===Least Cash===

*If a hero is available, centralizing a defense around the hero is usually the most cost-efficient.

*Saveups for affording defense should focus largely on early-game.

*Cash-related relics are pointless on Least Cash, unless there's no better relics available.

====Least Cash - Regular====

*If custom Heroes are enabled, the best hero for extremely low scores include Gwen and Rosalia. (Sauda and Corvus are banned.)

**On Beginner maps, ~~solo~~ hero can solo all rounds if given appropriate relics.

**On Beginner maps, a single hero can solo all rounds if given appropriate relics.

**For a safer score, add cheap defense that covers the hero's main weaknesses. For example, one 0~~-0-0 Spac or 1~~-0-0 Spac for Rosalia, to catch leaks and Camos.

**For a safer score, add cheap defense that covers the hero's main weaknesses. For example, one 0-0-0 Spac for Rosalia, to catch leaks and Camos.

*Wall of Fire on intersections can deliver a lot of damage to oncoming bloons as long as you can overcome it's purple weakness.

===Least Tiers===

*If a hero is available, centralizing a defense around the hero is usually the most tier-efficient.

*Have a saveup plan for affording defenses, especially if it involves an expensive T5.

====Least Tiers - Regular====

*If custom Heroes are enabled, the best hero for extremely low scores is Rosalia, with Adora being a close second. (Gwen, Churchill, Sauda, Geraldo, and Corvus are banned.)

**On Beginner maps, a single hero can solo all rounds if given appropriate relics.

**For a safer score, add low-tier defense that covers the hero's main weaknesses. Aim for up to 3 extra tiers with a single T3, if possible. For example, one base Spike Factory for Rosalia, to catch leaks and Camos, counting an extra 1 ~~or 2 tiers~~.

*Razor Rotors is often a very tier-efficient single non-hero tower that is easy to use, worth 4 tiers (6 with 3-2-0). Most maps enabled on Regular tiles, except [[Spring Spring]] and [[Rake]], allow Razor Rotors to solo all rounds before Round 43, assuming camos are handled.

*Wall of Fire on intersections can deliver a lot of damage to oncoming bloons as long as you can overcome ~~it's~~ purple weakness.

*Wall of Fire on intersections can deliver a lot of damage to oncoming bloons as long as you can overcome its purple weakness. Likewise, Dragon's Breath can solo all rounds except Purple

*Since ~~it's~~ recent buffs, Flash Bomb can solo rounds up to 39, and has a convenient 1 tier solution to the MOAB class bloon.

*Hydra Rocket Pods covers everything except the MOAB, and can be afforded before the round 28 leads with Monkey Knowledge.

*Hydra Rocket Pods covers everything except the MOAB (unless on a very long map), and can be afforded before the round 28 leads with Monkey Knowledge.

*Druid of the Jungle has many weaknesses but can be considered an option with proper relics.

*Some 4th tier upgrades, like Spiked Mines and Icicles, can be considered niche as many strong tier 3s exist, but sometimes they are the only option.

====Least Tiers - Non-Regular====

* Try to clear all the rounds with 1 or 2 tier 5s instead of placing more towers.

* Spirit of the Forest, Glaive Lord, Pirate Lord, Spectre, Plasma Accelerator, Prince of Darkness and many others can solo rounds up to round 80, provided you account for their weaknesses.

* Spirit of the Forest, Glaive Lord, Pirate Lord, Spectre, Plasma Accelerator, Prince of Darkness, Pop and Awe, and many others can solo rounds up to round 80, provided you account for their weaknesses.

* Artillery Battery (with good bends), Abyssal Warrior, Elite Defender ~~(with Shrapnel Shot)~~ can do the same but can struggle past 62.

* Artillery Battery (with good bends), Abyssal Warrior, and 0-2-5 Elite Defender can do the same but can struggle past 62.

*Certain tiles may have terrible tower choices and/or on a difficult Race Event map such as [[Rake]] or [[Water Park]]. Check what towers and upgrades have the most cost efficient combination of pierce and damage for these tiles if opting for a high score.
