The pre-fullsend involves obtaining very high power towers that can defend and earn large amounts of money in the first seconds after the fullsend, which is when the longest round and nearly all other rounds are sent out.
The pre-fullsend involves obtaining very high power towers that can defend and earn large amounts of money in the first seconds after the fullsend, which is when the longest round and nearly all other rounds are sent out. These towers are listed below. One common practice here is to purchase a 0-2-0 Alchemist into a 3-2-0 [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] to buff a low-tier tower, sell Berserker Brew, and upgrade the tower into the desired tower. This practice is also used post-fullsend.

|-
|[[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]]
|[[File:BTD6 300-IceMonkey.png|x50px]]
|Ice Shards is a very potent tower, with the shards dealing massive damage when triggered. It also decamos, but not very reliably, and its immense damage in general also faces reliably issues. Therefore, it is mainly recommended only for truly competitive scores that require luck regardless.
|-
|[[Bloontonium Reactor (BTD6)|Bloontonium Reactor]]
|[[File:BTD6 400-MonkeySub.png|x50px]]
|Bloontonium Reactor's high pierce allows it to take down large clumps of Bloons at once with the 4-1-0 (4-2-0 if Leads are an issue) crosspath. It also reliably de-camos, benefits from the Berserker Brew tactic, and can reliably trigger Ice Shards.
|-
|[[MOAR Glaives (BTD6)|MOAR Glaives]]
|[[File:BTD6 400-BoomerangMonkey.png|x50px]]
|MOAR Glaives greatly improves on nearly all of Glaive Ricochet's attributes, being nearly 4 times more powerful with maximized pierce and much more reliable. It can also pop all Bloon types except Camo, which Bloontonium Reactor takes care of.
|-
|[[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]]
|[[File:BTD6 004-BombShooter.png|x50px]]
|Recursive Cluster is an extremely potent damager, easily wiping out extreme clumps of Bloons. Another tower, such as MOAR Glaives, is needed to cover its weakness against Black Bloons and Zebra Bloons. Spamming it is a viable strategy post-fullsend.
|-
|[[Abyssal Warrior]]
|[[File:BTD6 400-Mermonkey.png|x50px]]
|Abyssal Warrior's extremely high pierce and pierce buff to other towers makes it one of the best race towers. It is recommended to get multiple of them for the pierce buff to work on each other, one of them to 4-0-1 for Camos, and the others 4-1-0 for even higher pierce.
|-
|[[Velociraptor]]
|[[File:BTD6 030-BeastHandler.png|x50px]]
|The Power 24 Velociraptor's extreme pierce allows it to pop all Bloons with ease and also take out clumped MOABs with multiple of them. Like MOAR Glaives, it pops all Bloon types except Camo. One Power 24 Velociraptor is prepared for the fullsend to Round 78 on long maps, while two are needed before the fullsend on shorter maps.
