Best Beginner Guide of All Time - From Noob to Pro In Bloons Tower Defense 6

hello and welcome my microscopic bags of fun this is my beginner's guide to bloom's tower defense 6. we've been making a ton of modded content but now i want to switch it up and i want to go and treat you guys to an extra video this probably won't get that many views but for all the people that it does matter too thank you guys so much for watching and i hope you enjoy when looking at your heroes this is your first choice or your first thing you want to think about in bloomstar defense six you've got four free heroes you can play with quincy gwendolyn striker jones and opengreenfoot highly recommend opengreenfoot for his starting prowess as a fantastic hero to begin with if you are a little bit more advanced and you do have some of these guys unlocked or you are deciding which one to unlock i would suggest either adora or pat fusty both really good heroes in their own regards and not complicated either they just do things but for now we're going to stick with oben in fact i'm going to use his original skin here just for the classicness of it and we're gonna actually hop into an easy map we're gonna play it on hard though we're gonna play just regular standards we can get a basic idea of the game now we cannot start the game off with open we cannot start off with any of the other monkeys because we don't have our monkey knowledge yet we don't have any extra cash to start off our game so what do we do the first thing you're going to do is you're going to build a couple dart monkeys just standard old silly little dart monkeys why would you almost always on every single game start off with some dart monkeys because we can always sell them later and they are by far the most efficient popping power tower in the game for low monies what they do is they pop two balloons per shot or three balloons per shot if you've got the monkey knowledge unlocked i'm going completely monkey knowledgeless for you guys which is a big big deal in bloom starter fan six you don't realize it but monkey knowledge gives you so many advantages it's honestly a little bit insane once you can get your uh uh money for your hero that's the number one thing you want to do now the reason why we want to build oben as fast as possible because your hero is going to level up over time you're going to notice that what they're going to do is they're going to get experience at the end of every single round this experience is going to level us up and make us stronger now there's 20 levels to each different hero here and that means that there is a lot of room for improvement here by the time they reach level 20 they'll be roughly 40 50 times stronger than they currently are at level one so by getting them up early and getting them on an early round we get more time to earn experience that means we're going to go up more levels by the time we get to the end of the game likely probably level 17 or so by around 80 which means we're going to be powerful now the next thing you want to look at is all the different options and bloons tower defense six for you to play with there is a lot of towers now uh you know there's six primaries there's gonna be one two three four five six seven militaries now five magic monkeys and there's going to be the final four support towers here this is where it gets a little bit complicated because you can go with literally any option i could tell you almost any tower and kind of make it work but if you're talking about beginner towers what's the easiest to understand the easiest to play around with well we're talking probably mostly the primaries or mostly the militaries okay these guys are not necessarily complicated but they have a lot of different ways that they buff and combine and do different things and or have weird weaknesses that don't necessarily make sense here so we're gonna we're probably gonna end up getting a ninja later on because he's a good easy tower to start off with but before we get there we're going to just get some popping power so the next tower we're going to build is a boomerang all right this guy's just going to put him somewhere in the middle if you want to get more complicated with it you can imagine how the boomerang is going to hook around again i don't want to get too complicated with it but he's got the the difference between uh two different ways that he can throw he's an ambidextrous you can throw one way or the other automatically now with no monkey knowledge and then you're gonna upgrade him i would recommend if you're just going for just regular old balloon popping power the best thing to get is just a nice middle path boomerang so we're gonna go one two and three this is a bionic boomerang and what this guy can do is pop a lot of blues alright now with any upgrade that you're buying here what you want to think about is definitely the cross path so the way all towers can be upgraded is five tiers in one uh specific upgrade for example one two three we're at third tier right now and then you can go two in one other direction so we have to decide between the top path or the bottom path if we already have a middle path third tier third tier is basically the third and final decision if you went third tier you cannot go the other path anymore so that's definitely an interesting way to think about it now what we're going to do is we're just going to go straight popping power here so we're going to get improved rings and glaives so one big important thing about blue star defense six is knowing what's gonna come out on what round and this is always going to take experience i have roughly memorized every single round here and you're gonna notice we forgot to get camo detection man that's a big problem camera detection is a somewhat rare thing to find on certain towers you don't automatically get it on most towers you can buy it on a lot of them but not all of them the number one thing that i would say to do is if you're i'm a little worried you don't have that much money 24 losing three lives is not a big deal but once you get to round 33 that's when campbell balloons start to become a big issue for us so always you're gonna go for a ninja if you're just starting off this game you don't know what you want to build i would say go for that ninja and there's one ninja you always want to build here guys this is going to be a top path hinges so we're going to go one two and all the way up to double shot here and then again you can decide which one you want to go for but i would highly recommend you get a seeking shuriken this guy is a great cleanup tower and also super duper good against camoblades which again is one of our biggest weaknesses right now so opens gonna do every single type of balloon popping power except for camos and purples he's got the lead popping power he's got all the other different types of popping power and he's not that bad against mobs and or regular balloons but those purples and those camos are a little bit of an issue the ninja takes care of those major issues he can pop purples and he can pop those camo balloons so that means opens basically got no weaknesses now the only balloon we're ever gonna have to worry about ever from now on is gonna be around 59. it's gonna be camo leds now if you guys are just starting this game off and you don't have any towers unlocked at all and you don't have all of the upgrades unlocked yet either the best way to earn experience is just by playing the game there is no awesome simple way to just be like yes automatic experience unlocked at all you can try deflation out for a quick uh bonus experience buff but honestly just play the game beat him on easy beat him on medium beat him on hard you're gonna be earning a lot of experience the basically experience works by the way is the more you use the tower the more money you spend on it the more you're going to earn so i'm not going to get any fifth tiers today but i am going to go up to fourth tiers here because they're honestly pretty cheap to get and not that hard to to go for but this is a fantastic combination for our current defense we decided to go for a good balloon popper we decided to use our hero get him early so we can pop a lot of balloons and then we decided to go for something that could pop almost all other types of balloons camos and purples and all the other junk there's one other uh balloon type that we cannot pop right now and that's why we're gonna go down into the magic section i kind of wanted to have a little bit of fun with you guys here and i said i wasn't going to use that many magic towers but i guess i am um but actually we'll wait we'll wait that'll be around 59 thing we got a long time before that's gonna end up being an issue here instead we're gonna go for a military monkey now i know that this is a beginner's guide and military monkeys require honestly a little bit of micro a dartling gun you're gonna have to aim him so i don't want to show you guys how to do that heli pilot you're also going to have to move him around the screen don't want to show you guys that either monkey ace is complicated because he's going in different directions the position is going to be weird complicated these two guys are water towers so we can only put them on water which means on this map we cannot put him anywhere interesting and last but not least though well mortar is also a little complicated too but last but not least is the sniper now this is a great great great beginner tower right here because he can never miss and he can hit anywhere on the screen what yeah baby anywhere on the screen so anywhere besides if you notice if you have any walls on the screen so in balloon starter fan six they made this game 3d so that means if there's something in the way a house or a windmill or a wall or a canyon or a crater or anything like that certain towers cannot see through it in fact most towers cannot see through it so you have to watch out in this case on this somewhat easy map the walls really aren't a big deal i'm not planning on putting my sniper here but just in case you don't want to put a sniper here all right it's blocking off some of our our territory here but if we just put him anywhere near the middle of the map he is going to automatically reach any balloon and start popping things because this is beter's guide this doesn't matter that much but check this out this is gonna be a moab here it should be pretty easy for us our boomerang has the popping power our ninja does the cleanup and uh oban's also just gonna do some balloons as well so should be a pretty easy uh uh defense for us here ninja clean up perfect and we got a lot of money to work with as well don't forget about that next thing you want to do is think about this sniper all right i'm going to give you guys a really really really clear and cut answer about the sniper almost any upgraded almost any combo is going to be good but the best most awesome combo in my opinion is going for a bottom path with a shrapnel shot okay now if this guy can be honest he could just be on first generally speaking snipers on strong are better but in this scenario we're going to leave him on first because as we upgrade him any upgrade that we get here is just going to make him that much better don't forget this guy can be used on a lot of maps that's why i'm going to show them off to you guys here because we got a good starting tower to kind of clean up the balloons we got something else that could deal with some of the camos and some of the extra blooms that are a little bit complicated for us and then we've got something else that can hit both camos and just clean up any balloon on the screen anywhere having that infinite range just makes things so much easier no micro he just does things so what i would recommend doing is not even just getting a shrapnel shot with semi-automatic rifle but going all the way up to a fully auto rifle or even if you want to go up to an elite defender now you're noticing these balloons are not even making it on the screen right now and his pop count is going up drastically now we know we've got a really really really good combo right here everything is just going to go for us he actually truly has no weakness he can pop all types of balloons he's super duper quick um and he's a powerful tower i highly recommend it that's all i'm gonna say go for that sniper zero two four now the way i talk about upgrades guys i haven't really touched on this all that much but the way i talk about upgrades is that there's three different paths that you can go down so if you want to upgrade a certain path a certain amount of times you say that number so this would for example be a two three zero okay this ninja would be a four zero two got four upgrades here zero upgrades on this path and two upgrades on this path there's no real easy way to understand the upgrade paths without saying that every single tower tower's gonna have its own name um this is a fully auto rifle but you want to talk about a fully auto rifle with shrapnel shot it's really difficult to understand exactly what they're doing right so we go we've got another moab coming out so if you don't know what's going to come out that's kind of where we're at right now we don't know what's coming out how do we prepare it's difficult it's difficult knowing that you have the good towers the right towers is going to help you out a lot i would generally say the more higher tier towers you have the better than a lot of lower tier towers for example i would not want to build 30 0-0 dart monkeys i would not want to build you know 15 you know 2-0 boomerangs or anything like that i would rather go for more uh expensive third tier towers and fourth year towers rather than spending all my money on these lower tiers but the big issue with that is saving up enough money for them some of them can be pretty pricey for a grand you know i mean 50 years 37 000 you're not going to afford that very easily at all right at all so anyways right now our big boy is definitely this fully auto rifle he's doing almost everything we look at the pop counts here 8 000 on our boomerang we've got 3 000 on our ninja he's doing a decent amount we built him last he's got 21 000 already you can see the big difference here even oben only at 7 000 over here fantastic now one other thing that i really haven't touched on too much is targeting targeting is going to be important for us all right i don't want to go into too much depth here on targeting i think leaving most things if you don't know leaving things on first is probably your best bet but you do want to think about what kind of towers you're using and how they're going to do the most damage if for example you have a i'm going to delete this guy in a second but if you have a a catapult here this is a top path guard monkey we're going to go with three two zero when we leave him on first what he's going to do is he's going to start chasing these balloons because start missing a lot where if we put him on close he's probably also going to start missing a lot he's just going to randomly shoot and just sort of like do whatever he wants it's not really worthwhile we put him on strong he's going to start chasing the strongest balloon because usually the strongest balloon is going to be in the front because they're the fastest generally and then if we put him on uh last here though now every single time we hit a blue and we're gonna throw down this gigantic straight line any time we're hitting this guy we're gonna get more and extra popping power it doesn't mean automatically we're gonna hit every single balloon and pop them all but generally speaking this would be a good time to think oh last is actually good for a sniper rifle usually you want to hit the strongest balloons and take them down the multiple layers that they exist so a sniper would be really really good to put on strong generally except in this scenario you want to get him up to a zero to four so we're getting rid of this guy we have a lot of money to work with as you can tell this is fantastic now one round that i want you to memorize okay is round 59 there's not that much to memorize around 59 is going to have your first camo lead balloon if you've got this guy you're fine you don't need to worry about it but if you need to worry about camo leds at all your number one boy is gonna be your wizard okay you can get uh a middle path two zero two two wizard and this guy's gonna be able to pop um a lot of balloons but also camo let's he's kind of your go-to guy there are other ways to pop them but they're honestly kind of expensive or difficult to get or just problematic overall one other tower that's somewhat weird here that will just generally be one of your favorite towers eventually is going to be a village okay this is a monkey village it's got a range it doesn't do any attacks all it does is it gives buffs so what you want to do is you want to pop this guy in range of most of your towers if possible and then you're going to get different buffs from this guy so we can make our radius a little bit bigger here we can give them jungle drums which is going to increase the attack speed of all of our monkeys that means every single monkey inside of this range here is going to give us 15 i believe 15 extra attacks okay so this is going to be wonderful why is this guy not building oh there it is there's the wall of fire i was wondering where they were at man as you can tell fully auto rifle was able to take him down but the wall of fire helped us out a lot it's going to increase the attack speed of all the monkeys the middle path is going to be a camo detection awesomeness every single tower in the range of this village is going to have camera detection now so realistically camo balloons will not be an issue ever again you should not have to deal with camos at all but you do have to keep in mind that you do have to put people inside of the range of your village if possible if possible i think is the key it doesn't necessarily need to be in the range there i could put my sniper in the range here as well but it does help out a lot another very difficult round to deal with is round 63 and this is where definitely you just have to know that like you are a good player or you're an experienced player you know which rounds you have to worry worry about 59 63 76 78 these are all difficult rounds that you like going to memorize eventually but for now just spend all your money you know right now we're doing a bad job we're not spending all of our money i'm trying to explain all the towers another great great great addition to this game another third tier tower is going to be the dragon's bradley wizard this guy's weakness is purple balloons but we've got two other towers that can deal with the purple balloons that should not be an issue should be a non-issue now and he does a lot of extra popping power he's gonna be great against the group balloons and uh finally actually do some stuff so i haven't really touched on abilities yet every single tower is gonna have a middle path upgrade once you get to fourth tier you're gonna notice this little lightning bolt right here this is an ability every single tower is gonna have it ability ability boom boom ability billy billy except for uh this guy that's the only one that doesn't have an ability i believe uh so you'll notice a lot of abilities here in this game every single one of these middle path uh uh towers is gonna have an ability and your hero is also gonna have two abilities that they're gonna use so you can use um for example we can throw down some thorns back here and we can throw up some trees if we wish each hero is going to have their own two abilities and each tower is going to have their own fourth year ability and their own fifth tier ability generally speaking the fourth year ability is just a weaker version of the fifth year or the fifth year's stronger version of the fourth year but uh these abilities are activated abilities which means you have to press the button to make them happen i'm going to stay away from abilities today because i want to make sure that you guys understand how to play the game while the towers do all of the work you don't have to micro or manage or do anything just know that your blue your towers are going to pop all the balloons that is my goal for you guys today so now we have a lot of money here what's another great tower to put in here well again i think personally i like the primary monkeys i think they're really really good so we're gonna go for uh attach here texture is gonna shoot out in all eight directions here so the best place to put them is in a big kind of cavi area and a lot of uh early maps are going to have a lot of like little loops like this you definitely want to put your in there the one that i would recommend is a top path actually a one two three and four a ring of fire and we're actually go for the long range and the super range here you can notice any time a balloon steps in here they're getting burned to a crisp fantastic there's also another tactic that's really really good here and since we have the money for it i'm going to use it i'm gonna put him let's put them together why not it's not perfect positioning but i think it'll actually be overall still good enough i'm gonna put another tax here it's a bottom path so wait zero actually go for a two zero four that's going to be our overdrive texture this is another fantastic power that you guys want to add into your game you're noticing i'm not sticking with very many low tier towers i'm showing you guys some of the main third and fourth year towers that end up being very very efficient once you get a couple third to your towers they can pop balloons you can start saving up for these bigger batter balloons uh bigger batter towers a lot easier so the way boabs work if you guys haven't noticed they've got a certain amount of health you have to hit them with a certain amount of projectiles or with a certain amount of things that do a certain amount of damage and you have to make sure that they do everything um properly this is something you have to learn with experience you cannot just know how much moab popping power something has you just have to know that the more projectile something shoots generally the more popping power it shoots uh or popping power it does so you're gonna notice against these moabs i'm not doing much damage with my ring of fire it does like three damage per shot but with attack zone or an overdrive against these moabs i'm gonna do tons of damage because i shoot out tons of projectiles but against the balloons i'm not quite as efficient as they can do damage but i'm not quite as efficient you notice our pop count a lot against the mobs a little bit against the balloons not bad so another primary monk you guys probably going to worry about or think about here is going to be your cannon all right now we're going to put our cannon inside of the range of the village here and we're going to get another key cannon upgrade all of them are decent all right top path going to stun things middle path going to kill moabs basically bottom path generally good against balloons but doesn't stun them so we're gonna go for the bottom path a two zero four cluster cannon and into recursive cluster here this is going to be fantastic against the balloons now this is just a generally fantastic combo a lot of third tiers a lot of four piers that just do create things right now believe it or not one of the weakest towers we have is probably our boomerang here the bionic boomer he is not fantastic for late game but he does get us a lot of early game popping power allowing us to get that extra cash flow to be able to build all the rest of these towers all right and one other thing that i have not touched on yet is going to be banana farms i would recommend that early players beginner players just kind of stay away from banana farms in general don't build them what they do is they're going to generate cash from uh you spend money you invest money into a banana farm and it's going to give you cash back eventually all right uh generally takes about 11 to 12 rounds to make your money back all right if you don't sell it if you do sell it it's gonna take like three or four rounds to make your money back but that means that every other round that you spend with this banana farm in addition is going to generate you extra cash so if you want to build a banana farm on round 10 you might make back you know almost ten times as much money as you invested into it by the time you get to round eight that's a lot of extra money right that's why banana farms are so important if you can get them and if you can get them early they're gonna generate you a lot of extra cash which just makes the game just generally that much easier but there are certain game modes like chimps it's just really not possible you can't generate money at all farms are not impossible to build in chimps so you have to be careful with that so uh this is my setup i believe that i could beat the entire game here with just the setup right here i've got a village that incorporates most of my towers i've given them camo detection which i'm going to say generally if you can do that especially in these beginner maps give them camera detection with the village don't worry about getting cam protection from all the other random upgrades here and then if you want to you can get your jungle drums which is going to make all of them shoot faster if you go for a lot of primary towers as well boomerangs tax shooters dark monkeys cannons you know that kind of thing probably this primary training upgrade it's all the blue monkeys here are going to get buffs for it not a crazy buff but it's a pretty decent buff so uh do that and then you can really start to own these balloons now again this is a no fifth tier tower run right now this is all just fourth here here and you can see all these balloons here even on these somewhat difficult rounds are basically getting annihilated right around here i mean that's only maybe one eighth of the entire map length here i mean you have to go all the way through here here here here here here here here here and here and here just to be able to pop uh just to be able to sneak through our defense right now that gives us a lot of time to work with now i know that this is sort of weird to mention because i think you guys are smart people but generally if you're going to put your tower somewhere you want to put your tower somewhere where you know that it can attack multiple spots on the map for example if i put my dart monkey here i'm going to hit the balloons right here and then never again i have very little time to hit them right if i put them here i'm not only in range of the village now i can hit them here and as they come around i can hit them one more time but that's pretty nice i get an extra bonus here if i put them uh in an even better spot like this might even seem like a bad spot for now right but if i get him up to a little bit of extra range here for example if i get up to a crossbow now i can see the balloons as they walk in i can see the balloons as they come around again i can see the balloons as they come around again and i can see them as they leave that is four different times that i get to attack these balloons that means i can almost quadruple my popping power not quite exactly but almost quadruple my popping power as putting a crossbow in this location all right so that's why you're gonna want to think about where you're putting your towers because location location location baby uh at this point though now you want to think about what kind of usually if you're going to go to up to 80 or 80 plus you want to think about what other fifth tier towers can you start to afford i'm not gonna do it today but i would definitely say tax zone is definitely a key upgrade you want to get for go for um uh fifty another fifth year that you probably could go for ultra juggernaut pretty cheap pretty easy elite defender 15 000 not even expensive at all will probably be up to around 80 almost by himself that's how awesome this guy is i wanted to build him but i don't want to i don't want to make this too easy for you guys i don't i want you to work for your stuff at least a little bit and or start to build those more expensive military memories because these guys are really really really helpful all right again they require a little bit of micro or a little bit of management but that makes them then just that much more powerful all right the last thing i'm going to touch on is the alchemist okay and just generally support towers as a whole if you're at all worried especially near the front of the game throw it at a spike factory it's a good safety net if you're at all worried about balloons thinking through maybe around 24 throw it on a spike factory if anything stinks through boom you got it covered engineer generally i would say stay away from him uh he's not that good of a tower he's okay at best but like just just man village definitely get a village but more than one village probably starting to waste money here farms fantastic fantastic towers if you use them properly but as a beginner you probably don't want to spend too much time farming because you don't know how to do it yet you don't know when to spend your money when to sell farms want to do that stuff you're probably gonna end up killing yourself more than you're gonna help yourself but alchemists okay i did not touch on this tower very much because he's really really really weird the way he's gonna work is he is going to buff your towers he's going to make them stronger especially for higher class stronger towers you're going to want to alchemize them the number one tower that you're going to alchemize my friends is going to be the ninja balloon balloon jitsu four zero two ninja you alchemize this guy he becomes like three times four times as powerful highly recommended uh the way that the alchemist works is the top path is gonna be the buffing path so you're gonna end up getting a berserker brew is going to be your buffing path uh and a stronger stem is going to stim it even further you can cross path it with either one of these upgrades and that will make you stronger but not not necessarily that much stronger okay so just a four zero zero generally use it on things that have a lot of projectiles but doesn't shoot super duper fast that's the best way i can explain it but he has a little bit of a complicated tower so i didn't want to go too into too much depth with him just know that he makes tower stronger and he can kind of mess around with him to see which ones work the best i would say again ninja is probably key heli pallets good dartland guns really good shoots a lot of projectiles uh textures are really good as well um but don't forget about boomerangs as well and that's why i actually wanted to show you guys the boomerang ninja combo because if you guys get good with the boomerang ninja combo you start doing a boomerang ninja alchemist combo and get that much stronger all right or even crazier boomerang ninja adora alchemist combo that's where it's all at baby make that happen and you guys are gonna be owning these rounds so so so easily so with our current defense here we've got thirty three thousand dollars saved up we can easily buy whatever we want here but we know we're gonna beat this game no abilities required we just know we're gonna do fantastic here we've got a really really good combo a really good set of towers here to defend these woods um it's important to know that uh certain towers have certain weaknesses most towers almost all towers can't be good against everything they're either uh they have some sort of balloon weakness or they just don't do that much popping power in general and that therefore they're not that uh efficient to buy or they might have some other random weakness that you just don't understand uh they don't work well or they are not accurate for example this is the zoma god the highest tier balloon in the game and we beat it before it even makes it like halfway through the map man delicious believe it or not our monkey start again is that zero two four sniper over a hundred thousand pops for us here guys absolutely wonderful here if we go into free play we can kind of just check out our current setup here 31 000 on this guy 18 000 on this guy 35 000 until all of our towers did something pretty good 35k 43k 43k 30 000. everybody had a part to play and then this guy just fantastic all around because he's got infinite range and he's been around a long time too but infinite range and we probably spent the most money on him overall if you look at the sell prices so kind of makes sense that he did the best but nonetheless my friends that's going to be my beginner's guide to bloom's tower defense stakes if this helped you at all pretty pretty please press that like button for me don't forget to subscribe and of course have a super duper delicious day
