How Fast Can You Black Border In The Loop in BTD6? 

Accountant here, for your excel question highlight all of the cells in your list and then apply a filter (should be an option at the top of the page). Then you can filter largest to smallest by the time column, and the names should follow.

EASY standard - 3:15 EASY primary only - 7:54 EASY deflation - 11:24 MEDIUM standard - 15:17 MEDIUM military only - 21:12 MEDIUM apopalypse - 26:01 MEDIUM reverse - 32:31 HARD standard - 39:12 HARD magic monkeys only - 46:24 HARD double hp moabs - 53:24 HARD half cash - 1:01:09 HARD alternate bloons rounds - 1:09:09 HARD impoppable - 1:16:29 HARD chimps - 1:25:15

Two things, I started my black border journey from this series, doing my own strategies for each map. And two, I do indeed know what a pez dispenser is my good sir

I’m loving this series so much! As someone just getting into Bloons again since it was part of my childhood, it’s been fun having this be both entertaining and a bit of a guide on ways to beat things I might struggle with some!

If you format all of your data as a table you can then order it by one of the columns! Hope this helps

+1 for variety at the expense of speed! The "speed run" aspect is definitely secondary to me

Hey! 31:22 the reason your sauda won’t place her swords is because the bloons are actually on the screen yet. IE: try using her swords on a ZOMG coming out of spawn. It won’t let you put her swords down on it until it’s over halfway visible :D

I love the longer intros I think its good to explain whats going on and where your thoughts are with monkey knowledge and give a game plan of what your thinking for the map youll be playing on!

Im not even super interested in Btd6, but just listening to you talking about it is so nice and just keeps me watching for the full video.

I'm been really enjoying tis series so far! Another note for your strategies, early game is usually better to focus on saving time than late game, because you will still need time to pop bloons late game no matter what, while that isn't really the case for early game. That's why Sauda is pretty much always the best in speedruns.

14:40 Actually the 502 sniper monkey destroys double hp moabs. I find that the power of this sniper is op. Of course the 520 sniper works as well, but I personally think that the 502 sniper is the better choice here.

Great video! I think your stories are a good thing, it gives people something to listen to other then mindless popping sounds. I'd still like to see my boy Etienne. On your bank issue, You can crosspath with the bottom and the bank will collect itself when its full. I use a funny combo for at least round 40 on easy and medium, it's a sticky bomb(bottom path ninja) and a sentry expert (top path engineer).

6:13 fun fact: Pez dispensers are still going strong. At least in Canada. I’m not sure how much they’ve survived in other countries.

Man, more updates means more maps for you to do and for us to enjoy. I love this series

In The Loop. a place where you can buy ramen, milk tea and watch a movie with popcorn all while popping balloons

Ngl idk why im here but i cant stop watching, ive binged all of these and i dont even play this game.

The fact that you exist while being sub-perfect PHYSICALY PAINS ME

for hotkeys: so that you don't have to click the upgrade buttons is "," (top) "." (middle) and "/" (bottom) also for abilities they are your number keys from left to right, so for example if Sauda get to level 3 before you get another ability then "leaping sword" will be "1"

Sauda goes insane for 2TC almost any map. Hard suggest you try that out for one of these. Also possibly the 2Megapops where you get 2 million + pops on a single tower in chimps

I love your content. The fact that you just say your entire stream of consciousness is exactly what I love watching.

This is my favorite series on RU-vid atm, I’m so happy to have a new one to watch while I’m in bed today 🥰

Man I really enjoy this playthroughs, your voice is a great company to listen to while I'm working, amazing content, I follow you from Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

I feel like having the "working on strats" part of things as another video - like "Preparing To Black Border Workshop" or something - could be a really interesting change of pace for the series

Pro tip for Deflation: A 202 Village, 230 Sniper, 024 Sniper and 420 Alchemist (all units within range of the village) can take down through round 60 with enough to get a hero if you get it before upgrading. Plus is THE fastest way to get through that mode that I've found and tested, takes about 5 1/2 minutes.

To sort the whole zone, there is usually a sub option called "Sort selected zone by Column [Choose a column, in your case, time]". I don't remember at the moment exactly where it is, but it should be approximately at the same place. Maybe on the right click on a column once you've selected a zone.

This guy is actually insane like how do you beat all these mode without a tutorial I have so much respect for this guy your a great RU-vidr

As someone with Autism and OCD, I literally will skip meals and living life for days to fix things that are broken

This man deserves more subs. What a legend, keep up the good work!

You should absolutely 2TC one of the maps. It'll hurt that map's time, but if you can weave achievements in with these black borders, you'll get extra monkey money AND this series could be a full guide on not just black bordering all maps, but also getting all afchievements you can get from just playing the maps. Plus, 2TC just gives you huge style points.

For the excel thing select the numbers first then drag over your cursor to highlight the track names so when you click on the sort button it will say "sort smallest to largest number" and that way it will sort both the fastest times along with keeping the track names in the correct spot

I have a couple tips you can maybe use -sauda and a 032 wizard can solo until the 50s -2 240 spactories are very effective at popping the bad if your defense doesn't have great single target -place 4 snipers,get Ben, get 2 snipers to 204 and one to 024 and one to 025, with a 230 to beat 59 and you can beat all the medium modes on every single map in the game(tested) -025 dart and 520 tack under a 420 village are a very effective chimp strategy since you like primaries so much -if you get Geraldo and place a bunch of dart monkeys and use the cape on them you can stack 032 or 230 supers under a single village, and maybe even get triple discount on all of them Love the series btw!

Honestly, I’ve used the glue gunner the most on beginner maps and it has failed me the least. It’s good for early leads and blacks, helps with popping in early game, and allows me to get Ben in the early game. I tend to sell it later if I need to though

I was legit checking if you had uploaded this like 30min ago, i love this serie. Ive been looking for this since sunday

56:40 this is why I would recommend using 0-3-2 bank path, it will generate you money slower however it will auto-collect so it still gets you a ton and you can speedrun.

Loving this series, im gonna watch this to sleep at thursday. Continue on man!

I'd do the farm MK line then work on either military or hero MK. Love this series so much lol. Preciate it Joel!

I think that thing with Leaping Sword not activating was explained by a comment on a previous video. The bloons need to actually make it onto the track before they can be targeted by the ability. Your druid was basically spawn camping the bloons and popping them at the entrance before the ability could.

u should add splits to ur live split so we can see in real time what pace ur on compared to other maps, itd be neat to see!

I DEFINITELY started rushing the MOAB damaged as soon as I got Mo Money done. That tree is EXPENSIVE, but on Half Cash it will be invaluable to me. This map was VERY easy and enjoyable to black border, and I was excited to do it before finishing Middle of the Road after the update. Definitely my favorite map so far. Thanks again for the videos! I enjoy watching them and following along. Let's get to scrapyard!

One of my favorite series atm. Awesome videos! I wait anxiously for the next video every time

That Map Order Is DISGUSTING Because Of In The Loop

A good and fast deflation strategy that works on (almost) every map is: Two 0-0-2 villages 0-2-4 sniper and 4-2-0 alch both in range Sell one village and upgrade the other to 2-0-2

You can't use Sauda's ability unless the bloons are far enough on the screen

Loving your videos! Havent been playing as actively since last I posted here (Birthday came and went like a storm haha) But I am level 128 with 12,657 Monkey Money on Xbox. Haven't done any more chimps, been trying to work on some of the other achievements, like moving towers 1,000 times (Seriously why) and Possibly Sapper too.

Hearing you talk about pez, and bugs bunny; really just hits the nail in the head how old we've become.

For next time maybe you can give some love to first path druid or second path boomerang? I'd like to see the icicles ice you mentioned too, anyways keep it up!

This series that just randomly popped up on my feat actually made me buy BTD6. Also your videos are very nice to fall asleep to.

The mortar with the fortify stripping ability always ends up having like 200k pops by round 100, and I usually don’t get that ability until 50-60ish. I agree that they’re not the best, but I do love the fortification stripping mortar monkey

Sauda and Ben are my favorite heroes by far so I think it depends on the map for which hero I should use. If I have one that is mostly straight lines I prefer Ben just to get more cash but with maps that loop back over themselves, Sauda is by far on top!

you're getting better each black border video because you unlock more monkeys,monkey upgrades and momkey knolage Edit: Sauda and ben also help with the time

I never liked mortars even back in BTD4 but I started using them and they're really good. Artillary battery is good for MOAB class bloons and the top path is the best tower in the game for ceramics imho

To answer your Excel question, highlight your data. Then on the Insert ribbon, click Table. Click OK on the Create Table window. Then click on the down arrow next to the column name you want to sort by and select "Sort Smallest to Largest". To add a new row, just start typing on the next row and it will auto add it to the table. You'll then just need to click that arrow and sort again after a new entry. That's as simple of a walk though for sorting I think you can give.

Some notes 1. 200 Sub with 010 Sniper can see everything 2. 042 Mortar's ability can deal with small MOABs. 420 Mortar, 042 Mortar, and 024 Mortar are an underrated combo. stunning, revealing, and weakening balloons for a 025 Sniper to clear. If you're still having issues with MOABs, 402 Sniper set to strong will cripple MOABs

31:00 Must be a new Sauda glitch, I also encountered that recently. For some reason, if you press the ability within, i dont know, 2-3 seconds of being active, it just... doesnt work?

i recommend getting a 0-2-5 alchemist for the 100 round modes with a 2-2-0 village at the front . the village is also clutch for taking down camo leads early on (with other towers of course) i always use it in my strats the alchemist is so good for the later rounds

The most crazy thing about those vidéo , that he can speak for 3hour straigh and never stop that amazing

Another wonderful vid man. Keep it up

Ran Sauda + Laser BEZ on a custom map the night 39.0 came out (Lost on 98 because Pierce) Winning setup with Pat + Super Maelstrom + Pex + Super Brittle with some slowdowns That was the hardest CHIMPS map I did so far since I have only done single lane maps up to that point and it was a 2 laned map

I personally do 4-0-1 ninja and alchemist for deflation mode. Leaves you with about 10k money leftover for other towers too. Idk if it’s good for the speed though

The Pez tangent. Am I really that boomer that I know what Pez & Bugs Bunny are off-hand?

Love the series, i think u should open all of the upgrades in the start of the episode before u start the speedrun than u will not waste time

Get 2/3 cost for 1st military monkey Knowledge next imo. 14:30 its 90% MOAB health 15:00 that is far from "gross" 17:30 then stop farming on anything other than impoppable. You could just buy defense instead, you really don't notice the difference in money until you get to Impoppable or bosses. 19:38 Big One and Biggest One actually do more Damage with Burning stuff after the buffs than with faster firing. 28:35 yes there is, Deflation to round 100, and Apopolypse to round 100 are both achievements AND Yes you should 2TC for Logs with your OG strat with PoD + RoD 32:00 its a trigger of when he loses lifes he gets an Attack Speed bonus, that trigger has a delay, the MK gets rid of the delay to re-trigger 33:00 what delay??? they are attacking the same time Sauda is? 35:05 if you're gonna complain about the Alch buff, then stop using it for lead; you refuse to use a 120 sniper to take care of your lead issue pre 90. or a 230 sub 49:30 why don't you just get a 021 ninja for deco purples 50:10 "X-Ray Ultra" allows Ultravision to see through Walls, "Strike down the Faithless" allows Sun Avatars to pop purples. 54:00 you keep getting stuck up on basically irrelevent time losses. You're not trying for World Records, quite beating yourself up for a few seconds here and there. These are guides, if you're gonna use bottom path farms b/c they work better for you, then don't worry about a few sec time 'loss" here and there, just be safe and win 58:20 you can use those farms for Flooded Valley, but you need to use the 4th tiers upgrades as well. 1:03:20 are you wasting any time if you don't die? again you aren't going for WR's, stop obsessing about fast as possible when you aren't doing the best strategies; and then you don't even have camo bought for 33.... Stop obsessing about time wasters, play safe and that will be faster than trying to speed run and losing on a round 1:21:00 You are greeding so hard but not even getting 4th tier farms. Also get a 052 sniper with a 4xx alch will take care of any round before 80 allow you to farm hard 1:27:00 I did that for my Black Border for Hedge, I just decided I'd do Gwen + Dark Champ and it worked out (back before the Dark Champ price reductions) 1:28:45 agreed stop farming except for Imppoppable, except maybe x4x druids, or 023 bucs or x4x snipers.

for your excel file, select all of your cells and right click and in the menu go to sort, and then custom sort, and you can decide which cell you want to control the sort, so set that to the cell w/ your times and sort smallest to largest I'm new to the channel, but loving the content 😁

you can get Monkey Money by claiming the Achievements, and by doing the Challenges/missions you can also spend tower XP on the home screen if you feel doing the unlocks takes too much time.

Hey I'm your first viewer on this video and I'd like to just say that I love your content and your black border series keep it up man and hopefully you have more fun the more you go on

omg livestreams on these would be so sick!

To do what you're wanting in Excel you have a few different options, You could filter them, Or you could make a pivot table to make it more visual too

As a tip, your keyboard probably has a bump on the F and J keys, so you can use that to find the U hotkey really easily with your left hand without looking, since it's above J.

I'm actually doing the BB journey too. Just had BBs. Off to a great start

A strat to use on the resort is a 5-0-2 Boomerang (Bottem left corner of tyny squere). And a 2-5-0 Dartling gunner far right bottem side next to bath(The exit path) You can use this to beat chimps with 2 towers

Excel, click somewhere on the first row with the title of the column and press Ctrl+shift +L, it will let you sort by any of your columns you want

"you probably won't know what a pez dispenser/bugs bunny is" wow man I feel old now lol

Certified Apple moment, they will sue and fight any warranty for someone else repairing, but the only repairs they choose to offer is a total replacement

Monkey knowledge for moab is -10% hp, also great idea for testing strategies in challange editor for harder maps, been doing it too few times, it really helps and saves a lot of time. Btw ben sucks on half cash you are only getting 75$ the 1$ for every bloon spawn doesnt work so playing ben half cash is pointless.

I reccomend the supply drop sniper for deflation because camo lead and really popping power. Also, top path mortar can almost solo with the burny stuff

Today im finally got my first black border, im so happy!!

You should try to do one of the game modes heroless for a little challenge and something new in the series

telling me about TAB is the most awesomest thing ever.... I had to pause and try it out

Hiiiiiiiiii I love your videos Dabloon

Personally i love the stories lol these videos are perfect to put on while i clean my house

Love the stories!!! It gives a sort of podcast feel to the whole border grind haha Keep it up :D

please continue makeing dease it is really fun content and helps with trying to clear the maps for others

Everyday i check your chanell for new videos , thats how good is this series, keep up de good work❤

really love this series1 when can you post more? really love you

Once again, I really enjoyed this!

I just started playing bloons on mobile and these videos have taught me everything I know 😂!! Thank you for the great content and just wanted to say it helps a lot!

In easy takes a 240 canon for one shot the moab and B.F.B (I think) (with the ability), also in medium. It will save you a lot of time. And if you put 250 canon his ability comes back super quickly! Sometimes if needed (normally not) I sell some tower to buy this ability if im not going in Free Play

I liked your story, it’s very relatable

great video!!! keep it up!

I was super confused as to why the maps changed order too -- at the very bottom of the patch notes, they said they rearranged the first page of beginner maps to "add more color variation." Lol ok NK thats cool I guess.

Yessir I love it that we are back

You should go for heroes quest before using a hero, since newjoiner would do this. As you mentioned on the first map, that you want it to be sort of new joiner exp

Funny thing is you predicted the tier 5 bottom path of mermonkey being paired with tier 5 middle path of heli with having something able to go around the whole track

Stories are good, pls keep them combing 😁

Love watching these :D

I think the reason they moved the maps around on begginer is due to difficulties on that map like the in the loop map is fairly an easy map loads of room for any tower you wnat and can stack together where as other maps have much more strategy based gameplay with where you place your towers especially on chimps

Crazy, I just finished black bordering it, hop on RU-vid and this is the first video I see lol

I love this series :tip use the moab assassin for the first moab and bfb it instant kills it its a small time save but everything helps

3-×-× boomer and up to 5-×-× already can atk and throw glaives around the map. But I understand what you ment once the bloons leave its range and sync kinda like beast handlers do.

Funniest customer support experience i had was i had wifi issues and he told me to turn it off and on now except i was communicating with him thru the chat support so that went nowhere XD
