I just bought Kingdom Rush: Alliance. When do you think it fell off? Was it before the DLCs, or only with the DLCs? How do you compare it to Kingdom Rush: Vengeance? Personally, I like Alliance a bit better, but they feel the same, especially in the Dwarven Kingdom DLC.

And probably all this time, subconsciously, both of them do.

I'm the one who posted and said that the Phantom Troupe are the counterparts of the Zodiacs of the Hunter Association, or vice versa (on my other account, that is). I wanted to share the similarities and reasons why they are counterparts to each other, starting with Ging and Chrollo.

They are both considered special or geniuses (Nen being one of their respective specialties), even among the prodigies of the Hunter x Hunter world. They are both smart and able to outsmart other incredibly intelligent characters, such as the Zodiacs, especially Cheadle, Kurapika, and Hisoka. They're also able to come up with strategies, either right off the bat or with enough preparation time, especially when fighting other Nen users. They're both incredible leaders, capable of making great decisions and sound judgments.

The more specific, profound, or complex things that make them similar, or counterparts to each other:

1. They can use more than two abilities, which is rare even among the top Nen users. Chrollo's ability lets him steal other abilities as long as he meets all the necessary conditions. Ging, on the other hand, doesn't have a specific ability that lets him use many abilities (especially since we don't even know his Nen category yet, let alone his abilities), but he can copy them simply because he's that talented, according to him.

2. They're incredibly good at hiding their presence and/or erasing any trace that they've been there. As Killua said, it's "like a superpowered form of Zetsu." To add to that, they also have people who specialize in En tracking them: Kite "hunting" Ging as his final test, and Zeno tracking Chrollo to assassinate him.

3. They're both only truly known or understood by their friends. We all know Ging is hated or disliked by almost everyone except his friends, especially his closest ones. His friends are the only ones who truly know what he's like and who he really is. The same can be said for Chrollo. Having known him since childhood and experienced everything they've been through together, they know who he truly is and what he cares about. They're the only ones who truly love and care for him. Everyone else thinks he's just a psychopathic murderer with no compassion for anyone (which is true to an extent). The same goes for Ging—everyone who isn't his friend just thinks he's an asshole. The only difference is that Chrollo only cares about his friends, the Spiders.

That's all I can think of for now. If you guys have any other similarities you can share, just put them in the comments.

I’m still a bit disappointed that we never got to see a get-together between Zagreus and his cousins, especially Artemis, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Dionysus. We never even got to see what happened when Zagreus invited them to the Underworld. Still, it’s great that Artemis, Hermes, and some of the Olympians still want Zagreus to be able to go to Olympus (they mentioned it in Hades II).
