Druid and Super monkeys – Main damage dealers

The challenge throws the player into round 50 with a dart monkey, a boomerang monkey and 15k of cash. You will find yourself on a map that doesn’t have a lot of distance to defend adding to the difficulty of the rather tight budget.

This guide is based on the druid monkey (2-5-0) and the super monkey (2-5-0) as the main damage dealers. You should have therefore unlocked the full paths of both of them. Should you not be ready yet, play a few normal maps on hard difficulty and use these towers to gain experience points for them. Speaking of druids it also makes sense to equip Obyn as the hero as it buffs druids.

Video Guide – Protect The Yacht

The detailed way of beating this challenge would be too difficult to describe round for round which is why we made a video guide that you can follow more easily. The main concept of the winning strategy is explained below in text form.

Monkey village – Supermonkey on SALE!

On the first round in the challenge you only get 15k to work with. You can use this money more effectively by buying the (0-0-2) monkey village which reduces the cost of all monkeys and upgrades (up to tier 3) by 10%. This allows you to buy the middle path Super monkey which is able to destroy the MOAB and the rest of the bloons with ease. This trick will also save you some money later in the game.

Druid of the Storm – Time maker

As mentioned earlier, the track of the blooms is extremely short in comparison to other maps. If large waves of blooms are rushing in your main damage dealer will not have enough time to blast them all away. The strategy here is to place two druid (3-2-0) of the storm monkeys right at the end of the straight part of the track where they will push the bloons back on the track giving the supermonkey more time to pop them.

Helicopter monkey – short term MOAB defense

Im sure there are more elegant ways to defend of the large numbers of fortified MOABs rushing through at later stages of the game but the helicopter monkey on the lower path allows for a very effective destruction that once again leverages the effect of the main damage dealers by pushing the bloons back and giving more time to attack them.

The Ultimate Solution – 5th tier Druid and 5th tier Super Monkey

Although it seems scary selling all you towers off, the (2-5-0) Druid is definitely worth it. Thanks to its carpet of spikes along the whole way this monkey deals with however many ceramics you can throw at it.

Furthermore in combination with the added super monkeys it easily deals with MOABs too. The 5th tier super monkey for the final rounds is basically just the cherry on top to make sure nothing is coming through. Don’t forget to miss using its power at the right time though or you will have a rather bad day.

Summary

The Protect the Yacht challenge is without a doubt a quite difficult one to master. This guide hopefully helped you to find a way through the bloon rounds or gave you inspiration for your own tactic. Either way have fun playing!

You get this once you completed 3 mew game runs with 1, 2 and 3 modifiers.

Following our last selection of great BTD6 towers, here are another bunch of actually good but underrated towers and upgrade paths in the popular tower defense game Bloons TD 6. Many people underestimate these but with the right tactic they can be an integral part of the defense.

Spike Factory

To avoid a disaster, build a Spike Factory near the exit. Any balloon camouflaged, lead, or otherwise will fail over spikes with the right upgrade. Especially for new players, the “set it and forget it” nature of spike factorys is really convenient. Furthermore you can build and level this for surprisingly little money. The upper upgrade path combined with the middle one offers great all around damage (3-2-0) and for a perfect mid game last line of defense.

Monkey Ace

Complex maps are known for sending balloon waves down multiple paths. Most towers can’t cover both paths simultaneously, but a Monkey Ace in the center of the map deals with bloons everywhere. Upgrades allow the Monkey Ace to destroy camouflaged balloons and increase the fire power. Single-target towers will be needed, but the Monkey Ace is the best mid round tower for these maps as it offers whole map coverage.

And while in its standard form the ace doesn’t shoot aimed arrows meaning it is nearly useless for early rounds, in the later game when your whole screen is covered with bloons anyway it is the perfect mass damage dealer. In this case the upper upgrade path (4-0-2) is ideal.

Alchemist

The Alchemist boosts damage when popping Ceramic, Lead, and MOAB balloons. As a mainly support tower it most importantly buffs nearby towers strongly, making it a crucial finishing touch for most strategies. The Alchemist can make a little extra money by converting lead bloons (and later even rubber bloons) into gold (0-0-4) and placing acid pools on the tracks. Despite its support role, this tower is the cherry on top of most effective tactics on the most challenging difficulty levels as it greatly increases the popping power of your main damage dealers when upgraded to the upper path (3-0-0).

Druid Monkey

If you haven’t used the druid monkey much so far this is undoubtedly the most impressive out of this list. Starting with the third upgrade on the middle path “druid of the jungle” the tower spawns thorns that grab bloons anywhere on the track and break them down until they’re gone.

While this itself is already a powerful feature to have, the tier 5 middle path upgrade “spirit of the forest” is the reason why this tower is such a huge area damage dealer. Once upgraded the druid covers the track of the map in thorns that deal increasingly more damage the closer the track is to the tower. Furthermore the top path of the druid has the ability to push bloons back to the start of the track while Avatar of Wrath on the bottom path buffs other druids and is best used in whole groups of this tower.

Overall the druid might be one of the most versatile towers in the game while still offering a cheap start and good option for earlier rounds.

Bloons Tower Defense 6 requires strategic tower placement to fend off waves of balloons. Mastering the game’s mechanics is challenging but rewarding, and there are many towers and upgrades. This article covers some of the best towers and upgrades advanced players recommend for battlefield success.

The lucrative Banana Farm and versatile Wizard Monkey each have unique strengths and abilities to help players defend against all the bloons. There is a tower for every strategy and playstyle, whether you want to boost your banana income, up your attacks, or support your other towers.

Banana Farm

Banana Farms are a necessity to reach higher rounds We need a few of these placed in the middle rounds to afford many upgrades.

Players can choose upgrades that automatically collect bananas as it is painfully annoying to collect them all by hand. If you have a banana farmer, which you can get for a small sum of in game monkey money, you can max out the first path for a maximum production banana farm (5-2-0). If you dont have a farmer it makes more sense to go the third path as the market place auto collects (0-2-4).

Wizard Monkey

The wizard monkey tower meets many criteria for being good. Its instant damage, range, and damage over time abilities help take down challenging targets. On the third path (0-0-4) the Wizard Monkey can revive balloons and send these “zombie” allies backward toward the entrance. Denser and more complicated waves give the Wizard Monkey endless balloons to throw at the enemies.

Super Monkey

Sometimes the higher difficulties try to cram too many balloons at a time leaving beginners feeling hopeless. It’ll take something with more fire power to stop the waves.

Regarding speed nothing beats the power of the Super Monkey. Even on rather low upgrades like (2-2-0) the super monkey is a great tower with incredible shooting power and very far range. Upgrade the first path for even more popping power and you have the ultimate high round work machine.

Monkey Village

Many great monkey towers can’t target camouflage or lead balloons. The solution: the monkey village on the second path (0-2-0) in close proximity. Place all your towers around it and let the magic happen.

But this support structure offers even more. The bottom track boosts players’ economies, and the top track boosts range and monkey attack speed. When used correctly, this can therefore be one of the most powerful towers on the map.

Heli Pilot

The Heli Pilot is valid on all maps because it can follow the bloons with the top upgrade path (2-0-0). Heli Pilot becomes essential on epic maps with changing courses, spawn points, and exits. You can benefit from being in front of every balloon when it spawns, regardless of the position of your main damage dealers.

Beast Handler

Players disagree on the Beast Handler. It is mostly viewed as a very useless tower that doesn’t deal enough damage and isn’t worth it among the many great options the game offers. In my opinion this needs to corrected as the beast handler quite definitely packs a punch with its possibility to combine many separate towers. Take look at our detailed run down for more information.

Tack Shooter

Veterans claim the Tack Shooter is the most underrated tower in Bloons TD 6. It my not sink giant MOAB class blimps or deal huge damage but in the right position it offers a cheap option to get rid of many smaller balloons hordes with ease. This works great in early and mid-rounds when thicker balloon waves stack. Later in the game the Tack Shooter doesn’t destroy the blimps but usually deals well with the smaller balloons they are filled with.

Monkey Buccaneer

Buccaneers are very versatile and can even become aircraft carriers that shoot planes all over the track or make money while attacking, which is an excellent early strategy for players who don’t want to use banana farms.

The Pirate Lord, the middle path tier 5 Buccaneer, can grab MOAB-class blooms without popping them, making this one of the most powerful towers in the whole game. Upgraded in the right way, this tower is also able to work without any support towers as it is able to hit any bloon type with ease.

Auf geht’s! – 1. Den richtigen Helden auswählen

Bevor wir mit einer neuen Runde CHIMPS auf der Affenaue beginnen, musst du den richtigen Heldenaffen für die Aufgabe auswählen. Im folgenden Tutorial werde ich Obyn, den Druidenhelden, verwenden. Glücklicherweise ist er kostenlos und man kann ihn verwenden, ohne kostbares Affengeld ausgeben zu müssen. Das Tutorial ist ab jetzt in verschiedene Runden unterteilt, in denen man handeln, upgraden oder in irgendeiner Form platzieren muss. Dazwischen kann das Spiel einfach durchlaufen. Lies also den nächsten Schritt, bevor du ihn erreichst. Viel Spaß!

Runde 6 – Die ersten Schritte sind wichtig

Da CHIMPS bereits in Runde 6 startet, musst du richtig gut und vorbereitet ins Spiel starten. Der beste Turm, um das entspannt zu tun, ist der Druide. Platziere ihn in der unteren linken Ecke der ersten „Kreuzung“. Damit hat er genug Deckung, um bis Runde 9 die alleinige Verteidigung zu sein.

Runde 9 – der Held kommt zur Rettung

Um weiterzukommen, platziere den Helden Obyn, in der unteren rechten Ecke der ersten Kreuzung direkt neben dem Druiden. Er wird dem Druiden nun beim Platzen von Bloons helfen und ihm auf höheren Ebenen einige andere nette Boosts geben.

Runde 14 – Upgrades für den Druiden

Um ohne größere Sorgen in höhere Runden zu gelangen, upgraden Sie Ihren Druiden auf dem Mittelweg auf (0-2-0).

Runde 21 – noch mehr Upgrades für den Druiden

Sobald Sie Runde 21 erreicht haben, sollten Sie genug Geld haben, um Ihrem Druiden ein weiteres Upgrade auf dem Mittelweg zu kaufen. Er sollte jetzt auf (0-3-0) aufgerüstet sein.

Passen Sie in Runde 24 auf den Tarn-Bloon auf und lesen Sie jetzt den nächsten Schritt, bevor Sie Runde 23 erreichen!

Runde 24 – sei vorsichtig und lass es langsam angehen

Auch wenn Ihre Verteidigungslinie gegen die Bloons recht gut funktioniert, ist in Runde 24 Schluss. Um den einzelnen Tarnballon in dieser Runde zu bekämpfen, müssen Sie die Kraft des Helden Obyn aktivieren, wenn der Bloon eintritt, um ihm einen Dornbusch in den Weg zu stellen. Sie sollten das Spiel bereits in Runde 23 verlangsamen, da es sonst ziemlich schwierig werden kann, den richtigen Zeitpunkt zu finden.

Runde 29 – Verstärkung der Tarnverteidigung

Du hast in Runde 24 bereits einen Tarnballon besiegt, aber die dort verwendete Methode wird nicht lange halten. Um dabei zu helfen, platziere ein Affendorf in der oberen linken Ecke der Kreuzung und verbessere es auf (0-2-0), damit alle Affen in seiner Reichweite Tarnballons besiegen können.

Runde 33 – Upgrade des Druiden

Um dich auf die immer größer werdenden Massen an Bloons vorzubereiten, die auf dich zukommen, rüste den ursprünglichen Druiden auf dem oberen Pfad auf (2-3-0) auf, wodurch er Blitzeinschläge aussenden kann.

Runde 39 – Vorbereitung auf den MOAB

Um sich langsam auf den bevorstehenden MOAB vorzubereiten, platziere einen Bombenwerfer in der oberen rechten Ecke der ersten Kreuzung und rüste ihn auf dem mittleren Pfad auf (2-3-0) auf. Stelle außerdem sicher, dass er sich in Reichweite des Affendorfs befindet.

Runde 41 – ein scheinbar wertloses Upgrade

Sobald du das Geld hast, rüste den Druiden auf dem mittleren Pfad auf (2-4-0) auf. Obwohl dieses Upgrade dem Druiden die Möglichkeit geben würde, mit einer Fähigkeit Geld zu generieren, ist dies im CHIMPS-Modus nicht möglich, aber wir müssen dieses Upgrade trotzdem kaufen, um zum viel mächtigeren Upgrade der fünften Stufe zu gelangen. Wenn du gerade schon dabei bist, schalten auch die Priorität des Druiden von stark auf erster um.

Am Ende von Runde 41 oder zu Beginn von Runde 41 solltest du außerdem genug Geld haben, um das Upgrade mit dem größeren Radius auf dem oberen Pfad für das Affendorf zu kaufen und kurz darauf auch das Upgrade für die Dschungeltrommeln, um es zu aktivieren (2-2-0).

Mit diesen Upgrades solltest du nun bis Runde 46 gut gerüstet sein.

Runde 46 – Verstärkung der MOAB-Verteidigung

Um gegen den kommenden BFB (roter MOAB-Klasse-Bloon) zu kämpfen, muss der Bombenwerfer auf dem mittleren Pfad zum MOAB-assasin aufgerüstet werden. Er sollte sich dann auf dem Upgrade-Pfad (2-4-0) befinden.

Runde 50 – Auslöschung der Bloon-Massen

Um mit den großen Mengen an Bloons fertig zu werden, empfiehlt es sich, einen weiteren Bombenwerfer direkt neben dem bereits vorhandenen zu platzieren, sodass er sich in Reichweite des Affendorfs befindet. Du solltest auch genug Geld haben, um diesen auf (0-2-4) aufzurüsten, damit er das rekursive Cluster upgrade hat.

Runde 53 – Verlangsamen Sie Ihre Feinde

Die Bloons können bei diesen Runden ziemlich schnell angreifen. Um sie zu verlangsamen, platziere einen Klebepistolen-Affen direkt neben dem Affendorf und rüste ihn auf (0-2-4) auf, damit er die MOABs stark verlangsamt.

Mit diesem Setup bist du nun gut gerüstet bis zur 74. Runde.

Runde 74 – entfesselt die Stufe 5

Nachdem du über die Runden dein ganzes Geld gespart hast, solltest du dir jetzt das letzte Upgrade der fünften Stufe für den Druiden leisten können, den Geist des Waldes (2-5-0). Dies verleiht ihm die Fähigkeit, gefährliche Stacheln über den ganzen Weg wachsen zu lassen.

Runde 79 – Verstärkung der Türme

Um die Angriffstärke der Türme zu erhöhen, platziere einen Alchemisten links vom Druiden und fahre fort, indem du ihn auf (4-0-2) aufrüsten.

Runde 84 – Den MOABs das Leben schwer machen

Um es den MOABs in den bevorstehenden letzten Spielrunden schwerer zu machen, platziere einen Ninja-Affen über dem ersten Bombenwerfer, sodass dieser noch vom Affendorf verdeckt wird und werte ihn zum Haftbomben-Pfad (0-2-4) auf.

Runde 92 – zweiter level 5 Affe

Nachdem du etwas mehr Geld gespart hast, solltest du genug haben, um dir deinen zweiten Affen der Stufe 5 leisten zu können. Wähle den Ninja-Affen aus, den du einen Schritt zuvor platziert hast, und rüste ihn zum Meisterbomber auf (0-2-5).

Runde 97 – letzte Schritte

Jetzt hast du es fast geschafft. Um es endgültig zu beenden, kannst du einen Eisaffen neben den Ninja stellen und ihn auf (2-0-4) upgraden. Damit solltest du das Spiel erfolgreich durchspielen können. Um auf Nummer sicher zu gehen, kannst du zu Beginn der 100. Runde noch das (2-0-5)-Upgrade für den Eisaffen kaufen.

Sieg!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, du hast es geschafft! Du hast den bösen BAD in Runde 100 im CHIMPS-Modus erledigt! Du kannst jetzt entscheiden, ob du das Spiel beendest oder ins freie Spiel wechseln möchtest. Indem du einfach die vorhandenen Türme aufrüstest, kannst du noch ein paar Runden höher kommen, was du dann jedem in deinem Konto-Dashboard zeigen kannst.

Wie auch immer, wir hoffen, du hattest Spaß und danke fürs Lesen. Schreibe alle Fragen in die Kommentare und wir werden sie so schnell wie möglich beantworten.

Gaming laptops are flashy, overly expensive, run hot and have battery life that is measured in seconds. Thats the sterotypical view many people have on this portable computer category. For many years this was actually true but todays microchips have high enough efficiency to work at incredible speed and performance in small enclosures. Clever design and advanced liquid metal, vapor champers and special alloy technology have also solved the extreme temperature problems. There even is an increasing market for sensible gaming laptops without flashy RGB leds all over it. All problems solved? Not quite. One problem still persists!

Battery life problems

While the cooling solutions improved with the efficiency of the chips, running a modern CPU at its max draws huge amounts of power. A highend gaming laptop chip like the i9 12900H usually has a TDP of 45W with turbo peaks reaching to 115W! These are enormous amounts of power and need to be kept running somehow. In a laptop that needs to be used on the go all this juice is comming from a battery. And because they should not wheight 10kg and because there are airline travel limits on the battery capacity there are some general limitations regarding this part. The general maximum capacity you are going to find is 100Wh meaning you can draw 100W for an hour before the battery is empty.

When the laptop is drawing 50W only for the CPU and completly disregarding a potentially even more power hungry GPU you can expect the battery to last 2 hours in a good scenario. While this is a terribly unpractical battery life that is actually the reality of many gaming laptops making them unusable without a power outlet nearby.

The solution!

But there is a solution to this enormous problem: Power limits! As simple and profound this may sound it turns out to be not as easy in reality. Of course a chip made for 45W TDP wont simple throtle down to 3W and be happy performing like an ultrabook but there are some possibilites.

G-Helper for Asus laptops

If you own an Asus Laptop there is the community made G-Helper software that i can highly recommend for this. Download it from GitHub here. This programm is similar to ROGs native armoury crate but with a bit more customizability and lightweightness.

settings for maximum battery run time

1. Turn on Eco Mode for the GPU to turn it off completly
2. Set the screen to 60Hz
3. Turn off the keyboard lighting
4. Go to Extra and stop all the Asus services from running
5. Select the Silent Mode
6. Go to Fans + Power
7. Put windows power mode on best power efficiency
8. Put the CPU Boost to efficient aggressive
9. Put the Power limit 1 all the way down to 5W and Power Limit 2 to around 15W
10. Click apply power limits

Additional

Turn on the Windows energy saving mode, turn Bluetooth off, reduce the screen brightness to 80%,disable any other unused connections and reduce the background processes to a minmum.

Throttlestop Alternative

Throttlestop is a popular software that allows undervolting and power limiting for your CPU. There are many different tutorials on the internet on how to change its very confusing but potent set of settings to fit your needs and reduce the power consumtion drasticaly. The great thing is that this does work on nearly all computers (at least to some extent).

Result

Through the heavy cutting down of the processor power you should see your displayed discharging wattage go down. In my case of the i9 12900H it reached 10W. Should you reduce the screen brightness even further and have only lightweight office work running on your laptop you can manage to even get to around 8W on such a heavy duty processor. Naturally this allows for much better battery life with the Windows Display literally doubling the estimated runtime from 3,5 to 7 hours. A few tests proved this estimation right resulting in much better battery life then before. And while this has a significant impact on the overall performance, it allows for very long runtime with light offic work making this mode perfect for work, school and university.

Introduction to CHIMPS Mode

CHIMPS mode removes all forms of help and bonuses, providing a raw test of strategy. With 100 rounds to survive and no room for mistakes, success in this mode requires flawless play. The various maps in BTD6 add another layer of difficulty, each presenting its own set of challenges and opportunities. While some maps may seem nearly impossible, others offer a more manageable path to victory. If you are a starter and have difficulty getting CHIMPS done check out these maps in accending order.

Best Maps for CHIMPS in BTD6

10. Monkey Meadow

As the first map, Monkey Meadow offers a balanced challenge. Its loops and overlapping track sections provide many strategic placement options for towers. However, the limited water areas mean fewer chances for powerful water-based towers, adding a small twist to the strategy. Despite this, its relative simplicity makes it a great starting point for players aiming for a CHIMPS win.

9. Winter Park

Winter Park is popular for its straightforward layout. The long path and multiple corners ensure excellent tower coverage, and the central fountain allows for the use of submarines and buccaneers, which are very strong in CHIMPS mode. This makes Winter Park an ideal choice for beginners facing the CHIMPS challenge.

8. Town Center

Town Center combines simplicity with strategic depth, similar to an easier version of Monkey Meadow. The winding track and available water spots make it a very good map for CHIMPS runs. Players must navigate line of sight issues caused by buildings on the map, but careful tower placement can easily solve these problems.

7. Infernal

Infernal, an expertlevel map, surprisingly offers a manageable route to CHIMPS success. The dual tracks and ample water spots create unique strategic opportunities. Though challenging, its design allows for effective use of various tower types, making it a rewarding option for experienced players aiming to showcase their skills.

6. Park Path

Park Path is a balance between challenge and accessibility. The looping track ensures extensive coverage, and the central stream supports boat usage, enhancing defensive capabilities. This map is perfect for intermediate players workin on their CHIMPS strategies.

5. Off the Coast

Despite its scary appearance, Off the Coast is a straightforward map for CHIMPS mode. Its long, straight path and numerous water spots simplify tower placement and strategy. This map is excellent for players trying to train before moving on to more difficult challenges.

4. Candy Falls

Candy Falls combines length and looping tracks, offering numerous opportunities for effective tower placement. Its long path supports sustained defense, making it one of the easier maps for CHIMPS. By the way, it features a fun Easter egg, rewarding players with a special song and an achievement.

3. Dark Castle

Dark Castle, an expert-level map, is deceptively manageable in CHIMPS mode. Its initial four lanes quickly converge into a single path, enabling concentrated defense. The presence of water and the absence of significant line-of-sight issues further simplify tower placement. Dark Castle is ideal for players seeking an expert CHIMPS medal.

2. Resort

Resort is one of the easiest maps for CHIMPS due to its forgiving layout. This waw the first map i myself managed to complete. The upper right corner sees repeated Bloon passes, allowing a few well-placed towers to handle most of the defense. The big space with much room for water monkeys aswell makes this a straightforward CHIMPS win.

1. Logs

Logs is widely considered the easiest map in BTD6. Its extensive track coverage and simple layout make it a go to for players attempting CHIMPS for the first time. The presence of water and frequent Bloon passes through track intersections ensure straightforward and effective tower placement. Logs is highly recommended for beginners aiming to earn their first CHIMPS medal.

Conclusion

Mastering CHIMPS mode in BTD6 is a significant achievement, showcasing a player’s strategic depth and understanding of the game. But by carefully selecting the right maps and knowing the right strategies, even this challenge can be overcome. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a newcomer, these maps offer a good start to conquering one of the toughest modes in the game.

This is not an affiliate link neither is this article advertising for Bloons Tower Defense 6.

Bloons Tower Defense 6 boss fights are some of the most fun things to do. Bloonarius and Lych, two huge MOABs, and their unique abilities make each round, especially in elite mode, a new challenge that gets harder as the rounds go up.

Choosing suitable towers is essential. Every monkey dollar counts when the boss is close. Deciding which tower to upgrade can be challenging because the game has so many. Luckily, this guide has everything you need to learn to beat bosses and get those Lych and Bloonarius medals.

Sniper Monkey – Elite Defender

In the early stages of the Bloonarius fight, controlling the crowd rushes of bloons is very important. In later levels, the towers you use to damage Bloonarius can also take care of his spawns. However, in the early levels, choosing the least expensive way to deal with the grouped bloons is essential. Your best bet is to use the elite defender (0-2-5), which eliminates many low-level bloons. Add an elite sniper (0-5-2) to it to make it stronger; even better, you can use it to make money.

Bomb Shooter – Recursive Clusters

Even though Elite Defender is an excellent way to deal with Bloonarius’ spam, recursive clusters might be an even better choice. A 2-0-4 or 0-2-4 bomb shooter will do a great job of controlling crowds for just a few thousand monkey dollars.

You only need three or four of these great towers to clear the first tier of elite Bloonarius, so remember them. In general it does help massively if you often use the recursive cluster bomb-shooter because it is one of the cheapest ways to deal with groups of balloons in the game.

Ninja Monkey – Sticky Bomb

It would help if you thought about how to hurt the bosses once the towers are in place to kill any possible spawns. Lych also spawns high-HP MOABs, so how you deal with his spawns will depend on how much damage you do to the boss.

The 1-0-4 ninja monkey is one of the best deals for tier one. Since four of these are pretty cheap and can beat even elite Bloonarius at tier one, it’s a great way to save money and still win in the first round.

Ice Monkey – Super Brittle

One important thing to remember when fighting bosses, especially in the higher levels of the elite, is to back up your damage dealers. Bloons is more than just throwing darts at balloons, even though that’s what the game is mostly about ;). With Lych you can’t use average support like alchemists because he’ll take the benefits your towers get from them.

You cannot strengthen your towers, but you can weaken the boss. When an ice monkey Super Brittle (5-2-0) is placed correctly, everything in its range takes more damage from all directions. This can weaken the boss and give your towers a significant advantage. You can think of this as an additional support for higher rounds.

Sniper Monkey – Cripple Moab

Because it can be used anywhere in the world, cripple MOAB (5-0-2) is another sniper monkey that works well as a supporting tower. Set it to “strongest” and give it the “Even Faster Firing” crosspath. It will keep going after the boss.

Cripple MOAB does damage and makes the targeted MOAB-class balloon take extra damage from all directions, making it like a whole map super brittle. When the above cross path is used, this debuff will last all the time, so cripple MOAB is a must for higher boss levels.

Druid – Avatar Of Wrath And Poplusts

You need to do much damage for tiers two and three as quickly as possible to win. You can’t use sticky bombs alone, especially in elite, so you must find other ways to deal damage that won’t cost too much. The avatar or wrath (0-2-5) is one of the best choices. Poplust (0-2-4) and its upgrade, the Avatar of Wrath, help each other when they’re close. This means an avatar surrounded by five populists can attack quickly and damage the boss heavily while it’s in range.

Dartling Gunner – M.A.D.

For both regular and elite bosses on Tier 2, the dartling gunner M.A.D (2-5-0), or MOAB Assured Destroyer, is the best weapon. You’ll need to use your mouse to follow the boss to keep the M.A.D. on target, but it does so much damage that no other tower can keep up.

On Elite, if you can’t afford a paragon by tier three, an M.A.D. with an avatar or rage setup is a good choice, so it can still be used differently. The M.A.D. is very cheap for its usefulness, so you have to have it when you fight bosses.

Super Monkey – Vengeful True Sun God

The most potent average tower in the game is the vengeful true sun god, or VTSG for short. It’s clear that it helps with boss fights, and if you’ve ever watched Bloon gameplay, you’ve probably seen it in action. But making one costs money and takes some planning, so if you make one, use the time between boss rounds wisely.

Start with an average super monkey and turn it into a sun avatar. Put 50,000 monkey dollars worth of towers from three of the four categories inside the avatar’s range, then boost it to a sun temple. Now, build 50k worth of towers from all four categories inside its radius. Get a legend of the night and an anti-balloon outside its radius outside its radius, and then level up to a true sun god. The other tier-five super monkeys will have an extra sacrifice animation, and you’ll have a VTSG.

Extra tips:

Paragons – Dart Monkey, Boomerang Monkey, Ninja Monkey, and Monkey Buccaneer

You can make a pinnacle for a very high cost when all three of a tower’s tier fives are on the map. Paragons are particular tier six upgrades. The higher the degree of a ninja paragon, the more value you put into that tower on the map and the more ninja monkeys you upgraded in those towers. The higher the total pops between those towers, the higher the degree of the ninja paragon.

Paragons already do crazy amounts of damage and do even more damage to bosses and elite bosses, so they should be used. The buccaneer paragon, navarch of the seas, is an excellent choice for water maps because you can farm merchantmen to make money, and the people you farm for money also work as great sacrifices for a while.

Banana Farms

These towers all cost a lot of money. If you want to afford them, you must start building and improving banana farms as soon as the game begins. While the 4-2-0 banana research facility makes the most money, other strategies can work. For example, central markets work well using any of the above boat farming strategies. You can turn your farms into a monkeyopolis with a village, making you even more money. You must use your farms, no matter your choice, because they are necessary for bosses.

While playing around with the different available car configurations in your favorite racing game like Forza Horizon you will probably reach the point of wanting a bit more realism. Especially if you are equipping Drifting or Offroading gear boxes. A popular and easy way of addressing this issue is the change of your sim shifter plate against one with the right amount of gears that matches your configuration in the game.

Hyped by this easy sounding option you will then soon be disappointed as you go online to find that these alternative plates cost you a fortune.

A few weeks ago we ourselves where standing at the same dilemma situation which is why we came up with the idea of designing our own shifter plates! Our version is designed to be printed with a 3D printer to allow for individual customizability and a cheap and easy production. The parts are designed to fit perfectly to the popular Thrustmaster TH8A shifter. To install them you simply remove the four screws of the original plate and swap it for your fresh new one.

Get yours here!

No 3D printer? No Problem!

Should you not have a 3D printer at home do not fear, we also got you covered!

Please write us a short Email to lj.server.info@gmail.com and we will try to send the printed parts for 5$ + shipping to your location.

Not your desired plate? Also no problem!

Video guide

As this challenge can get quite confusing on higher rounds i recommend watching the video guide as an explanation. Below you can find a few more additional tips.

How to beat the challenge – key elements

1. Make sure to have a defense for all kinds of bloons – twice!

As the gear in the middle in the map turns 1/8 of a rotation every round make sure that you have defense for all bloons classes on both sides. Two wizards monkeys (0-3-2) will do a good job of slashing through most of you problems.

2. Banana plantage – “investing upgrades”

Starting early with the Banana plantage seems like a stupid idea as it takes at least 3 upgrades away from our tight budget. The trick behind this idea is to invest these 3 upgrades to be able to afford the much more expensive upgrades for other towers in the later game.

3. Late game: super monkey to the win

As the game proceeds to the end it is wise to use the super monkey (0-2-3) upgrade as it offers the ability to jump across the map thus allowing it to always stay on the side facing the bloons track. Make sure to always use this ability as early as possible as the other side of the gear will get out of reach. Additionally this upgrade path also allows the super monkey to handle tarn bloons.

Summary

The new “Grow less than Galaxili!” is a fun but quite difficult new BTD6 challenge that came with the latest update. Using the super monkey technique and the help of this guide you can easily cope with it. Have fun!
