@@Hbombyeah i got Corvus and before i thought "man its gonna be hard to learn how to play him" but after i got him i was like "wait just spam the spells which do good damage together and use abilities when theres bloons and hes op as hell" like why do people say hes so hard to play?????
Important tip to make playing him much easier Instead of clicking on corvus, just press u or your respectove hero button. This is extra helpful if you need to see something the menu might obscure - just click on a monkey that will put the upgrade menu on the other side and then press u to access the spellbook.
This video sorta mentions it in an off-hand way, but getting Corvus camo detection early really helps. I find that if I really wanna try-hard with this character its worth paying for a 3-0-0 sub or even a monkey village early.
What i think is the most insane part is, that his combos can do the most damage of all Heros and also hes the only way to gain HP (and that really fast) I used his HP regen spell and got 1000 HP after 3 uses. Also extremly useful for Bossevents, because they steal life and you need much HP to survive
I've only recently started using him. He's surprisingly fun, especially in co-op. It's fairly easy to convince people to let me start with him, and using Replenishment to continuously make him stronger turns him into basically a "get out of jail free" card for tough rounds like 63 I know he's intimidating, but give him a shot! He's very fun
I despised Geared CHIMPS because I was always getting set back from getting my gamewinning towers thanks to some small issue. As soon as I got Corvus, it was so much easier.
You can end the recovery phase a little bit before nourishment is off cooldown, because recovery costs mana to cast as well so you can let him attack a little bit during the last part of the cooldown to regain the mana used to cast the spell
funfact: Setting Corvus to strong early maximizes mana gain in most cases. It all depends on clean-up. I think his third constant drain ability (the aoe dmg) is underrated, especially if your runs are less sweaty. You can still pop nourish and even recover with using his third hero ability to cover the intirrum. I really enjoy playing DoT heavy playstyles so it is a natural fit that also offers the flexibility of popping out of aoe-form into target annihilation form! I love how well Corvus can trivialize round 40 and 60. for 40 agression split should be enough woth spear to clean up. for 60 agression split blades should be enough, but on shorter tracks spear may also be required once the first layer pops. Double angry hands is a fun albeit more challenging combo to perform.
I need to try out malevolence more. It was underwhelming compared to his other spells (understandably so as they're super strong), but I wouldn't mind pairing him with a Reactor. That'd be some fun, constant damage
@@Hbomb Attack speed and pierce simply do nothing for the aura while damage might but Im not entirely certain, I think its not entirely important to get Homeland or Sun God buff on corvus is what I mean, afterall his uber-late potential is dubious at best anyway. (Bosses u could go either way rlly) Permabrew and Ultraboost are likily not necessary as they really only work well for the Big Slappy Hands. My testing under superbuff showed the Ancestral Might gains the most overall for any buff, but the Blades are also quite good when buffed. The thing most people overlook is the Unstable Concoction-like effect that comes with Corvus's standard Haunt attack, this has a knock on effect of being a force-multiplier in the blimp-heavy rounds when paired with a x-3-x Alch. The setup that I find works best is when corvus is paired with slows, stalls, and damage-amplification (full debuff), as well as reactor sub + ring of fire to improve overall tick-rate of overal DoT. One can flex around glue paths, but middle path offers the greatest potential overall, due to its 100% uptime capability and the strength of it's debuff. Mortars also provide a lot of flexibility as all three paths can synergize greatly. Top path Wizard is absurdly strong when used to patch over Corvus's general weakness towards blimps. And we cannot forget to throw an Embrittlement in either, as it should go without saying that the ice shards effect will scale exponentially with the specific buffs given to corvus. My final piece of input is that I would really appreciate a PSA made from one or more of the top Bloons content creators that it will hold Corvus back from showing his true potential when using global targetted attacks that kill bloons at the entrance before being able to get haunted. Jungle Druids, Snipers, Neva-Miss/Spec, Heli's set to pursuit, and any aimed retical based attack set to the very front of the track are notable examples of how not to do corvus. It is in the same vein as utilizing 4x 0-2-4 Alchs + 0-2-5 Engie where you wouldnt want to prevent the bloons from being popped before they are made worth more money by those two towers. Coincidentally Alch Trap farming works very well with Corvus so long as you dont allow corvus to pop leads. Thanks for reading! [You can use however much of this comment you wish when writing scripts, if u wanna be extra spicey show me a communist monkey ;) ]
So now that Recovery can no longer be used on nourishment what do we use it for? Are there other spells that benefit from it or should we just not bother?
my biggest issue is the nourishment spam, i shouldn't have to press it like 100 times, just give an option like convert mana into xp as a toggel like the top abilities.
@@RinJackson funnily enough, I unlocked Corvus last week thanks to the MrBeast event and his spells are a lot of fun, and if you use his spells decently you can save a lot of money, for example, I’ve beaten a map with only Corvus, the free dart monkey, 4-2-0 buccaneer and a 0-2-0 monkey village, or other time when I beat a map with only Corvus, a super juggernaut, 4-2-0 monkey village and an energizer
what is wrong abt mobile? if you have the right finger coordination and 10 years of instrument/music experience, using corvus will never be a problem for you. so stop thinking that mobile is harder to use then pc. both are AS hard
For me kinda, Im not too good at BTD6 but it was kind of love at first sight with corvus for me and the ability to have more control over the tower, I just started playing recently about a month ago and he was the first thing I spent monkey money on. The trick is to use echo and overload to beat almost anything, and for longer rushes like 95 use ancestral might and storm as ancestral might can take care of MOABS and storm keeps lessers in check after, and if things are too overwhelming pop his ritual, thats what I learned on my own and was about the same as in the video.
it's balanced out because you have to put alot of effort into actually putting it into good use unlike other heroes which have their niches in support or damage. You can either have a fun laid back approach to beating levels or constantly micro manage corvus spells up till the mid game to have an easier end game.
@@Juan-tj7xs that's true though if you wanna "optimise" your game you no longer can just play a laid back game and just do good upgrade and placement but you also have yo micro
@@symus29165 yep that's a good point. But still, that optimisation isn't really necessary unless you are trying to do a self imposed challenge. Every other things is better with other heroes but if you find using corvus fun, he gets the job done.
I always find it funny how people can't pronounce giganotosaurus. It's just giga-noto-saurus (noto pronounced note-oh), and it literally means large back. But, I guess not many people also have a background in biology and have heard things like notochord
@@Kapilan. I mean if u like microinf then corvus, but if you dont want to, get psi. Imo psi is insane cuz she/he (idk) can oneshot EVERYTHING up to zomg no matter the hp also stuns them while attacking and she got some clutch abilities
@@tymektheplayerI like micro but i heard that geraldo is better and more balanced than corvus and he is less annoying to use than geraldo corvus is much more micro than geraldo sadly so its hard to use him in solo
@@tymektheplayerI got Geraldo on its realese and used it like 4 times lmao. But i might use him more now cuz i want to try micro. He costs now 7k mm? I got it for 5k
@@Kapilan. Yeah corvus is very annoying while microing and i lost many times because i needed to focus on him too much. After the nerfs he is i would say A- tier hero. Not bad but not overpowered
If you started with 1080 in chimps, you could do a 1 tower chimps. He can be good support too with his repel and frost. He dose way to much damage with overload. Now, can Psi even touch BADS, can Psi even get past the first round if you could start with her.
@@michaelgobeille4699 look if u wanna sit there and press abilities 24/7 be my guest, psi isn’t a starter monkey so no shit they won’t do good first round, psi is late game can take out Zomgs and everything under that with ease, and all at once with his ability, I’m not saying Corvus is weaker but Psi is way less work and still crazy strong late game

Not a big fan of micro for Corvus, but he definitely helps in maps like Muddy Puddles and Geared.
He makes those maps 10× easier. A bunch of stalling and a B.E.Z. and you're set
I despised Geared CHIMPS because I was always getting set back from getting my gamewinning towers thanks to some small issue. As soon as I got Corvus, it was so much easier.
I still prefer to use Geraldo
I wish I had Corvus for when I was beating Geared! I hated that map
You can end the recovery phase a little bit before nourishment is off cooldown, because recovery costs mana to cast as well so you can let him attack a little bit during the last part of the cooldown to regain the mana used to cast the spell
Fr this waa the type of hero i was waiting for
A micro heavy hero that can do much more if you play your cards right (such as soloing chimps)
I liked the cult of the lamb soundtrack in the back
Cult of the Lamb music got me rocking out
Also with that hero menu it fits
Love this series, looking forward to more!
■ This is the only Hero Guide I watched because Corvus is so complex, I don't have the patience needed to test him until I get how I should use him.
Sandbox is a good way to get used to him
Always a good day when hbomb uploads
Corvus is actually way stronger when playing with friends because you can focus more on him
Me: watching a video about 1tc corvus. Then buys corvus realizing that the video that i just watched was just before they nerfed him 😭
I had no idea how to use him until now. I literally took notes so I would remember.

How to effectively use Corvus
You don’t
I haven't, outside of his tutorial mission. Of course, I also haven't unlocked him yet, but I don't see that changing even then

Controversial opinion but hear me out...
Corvus is fun, he is my favorite hero. Yes, I said it.
nah u actually a psycho
Honestly barely requires any sort of micro and in multiplayer you can focus 100% on him and give all the money to your ally
so real, micro is a small price to pay for saveup
He’s so fun, also lets you save up for other towers in the meantime.
I can't tell if these replies are joking or not.
