Description

The Kingpin, internally referred to as EvolvedKingpin, is the evolved version of the Crook Boss, unlocked by reaching Level 20 on the Crook Boss tower, either by getting the experience or by skipping the need to get it by paying 599 Robux. Once done, it can be bought for 5,500 Gem and 15,000 Coins. As it is an evolved tower, only some of its upgrades are unlocked at the start. All other have to be unlocked by reaching higher evolution levels on the tower. The Kingpin itself is a single target tower with no major gimmicks in the beginning, even lacking the Crook Boss' summon animation for each unit. It does however have up to three unit queues, all of which summon in can summon a different unit. There are four available options: Lackey, a simple single target unit with with decent health and DPS. The unit has hidden detection. It is unlocked from Level 0. Money Runner, the only unit that cannot be used offensively outside of collision damage that upon death generates a set amount of cash. It is unlocked from Level 0. Bouncer is a high health melee unit that attacks enemies with a bat. The unit has both hidden and lead detections. It is unlocked from Level 4B. Contractor is a high range unit that deals a lot of damage at a slow speed. It has all three detections. It is unlocked from Level 6B. While the bottom path has two units unique to itself, the top path instead gains the Bounty ability which lets the Kingpin mark an enemy in its range. While doing so, it will stop attacking enemies for 2 seconds.

Patch history

The Kingpin is one of the first three evolved towers revealed in 2020 prior to the release of the Overhaul Update. The Kingpin's top path upgrade names are likely referencing those of the Golden Crook Boss. The Kingpin's voice actor is Mitch Kaye.
