Look, I know everyone plays BMC differently. I just think people can post their favorite towers/comboes/upgrades here for future reference. For example, I like having a group of 2/1 Ice Monkeys, as they can stall bloons almost indefinitely while dealing pretty high damage with Snap Freeze. Also, 4/2 Ninjas are, in my book, AWESOME. 5 Shurikens x 4 bloons hit per shot = 20 bloons popped max per attack, and ninjas attack REALLY FAST. Anyways, feel free to add your opinions on good towers and upgrades, and please keep this thread relatively swear-free. Thanks!

I would have to reply "How long is a piece of string?" My favourite varies according to the expected targets and the terrain/track. Though I do tend to try and centre my defence under a 2/0 Monkey Village. If there are towers using darts I will go to 2/1. If available I put a 3/0 Engineer at the start because then I no longer have to deal with lead, regen or camouflage. From then on it's very variable. 1/2 Super Monkeys but only if dirigibles are expected. I also like Snipers, but with different upgrades for different situations, maxed firing speed for catching the bloons that slip by, 2/2 if I can't have an Engineer to neutralise camouflaged lead bloons, or if I can afford the upgrades for blasting dirigibles. If there is a crossover I like to put an 2/3 Ice Monkey, or two, there surrounded by 4 to 7 3/1 Boomerang Throwers. I love the way a group of Boomers, upgraded to Glave Ricochet, annihilates long strings of runaway small bloons. Buccaneers are also great, with the x/2 set if it in range of possible camo bloons. I will upgrade it to Destroyer to deal with a mass of small bloons or Cannon for dirigibles. But of course this is only possible if there is water. If there is a tight loop then a Tack Shooter upgraded to 3/x, or even 4/x if affordable is well worth the cost. There are other favourites but these are the ones I mainly use.

I pretty much use the same tactic everywhere: 1x Monkey Village to be eventually upgraded to 2-3. Played First to get maximum discounts. 3x Banana Farm to be upgraded to 4-2 + free Dart Throwers to start. 1x 4-2 Ninja into 2x after first maxed farm. 1x 2-3 Bomb Shooter into x2 as above 1x 4-0 Monkey Ace The above allows me the time to build every Banana Farm on non-beacon maps, and then everything I want. The Bomb Shooter/Ninja combo can kill anything thats not lead+invisible, and that combo rarely shows up early. By the time it does, the Monkey Village is providing Ninjas the ability to kill them, including DDT's. On Contested Territories, 4x Ninja +4x Bomb +4x Ace gets me to lvl 30 with over 1 Million Gold waiting. Standard build order for me is 0-0 Monkey Village +1x 2-0 Banana Farm +1x 1-0 Banana Farm +1x 0-0 Banana Farm +4 Free Dart Monkeys Start lvl 1 Upgrade 2nd farm to 2-0, then 3rd farm to 1-0, the purchase Ninja and upgrade to 1-1 2nd lvl Upgrade 3rd farm to 2-0, buy a Bomb Shooter, upgrade Ninja to at least 2-1 3rd lvl + Ninja to 3-2, Farms to 3-0, and Bomb Shooter to 2-3, then Ninja to 4-2 First farm to 4-2 Add an 0-0 Ninja and 0-0 Bomb Shooter 2nd and 3rd farms to 4-2 2nd Ninja to 3-2 Village to 2-3 2nd Bomb Shooter to 2-3 +2-3 Banana Farms raised to 4-2 asap Add 4-0 Monkey Ace Finish adding any farms.
