Encyclopedia

The in-game Encyclopedia is a collection of information about common game elements in Kingdom Rush, Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, and Kingdom Rush: Origins and Kingdom Rush Vengeance (Steam version only). It is accessible via the stage select screen in the bottom right corner.
==Contents==
The Encyclopedia consists of four sections:
===Towers===
The Towers page consists of all of the provided information for the four main towers in the game. It does not list any of the special unique towers that are found through the game, nor does it go into any detail beyond what is readily available in the game as standard. It updates whenever a new tower becomes available.
===Enemies===
The Enemies page features almost all the enemies that appear in the game as well as the bosses. It lists their statistics and special abilities, and updates whenever a new enemy is encountered. It only features enemies that have info boxes appear in the levels when they appear, so some enemies such as the rider-less Poukai, Gunboat or Chiefs of Endless Challenges do not appear. This article lists all enemies, in all three series, regardless if they appear in the encyclopedia entry or not.
===Tips & Tricks===
Tips and Tricks pop-up during levels as you progress, and provide a very basic strategy designed to explain how to deal with certain situations, or explain how towers work. On flash and Steam, if a player lose, then the game will randomly gives a player a tip for better playing. The tips are:

===Strategy Guide===
Choosing the Strategy Guide opens up a webpage to the Kingdom Rush website, regardless of what format you are playing on. The Strategy Guides are in fact videos of the levels being played and completed, on each of the three game modes. They either play in Normal or Veteran Mode, depending on how challenging the levels were.
