Strategy:Bloons Tower Defense 3: Difference between revisions

Line 67:

* Four Road Spikes in this version can pop the outer layer of a MOAB.

* Jungle Drums has 0 effect on towers in this version, so it can be skipped.

* In Freeplay, unlike Flash, the player does not suffer a reduction in cash per pop in the Digital Goldfish ports. Even then, the lack of high pierce Tack Shooters can make defending difficult, so the player should prioritize setting up cost-efficient high pierce defenses before setting up Super Monkeys, and having Road Spikes and Monkey Storm ready for MOABs and everything else, respectively.

===Freeplay===

* In Freeplay, the rounds keep going until Round 150. As the bloons are sped up the higher the round and more MOABs can spawn than before, surviving even the first few rounds of Freeplay can be difficult.

* For the first few rounds, prioritize getting Monkey Storm up if the player has not done so, then if too many bloons arrive, they can use Monkey Storm, and use Road Spikes against any MOABs that spawn.

* For the first few rounds, prioritize getting Monkey Storm up if the player has not done so, then if too many bloons arrive, they can use Monkey Storm, and use Road Spikes against any MOABs that spawn if their towers cannot pop MOABs fast enough.

* The player should optimally fill the entire screen with maxed out Super Monkeys, as they possess the highest DPS of all towers.

* The player should optimally fill the entire screen with maxed out Super Monkeys, as they possess the highest DPS of all towers, but should prioritize cost-efficient defense first.

|In the Flash version, Tack Shooters possess incredible amounts of pierce that easily defends against most rounds when massed. Even going into freeplay, they are still a staple that should be prioritized because of their cost-efficiency, as Flash freeplay makes a fraction of all bloons provide cash. This is not true in non-Flash versions of the game as the Tack Shooter only has 1 pierce in those versions, so it is not recommended outside the Flash version.

Do not upgrade too many Tack Shooters too much, but all of them should have [[Faster Shooting (BTD3)|Faster Shooting]] and at least one other upgrade for maximizing their attack speed and pierce.

|Super Monkeys are not recommended before freeplay, but are a staple for freeplay games because of their high attack speed and range. They are the end goal that should be sought after as soon as the player can afford them in freeplay, but should only be done after the player has a stable defense without them.
