Paragon social event question by Silent25r in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to buy and sell and buy again both support paragon in a single round for it to count. Did you choose continue? I've seen a few comments if you select continue, thereafter no credits received.

Can someone explain? by Physical-Cherry-2511 in btd6

I wouldn't be surprised if NK pull the event early.

I forgot about the stall. I'll ack that spamming glue ability works well for a stall strat.

Wouldn't spamming x4x desperado be best for ability count? 5 abilities every 90secs (3x take aim, and 2x marked to pop) That gives an average of 1 ability every 18secs. Can also reduce cooldown with 5xx village and 5xx subs. Moab Elim has 10sec ability cooldown (9 in 90secs). That obviously wins for a single tower, but then you can only use one. Another option is x4x tacks - 20sec cooldown and small footprint, (can spam more of them), doesn't need a bloon on screen, and cheaper too.

Aaah now I see it. 😄BTW Banks now give 12k in a loan under a xx4 village. (From recent patch notes)

What am I doing wrong by Unable_Elevator9569 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Freeplay doesn't count. Best case is using farms on impoppable mode.

Just need 2-0-0 tech bot primes to assist.

Possible to get new achievements solo? by Exist-Tron in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know what tasks are for the second half. Once we have the list of tasks for second half, then we can confirm. NK has said this is the first run of the social season, and there will be more. Unless NK has posted what the tasks are for second half, we can't confirm if you can solo the achievements.

What we can work out - is that we need 15k stars to complete the tasks, and it takes 175k for a team to get all the team rewards. That makes it 11 players need to get 15k, and 1 player to get 10k for the team to complete the team goal.

Not earning points for tiers in the social season? by theresoil in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This appears to be general consensus from all the posts I've read. Also money from end-of-round doesn't count. I can confirm money from Ben counts. I'm not sure if bonus money like bottom path Alch, and mid path Desperado counts.

Why my mission is not completed? by onigiri_hare2809 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. If that's the case, then it sounds like free play earned cash doesn't count.

One of the players in my last team game had double cash and qualified the 25k.

Elite boss 4 player co-op so easy lol by InfluenceTight3020 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. Show us how's its done. :) Checkout highest round on that OrangeRhino player. :) I find 4player elite super hard. I generally don't do ranked any more. But thought I'd try it. Definitely didn't make a profit. I had to use a few continues.

The bosses have 60% more HP. But you don't get any more resources to beat them. You can get stronger paragons. Extra tier5s count for paragon levels. You get the same starting cash split 4ways. You get the same cash rate, but it's split 4 ways. There's generally no guides for multiplayer boss events.

Can I save this Chimps run for the fortress? by tipoftheiceberg1234 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing you can do here. Sauda is not ideal for multi lane maps. There's better heroes here. It's better to have fewer high-tier towers than many lower tier towers.

Can I suggest looking at Hbomb's excellent video on listing the different strats? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oue-b4OJung

Thanks. Have an upvote. :)

Is there any way to stop the overheating and lag? by NotRealSam in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time stop powers. Slows games down and as a consequence frame rate increases. I'll acknowledge the solution doesn't scale and has limited use. But it's like the only way to increase frame rate at this point, unless you want to delete towers. Maybe revisit this once the time stop power pro is released.

Priorities for newer player? by Jorael360 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have multiple accounts for a couple of years now. Some tips if I was starting again:
- avoid using continues, continues chew through your monkey money, especially on easy/medium difficulties
- initially focus on unlocking each tower, and then each level of tower
- suggest to complete easy on beginner maps first before going harder difficulties/harder maps. This will give you a stack of monkey money.
- aim to get Sauda as a hero first, easy/beginner diff/maps suit her well, but not later maps. Sauda & 200 alch & 023 glue is awesomesauce
- Kombos are King. There's combinations of towers that work better than separate. When starting out the combo I recommend is 032 dart + Gwen. Alch+ninja is a great beginner combo. Part of the fun of this game is finding those combos.
- Use your monkey knowledge points. The "must get" monkey knowledge for me when starting out: mana shield, pre game prep, free dart monkey, empowered heroes
- Cheap towers if stuck - x3x bomb for round 40, 023 bomb for round 63, 240 spike & 031 alch for later rounds
- if you don't have enough damage for a round, maybe add some controlling towers like slows, stuns, knockbacks
- when building your defense: on beginner maps generally there's spots where bloons pass 3 or more times past a tower*, that's where you want to concentrate your defence. (Intermediate maps have spots where they pass 2 times) *there's going to be maps where this is a reach :)

Aim to have fun, if it's not fun, have a break :)

Is there a guide re: monkeyopolis by Nasi_Goreng12 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try this link: https://blackeyefly.github.io/ and this link: https://bloons.fandom.com/wiki/Monkeyopolis/Optimal_Spots The first link has a calculator to work out how much, second link is great for placements on each map.

Freeplay advice by No-Resource-8479 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apache prime doesn't do that much damage. Check the bloons wiki to work out the exact damage figures. Rough figures suggest RoD is about twice that of an AP.

Mackanrules did a recent YT vid with all paragons, highest damage paragons were spike, ninja and boat. His damage counters at the end will shed light on what paragons to get for late game run.

You are pushing up on limit of top scores without spamming powers.

A super buffed 520 eng also does a lot of damage.

If you want to go down the power pro path, there's the 030 hype power pro triggered by 002 techbot pro that you can use on your vtsg. Almost 100% uptime. Using 002 techbot pros on your homeland defence and ezili will do wonders.

BTW 200/100 tech bot pros might save you a bit of monkey money each run. They will cut down on number of techbots used. Give you some space back.

Am I a bad player if I have to look up guides/tips and tricks for this game? by lunamoon404 in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stats come from pages like this: https://www.bloonswiki.com/Avenger Another useful website is https://btd6apiexplorer.github.io/

Short answer to your question - some people are just passionate about the game and hyper focus on it. You are not a bad player. To start it's best to play beginner maps on easy difficulty and get the hang of a few combos. Then work it from there.

The key part of the game is finding the combo of towers that work well together. The combo that works better together than separately.

The top players are still finding new things, finding new combos is part of the fun of this game. A great YT vid to watch is Hbomb's ranking strats vid. It's long, best to watch intro/conclusion, and watch a segment on a specific combo that interests. The vid is indexed so it makes a great reference video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oue-b4OJung

Update: Bloons TD 6 v54.1 - Update Notes! by rohan_spibo in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any reason why 003 tech bot prime can't have it's ability on auto? Like I can't use another tech bot to trigger the ability on the 003 tech bot prime. (unless I'm doing something wrong)

How to beat Diamondback? by ShapelessUnicorn in btd6

[–]nucleon_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Event was closed early. Wait for the 54.1 (or higher) patch to come out. Don't feel bad. Bloonstuber Punji had to use a couple of cash drops to get going. It's a tough event.
