BTD5: Which Towers Can Beat MASTERY IMPOPPABLE Solo 

I gotcha bro and I appreciate you responding 🙏

That's a great point I didn't really consider that while working on the challenge

Yeah it does when i got distraction on my ninja monkeys i accidently made a regrow farm and died

​@@myvalekcz6656I have a strat with only ninja (4-2) and village (2-3)and I don't die at round 76 and 79 dartling is worse

Also early game with wizzard

I'm so glad to hear that, and I really appreciate you!

Lol

Me neither lol

Even though it was only a few it is definitely cool to know!

That is a great idea!

So unfortunately, FastTrack doesn't work on Mastery Mode, but I'll definitely do a version where I use CheatEngine to test all the towers that failed because of a money issue

I could definitely do a follow up with towers that you can't afford on round 1 and towers that normally fail because of camo detection

Please do it makes these videos way more interesting ​@@Phenomix

I've heard that the long range for bomb towers isn't even a good ability either because it leads to them missing more often. I really appreciate you sharing all this information, it's always cool learning new stuff about a game you really enjoy

ay, thanks david! and, yeah, Sabotage Supply Lines, as well as most ability upgrades in BTD5, do absolutely nothing to the base tower, Battles added a bunch of stuff but it never got ported back to BTD5. the only x/4s that actually affect the base tower in anything beyond a visual way are - Tech Terror, upgrades from Robo as follows: -- 0/4: attack cooldown 0.04 -> 0.012 (effectively 0.05 buffable -> 0.017 unbuffable, due to each "tick" in game being 1/60th of a non-fastforwarded second, no optimization to smooth things out), pierce 3 -> 5, projectile speed _nerfed_ 720 -> 500, projectile cutoff distance _nerfed_ 400 > 210. oh, and uh, arm firing positions shifted 7 units outward. -- 1/4: Laser Blasts upgrades Robo (+1 pierce, 5 total) but not Tech Terror (5 pierce). -- 2/4: +1 pierce to both Robo (5) and TT (6), -0.028571428 attack cooldown, so 0.0114 for Robo and 0 for TT (effectively 0.017 unbuffable for both) -- tldr: 2/4 gets +1 pierce and slower, less-travelling projectiles compared to 2/3. 0/4 and 1/4 are identical, with identical strength to 2/3 but its projectiles are slow and travel less far, and are fired from further to the side. - Summon Phoenix: firing position shifted up 5 units. Wow! - MIB Call to Arms: +25 passive buff range. (...the CTA ability only has the range of a 0/0 Village) - Banana Investments Advisory: literally not even an ability upgrade, description says it all) - Artillery Battery: total cooldown 1.61 -> 0.52, slightly more than 3x attack speed. - Bloon Area Denial System: triple projectiles, projectile speed _nerfed_ 1225 -> 875, projectile cutoff _nerfed_ 1250 -> 1000 (both well more than full screen travel, difference is unobservable), explosion range _nerfed_ 60 -> 50, MaxTargets (AoE "pierce", never buffable) _nerfed_ 40 -> 23. note: ability rockets have 1000 speed, but are otherwise identical to the base BADS rockets. - First Strike: dart firing positions shift 4 units outward and 2 units up, missile firing position shifts 11 units down. riveting.

And it still is lol

I definitely will try that eventually and you're right, that would make them more powerful than lock in place

That makes sense, and honestly, upgraded 4,2's are probably more powerful than 2,3's

from what i recall, it's actually the uppermost dart monkeys, not the newest ones

I think you're right about the distraction upgrade so I'm definitely gonna test it again

@@Phenomixalso you never used the specialty ability. The shadow clone literally doubles the dps

Yeah that definitely makes sense, the overall damage per second is better with lower tier mortars most likely

That's really cool I appreciate you watching both parts!

That's a great point for sure

I'm pretty certain they can't really do much based on my previous testing on regular Impoppable. The bomb fires much more slowly than the fire ball from the destroyer

I'm thinking I'll do a separate video testing them all with the exact amount of starting money they need

As always, the 2,3 dart monkey reigns surpreme

Thank you so much!

That's really interesting I wonder if having them back there made them more effective somehow

That's really awesome! How have you been enjoying it so far?

Thank you so much for leaving this comment, it really means a ton!

What was your strategy?

@@Phenomix 0-0 Mortar spam and Pop & Awe micro

It's definitely an S tier tower!

That's a good point I probably was wasting money by doing that.

There definitely is a chance it could work and I should've tried that, I honestly didn't even realize I could've afforded it until I was voicing over the footage

Fr tho

I can definitely try more alternatives to make sure I didn't miss anything

@@Phenomix I forget btw, is double cash enabled or disabled for this?

That's kinda my whole channel haha

Hmm

Thank you!

@@Phenomix no problem I guess...

Nah I wouldn't use that unless it was specified

I could definitely try that for my next video

Hi jericho Edit: I saw you comment on my reactor video and if u subbed, thanks I appreciate it your support!

Thanks for commenting!
