Line 204:

* Rounds 81-85 are the last rounds that give 0.2x instead of 0.1x income, so a win condition should be purchased by these rounds.

* Support towers listed in the General Recommendations section are worth it to get in practically every situation.

** There is absolutely zero reason to not get Jungle Drums. Spending $3,000 on a tower that boosts the attack speed of everything in range by ~17.6% when one makes about $180,000 by Round 100's end is unquestionably a terrific deal.

** Giant Condor is especially useful on multi-lane maps, as it can move large amounts of blimps to the same lane and turn the map into effectively single-lane. On single-lane maps, it is still a powerful stalling option and can bring leaking blimps back to the front.

** Berserker Brew and Stronger Stimulant provide extremely large boosts to almost all win conditions for their price, with the exception of those who attack extremely fast.

** Relentless Glue stuns massive amounts of Bloons & blimps with its chain effect from splats. It pairs especially well with Sauda and Pop and Awe, and can be upgraded to the much more powerful Super Glue if desired.

** MOAB Press stalls dense rounds, such as 96 and 98, very effectively. 2-0-4 crosspath is recommended for pushing back many more blimps at once.

** Bloon Sabotage makes DDT rounds much easier by making them move at half speed. Note that it does not slow the insides blimps that pop while the ability is active.

** Symphonic Resonance stalls BFBs, MOABs, and DDTs well, and can drag them into a position where towers can reach and more efficiently attack them.

* Some support towers are only useful for some situations.

** MIB is a good AFK option for DDTs, but Embrittlement and Glue Storm also neuter Lead properties that and provide other utilities.

** [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|MIB]] is a good AFK option for DDTs, but [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]] and [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] also neuter Lead properties that and provide other utilities.

** [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]] is very solid, but only for runs with a relatively expensive win condition that concentrates most of the defense's damage, such as Glaive Lord and BEZ.

** [[Shattering Shells (BTD6)|Shattering Shells]] is useful for setups that struggle specifically versus Round 98, removing the threat of Fortified Super Ceramics, but is often outclassed by 2-3 MOAB Presses, which helps for other rounds as well.

* Make sure to have a defense with solid grouped popping power for dense rounds such as 98 and solid DDT popping power for rounds like 95 and 99.

* If using ability-based towers, ability cooldowns become important in the 90s, as nearly every round can pose a challenge to defenses with all abilities on cooldown. Attempt to leave at least 1 useful ability without or nearly without cooldown at the start of every round.

* Do not forget about Round 100 and leave little money for single-target damage options. If the defense relies on stalling or grouped popping powers, the BAD could easily become a dead-end. Unless a very solid single-target win condition has been obtained, save enough money for either a Spike Storm or a [[First Strike Capability (BTD6)|First Strike]], with the latter being able to one-shot the BAD if timed slightly after the BAD reaches its last damage phase.
