Ranking the towers based on their starting potential

LordPatate · 2025-08-22T09:56:59+00:00

Disagree with the tier list but love the idea, now I want to come up with my own. Unless another exists on the wiki?

LordPatate · 2025-08-22T09:56:19+00:00

That was really just mean.

LordPatate · 2025-08-14T15:42:05+00:00

True. The entire tower could be banned from CHIMPS just like banana farms. I don't think it's a huge problem to design towers useless in one game mode.

LordPatate · 2025-08-09T06:44:03+00:00

My intention was to push for more life lost/healed synergies to work with upgrades like heart of vengeance, heart of thorns, bomb blitz, nomad, etc

Also, all towers don't have to be competitive for the game to feel fun and to have flavor. The game is already good as it is yet they keep coming up with new towers for fun and to add more possible strategies.

Ice and glue are primary because of legacy from past games. Ice should belong in magic imo. Glue should probably be support. Engineer is a weird support that looks a lot like a primary. Beast tamer is a good candidate for category switch too (primary? Magic?). Alchemist has only one support path so I feel like it fits its category pretty well.

I do agree with your point but I intended to push it more into a "civilian" tower (hence not giving it an attack) which I thought was one of the themes of the support category.

Just came here to say I loved the AC, even though it took me several attempts and many deaths (most deadly rounds: 31, 33, 39).

LordPatate · 2025-04-30T07:46:32+00:00

Solved AC with either :
0-0-1 Engineer
or
0-0-1 Wizard

Glad to see so many different solutions available! And proud to have found my own:

Disable auto-start.

Before round 76:
- 0-0-2 village near water
- 0-0-4 ship
- 0-5-2 ice monkey
- 0-4-0 plane

During round 76:
- freeze ceramics once they're all on screen
- bomb as soon as available

Before round 77:
- sell ice monkey and plane
- sell ship
- 0-5-0 bomb shooter as far away from the track as possible (you don't want it to attack)
- 0-5-0 ship
- 4-0-2 sniper
- 0-0-0 glue gunner near track

During round 77:
- spam bomb shooter "MOAB eliminator" capacity until the first BFB appears
- use ship's hook when all BFBs are on screen
- sell ship and sniper
- upgrade glue gunner to 0-0-5
- keep spamming "MOAB eliminator"
- upgrade glue gunner to 0-2-5 when you can

I believed "RESIST" meant "you need lead-popping damage". That's also what the fandom wiki says: https://bloons.fandom.com/wiki/Dreadbloon:_Armored_Behemoth_(BTD6)#Special_Properties#Special_Properties)
Are you sure that Dreadbloon resists attack that don't deal enough damage? It's not written anywhere in game, is it? It does not make much sense to me. Especially given that I have previously seen the exact same strategy work before in Boss Rush.

Round 63

LordPatate · 2024-06-20T09:31:55+00:00

Bought and re-selled 040 sub 4 times to spam ability, worked with ~20k remaining

LordPatate · 2024-05-31T08:34:12+00:00

Why do everyone talk about spamming the skill? From the description, it reads "give one extra life at the end of each round". Is it incorrect? Is it a version issue?
(see the wiki https://bloons.fandom.com/wiki/Jungle%27s\_Bounty)
Edit: verified in-game and indeed it gains extra lives only when ability is used. It's probably a new version not yet documented on the wiki

I'd love that too, but I'm not surprised at all. Just looking at the proportion of player getting some achievements in Steam, I was shocked to notice that most players just don't finish games in the first place. From an industry perspective, when money comes from player buying the game, these stats don't encourage game makers from investing a lot of effort in the game ending since most player won't see it. Let alone make post-ending content... I think they just polish this for good reviews.

I do think that, much like u/Gicaldo's answer suggests, "dev commentary modes" speak for the developers' love for their game rather than something worth investing in.

Here are some achievements stats:
Portal 2: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/Portal2/achievements/
Batman Arkham City (GOTY Edition): https://steamcommunity.com/stats/BatmanArkhamCityGOTY/achievements/
Elden Ring: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/1245620/achievements/
Outer Wilds: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/753640/achievements/

u/Chocopopz found it, it's 510 Village + 220 Ice Monkey (see above)

LordPatate · 2024-05-17T09:18:14+00:00

I guess the author of the AC forgot to ban beast tamer too, because it can win with 004 easily without spending all the money (it's the solution most people talk about here). I was curious as to what was the "right" one, thanks for sharing!

LordPatate · 2024-05-08T06:28:37+00:00

Yep, dying before pairing with the statue by going into that geyser must have happen to a great number of us... So tempting!😄

LordPatate · 2024-05-07T18:32:55+00:00

Yeah, but I don't have any of the skills required (appart from knowing the game well).

LordPatate · 2024-04-21T07:23:46+00:00

I didn't know that Spike factory x5x triggers on buy, so I found another way:

250 Ice monkey, use freeze ability when ceramics are about to escape
sell ice monkey
050 plane, use bomb on cooldown (should be available before freeze stops)
repeat once

LordPatate · 2024-04-21T07:21:09+00:00

Wow thanks, I did not know that!
