For those of you who don’t know what a “Super Ceramic” is, it’s a type of ceramic bloon that replaces regular ceramic bloons later on in the game. They only contain 1 rainbow bloon, but have much more health.
Since the monkey knowledge makes it so the turbocharge ability gives Camo detection, and Permacharge is basically just a permanent turbocharge, it should just have camo detection straight up, if you reeeaaaallly think about it.
bloons solver has got to be the best ceramic popper in the entire game, especially for its cheap price. M.A.D. is probably the best tower in the whole game for popping moabs (for the price, of course) permaspike is just incredibly reliable, super cheap, and does INSANE damage, with a max pile and buffs he can solo round 200 (and its literally less than 40k)
Tbf, that was round 63. I would really doubt the usefulness of AP if it couldn't defeat that round on a medium map, just because of the multiple lanes.
He ranked several of the best towers really low in that tier list. Lych's whole thing is that it steals buffs and most of the normal really good towers rely on buffs.
I feel like on top of doing hero weaknesses you should eventually do 4th tier weaknesses. There are so many towers that I would just never get the 5th tier because of the price tag and the 4th tier is still a great tower. Like 400 ice for example, given its buff I’ve been using it quite a bit but I never use 500 outside of bosses because as you mentioned, the price. Similar thing with 004/005 engi, 4th tier is great for early money but the 5th is just too expensive and is a damage support tower and not a money making tower.
1:17 That's really not true. A Bomb Blitz is like five times as strong as a Recursive cluster w/ crosspath and that's before you can add Alch buffs & Overclock on it which you can't realistically do with a group of Recursive clusters because you'd need multiple Alchs and Overclocks. Furthermore, one Bomb Blitz takes much less space.
isnt it more stronger than a recursive since its recursive shot now fires every attack instead of 2 and doing 500% more damage with 025 compared to 024 seems to make it much much better
@@usernametaken017 no its really mpt... if ur going for that many that bomb blitz is not worth it anymroeu should just buff the bomb blitz with alch buffs + overclock and watch it shred late game rounds
I have compiled a list of etienne and psi's weaknesses in a normal chimps game below; Thus concludes my list of etienne and psi's weaknesses, thank you for reading.
@@usernametaken017 Etienne is arguably best used for the fact of the global camo, which is amazing on multi-lane advanced and expert maps where it really isn't cost efficient to use multiple villages in general. Drones and UCAV do decently good damage, especially since once Etienne reaches level 16 his range gets increased massively, allowing drones to deal a lot more damage. Etienne is also REALLY good because he's the only hero outside of the original 4 which level up at a normal rate. Psi's ability to one shot any bloon regardless of location is still not useless, especially on rounds with grouped ceramics. Their level 3 and 10 are solid knockback/stun abilities for most rounds, even then by the time you need Psi for grouped/multiple moab/bfb destruction they'll be at that level anyways, especially on advanced and expert maps since they level up faster. Plus, you guessed it, their global attacks/abilities give them the upper hand over most other heroes. tl;dr: global range stronk
Here's a series idea: Upgrade correction, when you explain every upgrade addition that: - isn't listed in the upgrade description - the description doesn't say anything about the upgrade - is a lie or misleading information Examples of hidden stats: - M.O.A.B shove, it adds unlimited range missiles - M.O.A.B maulers have slightly bigger range than missile launchers Examples of descriptions, that don't explain the upgrade: - Banana Central, it boosts all 4-x-x farms. Many new players don't know about it. - The entire 1st path of Super Monkey - Apache Prime - Archmage Examples of lies and misleading informations: - Spike-o-pult's description says it has good range, even if it doesn't increase it - Super Monkey Fan Club says, it transforms nerby monkeys, even if the range if the effect is unlimited, it only prioritizes near ones - Spirit of the Forest activated ability doesn't give more cash, it just gives 1000 at the end of the round. It could be split into 4 episodes. One for each monkey type. But depending on how much of it there is, there could be less or more of them.
Fun Fact: I might be wrong, but the reason it says Spike-o-pult has extra range is that is said so in BTD5, where it DID have extra range, so I assume they just copied the descriptions without much editing.
@@gamingmarcus They changed the description in 29.0 as it used to say that it did, but i'm guessing they just forgot that it did that too when rewriting it.
this is so much help, thank you for making these videos for us. what would be a great video, is one similar to this but it shows the best synergies for towers and in certain scenarios
4:23 Yeah, the flying fortress is quite expensive, but even with some casual bank farming I can reliably get him at ~round 75 on impoppable. Also, the energizer is actually pretty good in chimps I use him all the time my usual chimps strat is to get him with a moab eliminator and buff the elim with a primary mentoring to get his ability every 3 secounds. (Btw the farming strat i use is alch buffed bloonjitsu + adora + recursive cluster which will solo till round 80 and then just IMF loan spam). Great video though, I learned really much and I hope you keep up the good work!
Quincy: struggle late game Gwen: weak to moab Jones: need bomb or mortar to take care of the moab Obyn: i never played obyn so i dont know his weakness Churchill: cost too much, need to put in straight line to maximize pierce Benjamin: useless im chimp Ezili: need other tower to deal with moab, bfb, zomb and ddt if moab hex on cooldown
Hero Weaknesses would be nice to see. For the fun of it, here are my takes of it: Quincy: Better DPS alternatives Gwendolyn: Level 16 ability is redundant, as you would already have DPS against purples, plus Round 95 is the only round where you can properly use said level buff. (Still great at hordes, though.) Striker Jones: Requires a lot of space for his passive ability of buffing Mortars and Bomb Shooters to be worthwhile. Obyn Greenfoot: Wall of Trees cannot provide money in CHIMPS. Psi: Needs specific placements to fully utilize them via Psychic Blast. Captain Churchill: Most expensive hero, very large and cumbersome, which doesn’t mesh well, since he NEEDS to be positioned properly for his bombs to do big damage. Benjamin: Extra income he provides is nonexistent in CHIMPS, Syphon Funding is very risky, as it can defeat thick hordes and downgrades MOABs and BFBs at the cost of destroying your eco. Ezili: Sacrificial Totem cannot be used in CHIMPS, unlikely to get her to max level, which allows her to OHKO BADs. Pat Fusty: Needs to have nearby monkeys for his Rallying Roar to be put to use, especially since he has the second shortest range, above Sauda. Other than that, solid tower. Adora: Ball of Light isn’t affected by Alc Buffs and needs to be max level for Ball of Light to be stronger. Admiral Brickell: Water tower that needs a ton of space to strengthen Monkey Sub and Buccaneers, but also for her sea mines. Etienne: Struggles with tight hordes, not affected by Alc Buffs whatsoever. Sauda: Struggles HARD with super ceramics and multi-pathed maps, unless she has buffs (Alchemist, MIB) Please note that I am NOT a BTD pro, at all. These are just observations and personal experience with them. Edit: I forgot two other weaknesses: one of Pat and the other of Ezili. Pat Fusty, just like Sauda, struggles with multi-pathed maps. Ezili’s attack speed is relatively slow, compared to other heroes and is useless in bloon hoards that aren’t regrows. (Though, I guess she’s more of a dubious support hero.)
I definitely think you should do this for tier 4's since a lot of these weaknesses don't apply to them like the price tags. Tiers 1-3 could be done as well but it might be unnecessary
People keep saying Biggest One outclasses Solver, but I just don't see it... On so so so many occasions, in fact I dare say it's more often for you to leak with biggest one kept stationary than solver. At least with solver I don't have to do annoying micro and it accomplishes the same thing without me constantly being on the edge of my seat. Someone please explain why it's better so I don't keep seeing this with glue-tinted glasses
I personally think it would've been more interesting if you covered the whole path tier 3-5 rather than just tier 5, most of these ended up being "it's too expensive" or "it's outclassed"
I find that most of the time you only talk about the upgrade itself and not the previous upgrade. Saveup is important as well, unless you're using Psi Maim Draft Paccel. For some towers like MDom, the saveup is iffy because Press is a support tower that does nothing against Bloons. However, for some towers like BEZ, their T4, BADS is amazing and usually saveups directly to BEZ with a bit of support.
Regarding MOAB Eliminator, it is not just a round 100 counter. Its main attack does 100 moab damage so it’s pretty solid against dense MOAB rounds too, the ability is really just a bonus. The comparison of MOAB Elim to First Strike and Spike Storm is illogical, they’re used for totally separate things. Regarding Sub Commander, you ALWAYS wanna spam 204 subs with it, not 203. Since it doubles sub damage, it also doubles the MOAB damage of an AP darts. It also doesn’t need a lot of water, it’s good on even Bloody Puddles CHIMPS which has hardly any water available for it. Regarding Cluster Bomb spam, yeah that’s not actually a thing. It’s a pretty silly strategy and realistically you never use it over maulers. Regarding Sentry Champion, the explosions really do not matter. If I were to give it a weakness, I’d say that it relies a ton on buffs. Since stuff like jungle drums and call to arms basically double stack on it, they’re super good combos with it but without those specific supports, it’s pretty damn weak. Regarding Monkeyopolis, it really doesn’t need much space. Even if you sac a single BRF to it, it can turn a profit. With 2 BRFs and higher, it gets insane. Reason being it essentially doubles the income per round of all the factories sacrificed to it, which means insane value. A better weakness would be that it’s so expensive to set up, you realistically only use it for bosses and freeplay (even though I’d argue freeplay isn’t a valid point of balance but that’s different)
I mean, MOAB Elim, First Strike and Spike Storm are all towers with an activated ability which specializes at MOAB damage, so I can see the comparison being made
The 100 damage is nice, but if you are getting it for its attack damage then you should be spending that money on more moab maulers (especially if you have a PE up and running)
Alright I can’t argue against the fact that it’s better to use maulers, but even though mauler spam is better than an elim’s main attack, that still doesn’t mean that it isn’t a good main attack
Every monkey has a weakness, except for 0-0-0 dart monkey of course. Chimps would be impossible without the trio ;) Also would love to see a hero version, I wonder what Quincey’s would be 🤔
@@Hbomb Bomb shooter isn't much of a mode tower but a situational tower. 5-0-0 is excellent for stalling bloons and MOAB class, but falls out of usage in bosses. 0-5-0 is good at damaging the Moab classes but honestly a 0-3-0 spam is probably more efficient as 0-4-0 and 0-5-0 focus on the ability more, but over all it's decent for the extra damage. 0-0-5 is good at area control with it's frag bombs, and speeding it up with buffs will only make it even more of an area control procing the fragged frag bombs in incredible speed. The passive however is only reliable in modes you got more than 1 life, thud making it better to just stay at 0-0-4 in Impoppable and CHIMPS
5:38, I love how he says the Ray of doom does bad against fortified DDT’s but then shows footage of it demolishing multiple of them by itself with ease lol
I can think of a niche weakness of the perma charge: in super late free play rounds, its dps isn't high enough and on mobile I reccomend only the vtsg, hero, paragons, mad, and anything to buff towers or stall and debuff bloons because more towers and projectiles causes lag. Also, it needs a village, decamoization, or activating its ability while having unlocked a certain monkey knowledge to see camo I believe.
Looking back now with the bloon solver being massively buffed, the bit showing what it did to bloons is crazy, since now it could absolutely destroy all those ceramics in less then a second
I very much appreciate the effort Ninja Kiwi puts into BTD6 balance patches. The teams' explanations for every tower changed per major update demonstrate their sheer attention to detail. Video games are difficult to balance and especially rebalance post-launch. Perfect statistical balance is **not** the ultimate goal, and gamers are generally more sensitive to nerfs than buffs (or lost aversion). Fun/Player enjoyment is also an important factor which does overlap with the viability of one option over another. In the case of Bloons TD 6, not every tower is meant to be equally effective in every game mode. If they were, I believe that would either make each mode less interesting (i.e: more boring) or overcomplicate things. * I proposed giving all heroes excluding Benjamin special bonuses whenever a Boss Bloon is alive, because Ben is by-far the most useful hero for such events. What if the 'direct-attacking' heroes deal bonus boss damage that scales with their level, while Psi destroys bloons faster? * Some towers that normally give bonus income could be buffed in other ways for CHIMPS exclusively. ...
Catagories for for each t5 tower and the example for each: 1. Overpriced (True/Vengful Sun God) 2. Outclassed/Unreliable (Super Glue) 3. Has its own Upsides and downsides (M.A.D kills MOAB class Bloons, but sucks against normal bloons) 4. Chimps and Impoppable limits their full potential (Elite Defender and Bomb Blitz need to lose a life for their abilities to work or anything that's soul purpose is for cash) 5. Relies on other towers TO buff/assist (Permabrew/Villages) 6. Relies on other towers FOR buffs/debuffs (Grandmaster/Avatar of Wrath)
Blooncineration's weakness is the same as middle path Heli. It's a support tower until tier 5 so it needs the right towers to make up for its mediocre damage.
I think that Boomer is overall best-balanced monkey in the game. Not the strongest insta-chimps win, but the price to popping power and all paths comes with specialized purposes. All of it's T4 upgrades are super affordable and T5 are also affordable and won't have any horrible no-no crosspaths. Even tho 0-5-2 is often a bit odd, it needs only camo detection to pop DDT and better against single target blimps. On top of everything, paragon combines all the best features.
This is very off topic, but there is some scrapped content in BMC Flash, that suggested the game was meant to be a *lot* bigger. One thing in perticular were the "portal fragments", which could suggest, that that the game was going to have even MORE lore related content than now. Maybe we should look into this a bit deeper?
8:24 also spike storm neuters bloon economy boosting setups (ie rubber to gold alch + traps) to a standstill, while being super useful vs lych it can fuck you over if you over rely on it (if only you could turn off its automatic spike storm ability)

However, for some towers like BEZ, their T4, BADS is amazing and usually saveups directly to BEZ with a bit of support.
Can you reply with that same comment but without the acronyms lol I don't know what a damn bez is but I would love to know how it goes with a bads
@@GrimmReaperRL Late but here you go:
Psi = the hero Psi
Maim = Maim Moab (Sniper)
Draft = Downdraft (Heli)
Paccel = Plasma Accelarator (Dartling)
MDom = Moab Domination (Boomerang)
Press = Moab Press (Boomerang)
BEZ = Bloon Exclusion Zone (Dartling)
BADS = Bloon Area Denial System (Dartling)
Ezili’s life sacrifice ability can help with some of the towers that require a life to be lost (except on chimps and impoppable)
Regarding MOAB Eliminator, it is not just a round 100 counter. Its main attack does 100 moab damage so it’s pretty solid against dense MOAB rounds too, the ability is really just a bonus. The comparison of MOAB Elim to First Strike and Spike Storm is illogical, they’re used for totally separate things.
Regarding Sub Commander, you ALWAYS wanna spam 204 subs with it, not 203. Since it doubles sub damage, it also doubles the MOAB damage of an AP darts. It also doesn’t need a lot of water, it’s good on even Bloody Puddles CHIMPS which has hardly any water available for it.
Regarding Cluster Bomb spam, yeah that’s not actually a thing. It’s a pretty silly strategy and realistically you never use it over maulers.
Regarding Sentry Champion, the explosions really do not matter. If I were to give it a weakness, I’d say that it relies a ton on buffs. Since stuff like jungle drums and call to arms basically double stack on it, they’re super good combos with it but without those specific supports, it’s pretty damn weak.
Regarding Monkeyopolis, it really doesn’t need much space. Even if you sac a single BRF to it, it can turn a profit. With 2 BRFs and higher, it gets insane. Reason being it essentially doubles the income per round of all the factories sacrificed to it, which means insane value. A better weakness would be that it’s so expensive to set up, you realistically only use it for bosses and freeplay (even though I’d argue freeplay isn’t a valid point of balance but that’s different)
I mean, MOAB Elim, First Strike and Spike Storm are all towers with an activated ability which specializes at MOAB damage, so I can see the comparison being made
yeah I could see where that comes from, but it’s a shame that so many people ignore its main attack which is what sets it apart
The 100 damage is nice, but if you are getting it for its attack damage then you should be spending that money on more moab maulers (especially if you have a PE up and running)
Alright I can’t argue against the fact that it’s better to use maulers, but even though mauler spam is better than an elim’s main attack, that still doesn’t mean that it isn’t a good main attack
Love these videos! Keep up the content Hbomb!
Thanks, will do!
Every monkey has a weakness, except for 0-0-0 dart monkey of course. Chimps would be impossible without the trio ;)
Also would love to see a hero version, I wonder what Quincey’s would be 🤔
The almighty yellow bloon.
@@end4567 Are you kidding me? Nothing gets past his bow.
Hi my name is Quincy and I am stupid and suck at this game
“the bloon exclusion zone, like other mortar monkeys”
Also which 5th tier bomb shooter is the best again?
Great question... idk. Depends on the game mode I suppose
@@Hbomb ok then which one is the best on c.h.i.m.p.s mode then?
@@Hbomb Bomb shooter isn't much of a mode tower but a situational tower.
5-0-0 is excellent for stalling bloons and MOAB class, but falls out of usage in bosses.
0-5-0 is good at damaging the Moab classes but honestly a 0-3-0 spam is probably more efficient as 0-4-0 and 0-5-0 focus on the ability more, but over all it's decent for the extra damage.
0-0-5 is good at area control with it's frag bombs, and speeding it up with buffs will only make it even more of an area control procing the fragged frag bombs in incredible speed. The passive however is only reliable in modes you got more than 1 life, thud making it better to just stay at 0-0-4 in Impoppable and CHIMPS
Take a shot every time he says "doesn't generate extra money in CHIMPS"
Oof, you'd black out
LESSSGOOOO!! MY BOY PERMA CHARGE OPPPP
Facts
Boomerang ftw!!
@@Hbomb Btw, Rating Monkey by their looks tier list when? Or does it even exist?
my favourite video by far
also plz make longer videos like this. I enjoy watching longer videos
Thanks! I will stop forcing videos to be shorter, but I don't want to fill them with fluff. So it'll depend on how much each idea deserves
4:08 ah yes, moust
5:38, I love how he says the Ray of doom does bad against fortified DDT’s but then shows footage of it demolishing multiple of them by itself with ease lol
5:40 ahh yes anythign lol
4:15 "If I have this money to escape a sticky situation, why don't I use the money to prevent a sticky situation?!"

so every tower weakness is it price
The perma charge's weakness is that it has no weakness. Jack of all trades, master of none.
Exactly
It kinda falls off lategame and needs buffs to keep up with round 90 - 100. On its own it isn't that great
I can think of a niche weakness of the perma charge: in super late free play rounds, its dps isn't high enough and on mobile I reccomend only the vtsg, hero, paragons, mad, and anything to buff towers or stall and debuff bloons because more towers and projectiles causes lag. Also, it needs a village, decamoization, or activating its ability while having unlocked a certain monkey knowledge to see camo I believe.
Yes, but a lot of towers can't see camo and you're usually going to get a camo village but I guess in certain situations that's not possible
Those are good points, especially since it needs camo for DDTs
XXXL Trap + superstorm is a spicy farming strategy :)
About the shower thoughts:
Yes I do
Let's goooo
Looking back now with the bloon solver being massively buffed, the bit showing what it did to bloons is crazy, since now it could absolutely destroy all those ceramics in less then a second
Big plane 4:20
Big Plane is OP
I very much appreciate the effort Ninja Kiwi puts into BTD6 balance patches. The teams' explanations for every tower changed per major update demonstrate their sheer attention to detail.
Video games are difficult to balance and especially rebalance post-launch. Perfect statistical balance is **not** the ultimate goal, and gamers are generally more sensitive to nerfs than buffs (or lost aversion). Fun/Player enjoyment is also an important factor which does overlap with the viability of one option over another.
In the case of Bloons TD 6, not every tower is meant to be equally effective in every game mode. If they were, I believe that would either make each mode less interesting (i.e: more boring) or overcomplicate things.
* I proposed giving all heroes excluding Benjamin special bonuses whenever a Boss Bloon is alive, because Ben is by-far the most useful hero for such events. What if the 'direct-attacking' heroes deal bonus boss damage that scales with their level, while Psi destroys bloons faster?
* Some towers that normally give bonus income could be buffed in other ways for CHIMPS exclusively.
...
Yes, they did do a good job. And I'm all for boss balancing

was that a NUNS4 sound effect towards the end? a man of culture
Catagories for for each t5 tower and the example for each:
1. Overpriced (True/Vengful Sun God)
2. Outclassed/Unreliable (Super Glue)
3. Has its own Upsides and downsides (M.A.D kills MOAB class Bloons, but sucks against normal bloons)
4. Chimps and Impoppable limits their full potential (Elite Defender and Bomb Blitz need to lose a life for their abilities to work or anything that's soul purpose is for cash)
5. Relies on other towers TO buff/assist (Permabrew/Villages)
6. Relies on other towers FOR buffs/debuffs (Grandmaster/Avatar of Wrath)

Thanks!

No problem!
Hbomb:Well that was every monkies weakness!11! :000 dart monkey: pathetic
This video was great I would love to see a similar video to this about all the heros
the only real weakness of vfsg is having no camo detection
Just make it a 5-0-2 for that ultra vision ;)
Yea it doesn't cost almost 1m and is only decent in lategame and boss events
very nice and informative! I don't wanna sound like a bot but keep up the good work! (also your voice is satisfying idk why)
5:45 Ah yes, the bloon exclusion zone is my favourite mortar t5
Perfect Commentary + I like your SteelSeries Arctic Pro Wireless Headphones
A long video from my boy? That’s rare but appreciated 👍🏽
You know it! The rare long one
Blooncineration's weakness is the same as middle path Heli. It's a support tower until tier 5 so it needs the right towers to make up for its mediocre damage.
I think that Boomer is overall best-balanced monkey in the game. Not the strongest insta-chimps win, but the price to popping power and all paths comes with specialized purposes. All of it's T4 upgrades are super affordable and T5 are also affordable and won't have any horrible no-no crosspaths. Even tho 0-5-2 is often a bit odd, it needs only camo detection to pop DDT and better against single target blimps. On top of everything, paragon combines all the best features.
This is very off topic, but there is some scrapped content in BMC Flash, that suggested the game was meant to be a *lot* bigger. One thing in perticular were the "portal fragments", which could suggest, that that the game was going to have even MORE lore related content than now.
Maybe we should look into this a bit deeper?
Yo Hbomb kinda good looking
I see the effort you put into this. Really good video :)
8:24 also spike storm neuters bloon economy boosting setups (ie rubber to gold alch + traps) to a standstill, while being super useful vs lych it can fuck you over if you over rely on it (if only you could turn off its automatic spike storm ability)
I love how you say chimps rounds like everyone does chimps only
Stay away from my druid.
Several towers have gotten significant buffs since this video came out.
the hero weaknesses video be like
Quincy: stuff gets past his bow
For bloon solver, getting outclassed by the biggest one is not a weakness, it is simply just getting outclassed
Great vid. Surprised by the uses of a few towers i mostly don't use.

Ah yes, BEZ is my favorite Mortar monkey path
Lol
Hi Hbomb
hey thanks alot! this video taught me how to better utilise these towers! I am recently new to the game and this really helped me best chimps and bosses!
you have to make a video for every crosspath now lmao
Him: *Every tower has a weakness.*
Also him 50 seconds later: *Perma charge doesn’t have a weakness*
the weakness is that it doesn't have a specific strength, it's just an all-around good tower
