{{BTD6 last updated|48.2}}[[Lych]] is a unique boss in the sense it can counter strategies reliant on buffs and compact defenses. It also tests the player's ability to have enough damage to cover longer sections of the track or even other tracks by its soul and MOAB-Class resurrection abilities. It can also make the early game farming less efficient due Lych-Soul live stealing ability, forcing the player to conserve more lives during the first 40 rounds by buying more expensive defenses.

This strategy page only covers dealing with Lych itself and not the farming required to afford the defenses, for such guide consult [[Strategy:Boss Bloon Event]]. The tower selection also assumes all challenge modifiers are at standard values.

There are other tower combinations that can defeat Lych and its Soul, but will be overwhelmed by the normal spawns and the resurrected MOABS, so they will need additional support. The support can be from 1 to 3 towers that can handle regular spawns, defending or stalling MOABs, and camo detection. For example, 4-0-2 [[M.O.A.R Glaives (BTD6)|M.O.A.R Glaives]], 0-2-3 [[MOAB Shove (BTD6)|MOAB Shove]] and 3-0-0 [[Submerge and Support (BTD6)|Submerge and Support]] can perform those tasks. In maps with multiple lanes, a 0-2-3 [[MOAB Shove (BTD6)|MOAB Shove]] can be used to stall MOABs in those lines and let the helicopter or the main defense handle them eventually.
