CHIMPS[fn 1], a game mode with its name as an acronym for No Continues, Hearts lost, Income, Monkey Knowledge, Powers, or Selling, is arguably the most difficult game-mode in BTD6, especially if Powers are used in other game modes.

General Recommendations

Preparation

  • If attempting to Black Border either for the first time or on a map with unprecedented difficulty, look up guides to beat it and take notes about the strategies in those guides. Later on, for maps of similar difficulty and layout, attempt to incorporate elements of the guides into the run without directly copying them to improve skills and prospects for future runs.
  • While attempting to incorporate new strategies to harder maps, do some practice runs where retrying last round can be used freely. Get through the whole CHIMPS game with a red badge before going for a Black Border.
  • Experiment different strategies in Sandbox (BTD6) or Challenge Editor to speed up the testing process if only a few rounds are being the roadblock.
  • Remember the rounds that frequently become a roadblock, and plan ahead for those rounds later on. Rounds that are frequently challenging to CHIMPS runs are listed below.
