Smart money management and cheap, spammable towers are the key to completing this mission. Keeping the highest cost tower as cheap as possible is important, check the sell ~~prices of towers to determine which will get sacrificed next~~.

The first 10 rounds can be completed by the Wizard Lord itself, so placing a single unupgraded [[Dart Monkey (BTD5)|Dart Monkey]] and properly timing the Super Phoenix will allow the player to save up to a much better defense.

The first 10 rounds can be completed by the Wizard Lord itself, so placing a single unupgraded [[Dart Monkey (BTD5)|Dart Monkey]] and properly timing the Super Phoenix will allow the player to save up to a much better defense. 2/3 [[Triple Darts (BTD5)|Triple Darts]] cost more than unupgraded [[Banana Farm (BTD5)|Banana Farm]]s, so a good strategy for the midgame is to place down many of both. Having around 5 to 8 darts will help until [[MOAB (BTD5)|MOAB]]s come, while at most 10 farms are recommended in order to not sink too much money into farming before they appear.

After round 15 when MOABs start spawning, the player can transition to spamming [[MOAB Mauler (BTD5)|MOAB Mauler]]s as their highest cost tower and begin slowly upgrading their farms to [[Banana Plantation (BTD5)|Banana Plantation]]s. More towers are also needed for Ceramic cleanup at this stage, which can vary depending on version:

*On all versions, [[Glaive Ricochet (BTD5)|Glaive Ricochet]]s can damage many Ceramics at once.

More towers are also needed for ~~ceramic~~ cleanup at this stage, which can vary depending on version:

*On the {{Flash version of|Bloons TD 5}}, several 3/2 [[Double Shot (BTD5)|Double Shot]] Ninja Monkeys are a good way to stall Ceramics. Another option are [[Cluster Bombs (BTD5)|Cluster Bombs]], which have a large blast radius and can damage many Ceramics similar to Glaive Ricochet.

*[[Glaive Ricochet (BTD5)|Glaive Ricochet]]s can damage many ~~ceramics~~ at once.

*On the {{Mobile version|Bloons TD 5}} and ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', a cheaper alternative is to spam unupgraded [[Bloonchipper (BTD5)|Bloonchipper]]s to hold and crack open the Ceramic layer.

*On the {{Flash version of|Bloons TD 5}}, ~~many~~ 3/2 [[Double Shot (BTD5)|Double Shot]] Ninja Monkeys are a good way to ~~distract ceramics in time to destroy them~~.

~~:*Also on the Flash version,~~ [[Cluster Bombs (BTD5)|Cluster Bombs]] have a large blast radius and can damage many ~~ceramics~~ similar to a Glaive Ricochet.

*On the {{Mobile version|Bloons TD 5}} and ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', a cheaper alternative is to spam unupgraded [[Bloonchipper (BTD5)|Bloonchipper]]s to hold and crack open the ~~ceramic~~ layer.

Some supporting towers can also be purchased provided they are below the cost of the highest tower:

*0/1 [[Permafrost (BTD5)|Permafrost]] [[Ice Tower (BTD5)|Ice Tower]]s can slow Bloons before they reach the main defense.

The ~~Regen~~ Lead Bloons on certain rounds can also be used to set up a ~~Regen~~ farm to unlock the [[List of achievements in BTD5 (mobile)|Steeley achievement]] quickly.

The [[Regrow]] Lead Bloons on certain rounds can also be used to set up a Regrow farm to unlock the [[List of achievements in BTD5 (mobile)|Steeley achievement]] quickly.
