Top 10 Things New BTD6 Players Need to Know

hello and welcome my european nipple spiders how you doing this wonderful day it's super chomp bombo and today we're going over the top 10 things you need to know as a new btd6 player as you probably can tell from what i just said this is a video geared for newer players if you're already a pro player or at least pretty experienced in the game you may not need to watch this video as you can tell from over here i kind of know what i'm talking about i am max level with btd6 so i've played quite a bit to say the least so hopefully i can teach you guys something along the way number one now all 10 of these things are not put in any specific order but i still want to number them just because i like numbering things and we can keep it organized so the first thing we have to understand is hero experience hero experience is one of the most interesting things in all of blue star defense six cause it's honestly really really complicated and a new player will have no idea what any of this means what a hero can do is he can level up from level one all the way up to level 20 20 full-on levels gaining more buffs and experience along the way he gets stronger and stronger and stronger so the main thing we want to do is we want to level him up so how do you do that you level them up by just playing the game every single round has a certain amount of experience that it will give you by beating that round so it takes us you know for example to start off the game it takes three rounds to get all the way up to get quincy up just a single level but what's interesting is as we go to higher and higher rounds that experience will actually increase pretty drastically on the higher rounds so now we can level up a full level just by going up a single round so as we go further and further it takes less experience to level these guys up and that's honestly pretty cool now in addition there's a couple other weird little facts about these guys what's really important to remember is that each hero is going to gain experience at a different level from other heroes so to understand how much experience we're gaining we also have to understand which hero we're using uh adora and churchill create an experience generally the slowest there's a couple kind of in the middle like pat and ben and then there's some extremely fast gathering experience heroes like quincy gwendolyn striker jones and oben i believe also if i'm not mistaken i think i think etienne is also in that category and possibly also a zealy but you have to understand that heroes gain experience at different levels in addition every category of map here is also going to change the amount of experience that you gain on each round so when you're playing a beginner map your heroes will level up the slowest and when you're playing an expert map they will level up the fastest this means that heroes are even more important on harder maps like this but seemingly somewhat less important on the beginner maps monkey knowledge is unbelievably important to make your life so much easier there's a few specific upgrades that i highly recommend you try to get towards but honestly just about any of them will help you out a bunch first i think you need to talk about the two-thirds price military monkey this is one of the best military upgrades you can get and honestly one of the best monkey knowledge upgrades that you can get because it means you're early military monkeys are going to be ridiculously cheap again a lot of good upgrades there's really nothing bad but i would highly recommend you try to get the mana shield down here 25 lives for free and it recharges it's one of the only good ways to actually earn lives back so we can keep ourselves safe well if this ain't obviously the one of the best upgrades in the game it's down at the bottom here so you really want to get it really quickly but you can but you start off with 200 extra every single game and you can snowball this 200 extra cash into more and more and more cash if you use it properly this one's also surprisingly importantly awesome i mean it's not really that great but it actually helps you out a lot heroes start each game at level three kind of giving us that good early bonus to kind of get us started and get us flowing with our farms and other things like that of course i can't talk about every single upgrade in the monkey knowledge section here but make sure you're spending it make sure you have it turned on so we talked about hero experience but what are the good heroes in the game chris which one should we be using so there's four free heroes in the game and all of them are okay i would say for a new player oben gwendolyn or quincy are all pretty valuable people to use they just kind of do a lot of pop striker jones is not bad but it requires a very specific strategy once you get to the heroes over here they're also getting kind of complicated but the two best heroes for a beginner player would probably be adora and ben ben gives you cash makes the first moab easy and adora is just a strong powerhouse right from the get-go and pops pretty much all types of balloons besides purples now that doesn't mean that any of these other heroes are bad in any sense of the word they're all really good and useful in their own way but if i had to get tell you to spend your monkey money in a specific way i would say go adora go ben or use one of the free heroes so i don't want to beat a dead burning dried up terrible looking garbage bush but targeting's pretty important in bloomstar defense six there's four different targeting options there's first there's last there's close and there's strong all of these are very very valuable and can increase your pop count not even just two-fold three-fold four-fold maybe even more than that it may seem ridiculous but on a round like 15 here our juggernaut's not doing very well at or spikapult not doing very well at all he popped some balloons but he definitely struggled quite a bit at least with this positioning if we were able to change him to last and we sent out round 15 well let's see how much better he does now every single tower is going to have a different targeting that they're going to be useful for but the general idea is that you have something that shoots down straight lines try to put them in a spot where you can shoot down straight lines and try to pop as many balloons as you can as you can tell we lose one life instead of the whopping or three lives instead of whopping like 50 lives that we lost last time in addition a couple other quick quick kind of tips is sniper usually goes on strong unless you're going for a shrapnel shot in which case he can go on first glue gunners usually go on strong or last because you want to put them usually closer to the front of the map and you want them to hit the strongest balloons that they can cannons could go on first or close or strong if you want to but close makes them miss just a little bit less and honestly it helps me out a lot when i do this and don't forget that a lot of other towers have weirder targeting things like the monkey ace who can go into different pathways make sure you're using the right one for you to help yourself out number five make sure you build it your forms guys cash is the way the world works it's the way that we can make this game happen and farms will always make you extra cash if you've got extra cash you've got extra pops and you will win this game so actually if you just kind of take a step back what does that look like to you it's nothing because i just made it up but generally speaking the best farms in the game are probably going to start you off with the 2-0 and then you can go wherever the heck you want you can either go for a third tier fourth year fifth tier top path or kind of just go for an easy marketplace which you don't have to gather anymore or if you want the quote-unquote most efficient farm you probably want to go for a monkey bank and then you want to deposit and take out the money as you see fit but this is obviously the most micro intensive way to do it so it's kind of like the middle path is the hardest to use the top path is the second hardest to use and the bottom path is easiest to use but that also means that this is the most efficient second most efficient and then least efficient with all of these upgrades i still usually recommend going the top path because you can usually get started with this kind of get your farm going and just build it to whatever the heck you want to build it into please please please make sure you're combining your towers in meaningful ways instead of ways that actually can make you attack worse what so one of the main culprits of this is definitely the ice tower there's a lot of really good spots for the ice tower in this game but it can make your other towers not very helpful at all so even at a fairly easy round like round 19 our ice tower is doing a great job by himself but he's not allowing our other towers to pop the balloons at all if you combine it with something else that can pop frozen balloons on the other hand for example like a red hot rangs with your boomerang here hubert uh you're going to do a lot better job popping these balloons and it's just going to generally go smoother take this a step further make sure that when you're playing higher tier rounds like when you get to moabs you're combining the towers in meaningful ways usually you want something that can pop the bow up very efficiently you want something that can either stall the balloon slow the balloons or get them ready to get popped over here and then you want something that can either clean up or just finish these guys off and this is just like the perfect idea combo strategy that just makes sense if you want to have something simple that can pop moabs and beyond number seven alchemists you have to understand how alchemists work if you want to be a good bcd sex player and they are extremely extremely complicated what you want to understand is that this and this all help but the main goal is to get to the berserker brew because it gives monkeys extra damage range attack speed and lasts a pretty good amount of time here berserker brew then if you're really up for if you want to spend that extra cash you want to go for a stronger stim because now it has an even more powerful effect on the target and it lasts even longer but to understand why we're alchemizing towers we have to understand how it works on the tower yes it increases just about everything of it but certain towers don't work well with your alchemist and why is that well it's because it's based on the amount of attacks that your tower does so we send out i don't know 300 you know uh pinks or something like that you're gonna see that this super monkey is going to attack pretty quickly here and i actually need to send out more than that send us some rainbows his alchemist is his alchemy is going to wear off pretty quickly here and then it takes a long time for us to get re-alchemized but if we have something like a sort of slow shooting boomerang over here instead he's going to get alchemized and then the alchemist uh the alchemy is going to stay there forever all right it's just going to last for a very very very long time and that's because it's based on attack speed the more you attack the more the alchemy is worn off so super duper fast shooting towers do not work well with the alchemist it's got to be a fairly fast shooting tower or a tower that shoots out a lot of projectiles which is probably the key to understanding the alchemist each attack is what really counts as an alchemist shot so if we have something like a tax shooter here we build something like a hot shots with more tax or even more attacks now our alchemist is going to be or our taxes going to be extremely powerful and last a long time if you see the amount of pops we get over here this is just absolute insanity we're powering this guy up and every single one of these projectiles is being buffed but it only counts as a shot shot shot shot so that's why this is really really good in addition towers that shoot multiple projectiles at the same time for example something like a 4 2 ninja can also be buffed for an extremely long amount of time so if you combine things that are really really good with your alchemist here you can even stop crazy amounts of rainbows here with very little effort now one other thing you should probably understand about the alchemist is that if you're going for a fourth here you should probably go for a four two zero but either one of them will actually be good a four two zero or a four zero two they're both very very useful a new concept to blue to start a fence six was the 3d aspect where they introduced walls to the game so that means that if you notice my sniper cannot see through these three hedges right here there's walls in the way that red means that we cannot shoot so even if we have uh a bunch of balloons coming out the sniper will not shoot them he should shoot them but he doesn't so we have to put the sniper in specific spots that are probably just good enough to pop the balloons but we should also understand which towers can see through walls so we're gonna go over some of the basic towers that can see through walls here and talk about whether or not they're even worth it hero wise adora is one of the best heroes in the game i still think she's probably my favorite of all time she can see through walls automatically and her attacks just kind of jump around and go through walls if you're looking for a hero that can see through walls she's the girl to go for again there are other heroes that could do it but she's just awesome spike factory is probably useless uh for seeing through walls but it can do it so all right another great one is gonna be your arcane spike or your archmage over here once you get these guys going oh boy you can see through walls and you can pop all damn balloons a really really weird one but also kind of useful is just to know that the alchemist can see through walls including with his brisket brew and stronger stim that'll help us power up other towers kind of in weird ways that we might not imagine in addition some of the military monkeys so you've actually got three military monkeys that can just basically see over walls or shoot over walls or just are over the walls so keep that in mind the heli pilot can automatically uh go over walls the monkeys can fly over walls as he sees fit and the mortar can obviously shoot over the walls because he's shooting a mortar in the air and it's exploding on impact so there are other towers that can kind of do this but these are like the general ones that for sure you need to know that these guys can see through walls and they do a really good job of it number nine abilities so in blue star defense six every single tower for their fourth tier middle path except for mortar is going to have an ability that you can use they're activated when you feel like it when you feel like you need your help so whenever you feel lucky you can press all of your abilities here and make them go live and you're going to get a ton of extra popping power a ton of extra help out of your tower when you need it the major issue with this is that generally speaking all of the rest of the upgrades when they're non-active are not that helpful so you do have to activate them and make sure that your other towers can work well with them to make these guys worthwhile all that being said one thing you're going to notice is that abilities have different levels of cooldown uh almost every ability has a different level of cooldown i can't tell you it i actually don't even know but you could tell that certain abilities are gonna come back a lot faster and you might think about using those a little bit more often because it's not gonna be about rng anymore it's going to be about your actual skill level in using the abilities properly uh the reason why i picked these five abilities in particular is because they are some of my favorite i highly recommend you check them out we've got the maelstrom which is great for balloons if you send out a crap ton of balloons you're gonna do a great job of bopping those guys the rocket storm once you get the monkey knowledge upgrades against stun balloons can stun mobs can stun bfb's and even can stun zomai gods it's absolutely insane and i highly recommend you check this guy out and he's good for balloon popping power too the summon phoenix this guy's great because he can pop camos he can hit all over the map and it's just a good amount of extra popping power in addition the summon phoenix is just already a really good tower so i think he's good i'm gonna skip the ninja for now and we're gonna go to the spike storm which is probably one of the most overlooked good abilities in the game it's great for popping moabs it's already got the moab spike aspect of it but it can also shoot out so many spikes that can pop tons of balloons one of the major things with this ability though is you want to make sure you have the bigger stacks upgrade in addition to the spike storm because the spike storm can literally be doubled in popping power with this bigger stacks if you don't get it you're losing on half of it that's rough last but not least we have to talk about the balloon sabotage which is only good for very very late game impoppable and chimps are probably the key ones that you want to use it on but it can slow down every single balloon on the screen for 15 seconds to half speed so if you want to double your popping power for 15 seconds this is the guy to do it for only five thousand dollars you can double your popping power that is ridiculous guys all the other towers added together works so much better when you use this guy and that's why he's not great at the beginning he's not even great in the middle game but if you're playing up to round 100 this is a key guy to use on around 98 99 100 and a few rounds maybe besides that to finish you guys off with number 10 i just want to show you guys some of my favorite towers in bloom star defense six things that i think people often overlook as some of the best towers that we should definitely be using on almost every map here these are great for middle game not necessarily great for the end game but this is perfect for people who want to learn how to play the game start beating hard and start to work their way up into the high 80s and 90s these are all great towers here so the first thing we're going to show off is actually the artillery battery with bigger blast and balloon buster this guy is the balloon master popper he pops so many regular balloons it is straight up ridiculous even if you send out hundreds of ceramics here we're gonna do so much popping power it's just straight up ridiculous now keep my mother towers are working together here but look at this pop count man it's crazy what we can do with this mortar here seriously crazy all right let's get rid of him because he makes kind of a lot of noise and talk about this guy down here so we're going to talk about the hydra rocket pods i think this is one of the best towers in the game as well it is unbelievably powerful but you do have to micro with it so for newer players it may not be the best thing ever but of course you got to get used to the game eventually so you want to get highest rocket pods or if you're feeling frisky get the rocket storm here as well it'll give you a ton of extra damage but you have to use it as an ability as well the dragon's breath wizard so this is a great all-around tower you can pop literally every time balloon besides camo purples and purple balloons usually you've got something else that can deal with purples by this point but this guy's overall really really good he's good against moabs good against balloons gonna get ceramics gonna get everything why wouldn't you get them and the wall of fire is unbelievably strong never underestimate that for popping balloons guys that one's great i also wanted to show you guys the blue jitsu monkey i've talked about this a little bit previously because he's just a really really good tower uh if you're gonna use him with a four four two or just four zero alchemist as well you're going to get so much popping power out of them you're going to be amazed you can even combine them and get two of them together which honestly is surprisingly overkill but still super good last but not least is probably my favorite tower in the game i still think he is rock solid in every single way lance baby you're amazing you got to get a 0 2 4 sniper that's a shrapnel shot sniper with fully auto rifle you can go up to lead defender if you want to but this guy is just solid all around in fact this tower in almost every map i believe can beat up to around 60. if you get elite defender all up to 60 by himself and for a little bit less money than that you get a fully auto rifle which just pops a ridiculous amount of blues never underestimate this guy but the weird thing about this guy is you do want to leave him on first not on strong if you leave him on strong you're gonna be a little upset with yourself you may end up popping a lot less blooms than you can imagine but he is just really really beefy and the greatest thing about him is he's got infinite range so it doesn't really matter where you put them in most situations except for places like the maze so of course if this video helped you guys out in any way pretty pretty please press
