  • How I Beat The ELITE Vortex With NO Farms... BTD6 / Bloons TD 6 - this week's boss bans everything but the towers that have paragons - including the farm tower! Luckily to compensate we have double the bloons for double the income as well as easy mode, which makes this week much simpler than you think; here's my strategy to get a quick ranked time.
    This is my series of Bloons TD 6 strategy, gameplay, challenges, or whatever else it may be. Likes are appreciated, and subscribe & hit that bell to catch up on all future videos!

    I’m glad ISAB loves this Boss Event. Nice to see a breath of fresh air with the Boss metas and special boss challenges, and not needing to spam Banana Farms.

    • @mud4309
      @mud4309 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Fully agreed. Bosses get boring imo after long enough without a fun meta change like this. Lately NK has just been making it like “ooooo its a boss but this time theres NO BOOMER PARAGON!!! What ever shall u do???” and then you just go dart anyways. And then next week theyre like “Oh yeah? You think youre so smart well what will you do with NO DART *OR* BOOMER!!!” and then you just go 20x stacked + buff + debuff grandmaster in to Ninja Paragon anyway
      P much just repeat this cycle until you have things like that one event a few weeks back where you only had engi and ninja paragon with limited towers and it was still extremely easy and textbook to finish the same way as any other boss event

      You don’t need to optimize too hard. You just can’t wait until 20 boats before you get it. If you buy trade empire after around 12-15 boats, you can finish a full 20 favored trades army before round 40.

      They artificially made the event itself quite a bit easier, on top of having vortex who's IMO the weakest boss by far, and that's the only reason this seems easy. If they didn't give you double pops, easy mode, and vortex instead of, say, lych it would be a different story.

    is nk aware that vortex stun can be cheesed by positioning towers such that they'll do near optimal damage and timed to be stunned immediately as a wave starts, allowing you to home/continue and clear the stun with minimal downtime?
    it seems to me to run counter to the intended strategy of carefully placing towers where they won't get stunned, without necessarily having great uptime
    i dont really see how sub 8 times are possible without abusing this considering the limited income stream means you can't afford boat/dart and 2 more paragons, but i've only been playing a couple weeks so idk maybe there's a way to do phase 1 in 30 seconds
    i mean i think the stun mechanic is pretty anti-fun in general and designed specifically to extract monkey money out of players via trial and error restarts (and should probably have double the range and be affected by a linear falloff or something instead) but if you actually have the time/money to abuse stun clearing it makes top times unattainable for anyone who doesn't, which is pretty lame, i.e. it shifts the optimization of the game to of the glitch, which, again, is really lame

    Tip: To beat tier 2 elite, you don't need a paragon. You can 20x Shinobi buffed master bomber and grandmaster ninjas. The add some extra fifth tiers around like permacharge and Moab dominator, and you can beat the boss while adding pops to your ninjas and boomerangs. It helps a little bit in the end rounds. Also, it's significantly cheaper than paragons, allowing you to farm more.
