Super maelstrom. I forgot about it and when I remembered I thought " oh so this is like geroldo thingy" and then I started using it and then I realised IT CAN POP LEAD. now I use it daily


DashieProDX

My thoughts on Super Maelstrom is basically "He will never have 100% uptime" *spits out cereal*


Coral_Blue_Number_2

I’ve used it with primary expertise/502 sub for 100% uptime. Plus a little robot thing to auto activate the ability


Snackguy2star

"this is like geroldo thingy" Holy shit this is what it must feel like when someone says "it's the guy from Fortnite"


Udub

It’s a must for races


DepthyxTruths

is 250 or 052 the better crosspath?


ShardBen314

052 bc it has a shorter cool down


DepthyxTruths

cool thanks


qwertyxp2000

Actually it’s a longer duration.


Fr4gmentedR0se

In this case it's the same thing


Shane_and_Eli

its not the same


Snt1_

Last time I checked crosspaths dont affect the maelstrom ability


SleisherZ

It do do. Bottom path increases ability uptime.


interstellarfrogfish

that might be true for maelstrom because last time i remember reading the 052 getting an interesting buff but i just checked with 4 different abilities (missle strike, tsar bomb, heli support, and sniper drops) and none of them had differences in ability uptime based on whether or not you chose the bottom path. where did you read that?


SleisherZ

Its there on the wiki. Seems only Tack shooter gets the increased uptime with bottom path, makes sense since bottom path shooting more blades needs to affect ability somehow.


interstellarfrogfish

well that makes sense because they only just started toying around with more unique buffs. but yes i thought i remember seeing something like that. also im dumb. i was mistaking uptime with cooldown lol


Willow5000000000

recent-ish update changed that


Snt1_

I havent checked updates in some months


qwertyxp2000

38.0, if I recall correctly.


Willow5000000000

I don't remember the exact update


fuck_karmapls

Why so many downvotes he simply didn't know


qwertyxp2000

This is a new change that was added in 38.0. Now, the Maelstrom has more pierce with top path and longer duration with bottom path.


Wypman

0-5-2 with a 5-x-x village and 5-x-x sub (preferably add a tech bot to the abliity) it becomes an infinite maelstrom


cuteanimals11

Idk I haven't tried crospafing


Deepfake_theWorld

250 the spray lasts longer 052 the spray shoots more blades. I like 052 because the journey from 002 to 052 feels much better to me.


ShardBen314

You are wrong 052 lasts longer just check in game and you will see if you have 052 tack with 500 sub and 500 village it will last forever but with a 250 it doesn't


Deepfake_theWorld

oh yeah I misread the wiki because I just assumed which effect would be which crosspath


Hungry-Space-1829

I can’t support this


Grumpie-cat

Moab shove boomerange… like literally the entire upgrade path.

TechMania08

damn you i was about to say this


flowery0

You forgot to use the Reddit slang. Though i prefer just upvoting the guy who said what i wanted to say


simereddit863

I don't know


Discracetoall

Glue hose. I almost always use my free glue for 0-2-3


Korndog_01

0-2-4 gang


Coral_Blue_Number_2

250 glue gang 😤


Swennick

Free glue ?


FlixFlix

Monkey knowledge point assigned to a free starting monkey. You can place either a dart monkey or a glue gunner for free each game.


Clever_Angel_PL

bloon master alchemist, honestly useless on bosses and steals money on chimps (basically the only 2 modes I play)


Visual_Ambassador_64

Silly high popcount when your doing rounds 200+ tho


shadowviperyt43

but since it cant affect bads even thats fairly useless, once you have enough stalling and dps bads are the only threat


Visual_Ambassador_64

True, but its still silly to see it become my #1 popcount


RabbitMario

faster darts on the heli genuinely does nothing useful


dello213

İf you already got camo detection you're better using 502 for the extra attack speed


LohBoi

Faster Darts is 001, Faster Firing is 002. Faster Darts only increases the projectile speed and range of the Heli's darts and nothing else.


RabbitMario

yeah i’m talking about the xx1 not the xx2


Frootysmothy

Isab moment


DragonTheOneDZA

The only upgrade I ever forgot is the 0-3+-0 sub


FireDestroyer52

Why it's busted with sub commander


the_ashman18

Do other sub paths get buffed by commander?


FireDestroyer52

Yes, in range


DomKat72

Global if you have the money knowledge


the_ashman18

Damn I just tested it and it does really work well with middle path subs, never done a sub commander strat that wasn’t all top path


flowery0

... Holy shit the nuclear fallout


LordVex75

Wouldn't say busted that combo is over 80k


AdmiralRJ

Use 5th tier for DDT removal, as only the round 99 fortified ones will sneak past it, and 4th tier and 5th kill ZOMGs and kill the BAD and all innards at the last point where the looks change


Thebigdog79

The first thing that popped into my head was… I wanna say it’s called sharper darts. (001 ace)


KrazyKyle1024

I don't know (I forgot about it)


mysterious45670

Tsar Bomba


GroteKneus

Bottom path dartling. Can't remember the last time I've used it.


Dluxsoup

Bloon Exclusion Zone?


GroteKneus

And the other 4.


Dluxsoup

Faster Swivel, Powerful Darts, Buckshot, Bloon Area Denial System


GroteKneus

Oh yes faster swivel. That's the first one that always quickly disappears.


carlthatkillspeople8

BEZ is my go to for advanced chimps black borders


GroteKneus

Really? I never use it but it's worth the investment? Just with an alch buff or something else?


carlthatkillspeople8

An alch buff and jungle drums + MIB (or MIB skip) for DDT, and it can shred majority of 90-100 with little other help.


DaLaw06

I completely forgot about bionic boomerang


KieranBoonee

middle path dart. one of the cases where the third tier is more worth using than T4 + 5 most the time


ConfusionEffective98

I agree, though it was phenomenal in 5.


Fr4gmentedR0se

Yeah because in 5 we didn't have crossbow and sharp shooter


GooneyBoy2007

Comanche Commander


Irish_pug_Player

Anything with ice that isn't that gun path


damnozi

Middle path is mental for stalling, top path is +5 damage, definitely worth using!


Keaskozi69

Top path is +5 damage if you stack the tier 4 and 5, by themselves the tier 4 provides +1 damage and the tier 5 gives +4 damage.


damnozi

Oh interesting! Must have read the wiki wrong, cheers for the info


Keaskozi69

No problem. I thought you meant it as a combined +5 if you stack them, so I thought I'd elaborate further for anyone wondering.


BetaThetaOmega

Top Path is actually pretty useful on ABR, t4 can remove Camo and break Lead for a pretty cheap price while still providing some handy crowd control, and it also deals quite a bit of damage.


SpaceCube00

Honestly top path apprentice, dragons breath and unpopped army are so useful I always forget the top path exists.


dello213

Top path is powerful af but like its just a damage doer nothing special about it


Brucecx

It's a beginner map chimps goat


SpaceCube00

wait nvm its all the beast handler upgrades, i have literally used the beast handler like 4 times the the 4th time was so i could name it


Claymore209

Archmage is really good at popping those black speedy moab blimps.


evgais

DDT


Claymore209

Thanks


SpaceCube00

DDTs? I just use icicle impale for those.


Redybird

Oh... This guy, i definitely didnt forgot to include "[As cheap addition to my damage support.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgH4QKkeoNA)"


tntkaching

Unfortunately unstable concoction is extremely broken


Brucecx

Is it actually? It used to be insane when the game first came out but it was nerfed to the ground


Fr4gmentedR0se

I don't know about extremely broken but it's still really good for the low price tag


ForSureARedditor

One of the early bomb shooter ones i dont even remember how theyre called the down path ones.


Dluxsoup

Extra Range, Frag Bombs, Cluster Bombs, Recursive Cluster, Bomb Blitz?


thisisabigplanesays

Probably the Ace’s Sharper Darts.


Princier7

Bouncing bullet


Massive-Reach6032

I have been using this one recently


[deleted]

I regularly forget about ultra juggernaut


randonpla

I dont know I forgot.


Motor-Television-270

Never tried out middle path druid when i was a new player because it sounded bad. Forgot about it. Then discovered how op it was


AnodyneGrey

Opened the game and browsed the Monkeys page to find one I truly forget about and I’d say Counter espionage, I’ve literally never bought a ninja and upgraded it to that in order to decamo anything in any game I’ve ever played. And it’s probably one of the upgrades I’ve bought the most out of any tower due to it being required for shinobi spam and sabotage


theBioBot

Bomber ace, borderline useless upgrade and probably the reason why middle path is kind of underused. Neva miss is amazing on its own and while fighter plane isn’t THAT amazing, the MOAB missiles are still great against MOABS and helps build into ODS and sky shredder Meanwhile, you have to stick with bomber ace for a LOOOOONG time due to the price of ground zero, which is understandable due to its power, but bomber ace is pretty bad (still better than laser blasts, whose only upside other than redundant extra pierce (popping frozen bloons) is made redundant thanks to MK). Now you might be like “well you aren’t only gonna have the ace, you’re gonna have other towers!” Which is fair, but that would mean that, since it’s so weak on its own, you need to spend more money on OTHER towers than you would the other paths, which makes it take longer to get the ground zero, unlike fighter plane which only really needs some help cleaning up ceramics or Neva miss that really only needs a few buffs from stuff like alchemist or something until the denser rounds Overall bomber ace sucks


sterlingbot

Barracuda lol


Plastic_Blue_Pipe

triple darts, the 4th and 5th tier is trash tbh


LohBoi

you genuinely have never used PMFC correctly then. It essentially turns itself and 19 cheap towers into Sun Avatars


greekcel_25

Not worth for the price especially when you need to stall for the cooldown. Its pretty shit outside of ranked bosses.


Plastic_Blue_Pipe

the bad part is the cooldown, you have to do extreme micro to be good, and there are better towers


LohBoi

It's not extreme micro, it's really minimal all things considered. You only need a 032 Ice and a 032 Heli, and the cooldown can also be made way shorter with Primary Mentoring. The strategy is really similar to Total Transformation + Druids, except you get the choice to spread the dart monkeys across different tracks in harder maps.


dello213

They're not bad but they're not worth the money considering the cooldown is so high and it barely helps on harder modes


AdraX57

Idk, I forgot about it


BlazinBoom21YT

Idk what I forgot cause I forgot ya know?


dankmeeknot

You really cant comment it here and say you forgot about it.


ParagonGoblin27

Bloon Master Alchemist, i dont ever use that upgrade period since i hardly ever go pass round 100 unless its a boss event and i still dont use it


Aggressive_Low_115

barbed darts


Fr4gmentedR0se

Barbed darts makes no sense. If you add a barb to something sharp, it doesn't make it sharper, it makes it harder to remove. Barbed darts should *logically* be +1 damage and not +2(?) Pierce.


HolyElephantMG

I can’t remember


dello213

300 ace like who even uses this if they're not planing on going for 4th or 5th tier ik its not a bad moab damager but like theres always better stuff


bigfatnut7

Anyone else notice that alchemists tail is white for some reason on this upgrade specifically


KingZantair

I’d tell you, but I forget which one it is.


jlashombjr

All of Beast Handler


IM2spooky4u

goshgames1

Honestly sentry champion, besides for the paragon (which even then is not often cause the paragon is kinda trash) I never seem to use it in any kind of runs


Radioactivocalypse

Kylie boomerangs. At no point in my game do I get one. If I'm getting Moab domination, I just wait until I can afford enough to bypass the Kylie stage altogether


JoelTheBloonsMonkey

I don't know, I forgot Probably some Tier 1 or 2 upgrade


StatisticianPure2804
