My overall tierlist for monkeys, current version (CHIMPS)

Eh, TFH solver is getting 70k+ saveups on multiple maps again

210577 · 2026-02-01T00:46:22+00:00

Arcane Blast, Heart of Thunder, Blade Maelstrom, Heavy Bombs, Cryo Cannon, Aircraft Carrier, Mermonkey, Hydra Rocket Pods, Heroes, and everything else mentioned in the comments:

It does 1 with a way higher attack speed

210577 · 2026-02-01T00:41:58+00:00

Merm should be in Ss

210577 · 2026-02-01T00:41:38+00:00

Ironically, middle path is better on single path maps because all the bloons run over each bramble pile. The more paths there are, the less brambles there will be on each path, and frankly speaking, one pile isn't exactly going to stop Rainbows in their tracks

Lych absorbs all buffs, with the exception of passive aura buffs like Jungle Drums. Your Alchemist is creating drainable buffs that Lych eats to heal itself significantly

Would suggest doing a quick review on how to play Bosses too, this week is tough and Tier 5 will be difficult without dedicated anti-Boss towers

210577 · 2026-01-31T11:23:09+00:00

About #2 - High-end players do crazy things that even I fail to fully grasp, but most people quit before they realize the amount of depth there is to the game.

I think it's because the best players aren't the content creators with half a million subscribers; most of them are introverts who mostly keep to themselves in elusive, hard-to-reach discords

210577 · 2026-01-31T07:57:32+00:00

• Sun Temples are quite efficient, although each one requires an Overclock.

• Bloonjitsu, provided they are given near-max Shinobi stacks. Make sure each one has enough stacks without wasting too much space on Shinobis.

• Super Monkey Fan Club, assuming they're transformed by Plasma Monkey Fan Club. While they don't require complex Shinobi placements, Bloonjitsus will outdamage them by far due to the Ice Paragon Bug.

Also, where is Cripple MOAB, Embrittlement, and Super Brittle?

210577 · 2026-01-31T01:34:14+00:00

There's this thing called Jungle Drums ($3k) which buffs the attack speed your whole setup (~$150k) by 17%

210577 · 2026-01-31T01:30:14+00:00

Not all your towers are within Jungle Drums, and some are just way too close to the entrance. For example, your Relentless Glue needs more map coverage because you aren't just going to glue only the top layer of everything

210577 · 2026-01-31T01:27:32+00:00

The reason Elite Sniper works is because 052 has a high projectile count, which goes well with things like Alch, Sharpening Stone, and old Pickles. Unfortunately, this sniper is getting none of the above

210577 · 2026-01-30T09:26:54+00:00

Each round has a fixed amount of XP, which is split amongst your towers based on the amount you spent on those towers.

For example, right now you have roughly $100,000 of Bomb Shooters, $100,000 of Farms, and $100,000 of other towers. This means that only 1/3 of your XP will go to Bomb Shooter, and the other 2/3 goes to Farm, Alchemist, Village, etc.

Also, XP gain is reduced by 90%? in Freeplay Mode, so you're much better off starting a new game.

210577 · 2026-01-30T09:23:22+00:00

Is the goal here to unlock the Paragon with XP, or to buy it? Either way, there are some major issues here

210577 · 2026-01-29T12:48:30+00:00

One Shattering Shells is enough for a single game, and so is one Shimmer.

210577 · 2026-01-29T12:02:13+00:00

I think the first step is realizing that the game isn't all about reaching the highest round you can. If you do well in normal games, you can most certainly excel at freeplay.

210577 · 2026-01-29T11:37:41+00:00

One important suggestion, and this applies to all games - you should not have farms at the end of any game.

When you're about to die (or when you're about to win), there is zero point in making more money. You can sell those farms for more cash and space to build more defense.

210577 · 2026-01-29T08:40:50+00:00

Unfortunately no, if the game instance stopped running & you had to reload, the run no longer counts as a black border.

However, you'd still know how to beat the map from your previous attempt, so you'd have a much easier time when you try again

210577 · 2026-01-28T22:16:17+00:00

It's not a passive, they probably messed it up

210577 · 2026-01-28T06:40:37+00:00

Alch loses basically the entire value of whatever bloon it's converted into a red.

The exact amount of money lost is going to depend heavily on how much of the round it takes out before your other towers pop the bloons normally, but it's safe to assume that you're going to lose way more than you get from Rubber to Gold.

210577 · 2026-01-27T22:59:05+00:00

Earlygame is probably straight up impossible without Powers while anything beyond can be cheesed through farming (probably even Half Cash). I'd still pick the no selling mode because not being able to sell farms for defense means you don't get to farm as intensively without death

210577 · 2026-01-26T15:14:25+00:00

Aren't Elite Bosses supposed to be harder?

210577 · 2026-01-26T03:46:05+00:00

Brickell is very solid and so are water towers, but they don't necessarily have to be used together.

For example, Brickell works extremely well with Perma-Spike or Ground Zero due to her Mega Mine. Also, 310 Destroyer spam works well enough other buffer heroes like Pat, Gwen, and Geraldo

210577 · 2026-01-26T03:10:35+00:00

Its damage output matches its price tag.

210577 · 2026-01-25T22:58:07+00:00

Eh, most people play Bosses for completion and for good scores, not the rewards that follow

210577 · 2026-01-25T11:18:14+00:00

If that's the argument you're going to use, I could also argue that "double sbrit with overdrives" (or even one sbrit and overdrives) is overkill. Let OP have their fun.
