bruxa in frontiers
What he's free
How much does one hero usually cost?
I really like the idea that Ten Shi in some way developed the meteor ability we have in the game, that to me really sells him as an ancient force
Oh that’s awesome!
Well another hero that didnt stop the 2nd invasion of veznan 🤣

@@hafidzsiddiq9827 sorry you misspelled ignus
late reply but it is canon that tenshi is xin’s master from origins
Magnus was a student of Vez'Nan
Oh also naturally does True Damage.
”Its iron time” Ten’shi said, as he proceeded to iron on all the enemies. Truly one of the moments in kingdom rush history
You forgot that he can attack air with the meteor ability

Honestly he’s pretty good,his meteor ability is insane when in groups and is good at holding the line
his teleportation allowed me to finally make ancient necropolis at heroic. Thank you Voduke
U know, there is a familiar warm comfort feeling when you make video rating heroes. I really expect you will do it since he came out!
Oh god it's just been around idk 2 hours since he released and you already have an analysis video
That’s why he’s my fav
They really just gave him Doom Tank crush huh? Like literally the same exact visual effects too
Ten'Shi is much better in KR1 than they would be anywhere else.
Fragile melee with a teleport. Kr1 healing helps so freaking much. Vengence healing would probably make him quite weak, most heros arnt that affected by it
God I love that you put (Chonk) next to Ignus in the tierlist
What I gather is that he's inspired by Master Roshi, (like think about when Roshi makes himself ripped.)
i was hoping to see ten'shi ranked at the 10th place(since its existence and name is highly related to the number 10).
But anyway, nice video as always.

I don't know if you monetized the video, but I turned off my adblocker just to support you. I see your legendary dedication on this legendary game.
He is actually really good most of the time I put him behind shadow archers or ranger units so he can use rain of fire on them
The best hero of kingdom rush 1. Can literally hold most of the game on his backs once reach the leve 6
As fast and profesional as always, youre such a pro🔥🔥🤩
Ten'shi is pretty good especially in glacial heights
A nice tribute to Master Roshi!
this guy supplies the ROF he only came onto the battlefield to have some fun
I almost screamed of hapiness when i saw him
I can believe they still try to make an update for the first KR game
And he look like a 10-years anniversary gift from Iron Hide
Well, his description says everything
He's the true legend, the myth, the master of the master
Bruh, I love your videos. I wish UA-camrs for other games made videos with this level of detail and information.
I thnk he should "teleport" like saitama does, he goes so fast that desappears and appears again at the place you ordered
The only thing that hold back tenshi is the game itself (because he's the wielder of all power that mean that he's have all hero power, but instead he only use some of them) ❤
Let's not forget when he dies he goes full jedi death.
It can be annoying when Ironquake travels the wrong direction. If a single enemy passes by Ten'shí while he transforms, he will prioritize that one and send Ironquake towards the exit, even if there are lots more targets the other way.
One of the best hero in classical KR.

I am waiting to see if any balance updates come out before I continue reviewing the heroes.
pretty entertaining video for being about some flash looking game i've never played
I’m surprised you watched it! I recommend Kingdom Rush, the first game is free
The strongest hero i kingdom rush for me, i was able to complete rotten forest on hard mode because of him
Ten shi really helped me alot of saving lives
Didnt expect to be this fast m8
Adding a new hero makes sense kingdom rush has been out for 10/11 yrs and the heros name is ten shi
There's 2 more slots... I wonder if that's some kind of foreshadowing
Yeah in 2 more decades

So does fire rush have 20 or 25 sec cooldown? And is the stun chance by ironquake 20% or 25%? You mentioned them both in this video
Oh, my bad if I said the other numbers. The cooldown is 25 seconds, and the stun chance is 25% as well.

Help voduke, whenever tenshi battles an enemy that can dodge he misses most of his attack instead of just 30%?
That’s a problem with units who have slow attack speed. It makes missed attacks stick out like a sore thumb.
Are they into adding oriental elements to all of the games? Would be a perfect Christmas gift.

Better than Alric!!!!!

12 alleria
11 thor
10 invar
9 Malik
8 king denus
7 Magnus
6 hacksaw
5 sir Gerald
4 oni
3 ten shi
2 elora
