BTD6 Round 300 + - Easy LateGame Strategy ft Adora w/commentary - 2023
updated
Sorry for no commentary today - been busy working night shifts at a hotel between Xmas and New year so when I’m back at Uni I have some extra money. Sadly have been hit with a terrible viral infection so just resting up.
But, this shows you how to get 4 First Strikes, Favoured Trades and 2.5-3K spare cash. You can optimise it to have 4.5k spare cash, which I recommend doing if you plan on buying / selling FS on elite. You can choose a better opolis spot and get 6/7 marketplaces instead but this is more approachable for casuals. 5 farms is fine for casual Top 50 normal players. Also, try not to back out at all once opolis is up.
Hope it helps :)
As Pi pointed out, when it’s good Eco weeks using a boat before getting opolis is usually always beneficial.
As mentioned in the video, if this is too annoying then just make Spactory 2-5-0 instead of 1-5-0 and you have a super free 36 tier strat - AI will never be a problem with this cross path. Also, don’t worry too much if lych steals your farms UB stacks T3 - I made sure it didn’t but you’d still be able to get engigon and be ready for T4/5 even if the stacks got stolen. I believe D15/16 also solos but I went for D20 for safe measure.
Just remember to constantly collect from the trap and delay COS to maximise trap income.
Thanks guys for all the support 🥳🥳 Happy holidays🤩
This is my casual play through for this boss. Some things not optimised here in the style of least cash, but it should be easy to follow and there are some optimised stuff done too to eek out the discounts. I used Etienne for the first time this run and it worked out OK - Adora is good too but doesn't really offer much other than raw dps. Sorry for the delayed upload - but LB is super free so try and get some last minute snipes in xD Hope it helps!
Thanks for all the support :)
Good luck and hope it helps!

This is my casual play through for this boss. Lots of things not optimised here, but it should be easy to follow. Basically wanted to keep ECO good and not worry about fast kills that much. I will be doing a more optimal one later + an elite run too. I just wanted to avoid SS spam here xD
Thanks for all the support :)
Good luck and hope it helps!

This is the way I have approached this weeks farming in a casual manner. I chose Obyn just to make life easy but you can bypass a hero altogether and push this up to 57k! You can use dart and sniper to defend until r9/10 instead before buying obyn.

VeDAN here.
MAKE SURE: All Abilities are ready for the start of T5.
This is the way I have approached this weeks normal boss. This strategy involves double dartlings, homeland and special popperations! Certainly not an easy one, and most probably not the meta strategy for the end of the event but hopefully it can inspire some of you in your runs. It is currently 3rd place upon uploading. I do think Smines could have a play, but I am not sure where they fit into it yet. The tower break down is:
Dartlings (050, 520), Heli (050), Engineer (050), Village (250), Hero = Obyn. Change 520 dartling to 500 and you have 33 tiers.
For time stamps for each tier kill to avoid watching the full thing:
Tier 1: 6 Minutes
Tier 2: 12 Minutes
Tier 3: 19:40 Minutes
Tier 4: 26:15 Minutes
Tier 5: 34 Minutes
Thanks for all the support :)

Big shoutout to FeedMePi314 once again. Quite a tricky strategy, especially if you do not understand IMFs well like me. The goal was to get the 2 FS and also have no debt remaining. That being said, I think it is probably easier to have a little debt and get the FS in a more comfortable manner. I am sure there could be some debt manipulations gone wrong, so any corrections would help me learn-- please post a comment so other people can learn too :) . My original run I had about 200-250 more cash, which makes me think I must've approached a couple of things incorrectly in this quick rerun and not thought over them enough.
Thanks for the support
D and V :)
Sorry for no commentary. This is quite an awkward one. This particular 21 tier strategy has a big dependence on RNG. Now there is a 20/21 tier strategy with dartlings, but I know the 21 Tier darling one is much slower than using Super mines. I’d assume the 20 Tier strategy is very hard to execute, although I may try it at some point if it looks like 21 tiers won’t suffice for top 50.
Side note:
Events like this are why the LT system is very poor. The go-to strategy has a dependence on RNG and can cost you 1000s of MM without warning. (I hope this video can help mitigate that. It’s worked 3 times for me using these Smines placements.) But, this not only makes it annoying to play, it also gives a huge disadvantage to players who aren’t using ‘Saves’ to recover their MM and forces people to either give up, or pay for MM. While a great business move for NK, I don’t think this should be what bosses stand for. Not to mention the lack of excitement and variety in strategies, particularly for normal. Everyone will either be using dartlings or Smines.
The concept of LT/LC isn’t actually bad, but I don’t think it should replace the previous timed event system. Rather, it should be separate, ie placed into CT, say, or displayed as a separate event entirely.
Anyway rant over! 😅🤣Elite ranked guide will be coming in a day or two.
Thanks for all the support! We really appreciate it :)

Back today with some least cast and this is a full guide to the run I did that was first place for about 10 minutes before Pi sniped it by 1k doing quite a different strat xD Lots of little things that can be done better quite easily. The optimal play probably involves loads of druids but thats too tedious for my liking. An easy alternative is the Savatar w/ adora + Tack spam! Either way, sub 1,000,000 will put you in a solid spot for Top 50! I have done some testing for normal and think sub 200k is quite doable, so I will post the full guide to that when I complete it :)
Thanks for all the support :)

Big shoutout to FeedMePi314 and Jandalf. Our coop run lead to inspiration for this and Pi had a neat way of doing T1. Sorry if in this video I commentate a bit quick, it is very late here!
A summary is detailed below:
R1-40:
R2 Farm -- 000 Boat -- 020 Farm -- Ezili Placed a bit higher up than what I did --030 Farm -- Another Boat for defense -- bottom boat to 003 -- Collect from bank and get opolis -- Upgrade correct boat to 130 for easy defense -- Place a 300 farm in range of opolis -- buy 004 boat --Set up Dartling and Overclock and alchemist. Want 040 Engi and 420 Dartling and 400 alchemist. Then, use this to beat T1. Can also upgrade boat to 140.
R40-60:
Get 300 farm upgraded to 400. Buy Ultraboost (050 engi) on r55/56. UB the BRF.
R60-80:
For the kill: UB the boat and make sure it is 150 now and set on last. By a call to arms village above opolis thats range covers the PLORD. Save up for Homeland and use 420 dartling to help if needed. After the kill, can UB the Farm a bit and then make sure PLORD is UB 10 before T3 kill. Buy Permabrew.
R80-100:
Buy 520 dartling mid-round. This is only a safety measure! Make sure he is not stealing many pops. I recommend using him for the last 2 skulls mainly. Keep OC'ing the PLORD and using homeland. Also set up the final boat as 500. After the kill, keep OC'ing the BRF to be super safe on money. ROD should do no damage in non-boss rounds.
R100 Onwards:
Make sure you can acquire enough pops for D40 boatgon. This entails making sure the ROD steals no pops at all in any non-boss fight rounds and only does minimal damage in these rounds. I could get it by R105.
Go snipe them spots xD

Big shoutout to Benji for being the first player to execute this strategy and then FeedMePi314 for discussing it with me. So this video is a long one because I will show the kills in their full detail. But, to summarise the strategy for those wanting to try more independently it goes:
T1: 040 Dartling, 320 Dartling, 200 Village, Ezili. Use 040 ability on ceramics.
T2: Identical to T1 but should now have 420 dartling and a 040 engineer. Keep overclock on 040.
T3: By not removing obstacles, at the start of r83 buy 520 and keep OC'ing it. For the final skull, make sure you have 040 ability up.
T4: Should be able to afford UB at the end 90s and start Ub'ing the 520. Make sure you get it to 10 stacks and then keep it OCd until the kill is done. Same as T3, keep a 040 ability for the final skull.
T5: You should have UB 10 on both MAD and ROD. Keep the OC on the mad always. Annihilate the first 2 skulls as quick as possible and then save abilities for the final skull.
Thanks for all the support :)
Good luck and hope it helps!

Here is the basic blueprint for a casual farming strategy for T1 that allows you to make 81K + w/geraldo. Found an 8 farm opolis spot where a discount village is not needed! Shows how insane eco can be this week. Optimisations basically rely on not overdefending and appealing to more micro for the early game rounds. The coop eco must be broken this week where you can run both Ben and Geraldo xD
Thanks for all the support :)
Good luck and hope it helps!

Me and Vanshika currently in the middle of a house move and I have some PhD travelling commitments so this run is super scuffed, like really bad in some areas. But, I suspect this will be enough for T50, since there is some micro involved. Alternatively, once commitments done etc, then I could upload a more optimal run. I can see how 1:40 time can be done. For early tiers, never neglect the power of PMFC! For later tiers, you want a combination of heavy tower spam + high degree paragons. You should quite easily be able to get D60 engigon and acegon. Any questions let me know :)
In terms of optimisations

Here is the basic blueprint for a casual farming strategy for T1 that allows you to make 58K + while avoiding the penalty. Bloon trap micro + tick optimsations etc would make this pushable quite a bit. If you are wanting to copy my T1 set up for normal ranked, this will easily allow you to do it with little stress. Hope it helps :)

Here is the blue print for my casual run on Dreadbloon this week - which is a timed event and has some modifications (why couldn't NK just keep this idea and forget about LT/LC ? :/). This is first place as of uploading and it should be enough for T50 this week.
EXTRA DETAIL + POTENTIAL OPTIMISATIONS:
Farming for T1:
R1-40 I will post a farming guide for. You need to have a 240 glue ready so buy it R39. What I did miss in this attempt was getting an OC for T1! This can be done provided eco is optimised early game for it.
T1 Kill:
(See video). Set up a couple of discount villages, get one of them to Jungle Drums (202). Place a 025 spike right near the boss spawn, accompanied with an 410 ice, and some alchemists -- I had one upgraded to 301 and another 200. I also set up a 203 tack to assist in micro speed. Then, after about 2.8-3s from boss spawn, use glue and wait for Pspike to kill the first bar. As soon as this happens (should be 5-6s), sell Pspike, upgrade tack to 205 and you can place either another tack or an ice and/ or upgrade an alch. This should be a comfortable 17s or less kill with some practise.
Farming for T2:
I set up an opolis in the intersection of the track. I also set up a farm to 320. Make sure you get a LTG (103) or RTG (104) alchemist for R41! So much money to made here. Then, get a bloontrap in range of the opolis as well as a cleansing foam engi for R42. You need to save up to get a BRF. Once you have BRF, you can buy another bloontrap in range of the opolis and save up for overclock on the engi. I recommend that you first make sure you can defend R46 / have the cash for it to spare, with bomb shooters before getting the OC. I got a 230 and 240 bomb shooter. After defending R46, get overclock ASAP and start spamming 203 marketplaces in range of the opolis. I could fit 6. One this was done, get all of these to 204. R52 and R54 can be a bit nasty, so you can always get another bloon trap. After you have all 204s in range of opolis, fill the screen with 023 marketplaces. At the beginning of R59, save the overclock and buy a glue (023) and CTA (040 village). In fact, you could get another overclock and save its ability for the tack zone.
T2 Kill:
Similar to how the Pspike was placed in T1, this time buy a 502 spike factory and set it on close. Overclock it. Upgrade the CTA to Homeland (050). Place down a super brittle and embrittlement (510, 410) ice near the spike tower. Buy a 205 tack zone. Add Jungle drums / alch buffs too. Now for the kill, use homeland immediately and sell it to buy a cripple (502 sniper). Time glue for it to hit the boss once it has landed and youve got an easy kill. Optimisations here rely on eco. With better eco, you could add more tacks / Pbrew etc etc.
T3 Farming:
Special poperations heli (050) in range of opolis for defense. Set up opolis again and buy banana central (520). Also, dont forget a LTG alch accompanied by a glue if you wish. Then, the typical farming begins. You get 2 Overclocks for your Bcentral, then buy a BRF, then get another overclock of which you will use on that BRF, then another BRF and another overclock and so on. Basically, keep an OC for each farm and 2 for the central.
T3 Kill:
Engigon would be great here, but I have major skill issue with him on dreadbloon so I instead went for tower spam instead. Again, a big DPS tower here is the 502 spactory. During r79, save all overclocks for towers to be buffed during the kill. I got 1 502 spactory and 14 402 spactorys in range of temple buff - a 420 super monkey with 50k of support sacrificed too it. Add cripple, glue, homeland, super brittle and then do savatar spam. Make sure ability based towers have been set up on R79. I added AOW (015 druid) too for the final bar. You can also use tacks. In terms of other optimisations, I wish I bought Ultraboost earlier on - perhaps could already add a couple of stacks to the spactory but we will do that for T4/5. Again, better eco would equal better kill.
T4 farming:
Life should be easy now. Keep support temple down. Get a big opolis and 025 farm and just rebuild all BRFS and OCs. Defend with flying fortress ace.
T4 Kill:
Similar idea to T3 but add paragons to the mix. Ultraboost 502 spactory. I got D30 engigon on R95 and added D30 dartgon for the hell off it. Getting D40 engigon would be a big play, but I have too much skill issue for that. If eco was better, getting acegon would really be nice but I held off on acegon because I needed pops for D40. I only just got D40 acegon on R117 since I got wizardgon very early.
T5 Farming:
Rebuild everything as in T4 and keep engigon down so you can prepare his turrets.
T5 Kills:
Everything you can hit it with. I had D30 wizardgon, D30 dartgon, D40 acegon, D30 engigon. Tower spam hard.
Good luck and hope it helps!

Adoras buff to Savatars really proposed some insane DPS. The effective global range is very useful. Round 125 caused me the most issues - particularly with getting overwhelmed by the round itself. This just requires some targetting micro - savatars on close / last can help out here. It’s a really neat idea that’s not immediately obvious and is worth knowing for future events :) sorry I couldn’t share it right away - we wanted to see how many people could figure it out. Moreover, there seems to have also been a Druid strategy that may have been just as good, albeit I’ve not seen how it works.
Thanks for all the support :)

Ranked bosses are back xD Shame about the map though. Here is a rough blue print that can be tweaked to get an optimal kill time. This will not be enough for top 50 and expect it to get tight as it is bloonarius. A lot of fun to be farming again and using acegon/ engigon synergy. Regarding optimisations:
T1: Either get FS min time or do 5 SS + cripple + glue + ICE micro (yikes)
T2: SS and practise until min time is achieved
T3: D30 engigon and get min time (should be quite easy)
T4: D60 engigon temple sac (Harder than T3 but you can do it)
T5: D60 acegon/ engigon is good. Really tightly pack the upper section of the map with high DPS towers (Savatars / tacks etc etc). Moreover, proper use of a 3rd paragon is needed - wizgon with ability active may be a good play. I wonder if dartgon has a place with the walls and ricochet effect.
Good luck and hope it helps!

The idea was to get a D100 dartgon and just try and defend with PMfCs until we have enough pops. Turns out, we only just clutched enough pops and it required going onto R119 of T4! Really cool idea and this is the first time I’ve gotten D100 on a boss with no geraldo.
Morale of the video: Don’t sleep on the dart towers for Phayze - PMFC is great for timed and depending on the map, dartgon is amazing too!
Thanks for all the support - see you next boss :)
Cheers

Super casual test run! I really want the IMF'less MAD for T1 so stay tuned. If not, OC Sky Shredder but with gerry instead may be the wiser move. I have an inkling that spikes will be the play for the optimal times, but it'll be more tricky than usual due to the map structure! If spikes are the play, the for solo I do think Gerry will be the better hero for rejuv potions.
Side note: Damn I really wish we had another Phayze boss, it was super fun. Hopefully bugs are fixed soon!

I enjoy Dreadbloon LT/LC more so than LT/LC on other bosses because it is not always about pushing a paragon! This is a casual set up since we added banana central, but this is optional and if you want to suffer without it you have yourself a 19 tier strat, which I expect the LB to be flooded with. The basic idea is to synergise UB, LOTN and SMINES. Try and place smines in a place which covers 3 parts of the track! See pinned comment for full breakdown of defense at each tier in case the video is too fast!

My first attempt - lots of flaws but I must say, NK have done great with this one. Graphics are great, concepts are great and it was a lot of fun. Also, they gave us a timed event with a lovely map so 10/10 for that. Lots of changes to be done / found. But hopefully this will be useful for some casual players who are trying to figure out some things. Pretty cool that I can say I was the first player to get a sub 3 minute time on this event xD I am sure this wont be top 50 though - stay tuned for a more comprehensive strategy in the future.

Thank you FeedMePi314 for posting his strategy early in the discord - it helped a lot with getting opolis on time.
Stalling is an annoying mechanism for ranked bosses so circumventing the need for it can improve the quality of life / gameplay experience. I would recommend this strategy more for a coop T50 medal than a solo, as I am sure that solo will be a meta strategy of about 36/37 tiers involving lots of annoying stalling. T1 is by far the hardest. Hope it helps!

This is my first live commentary so sorry that there is a few instances of me saying `errrr' and the fluency isn't quite there - it will come with practise :) I want to improve so that I can livestream in the future so this is just some practise. I messed up the later rounds terribly but still made good Eco - the main priority is getting opolis on time which isn't trivial, especially if not using sauda. Hope it helps in some way!

Perhaps the easiest and most casual T50 run I have ever done. Basically no thought required - the catch this week is to not use double paragon. As long as you have a temple down with other towers for DPS, then you are good. The optimal strategy disregards paragons all together, but I don't want to waste all my MM trying that. Sorry that it is so brief, but hopefully it can inspire you on your run!

Casual top 50 guide here :) Should be very straightforward - if you have any difficulties let me know. Basically if I optimised the kills here, it would get a 36:2x time. If you optimise T1/2 and also time the ace on 119, you should get a 35:xx time. Its all about ability timing accuracy and not much more too it.

Casual top 50 guide here :) Getting ~ D60 engigon for T5 and T5 itself are the hardest part if you wish to do an optimised run! Remember, T1 you should use 1 Spike Storm instead of a FS, but its placement is quite particular. Otherwise, just do a casual run and follow ideas similar to this. Hope it helps :)

Casual top 50 guide here :) Getting D60 engigon and T2 are the hardest part if you wish to do an optimised run! To get T2 sorted, I would recommend using 3 tech terrors for the first bar then time your elim and assassin spot on for the remainder and that will be able to net the frame perfect kill. If not, just a blind assassin spam works casually xD Hope this helps!

Here is my test run for the new boss - I am a fan of this one xD To optimise:
T1: Add more tacks and you can get a 12:XX time
T2: PMFC is great to add, or the optimal strategy is 1 AB, 8 TT and use 2 Rejuvs for instakill
T3: Get engigon higher degree! I was short on damage with D20, I think D25 should be OK but will check.
T4: D20 Ace and D40 engigon is easy instakill -- you just gotta hope NK doesn't give you the turret incorrect order bug
T5: Everything you have at it - prioritise acegon but also get engigon to a good degree. You need as much eco as possible to get a quick time here. Remember to sell engigon only at the very end.

After failing an optimised run, I decided to record a super casual Top 50 guide for this dreadbloon boss, or as I like to call it, DEADbloon. If you are casual / new to bosses, this boss will put you off - I wish NK didn't do this. This guide should show you how to still get top 50 without doing any insane micro or optimisations. The farming is hit insanely hard so do not expect to be rich. Moreover, there is less scope for strategies with so much restrictions. I guess it is cool that beast handler isn't just unimaginably awful for T3, although for its cost there is much better alternatives. NK have nullified the new tower which is a shame as it offers a great scope of skill in using it... if only it were viable in bosses. But yeah I stress this is a very poor run, with many errors, but should be enough for T50 and it didn't take me long to complete. Hope something useful lies in it :)

This is how I killed each tier to secure top 50 and it is currently first place! Be prepared to practise with your engigon - it can take a while! Also, T5 is crucial that you nail it - spike storms were a nice addition for extra damage. Remember, only D21 engigon is needed for T4! I always get a little higher just to be safe ;) Hope it helps!

If IMF'ing for a ROD seems daunting, then this is a guide to afford a MAD using standard method techniques which will allow you to secure top 50 no stress. It is a little tricky, R12, R14, R23, R24, R25, R31 require you to be diligent. Good luck! I will keep you updated if IMF for ROD guide comes out :)

This is a casual guide for killing elite bloonarius and netting that top 50 medal! 1st place as of time of uploading. Prioritise your farming and be more strict that I was - you can shave 1 minute + off this time! Good luck ;)

This is a casual guide for killing bloonarius in under 50seconds - this run is second place as of time of uploading. No primary is annoying, but this map offers easy tower placements and good farming to counteract this! Just be more aggressive on T4 and sub 45s can be done. Hope this helps! Looking forward to the new update :D

This is a casual guide for affording over 72K for T1! With some optimisations, you can probably get to 74k. Of course, glue and 2 FS are needed for the kill but your ECO will be in a solid position for a top 50 run at least.

This is a ridiculously casual guide for affording the MAD this new boss - for casuals it may be beneficial to see. I am super sorry that I can not spend more time on this; have to prioritise my research and new boss is unexpected. Any questions let me know. Super sorry that there is not a full commentary but ideas are similar from first video.

This is a casual/semi-casual guide to kill vortex in ~2:00. A better Pspike for T2 and high paragon degrees T5 would make sub 2 minute easily doable -- shame about all the bugs on this one :/ Engigon T3 can be really annoying so try and use these placements. Engigon will not be needed for top 50 though, you could probably just Pspike and Boomer it and do well enough. Let me know if you have any questions :) Join our discord if you want to see detailed discussion of strategies / farming etc.

This is a casual/semi-casual guide to make 83k For T1 using Geraldo. My bloon trap was not micro'd in this run (hence skipped over) and lost an easy 1k + from it but even so, 83k! Just make sure your bloon trap micro is on point to eek out as much finance as possible and you are ready for a solid T1.
Big thanks to the great player Blackeyefly (@blackeyefly ) who showed me his penta bank strategy which is a bit harder, but an easy 83k + if done right.

This is a casual guide to kill Lych without being so reliant on Engigon. Of course, I would recommend you do - but for casuals it is hard to afford engigon R80. Also, try and time things more strictly than I did - every second counts in ranked normal ;) This should be a top 50 time and is super chilled - I may do an optimal run this week, although I think elite will be more fun.
Check out @balta8567 video for the optimal T1 strategy to save a few seconds :)

This is a casual guide to kill bloonarius in way before 2 minutes! I will explain in the comments fully the T1 strategy so be sure to check it out.
Big thanks to the members Blackeyefly (T2 Farming) and GoodestGoat (I tweaked his guide for T1) for the inspiration. Channels here:

This is a casual guide to 35K for T1 on this awkward start-up provided by NK on the boss this week. It does have some micro, and more optimisations discussed and the early rounds are the hardest - I hope it helps and any questions let me know. Just persevere a bit with micro if things look tough - also, sometimes placements matter so try and get placements like mine in the video or even better, find better ones! But this works well for me and allows you to easily afford enough for T1 instakill.

This is a casual run to figure out this new boss. In essence, T2-5 can all easily be instakilled and for optimal timings, don't use Pspike like I did but instead use deadly spike spam. Casuals can follow this though :) If you want to see how I farmed for R40 let me know in the comments below and I will show what I did - it was not optimal, but allowed me to easily get the spike storms I needed.

This is a competitive run in which I miss a sub 60 second run by a hair! The thing you need to really make sure you smash is R40-60 farming and I hope the setup I show here can help. Also, for T1, I was really quite optimal with my farming - you can follow the farming video but try and greed more than what I did there (as it is targeted at casuals). Basically. instead of upgrading defense early, try and eek out as much as you can by microoing towers and investing as much into farms. Then, the strategy is the same throughout -- TACKS TACKS TACKS (w spiked mines, temple and savatars, PMFC and debuffs).

This is a casuals guide to a 90 second run - has the potential to stay top 50. This was my first run and super chilled so don't expect to see optimisations etc. That being said, I hope you can pick out the key points and be able to get a decent time. Stay tuned for a 60 second run video in which I will explain the optimisations more.
