The most successful tower defense game Bloons TD is still getting regular updates of its newest version BTD6. Recently the New Zealand based publisher Ninja Kiwi added a new difficult challenge in corporation with a famous YouTube influencer. Here is our detailed guide for this quite hard challenge.
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!
