- I didn't think this would work... but it did! Really well too. Though I don't think I would use encampments normally, as a solo tower it's really nice!

I feel like encampments are the only tower where building on elevation can be a trap, especially when the elevation is directly on the path; often building on flat terrain gives you the biggest concave, thus the higher RPM.
I definitely think that encampments have a whole different build strategy than other towers
@@Verowak They definitely do and are my favorite tower. Once you figure out all their little kinks though, they can do amazingly well, even by themselves. I enjoy watching entire groups just explode in a ball of 30k damage by the end of the run, and watching one encampment able to destroy all of big brain oogie is just hilarious to me.
Map: ‘literally filled with mines’
Verowak: This is not good.
It always feels like there aren't enough mines since they stack haha
@@Verowak lol I kept yelling at the screen “that’s more than enough lady!”
When placing encampments its best to put them back a lil more from the corner. The more path blocks that are in their range, the faster they shoot. Often it's better on ground level and back a little bit because it can throw way more mines out.
Encampments are good backliners because they stack unli mines until the round ends and put it in plain terrains that cover more field is much suitable than forcing elevated places which is lower in rpm
encampments are great once you can get enough of them, I found it best to concentrate them and upgrade 2 right near the base, they will clear up bosses and the late spawns while the rest will clear up normal waves. You ideally need to expand paths to all enemies converge into a big ball as the aoe on the mines is fantastic but the refire rate is awful even in an optimally placed +6 one T_T
Its about the only tower I've completed the ballista+tower challenge and didn't just play mass ballista with 1 tower >< but VERY satisfying watching a boss spawn a bunch of stuff onto a mine pile which then blows up not only all the adds but the boss too
Definitely want them grouped up as much as possible, but I'm always worried that not enough mines are stacked together to clear the waves :D
That's the best way of doing the achievements imo, not only have 1 of the other tower. It can be much harder though, which is good! A challenge is always nice
Encampments are way more effective if you place them all as close to your main tower as possible. Placing them closer to the enemy spawns causes them to waste most of their damage output, because most of the mines they throw will be BEHIND the enemies that ran past.
Stacking encampments is extremely strong because:
An infinite number of mines can be placed on a single square.
An enemy will NOT trigger more mines than are necessary to kill it.
On this map, every encampment past the first triple split was a waste. Two tiles before the first split was a tile with a bunch of +3 terrains that would have been a perfect killbox.
yeah, an encampment needs time to put down as many mines as possible. a ROF 10 encampment with 2 minutes of dropping mines puts down 20 mines, a ROF 15 that only has 30 seconds before all the mobs have passed it only gets 7 down, then all the mobs have passed by and it keeps dropping more mines that will just get cleared at the end of the map.
Best plan is put some at the first split, and then back fill towards the tower. No encampments after the first split.
THAT SAID.... in the end the important part is that we all had fun, and the Oogies die in fiery explosions.
This was my first time actually using encampments so it was some testing to see how it played out. I'm not a huge fan of deleting towers and placing them more in more optimal locations so I learn from what I see and do.
I assumed that all mines on one tile would explode all at once, which is why I was planning more spread out, but that's not the case, which is awesome! So next time I do encampment, I'll have learned a lot from my playing :)
Definitely learned that while playing, I usually would just go for higher RPM but that's not necessary for Encampments :D
Yes more content!!!
Going to start doing 2 path challenges soon! It's scary
@@Verowak Awesome, looking forward to seeing those videos :D
I honestly love encampment more and more. I hate them at first. But they are getting stronger automatically as the game goes on. Path longer and longer. I thought that they need to nerf it a little bit. Too easy at the later stage.
Completely agree, they are VERY strong later in the game, scary at the beginning :D
I think tesla coil and encampment are the mvp of late game. They benefit more from high levels and upgrades compare to other towers.
Oh teslas are so satisfying at higher levels when they demolish enemies quickly!
I just completed a 2 path run last night with encampments and frost towers.
Oh nice! I still haven't tried Frost Towers, they don't seem great, but then again, I thought that of encampments before
@@Verowak ya I stayed away from the frost towers till just recently because I found them not so good. But paired with the encampments to slow them so the encampments can keep dropping mines while they're walking through works quite well.
@@humorinpolitics56 I'll have to try it, but not looking forward to it. Frost Towers and Radar are my least favourites
Frost towers are great once you up their armor and shield damage. I use them on any run that I'm using an AOE tower. Bunches them up, and if you spread a few out you can keep the DOTs applied as they walk up to the kill zone.
@@Verowak Radars are really good however i've noticed a "Bug". If you have it on progress it will rarely ever do anything. As it will always target the first in line, but if the target is killed before it can shoot it, it will stop the approach and target another but then their killed aswell and it stops and goes in a loop, never doing anything. so important to not set it to progress if other towers can hit them aswell.
Spike factory in Bloons do disappear each round until you upgrade them. These do best on the back lines. Best to put them in the back and let them build up. Notice how many bombs were laid out and wasted on the front lines at the end of the rounds ? Fun game.
I just remember the spike factories after the upgrade it seems
@@Verowak 😅 I always go straight for it.
Also just place them, if you don't like the coverage, just sell them at no loss and place them somewhere else, especially important for the first ones
I'm still not used to just selling towers for full price. Switching between games whete some give 50% only back, I'm still stuck in that mindset sometimes
encampment is definitely the most nerve wracking tower.
At the beginning, for sure! But then they are pretty damn strong later on
Do you think the Ooogilings knew where you were planning on placing those encampments? Do you think they were.... mine readers?
Oh wow.... 😂
I am not sure did you know,but there is a mod for speeding time and pause the game
I got the mod a couple of days ago actually! So I'll be doing that shortly :D
19:30 im doing that with my friend from sweden, but we have not averaged 4 episodes a week due to timezone issues. probably gonna take us longer than 2 years. theres something like 360 episodes plus movies, so its a year of content if you watch 1 every day
You and your friend are set for the next few years then!
Even on manaless runs people don't use haunted houses. Money is good!!!
I personally don't want the haunted house card to pollute my deck :D I do want to do a run at some point with haunted houses to show how much it gives though
this blew my mind
I think you mixed tack tower/shooter and spike factory. Tack towers are the ones who constantly shoot spikes in all directions while spike factory, lays down spikes, so you must have meant spike factory in the case of thinking the "spikes" last forever.
I know I'm a little late to the party but you're better off upgrading the lookouts as the upgrades apply to all encampments doing damage in it's range, rather than upgrading individual encampments.
You could go even further by stacking lookouts
Gold-pressed latinum = _Star Trek: Deep Six-Nine_
Never seen DS9, only Voyager and Discovery and Picard if those counts
Deep space nine ... 😊
@@orlondok
Oh, it that what it's called? My mistake. I must've been thinking of _Star Trek: Voyager,_ with that smokin' hot Borg chick, Six of Nine.
Pretty cool
Why don't you place towers beside your houses at the beginning? You can sell them once you pull the tower you want. They'll make money while on the field AND fully refund their costs after. GAINS! I'll often sell all my house protectors, if any are left, late game like they're trees.
9:45 DS9 most likely for gold pressed latinum
That's exactly it, or so chat told me :D I've never seen DS9, maybe I should put it on the list
Its the spike factory
Spike Factories
Yes! Spike factories not tack shooters, a nice brain fart
Not Telltale but Quantic Dream.
Just tried this, except all my lanes were the same, suprisingly even tho the aoe is tight 1 mine could still take out enough enemies similar to mortar
encampments only were very easy. no lookouts needed. At second try, i did it. Just flock them together like the frost keeps and at level 40, upgrade them. In the end, I tried particle canon and ballista only maybe 20 times, and I dont get it. Seems impossible.
im confused, why didnt put balistas on the start houses to gain money
Because this was an encampment and lookout tower challenge only. If I had put ballistas down, then it would have been encampment, lookout and ballista challenge.
What about the Encampments + Radar combo? Would it work do you think? Mainly because of the "modern warfare" theme, but also Radars are pretty decent at targeting down the more durable enemies, which Encampments have problems with.
This works well. It certainly solves the Oogie problem for the encampments. As usual the key is to get poison on the mines and the slow on the poison so you can clump them up.
Oh it would work well for sure! The Radars will destroy the bosses quickly. But then again, encampments and anything works since encampments can solo
Shouldn't lookout towers be set to progress to maximize the probability that the enemy that steps on a mine is marked?
Edit: noticed later that you changed it like this. This is an interesting combo
I was used to targeting the strongest ones but realized that doing that with encampments is pointless :D
might not be a good thing to put them so early and in a place where they haven't yet made it in to one path...
This was my first time using encampments really, so there's bound to be non optimal gameplay
try hotkeys 123 to do the upgrades so convenient.
For sure, but then it would be hard to see what I'm upgrading, so I manually click them
Fuck yessss been waiting for this combo
Will need to try with more than 1 path soon 😨
whats the music in the background?
That's the in game music, it's awesome!!!
tack shooter dont you mean spike factory also well played encampments are finiky little feckers
Oh yes the spike factory! Mixed them up, my bad. I haven't played bloons in too long it seems
When do you stream?
I usually start 1pm EST/6pm CET/7pm CEST (since I just had DST applied this past weekend)
Hola Vero... saludos desde Argentina
Hola!!
Mentions disliking entrapment the entire run
Almost never drops below full hp the entire run
Wat
I tried encampments once before and wasn't impressed. But with only that tower I got to really see what they're like and they're pretty good
