      Mistakes
      Pcharge 052 is better with psi for expert maps but 250 is also very good so that's fine
      Ring of fire and inferno ring 420 and 520 is better, meteor pierce is really important, 502 is only better for r100 damage
      Elite defender is ALWAYS a 205 unless geraldo or perma brew
      reactor is always 402, 420 reactor is dreadful (except races), it has nothing to do with the airburst earlygame
      Ballistic is always 032 bruh
      Hot shot is useless, 310 410 and 510 is best
      030 downdraft is usually enough but yeah 032 has better blowback if no xpath isn't enough
      105 heli best, pursuit is a terrible upgrade
      I'm not sure about this, but 520 mortar and alch is better for stun, also 025 is still better than 205 in mortar but I'm not really sure about mortar if I'm being honest
      Yes, 502 wizard is always better
      Also just a note, 205 Wizard is better on stuff like flooded but that's pretty obvious I guess
      023 dark Knight geraldo is actually pretty viable, especially after the base super nerf making 203 worse
      For top alchemist, the number of monkeys is a factor yes but its way more complicated because towers have different uptimes depending on how fast they attack
      I'm pretty sure 140 alchemist sucks and 041 is a lot better
      Thats not how Spiked balls works
      Basically 320 is the better crosspath, however 302 is situationally better. I'm talking about expert maps, so 320 is better on quad, dark castle, workshop, middle lane of dark dungeon, whilst 302 is better on left lane of dark dungeon, ravine, bloody puddles, blons
      Side note: 015 XXL trap used to be way better on expert for targeting it, no one cares about the stupid beginner maps, however it was nerfed and now 205 is literally a must which means it is a useless tower anyway. For some reason they made it so that the trap deploys every three years
      Also another note: MIB is a TERRIBLE tower

  • @kleyiron
    @kleyiron Před rokem +81

    some things worth to note :
    - 520 Inferno Ring, the main zone attack appreciates the extra range as it helps clearing ceramics and moabs
    - 024 Moab Press, useful for multilane maps where the glaives almost never hits its pierce caps on maps like quad, also has more strength in the midgame due to the low amount of blimps
    - 320 Ice Shards, the layer soaking matters for races as it allows more shards
    - 4+01 Embrittlement/Super Brittle, just like cripple moab for freeplay speedbuffs allows it to have over 100% uptime and the range allows it to debuff more bloons
    - 042 Snowstorm with 200 alch, basically a bigger arctic wind while still allowing the ability to affect ddt
    - 04+0 Supply Drop, for farming only crosspathless can be better since it makes the sniper do less damage/cheaper
    - 104+ Necromancer/Pod, situational but also viable due to the extended zombie lifespan, notably used for quad

    Worth mentioning that only one instance of burny stuff can be active on a bloon at a time, so if you’re planning on using a bottom path mortar and a top path mortar, cross-pathing the top path mortar with x-0-2 becomes redundant, and should be cross pathed with the middle option

Boat farming works with 0-2-4, else 4-2-0. Ace 2-0-4, and Ninja can be as both Shinobi buffing and Paragon building, 2-4-0 for both, 1-3-0 for Shinobi only, and 0-2-4 for mainly paragon building

    Bottom path Wizard isn’t just Wall of fire and Wall of fire only, the 2-0-x crosspath is only better in situations where POD can’t see other specific obstacles such as Spillway, Another Brick (if you want POD at the back of the map), and Flooded Valley. And POD only targets the Wall of fire to the closest point to the tower on the bloon path, which means it wouldn’t be able to deploy it’s Wall of fire on other lanes simultaneously such as, X-factor, Muddie puddles and Bloody puddles as well.

    I know this is 5 months old, but for anyone curious about the best Bottom Path Druid cross path, I did extensive testing in a sandbox game by sending 20 Fortified BADs with a spacing of 1. Provided Camo detection with Etienne and only buff was Permabrew. I had 1 avatar of wrath and 5 Poplusts. I'd test them with no crosspath, then I'd track the pops per tower, reset the pops, crosspath them and get a new pop count. I'd reset the whole screen and do this again with the other crosspath to account for discrepancy in placements.
    The first test was middle cross path and I went from 1,042,007 total pops with no cross path to 1,646,856 total pops with the middle cross path. This was a total pop increase of 604,849.
    The top cross path started with a baseline of 1,039,225 total pops which increased to 1,892,552 total pops, an increase of 853,327 pops.
    Therefore, the best cross path for damage is easily the top cross path, making sure to grab the chain lightning.

    • @adrianlippold6100
      @adrianlippold6100 Před 5 měsíci

      the problem is that the pierce and lead popping from the top path can be replaced from external sources, while the extra damage scaling from having more projectiles from the middle path cannot. the lightning from heart of thunder also only gets half of the damage buff that the thorns get from the avatar of wrath effect. so if you have the full 5 poplust stacks and 1-2 towers that buff the avatars pierce it rarely gets pierce capped on any of the normal rounds which means the extra single target dps and scaling with attack speed/pierce buffs from middle path are a lot better in practice. so while the top path is technically a little bit better in a vaccum in a lot of common scenarios it gets outclassed by 015. but if you dont have access to a lot of the other tower buffs for whatever reason top path is still a bit better. heres a helpful video from ethan reid explaining what i mean a bit better: czcams.com/video/FII8tHczSX8/video.html
      (also to imho you kinda rigged your experiment against the middle crosspath with the 20 stacked FBADs cause you guaranteed that it gets pierce capped making the top path +1 pierce matter a lot more than it usually does)

    -*mistake* 052 permacharge is the better crosspath
    -3x2 bomb does more damge after the buff, but still useless
    -032 is better when using one mauler for the extra damge, and not as your core strat
    -4/5-01 brittle is better when you have enough buffs to get 100% uptime for the range
    -Technically said but 205 impale if you don't have MIB
    -*mistake* 5x2 solver is better for the extra slow and duration almost always, middle path only on races, build up or elite bloonarius
    -042 glue if you need the ability for cerams, but hardly ever worth
    -301 sub can be good for a bit of extra utility just in case for not that much (on chimps be careful)
    -420 sub on races
    -250 heli if you got it to doorgunner an embrittlement or a dps tower that outdps the marine.
    -301 super skip ultravission if you have camo, mainly on chimps
    -401 alch is also better on 2MP, because middle does way too much damage
    -DO NOT buy AMD, leave it as 10x as it makes other monkeys steal the leads
    -501 spirit can be useful in some challenges where you need the extra vines already in the track (buy range first)
    -302/402 spike can be better on apoppalypse since the spikes don't despawn
    -x05 spike if you have no alch

    ps people are saying 510 buffs skyshredder anti missile moab damage but it only buffs the pierce by 2 no damage buff

    Knockback is much better for tech terror and anti bloon. Because the top path loses most utility entirely at the top levels as the darts will turn into plasma automatically

  • @fesofmasfaosmf5437
    @fesofmasfaosmf5437 Před rokem +17

    The top path glue gunner is better being bottom crosspathed if you buff it with a top path village as it gets enough pierce to basically hit all the bloons, while the bottom path glue gunners ability to slow down bloons more and last longer and have puddles that last longer cannot be earned by buffing the glue gunner. Plus you get extra pierce when you buy the fifth tier.
    So the bottom path is better if you're getting the fifth tier glue gunner and are buffing it with the top path village. But if you're getting a fourth tier, yes the middle path is much better even when being buffed with a village.

    I just got an idea while getting black medals on all the beg maps
    The idea is to make a vid about monkes to use to with pat also i wont be including the tack shoot has most knows its good with pat
    Here are some:
    -402 sub:Shreds weaker bloons in the early to mid game while providing camo detection
    -top path boat (hotshots if u want):Plus 1 damage is insane for the mini planes and the grapes
    -205 sniper:The Blimp damage is so good that it can be a subtitue to moab elim
    -052 sniper:It shreds apart the bloons that get caught lacking (leaking)
    Honorable mentions:
    -250 boat
    -250 ace
    -502/205 heli
    -015 druid (buffed with 014 druids of course)
    -520 engineer
    And now the moment you've been waiting for "drum rolls"
    501 ace:Absolutely INSANE against Blimps and Scerams (If you want you can buff it with top path boat)
    Thats the end now i'll continue playing

    notes
    420 boomer is better if an alch buff is always applied
    052 boomer can work great if you have a pierce cutting tower such as tsar bomba or psi or if you have massive pierce buffs applied to the boomer. it really depends on how you like to play.
    024 boomer is better in modular setups, setups that requires presses in the 80's targeting singular zomgs, and ddt support
    03/4/52 bomb is better for single target like round 100 (this is very rare)
    520 iring all the way unless you really have a skill issue r100 setup. the extra pierce is way better and the extra range on the iring main attack is very underrated.
    250 ice is always the best but 042 can be used if if you need more range and the reefreeze ability on the awind. this should onlt really be done if you have mib, mib skip, or want to play the amd rng game
    I tend to get 510 on the glue because it pretty much insta kills ceramics and the pierce on spallter isn't really needed
    023 glue is really needed if you want to glue moabs too, if not then stay 013
    Elite defender is a crazy cool tower that has been seeing a lot of use in the pro scene as a 205. this is great when set in the sniper setups as usual (for ceramic cleanup and r100) but its been used as an amazing saveup tower along with basic ceramic suport in the lategame in a lot of crazy funky setups.
    the only reason why i'd get 025 is because of geraldo sharpstone
    a lot of people say the 520 mortar is still better because of consistancy but from my testing they seemed to be about the same but I like burny stuff so I go with that :)
    never tested it but I think that the wall of fire on armchiar is funny so I get that ha ha
    320 sun avatar is pretty much always better as its pierce improves it through the midgame while having way more damage in the lategame from the pierce and the range
    032 super is useless (unless you are doing that very specific geraldo super strat)
    300, 301, and 320 alch crosspath is very common, for stim always crosspath it with something (the alch crosspathing is very complicated so I won't talk about it)
    042 and 032 banks are used in IMF farming
    village crosspaths don't matter because you can pick and choose the crosspaths freely (besides opoplis of course)
    with drums 015 engi will get the extra redoply rate so if you are going to micro do that path.

  • @proffesionalgamer
    @proffesionalgamer Před rokem +6

    You missed on:
    (Primary)
    Bomb top path, for more dps you go 502, for more stuns you go 520.
    -Boomer perma charge, it is always better to go 052 after damage buff to buttom path which gives +4 damage and +8 when active ability.
    Less pierce can be managed by an alch or a primary village.
    -Top path glue gunner
    If u plan on teir 4 only, it is better to go for 420 for more glue, but if u plan to go for 5th teir, it is always better in all situations to go for 502, because 5th teir already has so much projectiles so much pierce and a very fast attack speed, so nothing leaks, which makes longer glue uptime way better than more pierce.
    (Military):
    Top path boat 4th and 5th teir don't get advantage from alch by their main dps which is the planes, only the boat itself gets buffed, so if u have a close range to track 520 is better, but if not then 502 is better for more pierce on planes darts.

  • @legitgopnik8431
    @legitgopnik8431 Před rokem +1

    Partially disagree on the maulers, extra range from bottom path T1 and T2 means more time attacking. You usually don't cap the 40 pierce, the main upside of top path is larger splash radius.

      Generally you have to add the cost of the 030 village (ddts/leds blocking the pierce), so no... in most situations I would use the top crosspath (especially without Obyn).

    I disagree about perma spike, it's better to use 205 factory + 240 ice in front of it. Spikes will pop moabs and ice will keep ceramics from eating up the pierce. It also stalls the round so you can build up more spikes.

  • @nekomaige6272
    @nekomaige6272 Před rokem

    A bit of controversy.
    The 0-X-2 Druid is actually more dps due to them synergizing much better with buffs including Poplust druid buffs, so if you're gonna buff them go 0-X-2 but if not leave them 1-X-0 for the lead popping power.
    The 2-0-4 Bloon Trap engi is actually better in cases with cross pathing because of the amount of traps it can drop out and money made, but this is usually only the case when placing it far in front of your other defense's so a 0-1-4 is most likely what you're gonna do and this is opposite for the X-X-5 as the 0-1-5 is always better as the trap release time is very minor in difference and much better at preventing your other towers from popping the moabs before it can eat them.

    024 bomb with alc is not good since it has way less pierce and you shouldnt be using recursive for moab damage
    402 mortar is much preferred over 420, as it has actual use midgame
    023 super is genuinely better sometimes, especially with geraldo
    even when buffing 3+ towers 420 alc is better, as it just goes from 99% uptime on 2 towers to 66% uptime on 3, which is about the same, and it doesnt have the extra shot count
    042 farm is generally better than 240 since the only time theyre good youre selling them after 1 ability
    theres a bug with 025 pspike which makes it so that if you reload it loses its amd, so in gold border/ce 205 can be better

    the 031 gives a chance to get one extra hit on things before they leave range which could be like an extra 20 damage since each hit is so much
