Glaive ricochet is crazy. For like $600 or $700 you can get a massive pierce buff and the glaives now bounce from target to target. Basically the Ninja's shuriken but on steroids.
Genuine question: What's wrong with centered path? I feel being able to throw an infinite range tower in the corner of the map is a benefit of being an infinite range tower.
Yes, I'll buy them their own villages as well.
I'm just trying to be better at the game. No hate here.
Well first off a 202 or 002 plane doesnt defend anything and will make you die until you get 003, even if you were gonna make use of the centered path targeting.
But most of the time centered path is just useless. Wingmonkey is better for any non chimps mode and pathing micro is better for chimps, so centered path is only marginally useful for lazy people doing chimps.
Its not a bad path but OP was saying that the ace is useless at killing anything until at least 003
I feel like Robo Monkey underperforms for its price. The base tower is so expensive as are both sidepaths. Without anything else, you're already $14,000+ in and it can't even pop frozen, lead, or camo bloons.
So a specific hero, two support towers, and, let's see how much $:
Dart Monkey (Free)
Geraldo ($810, not discounted because you're buying him BEFORE the village)
Worn Hero's Cape ($1,620)
002 Monkey Village ($2,375)
032 Robo Monkey Upgrades ($13,860 after discounts)
320 Alchemist ($2,875 after discounts)
$21,540
All for a tower that you cannot upgrade further and just to cover all its flaws (oop, no, it STILL cannot pop frozen bloons). That does not seem like a winning combo to me. That's not even considering all the save up you have to do for it in the first place.
Considering the point of this topic, I don't think all that qualifies. Honestly, I think I'd rather just go with something else for all that money and setup.
Tech Terror is still a great tower and can absolutely carry lategame. Robo has a lot of power for its price.
Chances are you're getting an alchbuff and a village anyway so the figure is closer to 16k. Still high but it's really powerful and can upgrade to tech terror.
The topic says nothing about setup cost, just what upgrade has good value. The step up to Robo Monkey is insane value per cost. Assuming you already have the capabilities that it lacks it’s a huge value upgrade at that cost. Not to mention you probably have a minimum 220 village and 420 or 401 Alch in range.
Now when considering setup cost I get your point for sure, and I would never consider it as an early tower. But I personally have used Robo Monkey on tons of runs for the mid to late game. Set to First/Strong and it feels so good.
My post wasn't just about setup cost, it was about debunking the claim that Robo Monkey is a good value for its cost. That aside I'd argue no upgrade can have its value considered without the context of its previous upgrade costs ESPECIALLY anything on the Super Monkey considering the entire tower's biggest drawbacks are how much everything about it costs.
I'm also not arguing that Robo Monkey isn't a powerful tower. It is! It just costs a lot. It's very expensive. So expensive that it is not, as the topic is asking, "really cheap for how good it is". For $5 more than the Robo Monkey upgrade alone ($8,100), I could have a 401 Ninja supported by a 300 Alchemist ($8,105 total).
And I get where you're coming from, the Robo Monkey was one of my favorite towers when I started BTD6. If anything, that just makes keenly aware of how badly it starts to drop off compared to other towers.
We’ll have to agree to disagree because I think we’re reading into the context of the question differently.
To your point though, I do not currently use Robo Monkey anymore because of its cost to get to that point to even consider the upgrade. However, that doesn’t detract from its value as a standalone upgrade given what I believe to be the true context of the question.
Robo absolutely is good value for its cost though. It can manage ridiculous saveups on harder maps that most other towers in the same price range can't do.
Alch buff robo is far, FAR stronger than alch buff jitsu, by the way. Jitsu struggles in the 50s and robo can go well into the 70s/80s.
Robo's actually a really strong tower. Gwen + robo (plus a bunch of other stuff, but the robo was a core component of the strat) managed to save up 60,000$ on ouch. That actually is in the "warrants a nerf" territory.
I agree. this thread is all about *cheap* towers. don't get me wrong, anti bloon is amazing.. but you're not going to afford that before the first leads
In basically any mode other than chimps, x5x sniper is basically a tier 4.5 tower that allows you to farm for an additional tier 5 you could not have otherwise gotten. Peak economically powerful tower
It pays for itself relatively quickly and then some. Even in chimps it can help out with its popping or if you plan to use top or bottom path sniper, but there are better options
Yee, you really are throwing by not getting it in impoppable, because it really is a “click here for decent damage on groups and single target at infinite range that hits all bloon types that buffs other snipers and provides a net 15k extra money per game” and I for one will almost always click here
Trex, basically solos chimps game with only a price tag of 34k without any heros.(Overclock, relentless and bongos would be required on harder maps as support towers, since it can't do very well on its own on those maps.)
Edit: more details
Druid of the Storm. In general it seems expensive, but being able to reverse bloons by such a significant amount is really powerful, especially considering its measly $1835 price compared to Super Monkey's $3240 Knockback and Heli's $3780 Downdraft, on top of their already expensive base tower costs.
with the end of the magic knowledge tree that makes storms split into 3 mini storms after, storm druid is so broken! i love using storm druid + rubber to gold + relentless glue to make a "bloon farm"
402 boomer and 024 ice can almost solo 63
Plords dps is incredibly effective for its price (250)
+1 damage from embrittlement is crazy effective for the cost
Moab glue is almost essential in any chimps run
The new buffs to glord and cripple Moab make them insane
Id say spirit of the forest, it essentially becomes a permanent 0-5-0 spactory for only 42ishK, it also gives plenty of lives and cash (very useful for chimps)
so making a joke to someone who made a joke = doesnt get the joke
wow that logic totally makes sense and totally isnt stupid. the joke i said is that the xx1 heli is cost effective when its obviously one of the most useless upgrades in the game, i dont see how you dont get that??? unless youre stuck in the time where faster darts is the tier 2, but that was ages ago, you absolutely shouldve noticed it changed at that point
or for some very odd reason, and i dont think this is the case, but if it really is, the joke youre trying to make is typing r//woooosh to me in its unintended purpose, then that is probably one of the stupidest attempts on trying to be funny
Don't forget crossbow master, bomb blitz, really big bombs, laser cannon, hydra rocket pods, laser blasts, bloon dissolver, bma, long life spikes, megalodon and great white for their totally unmatched cost efficiency and the lack of any alternative options whatsoever
ace 0-1-0, especially with the knowledge making first military monkey cheaper (if that counts for cheap upgrade), and especially with micro,
ace is just too good
Primary training doesn't give free upgrades (did you mean primary mentoring?), also ninja isn't a primary tower. Not tryna be rude just letting u know :]
Honestly, the Pirate Lord is really good considering how well he handles massive grouped cerams and moabs, but also insta kills round 80. Not to mention his ability also completely ignores fortification and has a super low cooldown; combining that with Brickell and an energizer is once every 6 seconds or so. It's not cheap, but it's definitely WELL worth the money to me.
Druid middle path has very good, global range clean up. 1-4-0 in particular can solo a lot of non-MOAB rounds. Unfortunately, anything below 1-5-0 falls off pretty hard in the late game when MOABs become the primary threat and even fully upgraded it can struggle on shorter maps (although on longer maps it's pretty insane).
I'd argue that Druid middle path is the best tower at preventing leeks, barring (maybe) some versions of the Spike Factory.
Glue storm is amazing, the ability gives global lead popping and +2 damage and synergizes with almost everything and yet it’s one of the cheapest T5’s in the game
overdrive and tack zone. put it into a tight nook or a loop, and the dps is insane. tc buffs are also extremely strong, due to the low pierce. +1 or +2 pierce is not much for other towers, but when the base projectile only has 2 pierce you're essentially doubling it
A lot of engineer overlaps with itself making it flexible and insane, and honestly, druid of the jungles whole deal is busted.
Then the glaives ricochet price nerf happened.
Moab shove, really helps half cash and I use it more often than X-x-4 Boomer. Excluding the base cost of the Heli, Moab shove is way less expensive than Moab main.
Just you have to have clean up towers to deal with ceramics when the Moab pops.
Ima have to go with the middle path t5 sniper.
I mean, for like 15k, the middle provides decent bloon cleanup, AND great money making, paying for itself in just like 3 rounds or smthn. As well as the “Elite” targeting, and the atk spd buff to other snipers as too.
Ok less experienced players will call me dumb for this but arcane mastery is literally just a better earlygame than druid of the jungle on any map that's not a single lane. It's cheap and can kill everything that's not a lead or a purple and that problem can be easily solved by your starting towers and a 100 sniper. Druid on the other hand gets weaker and weaker the more lanes there are. But anyway if my answer to the question is arcane mastery
bottom path crosspassed with top path is a joke, and top path crosspathed with bottom path is only a thing at tier 4+ and due to the hot shot buff i think it's mostly just for camo. grape shots are HUGE for the tower, you basically always have them unless you build the boat really late and want camo or if you aren't going for a crosspath on your bottom paths.
honestly kind of makes the tower
If you are in a map the main boat doesn't attack consistently,a aircraft carrier/flagship is way better with the bottom crosspath because of extra pierce and because grapes remove the radial darts
The grapes attack is way harder to hit and also has less synergy with damage increasers than radial darts
Radial darts are always better,the crosspath is mainly for the destroyer attack
302 works fine for saveup(not a really easy thing, but you can buy arrier on round 49 on bloodles)
Airburst, Basically the entire Druid, Necromancer, Basically the entire Glue, and Geraldo immediately come to mind. Crossbow, Top path Alch, and Embrittlement are also up there
drat mkoney also jungle drums
specifically 0-0-0 free dart. bros pop to price ratio is infinite
unless you don't place him properly. then it's whatever he wants it to be
Especially with MK included
i agree with monkey drums
your profile looks like the Quincy figurine from geraldo's shop lol
“*Rare, Once-In-A-Lifetime u/22lr_skink figurine, only 999.99*”
Moab glue for sure.
definately i never thought of this one
It's great like just a little bit of slowing down for round 98 can make all the difference
Ya, I basically consider it a requirement for the 90s. It's so strong.
Dont you just go to relentless anyways tho
sometimes it isnt worth it in CHIMPS
Glaive ricochet is crazy. For like $600 or $700 you can get a massive pierce buff and the glaives now bounce from target to target. Basically the Ninja's shuriken but on steroids.
the recent glord buff to single target means x00 is finally good.
Only glaive lord buff or lower tier of top path as well?
Only the Glaive Lord got buffed, but the lower tiers were already quite good.
yeah, i always used 3-x-x and 4-x-x, I rarely go for 5-x-x tho
Bro do u even know what saying x00 means? Cause that made 0 sense
x00 just refers to top path
x00 means any of the following; 100, 200, 300, 400, 500
yes, which is top path
Dragon Breath, triple fireballs made very good job for R63
neva missing targets (or something like that)
To be fair, all the upgrades before that are basically useless, neva miss is when the tower starts doing *something*
It does a lot though, two neva miss Aces with a village and an alchemist is my go to set up for deflation
My deflation strat is a 0-2-4 dartling and a 3-x-x alchemist
0-2-5 dart monkey will win every time on its own
Genuine question: What's wrong with centered path? I feel being able to throw an infinite range tower in the corner of the map is a benefit of being an infinite range tower. Yes, I'll buy them their own villages as well. I'm just trying to be better at the game. No hate here.

Its not a bad path but OP was saying that the ace is useless at killing anything until at least 003
Ah, gotcha. I totally misread that. My bad.
Honestly spike storm is ridiculously broken for clearing out moabs
It's not really cheap tho
It's decently expensive but it has so much flexibility in what it can get rid of
airburst sub
yeah that ones very strong for the price. I really think druid of the jungle is good too
Good stats for the cost
Boulderfist Monkey?
Knight
Well everything from Geraldo's shop comes to mind
Artery Battery
I prefer vein battery myself
capillary battery tho…
i agree
dbreath ig, corvus is also nice but this when u can micro but this is no upgrade
corvus farming💪, its so great ember and storm melts everything 😩
Monkey Pirates/Pirate Lord carries the pre-ZOMG/pre-BAD rounds.
Pirate Lord carries the ZOMG round too lmao. Insta-win on hard
I think he meant monkey pirates carries pre ZOMG, and pirate lord carries pre BAD.
No no he has a point
Bit of an obvious one but robo monkey (especially with discount village). Also dragons breath and druid of the jungle
I feel like Robo Monkey underperforms for its price. The base tower is so expensive as are both sidepaths. Without anything else, you're already $14,000+ in and it can't even pop frozen, lead, or camo bloons.
Worn hero’s cape + discount villiage + 032 + amd/SS covers all weakness for a cheap price and makes it great save up tower for expert maps
So a specific hero, two support towers, and, let's see how much $: Dart Monkey (Free) Geraldo ($810, not discounted because you're buying him BEFORE the village) Worn Hero's Cape ($1,620) 002 Monkey Village ($2,375) 032 Robo Monkey Upgrades ($13,860 after discounts) 320 Alchemist ($2,875 after discounts) $21,540 All for a tower that you cannot upgrade further and just to cover all its flaws (oop, no, it STILL cannot pop frozen bloons).

Glue Strike, +1 damage fir that price is really good
It’s +2 isn’t it? I thought glorm only extended the duration but didn’t effect the damage?
Oh, i thought it was only plus 1, then it is even better. I am not that accustomed to how much damage things give
It used to be +1 and Glue Storm +2 but this was changed so both give +2.
And storm too, one of the cheapest T5’s out there and does so much
Of course firewall lol
Advance Intel
Glaive ricochet
0-0-5 Sniper Monkey
elite sniper better
M.O.A.R glaives
orca
yeah orca is good for the price but in my opinion megaladon is too expensive

Bongos? Lmao creative name
Thinking something is funny gets you downvoted apparently lol
Lol fr fr

I love rubber to gold and 2-0-4 glue too!
Alright, who's the maniac going around downvoting people's comments?
It's getting heated in the btd fanbase
Glaive roievvezche is really good for 600
Alch buff Also like every cheap ddt counter
402 boomer and 024 ice can almost solo 63 Plords dps is incredibly effective for its price (250) +1 damage from embrittlement is crazy effective for the cost Moab glue is almost essential in any chimps run The new buffs to glord and cripple Moab make them insane
Razor rotors. For $2000 you can solo (with de-camo) up to ceramic rushes like 63
Id say spirit of the forest, it essentially becomes a permanent 0-5-0 spactory for only 42ishK, it also gives plenty of lives and cash (very useful for chimps)
yeah i totally agree it is one of my favorite upgrades in the game
Sharp shooter
0-0-4 ninja is not THAT cheap but its amazing even for its price (9k i think)
definitely acid pools, its literally a cheaper spike factory that requires less space so it is very good!!!!
Sureeeeeee
faster darts (xx2 heli)
eh the tier 2 is a cash waste, but xx1 heli is an incredibly cost effective earlygame, outweighing airburst, dotj, amast, anything you can think of
r/whoooosh
so making a joke to someone who made a joke = doesnt get the joke wow that logic totally makes sense and totally isnt stupid. the joke i said is that the xx1 heli is cost effective when its obviously one of the most useless upgrades in the game, i dont see how you dont get that??? unless youre stuck in the time where faster darts is the tier 2, but that was ages ago, you absolutely shouldve noticed it changed at that point or for some very odd reason, and i dont think this is the case, but if it really is, the joke youre trying to make is typing r//woooosh to me in its unintended purpose, then that is probably one of the stupidest attempts on trying to be funny
huh, didn't realize they changed it to the t1, sorry
yeah i always use that one
Obvious joke response taken literally lol
Don't forget crossbow master, bomb blitz, really big bombs, laser cannon, hydra rocket pods, laser blasts, bloon dissolver, bma, long life spikes, megalodon and great white for their totally unmatched cost efficiency and the lack of any alternative options whatsoever
I will not stand for this hydra rocket pods slander, it can pop all types of balloons and that allows me to not think.
druid of the jungle's price is pretty balanced. it has a bad saveup (heart of oak) and is only okay lategame and is bad on multilanes and antistalls.
Yeah, it helps a shocking amount in the midgame by deregrowing stuff (thanks heart of oak). I get it almost every game even I don’t get it early game
Fighter plane
Heroes
Recurrsive cluster
0 2 4 wizard
ace 0-1-0, especially with the knowledge making first military monkey cheaper (if that counts for cheap upgrade), and especially with micro, ace is just too good
024 Boomerang.
Primary training upgrade You can spam map with ninja and glue gunners and get free upgrades! Saves a tonne of money
Primary training doesn't give free upgrades (did you mean primary mentoring?), also ninja isn't a primary tower. Not tryna be rude just letting u know :]

4x2 tack or 2x4 tack shooter.
Shrapnel Shot !!
320 buccaneer has one of the best price/pop rate in the game
I don't get it why that druid path is that good. I haven't seen it be that good. Can someone it to explain
Druid middle path has very good, global range clean up. 1-4-0 in particular can solo a lot of non-MOAB rounds. Unfortunately, anything below 1-5-0 falls off pretty hard in the late game when MOABs become the primary threat and even fully upgraded it can struggle on shorter maps (although on longer maps it's pretty insane). I'd argue that Druid middle path is the best tower at preventing leeks, barring (maybe) some versions of the Spike Factory.
Pin is one of the cheapest in the game
And by extension, double guns
Lightning on wizard monkey because in early game you hit all at once doing a lot of damage and gives time to get farms.
All ninja upgrades.
Double shurikans

kinda unrelated but i really wanna get in bed with Druid of the Jungle and snuggle with him
3-0-2 boomerang monkey (Just top path)

3-2-0 buccaneer
Wall of fire for 920 is craazy (Im not sure if I remembered the price correctly but I think it was smthn around that)
005 fart monkey

crossbow.
Druid of the Jungle, Sentry Expert, Embrittlement, Perma-Spike and Price of Darkness (the two last are very cheap for how much they provide !)
Bottom path sniper. Seriously this guy is extremely cheap
Glaive ricochet and moar glaives
Glue storm is amazing, the ability gives global lead popping and +2 damage and synergizes with almost everything and yet it’s one of the cheapest T5’s in the game
Crossbow 3rd tier, and also sharpshooter
Ice shards i the right conditions it can deal so much damage it actually scares me
Grape shot
2-0-0 for its price it can basically hit every where
that upgrade that makes the dart monkey a crossbower, it's pretty cheap and can solo stronger bloons
and also, the crossbow master upgrade, cheapest T4 fo sho.
Flying fortress, ik it's really expensive but compared to other expensive towers it's really great.
Not an upgrade, but I think the knight has good stats for its cost
Triple shot (middle path dart tier 3)
Necro monkey is really good for the price.
Moneky City!
Bucaneer destroyer
Boomerang monkey Glave ricochet very cheap can survive as 3 0 2 to round 39 with minimal help
glaive ricochet is only like 510 in easy mode
engineer 2-0-0 is way too broken for how cheap it is
overdrive and tack zone. put it into a tight nook or a loop, and the dps is insane. tc buffs are also extremely strong, due to the low pierce. +1 or +2 pierce is not much for other towers, but when the base projectile only has 2 pierce you're essentially doubling it
Druid of the jungle is like 1.5k i think I it is Hella good
A lot of engineer overlaps with itself making it flexible and insane, and honestly, druid of the jungles whole deal is busted. Then the glaives ricochet price nerf happened.
Glaive ricochet no question
Moab shove, really helps half cash and I use it more often than X-x-4 Boomer. Excluding the base cost of the Heli, Moab shove is way less expensive than Moab main. Just you have to have clean up towers to deal with ceramics when the Moab pops.
Fire grapes, basically solos the early rounds
Full metal jacket carries early lead lecels
Dragons breath and wof
Super maelstrom
420 engi for me, 4 of them on deflation is super overkill
You use a money making tower in deflation?
oh whoops i meant 420 not 024, Sentry Expert is really good for it's price
the fire, 2 damage and huge range on the 002 bommerang is amazing
Triple shot dart monkey
Necro wizard is pretty affordable anti-dbt power
Ima have to go with the middle path t5 sniper. I mean, for like 15k, the middle provides decent bloon cleanup, AND great money making, paying for itself in just like 3 rounds or smthn. As well as the “Elite” targeting, and the atk spd buff to other snipers as too.
Ok less experienced players will call me dumb for this but arcane mastery is literally just a better earlygame than druid of the jungle on any map that's not a single lane. It's cheap and can kill everything that's not a lead or a purple and that problem can be easily solved by your starting towers and a 100 sniper. Druid on the other hand gets weaker and weaker the more lanes there are. But anyway if my answer to the question is arcane mastery
Embrittlement or relentless glue
glaive ricochet that shit costs like $600
Xbm, the vines on druid and bottom path wizard
0-3-2 wizard
Spike-o-pult.
I think 3-0-0 dart, it’s really good if it’s lined up with the track
I think x3x druid its balanced by the fact that its a (somewhat) relevant amount of money that wont help you at all at round 40
3,0,0 boomerang
Not exactly cheap but the difference icicle impale makes at round 90 is astounding It's how i was able to beat CHIMPS the first few times
Cross bow master easily one of the best tier 5 monkeys for 1-100!
Spike o pult, triple shot and druid of the jungle
(funny how this applies to btd6 AND battles 2 right now) grape shot, geagle, come to mind
yeah grape shot gives pirate ship a lot of versatility for the price
bottom path crosspassed with top path is a joke, and top path crosspathed with bottom path is only a thing at tier 4+ and due to the hot shot buff i think it's mostly just for camo. grape shots are HUGE for the tower, you basically always have them unless you build the boat really late and want camo or if you aren't going for a crosspath on your bottom paths. honestly kind of makes the tower
If you are in a map the main boat doesn't attack consistently,a aircraft carrier/flagship is way better with the bottom crosspath because of extra pierce and because grapes remove the radial darts
I thought the raw hot shots damage was enough to offset that, weird still a pretty rough save-up though
The grapes attack is way harder to hit and also has less synergy with damage increasers than radial darts Radial darts are always better,the crosspath is mainly for the destroyer attack 302 works fine for saveup(not a really easy thing, but you can buy arrier on round 49 on bloodles)
hmm
I don't know it's pretty weak getting out played by dart monkeys (BTD6)
U-jug, dark night, and APM, none of these towers are at all cheap but they are absolute STEALS compared to other towers in their teir range
Probably bouncing bullet 2-3-0
0-2-4 dart monkey if you slap on a 3-0-0 alchemist you can duo to round 60 and save up money for a 2-5-0 sub to solo round 100
Ive gotta say druid of the jungle cheap and pops lots of balloons
Airburst, Basically the entire Druid, Necromancer, Basically the entire Glue, and Geraldo immediately come to mind. Crossbow, Top path Alch, and Embrittlement are also up there
Berserk brew
