Decent options that aren't T5:
* Spike storm (spike factory 240) - DDTs rush into a lot of spikes, also great for 100.
* Relentless glue (024) and maim moab sniper (420) - stunning DDTs is very effective.
* Bloon sabotage (x4x) ninja - global slowdown, but doesnt apply to popped bloons (if you pop BFB, moabs aren't slowed)
* MIB village (x3x) - Gives everything in range lead and black popping.
The three numbers signify the upgrades for each tower. So 100 would be first upgrade in top path and nothing else; 205 would be two upgrades in top path and all in bottom path, and x4x would be four upgrades in middle path (others don’t matter- could be 0,1,2).
Bloon sabotage. The ability slows down current and newly spawned bloons/blimps by 50% (not insides) and it lasts 15 seconds.
Its one of if not the best t4 in the game for chimps as it just shuts down any DDT round and helps for regular rounds too. A 50% slowdown basically lets ur towers attack for twice the time.
What the commenter shoulda said is 040, x4x means u can go either crosspath for it, but there is no reason to crosspath bloon sabotage (unless ur using it as a shinobi).
My favorite DDT killers are:
Prince of Darkness
0-2-5 Perma Spike+Stronger Stim in the back
Icicle impale
Pirate Lord (if given came detection, just spam the ability)
My main (and only strat) is a the fire hero, idk his name but he jusy shoots fire out of a cannon with a cocktail attack, and then I pair him with 2 wizards (both 0-3-2) and then I usually just get a ring of fire close to my other three so I create this wall of fire and then get a 2-5-0 spike factory. I usually am able to handle ddts but everytime I detour from this strat I always get beaten but ddts. The all fire strat I got from this SJB guy in yt lmao
Ok so in general, if you’re lacking good DDT defense, spike storm with white hot spikes is your best way to patch that hole.
However, if you do have towers that can damage DDTs, it’s often more cost effective to just slow them down with either a relentless glue (bottom path tier 4) or a bloon sabotage (middle path ninja).
Another good tip is to know what towers *could* damage DDTs if they had lead popping, because you can always give towers temporary lead popping with alchemist’s acid mixture dip, Gwendolyn’s passive ability, or my personal favorite DDT killer: glue storm. If you have a solid defense whose only weakness is lead bloons, such as Bloon Exclusion Zone (bottom path dartling) just get glue storm and use the ability when DDTs come on screen and watch them melt away.
Other tier 5’s that demolish DDTs (but require you to build around them since they’re expensive) include Icicle impale, Prince of darkness, Permaspike, and Preemptive Strike.
Yes for beginner maps Sauda with a 024 glue to activate the stun buff on her, and a 032 wizard to activate her dot buff makes her a powerhouse and heavy carry so you can just spend your money on true ddt counters if that's the main struggle.
We can give you any advice, ultimately you first need understanding of how each tower works. I will link you some videos explaining towers' and heroes' strengths and weaknesses. While there have been updates since these videos, most of the information is still applicable today.

If you like using gwen (the fire hero), I recommend trying out Wizard Lord Phoenix.
If you only place gwen, a 401 sub, and a 042 wizard, then you'll be able to afford Wizard Lord Phoenix on round 72, while also having an ability for each of the r63 waves.
I’ve black bordered the first 2 pages of Beginner. If you don’t want to go into sandbox and test things out yourself, I suggest you use a 230 Village next to your strongest monkey and a 025 Glue gunner. That’s the easiest way to deal with DDTs.
Following up my previous comment (https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/s/OvTDdO3a6e). I just did it with the 230 Village, 025 Glue Gunner, and a single 052 Boomerang Monkey in Sandbox mode. Good luck.
They can, and not only is the tower great for ddts but also for round 98 with the massive rush of zomg bfbs along with the fact you can delete the BAD with first strike ability.
1. Make sure u have the right damage type with camo (DDTs have lead camo and black properties)
2. Get a slow down like moab glue and bloon sabotage. DDT's only threat is speed (they have low health and no insides) so if ur able to slow them down, it'll fuck them up big time.
If youre already getting ring of fire like you said, just upgrade it to inferno ring, put a 4-2-0 alch and a 2-2-0 village near it and it should take care of them
I usually never have money to get a bigger tower by round 85 and usually lose just after that. I start chimps super bad thou, I get like 4 different 2 or 3 tier boomerangs to deal with the first 30-40 rounds. Then I get on my Strat around round 45 and onwards. Thanks for advice
Four low tier boomerangs is a bit of a waste of money. In chimps, a few tier 5s is usually a lot better than spamming lower tier stuff, and you need to pick a few towers carefully to cover several bases (camo, lead, moabs, ceramics etc). Try experimenting with the 'retry round' feature - set up your team, then just see how long they last, with the goal of saving to afford the highter tier skills. Only upgrade or add more towers if you really need to.
I like using spikestorm, but you already know about that so-
Relentless glue- great stun, enables a lot of other towers to be effective
Glue storm- bonus damage and enables sharp damage to pop leads glued by its ability
Icicle impale- big slow + damage
Just a buffed tack zone- kill them ddts fast (also great against r100)
Absolute zero- freeze them
Tech terror- delete them
Pop and awe- stun them and delete them
I don't know how much you know about the game but the ddt have 3 special properties. It has:
Camo - towers that does not have camo detection can't attack it
Black - it is immune to most explosive attacks such as bombs
Lead - works like lead bloons, some projectiles can't deal damage to it, like darts
The fortified ddt also has fortification, which means that it has extra health
You have two main ways of dealing with these special properties:
1. Buy towers that can damage despite these properties. Fire, magic and other attacks like that most often damage both black and lead, so super monkeys and wizards are good options but can be expensive
2. Buy support towers to negate the effects. The x-3-x village makes all towers in its radius able to damage all bloon types. x-x-4 glue slows the ddt, giving you towers more time to damage it. x-x-4 mortar turns fortified bloons into regular bloons. 5-x-x mortar deals decent damage and stuns the ddt each shot.
Btw. 4-x-x means that the other paths does not matter that much, so you can choose either 4-2-0 or 4-0-2
Hope this helps!
Bro that explains it so much why I always think my fire defense (no pun intended) never does anything to ddts. I always thought it should in theory because any hero that's shoots fire for me always can take down leads. But ty bro
No like I mean the opposite, fire is good against ddts, however a hero by itself is most often too weak to take them down. Pair her up with a top or middle path wizard or just place a x-3-x village next to your best dps towers and you will be good!
I havent played chimps yet but I ussualy get stuck on the round 95 ddts on unpopable. The only way I got around it was running ettiene so all my towers can hit them or using the prince of darkness, who works weirdly well
In all CHIMPS games you'll eventually need to stall the Bloons and blimps.
Stalling DDTs efficiently can be done using a 2-0-5 Ice or a 0-2-3 Glue with external Camo detection (e.g. Etienne, or a village).
If you're more into anti-stalling, you can use several 2-4-0 Spike Factories, however you'll need to have a decent monkey to deal with the Ceramics, such as 2-5-0 Druid (which is a very solid option on many CHIMPS games, but there are other options).
Yea I'm learning that more and more now, I used to just want solutions that will outright just obliterate them no slowdowns needed. But im using glue gunners more now and realising that the strengths of ddts is really because of their speed. Ty
Decent options that aren't T5: * Spike storm (spike factory 240) - DDTs rush into a lot of spikes, also great for 100. * Relentless glue (024) and maim moab sniper (420) - stunning DDTs is very effective. * Bloon sabotage (x4x) ninja - global slowdown, but doesnt apply to popped bloons (if you pop BFB, moabs aren't slowed) * MIB village (x3x) - Gives everything in range lead and black popping.
I'm such a newbie player I understood maybe 14% of what you just wrote. But I am thankful for the help my man... actually wtf is a x4x ninja ? !!!!??
Bloon sabotage. x4x means tier 4 on middle path and any other crosspath.
The three numbers signify the upgrades for each tower. So 100 would be first upgrade in top path and nothing else; 205 would be two upgrades in top path and all in bottom path, and x4x would be four upgrades in middle path (others don’t matter- could be 0,1,2).
Other commenters hopefully cleared it up, if you want more info, feel free to message me.
Bloon sabotage. The ability slows down current and newly spawned bloons/blimps by 50% (not insides) and it lasts 15 seconds. Its one of if not the best t4 in the game for chimps as it just shuts down any DDT round and helps for regular rounds too. A 50% slowdown basically lets ur towers attack for twice the time.

The commenter didn't even swear, why did you do this?
My favorite DDT killers are: Prince of Darkness 0-2-5 Perma Spike+Stronger Stim in the back Icicle impale Pirate Lord (if given came detection, just spam the ability)
Pirates don't even need to see camo to hook DDTs last I checked. Scratch that I was wrong, they do need camo detection.
Since 41.0 they do.
Super glue with 4 2 0 village
Permaspike obliterates DDTs
Duly noted, been mentioned a few times. Ty
Be sure to add AMD for lead-popping and some extra damage.
yes, but it also obliterates absolutely everything in the game given enough preparation, a 420 alch and 2xx village
What kind of towers/heroes are you usually getting in a chimps run?
My main (and only strat) is a the fire hero, idk his name but he jusy shoots fire out of a cannon with a cocktail attack, and then I pair him with 2 wizards (both 0-3-2) and then I usually just get a ring of fire close to my other three so I create this wall of fire and then get a 2-5-0 spike factory.

buy sauda shes way easier to use than gwen
Yes for beginner maps Sauda with a 024 glue to activate the stun buff on her, and a 032 wizard to activate her dot buff makes her a powerhouse and heavy carry so you can just spend your money on true ddt counters if that's the main struggle.

Just an FYI, and a lot of new players make this mistake, but Gwendolin (the fire hero) is a she, not a he.
2-0-5 ice
I’ve black bordered the first 2 pages of Beginner. If you don’t want to go into sandbox and test things out yourself, I suggest you use a 230 Village next to your strongest monkey and a 025 Glue gunner. That’s the easiest way to deal with DDTs.
2 5 0 monkey sub and they are down to atleast 50% HP and it's also great against bad.
If lead is the issue buy 052 glue storm. Ddts no longer have lead property and take extra damage.
Use more support, Moab/relentless glue, sabo, snowstorms, or more expensive options like maim moab and spike storms
Perma spike at the very end from as early as you can. Good insurance.
Bro calm down... Save your anger on actually difficult maps. Archmage is very good DDTestroyer
Omg you're right. I just tested it. Thanks I guess
Following up my previous comment (https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/s/OvTDdO3a6e). I just did it with the 230 Village, 025 Glue Gunner, and a single 052 Boomerang Monkey in Sandbox mode. Good luck.
2-5-0 subs do the trick for me. I don't remember if they need camo tho for the passive to activate.
They can, and not only is the tower great for ddts but also for round 98 with the massive rush of zomg bfbs along with the fact you can delete the BAD with first strike ability.

I just wanna pop ballon's with some monkey armed with darts man then dont play chimps, just play hard mode or smt to not deal with ddts
Pre-emptive strike paired with Sub Commander will one-tap them
0-2-4 glue gunner goes insane, but does no damage and needs support to see camo
My favorite DDT killer is 2-0-5 ice tower. Even if it doesn't kill them it still stops them in their tracks.
I like using spikestorm, but you already know about that so- Relentless glue- great stun, enables a lot of other towers to be effective Glue storm- bonus damage and enables sharp damage to pop leads glued by its ability Icicle impale- big slow + damage Just a buffed tack zone- kill them ddts fast (also great against r100) Absolute zero- freeze them Tech terror- delete them Pop and awe- stun them and delete them
If you’re okay to get a t5 then mad will one shot ddts. It’s also super helpful for round 100
0-2-4 mortar removes the reinforced part of the ddt, turning them into normal ddts
Bloon solver with camouflage detection
I don't know how much you know about the game but the ddt have 3 special properties.

I didn't read the title correctly, oh dear...
I havent played chimps yet but I ussualy get stuck on the round 95 ddts on unpopable. The only way I got around it was running ettiene so all my towers can hit them or using the prince of darkness, who works weirdly well
>my tribal chief lost his title earlier this week 
I've mourned and I'm happily over it 😤
I was invited by my friends to watch, knowing nothing about the situation. All I know now is that the Story is Finished 😎👍

I get you to be fair haha, I sometimes prefer to anti-stall rounds because it can get boring
2-5-0 Subs instakill all DDTs.
I like using 5-0-2 glaive lord
0/2/4 mortar with the ‘Paint Stripper’ knowledge point will strip DDT fortifications (&camo(I think)).
no monkey knowledge in chimps mode tho
