    I wish Long Life Spikes was cheaper. The concept of lasting spikes between rounds is brilliant, but it’s so expensive for how much popping power it can deal.

      I think they need to rework the 0/0/1 or 0/0/2 spikes that would make that cross path more viable as a bonus to indirectly buffing the long life spike. (something like spike salvage: whenever a newly created spike pile is destroyed create a spike pile at the end of the track)

    Perma-spikes is the strongest tower in the game, aside from sub, and using ice + heli stalls it’s led to some of the closest attempts of beating bloody puddles on chimps.

    You should do tap titans 2 since the new 3.0 update came out so it might be popular.

    man, I am more comfortable with BTD5's upgrades, upgrade 2 on one path, 4 on the other, there seems to be no rhyme or rhythm to BTD6's upgrades, the paths get locked seemingly at random, why not make it so that if we go past a certain upgrade on one (maybe two) path(s) then that tier of upgrade gets locked on the remaining path(s)

    • @brandonlist950
      @brandonlist950 5 років тому

      The upgrades work so that you get no upgrade on one path, upgrade 1- 2 on another path, and upgrade 3-5 on the final path

      @@brandonlist950 I'd like it better if we could get at least a single upgrade on all the paths, especially if upgrades that were previously on the same path in BTD5 are not so anymore
