The Big One (BTD6): Difference between revisions
Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) prev edit was about adding the burn mention of DoT length bc people will wanna look at "big one" article and wonder how long its burn lasts for without just going to "burny stuff" article (because some just look for "big one" article first...). This time, I added bulletpointings. Strategy seems similar in 52.2 I suppose? also runon sentences suck. "stun blast" and "shockwave" are what I chose for the inner and outer blasts gained at shell shock |

It does not have sufficient Black-popping, so [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] is strongly recommended for it. [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloons|Super Ceramics]], which start appearing on Round 81, greatly reduce the viability of The Big One from this round onwards, though the improved high-pierce stun can still be somewhat useful. It's a decent stepping stone to [[The Biggest One (BTD6)|The Biggest One]], provided MOAB-class Bloons are handled so it can be afforded by the mid-80s. | ||
4-2-0 is more reliable and is recommended on shorter or simultaneously multi-lane maps.
