Hello world

Working area so I don't get edit conflicts

Hot Shots is historically far less popular than Tack Sprayer, to make it a more compelling alternative we’ve adjusted crosspath prices to allow room for Hot Shots to gain a damage increase while keeping those 302 and 203 total upgrade costs the same.

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Hot Shots	Damage increased ― 2 → 3
X-1-X Long Range Tacks	Upgrade cost reduced ― $300 → $220
X-X-1 More Tacks	Upgrade cost increased ― $110 → $150
X-X-2 Even More Tacks	Upgrade cost increased ― $110 → $150 Overall cost increased by $80 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

With growing Ice Monkey value in powerful freeze synergies, Super Brittle’s attack rate is being lowered so it can’t quite do everything on its own so easily, and Snowstorm’s price is being raised slightly.

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Super Brittle	Main attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 1.2s → 1.56s (attack speed reduced by 23.08%)
X-4-X Snowstorm	Upgrade cost increased ― $4,000 → $4,750
X-5-X Absolute Zero	Ability: Freeze effect will now apply after damaging the Bloon

To make Desperado crosspaths feel smoother to play around, we’ve lowered the buff drop-off on both of the 2xx and xx1 crosspaths. Additionally Big Iron now pops Lead, allowing it to serve as an early round anti-lead option. Desert Phantom’s shrapnel pierce reduces as even unbuffed the group coverage is pretty crazy, though this doesn’t really change as much as it may look.

Tiers	Changes
2-X-X Standoff	Standoff buff: Amount of stacks increased ― 4 → 6) Standoff buff: Penalty per Bloon in range reduced ― -15% → -10% Note: With both changes combined, the maximum attack speed remains the same (+60%) but now it goes back to zero with 6 Bloons in range instead of 4
3-X-X Big Iron 4-X-X Twin Sixes	Damage type changed ― Sharp → Normal
X-X-1 Wanderer	Wanderer buff: Amount of stacks increased ― 3 → 5) Wanderer buff: Penalty per Monkey in range reduced ― -15% → -9% Note: With both changes combined, the maximum attack speed remains the same (+45%) but now it goes back to zero with 5 Monkeys in range instead of 3

TLDR Boss Strategy Guide

This will beat the boss 83.3% of the time (screw you dreadbloon):

Step 1: Free dart
Step 2: Farm
Step 3: Elite Defender
Step 4: MAD
Step 5: Spam paragons
Step 6: ???
Step 7: Profit!

Hero selection

99% of the time will be Geraldo if he's available, otherwise Ben. A cheap hero if you just need early game defense (spoiler: will be Gwen or Ezili, maybe Quincy). Brickell or Adora for tower spam strategies. You can ignore the rest.

Bosses

Bloonarius

In lower tiers, just divide defenses between damaging the boss and dealing with the spawns. Once a paragon enters the field, it will just melt Bloonarius and its spawns.

Lych

Elite Defender erases tier 1. In the mid game you might also need to divide defenses between damaging Lych and dealing with resurrected MOABs. In later tiers the paragons will destroy everything on single lane maps but need to be careful with DDTs on multi-lanes.

Vortex

Just don't put all your defense on the same spot, attack from afar is really good.

Dreadbloon

Use primary towers to deal with the rock bloons. One main source of damage works well with a secondary defense to defend the immunity phase. Don't make paragons of the same category during the late game.

Phayze

See vortex. Don't use radar scanner or Etienne. On razor-thin defenses the last skull might be difficult due bloons being very close to the exit and Phayze loves to troll.

Blastapopoulos

Just ignore the heat mechanic and pray it doesn't come up at the wrong time. otherwise, just exit the game and retry the round.

Ranked Mode

Fastest Time

Min-max everything. Spam overdrives or carpet of spikes for lower tiers and just make OP paragons on the later tiers. Bloonarius can be insta-killed.

Least Cash

Single paragon tend to be the better strategies, low tier tower spam can get you far. Normal can be beaten without farming most of the time. Time will rarely matter.

Least Tiers

Farming is done by just one or two farms plus possibly monkeyopolis. Farm efficiency and overclock is important to use all the cash in a paragon. Normal will be solved pretty quickly and if the week is easy you'll see 2k+ players with the same score, looking at you 2024-11-23 Blastapopoulos and 2025-06-16 Phayze.
