Short version: Loving this series, I'd say keep it going. No to Splits and blocking towers. For map order, I could see letting you choose what difficulty tier you feel like, but then going from top-left within those tiers.
I enjoy seeing these maps done in order :) also, i agree with the other comments saying that doing splits would feel like overkill for this fun, lighthearted series
I've never been hooked into a series so fast. I look forward to this everyday. It started as a sleep video but now I wait for it to be uploaded. ALSO I never have the attention span for a long video but this is a new story you never stop commenting on whats going on and I feel included in the videos. MORE PLEASE
How fitting. This is the map i am currently farming for the sapper achievement. Last time I checked on it, I was at 64% completion, with every freeplay go giving me about 2%. Personally, I would rather see you branch out on this account and attempt the occassional boss, race, and odyssey on camera! And heck, if you are that worried about the upgrading process, you COULD show us what tower upgrades you unlocked before starting whatever was on the docket for that episode!
@@PeedOnU i'm at 23/24% is such a god awful grinding achievement, the only fast way is to grind on freeplay without any insta-kill or fortified strip upgrades
33:52 the answer is heck no XD. I just like order, and 90 more maps to improve is not that bad/j. But seriously no, it’s easier to follow and can show your improvement as you graduate from beginner to intermediate.
I know it takes a lot of time to make these videos but I'm really loving this series! I haven't really watched any of your older content besides the long stream vids, but you have an entertaining personality so I'm sure if you did go back to posting your older content more it'd still be fun to watch.
I have a regular video coming out today! I need to split these long ones up more I'm just eager to go through the series and the beginner maps are endless lol
For those interested. On Deflation mode, you can use the following on pretty much every map in the game and it works (with some change to spare). Helped me speed run an otherwise boring game mode :) 1 x 220 Village 2 x 203 Ace (in range of the village) 1 x 401 Alchemist (buffing both Ace and in range of the village)
Hey Dabloon. It's great to hear how soon the baby's coming. One tip for placing Etienne, since the projectiles don't come from the tower you don't have to place him right next to the track which can free up some space.
Never watched you before getting recommended these videos, haven't even played the game haha. But I enjoy these. For that reason, I also vote in order, because I want to experience all of the maps that way! And also, don't worry about splits. Maybe if these were legit speedruns, but these are more of a "how quickly can A BEGINNER do it" thing.
I'm personally not for splits but mostly for the aesthetic reasons. Im not sure where they would go and wouldn't be distracting. Just the little timer tucked into the corner is optimal imho
I'm literally just vibin to these. I have played quite a few tower def games, but not Bloons. I just enjoy hearing about the games and how excited you sound when talking about it. It makes me wanna stay in and listen.
I would say for "blocking" towers, each tower can only be blocked for one map, so viewers wouldn't just always vote for sniper or always vote for sub or whatever. It could also REALLY mess up the run if a critical tower was blocked on a map it was really good for.
Since a 2TC would take too long, you should do a video where you get all those fun achievements outside of a speed run (2TC, 2MP, round 100 on deflation, etc.) It could be a long-form video like these are, that could be a lot of fun!
@@Dabloon Druid and Village are omnipresent because they're great but i have a soft spot for the good old dart monkey It's the little one that can, from start to r100 you can get through with only them, there are stonger options, but you can
I found this channel on accident when you uploaded Monkey Meadow. Im absolutely a huge fan now! I really hope you can find out what happened to your dog! Aslo, congratulations on the baby! I think its super satisfying to be going in order, however i did see another comment about completing a page, then doing a random one to throw off the monotony a bit. However you decide, im still going to watch haha thanks for the great content!!
I think a good middle ground would be to alternate between in order and out every episode, so you get to do harder levels to shake things up but also make steady progress clearing earlier maps.
I think Splits are a good idea, let’s you know what sections you tend to struggle with most to get better. Also, at the end of each map type, you can look at what maps had your best splits to really give your all on the best map. It’s only going to help strategize better to have more info on what worked best for you in the past.
On the topic of Splits. I don't think they are really applicable in this case unless you want to dive deeper into the analytics, which seems overkill in my opinion. Also, if it does lead to restarting I think that takes away the fun of the challenge and turns it more serious... And then finally, haha, I heard someone once say that you should never give up half way if something isn't going to plan. See it through because you never know what the result will be, it could turn out even better than you expect :D
@Dabloon Ah, it was referring to when you mentioned possibly restarting if the split wasn't going fast enough. Because you never know what the outcome would be in the later rounds, it could have been even quicker 😄
If i had to remove one tower from the game, it would be darling gunner, no questions asked. Engineer has so much utility, and the unique mechanics really set it apart (Nothing functions similarly to Overclock, Bloon Trap, Cleansing Foam, or Sentries; foam has a very different practical application than shimmer for example). Damages all bloon types, cash generation, removes camo and regrowth, great stall (albeit map dependent).. engi does everything and does it differently than any other tower. Beautiful design
If you like the primary category a lot id recommend the 0-5-2 boomerang monkey---that or a bloon solver can pretty much solo through round 100 and i think theyre fairly fun towers as well
Resort! This map was fun to black border. Still using your 60 seconds guide from cabin. I'm currently on candy falls hard. Lotus Island held me up pretty hard, so I had to use your 60 second guide on THAT one. I got my Monkey Knowledge for heroes completed, and Sauda can now solo a MOAB at level 9 (with her ability), but you need to pay her to level up in order to do that. Etinne is great for not needing camo, but Sauda just FEELS better to use. I never use the mortar monkey, so id probably remove that one. Cannon just feels better to use for an explosion unit. Thanks so much for your content! I enjoy watching these videos. Inspires me to keep going on the challenge!
I didn’t see that last video but I would’ve chosen the Ninja. Alchemist is my second choice. Personally, I would eliminate the Dartling Gunner because I WANTED THE BLOONCHIPPER!
Love the videos! On the excel you should add another column for how many total restarts you had on the level too. Might be interesting when you start getting to more difficult levels
I absolutely love watching these, they keep popping up on my recommended after I watched one. But no offence I put these on and they make me fall asleep. In the best way possible. I love them so much!! Also learnt so much from these ❤️
Sauda + top path + middle path T5 sub (all 3 alch buffed) takes care of every single round in the game. You may need something else to assist with Bloons like an embrittlement at the front but other than that it’s a cakewalk and way faster than ETN.
loving the black border series man, and i wouldnt mind a short video here and there between them of challenges... personally i dont really care about MOD showcases myself but im not gonna say i hate them or anything.
Spin a wheel with all the tower names and whatever you land on you arent allowed to use for that map, then rinse and repeat for the next full map Also yes do out of order, maybe do beginner followed by intermediate then advanced then expert then repeat
Play ‘em out of order. It would be cool to see some higher difficulty maps, maybe one page of each difficulty or do one of each difficultly and rotate through each one? Dunno, but I love the series so far!
i think a cool idea to limit towers could be at the start of each episode you randomize each category (primary, Magic, Military and Support) and the top monkey you cant use at all and the last monkey on the list you can only use one of.
I just did these calculations cause I was a little curious about what kind of difference it really made: The druid you sold at 53:09 (you sold the 2-4-0 instead of the 1-4-0, oops) was worth 8805, and sold for 6199, which would've been a deficit of 2606, if not for the fact that it had gained 3200 from its ability, so it was actually a net positive of 594. The super monkey you sold at the same time was worth 18145, and sold for 13458 for a total deficit of 4687, which I also thought was interesting (though it did help with about 12k pops so maybe that was worth the large deficit?)
Legitamately Icicle impale is my go-to for Impoppable and CHIMPS, because the main threats of DDTs are its speed, which it makes slower than a red bloon and its immunities, which are nothing if you get cold snap.
love the series, on the going in order i think it would be cool if you had a wheel with all the remaining maps and at the start of each video you spun the wheel and got what map you would be doing that day
Havent played since around it was released, but my favorite is by far the wizard monkey. I think they can still solo. For easy/quick game #1s, why not try solo tower shenanigans? It would be cool to see which work and how fast
I like keeping it in order. I’m not sure how you’d be able to decide which maps to do in what order otherwise. Unless you do some type of random generator that could be cool
To be honest. I wouldn't mind seeing out of order anymore. A few episodes ago I much prefered the idea of seeing them in order, however you're right in saying that it could take up to a year until we start seeing some expert or even advanced maps. I wouldn't mind seeing the order maintained but every now and then seeing a random intermediate, advanced or expert map pop up for a bit of change of pace! As long as the beginner maps aren't forgotten about i think seeing it in a quite random order of whatever you feel like playing could be sweet!
EASY standard - 1:15 EASY primary only - 6:24 EASY deflation - 10:12 MEDIUM standard - 14:18 MEDIUM military only - 20:16 MEDIUM apopalypse - 26:30 Continue Saved MEDIUM apopalypse - 28:11 MEDIUM reverse - 32:05 HARD standard - 37:52 HARD magic monkeys only - 46:57 HARD double hp moabs - 55:22 HARD half cash - 1:03:33 HARD alternate bloons rounds - 1:11:04 HARD impoppable - 1:18:23 HARD chimps - 1:27:10
You mentioned asking the comments about if you should hop around or not. I would suggest doing two beginners, then do either an intermediate level or an expert level based off of a coin flip. Then use a wheel spin to randomly choose a map from one of those map rankings.
Out of order! I love watching these but I’ve already black boardered most maps especially the easy and intermediate ones. So I’d be even more into some harder maps
Aussies are prone to Hip Dysplasia, which can definitely affect their ability to stand as they get older. I've had many Aussies, and 2 of them have had issues where late in life they suddenly had a lot of issues with legs. I hope your buddy isn't dealing with this and that he has a speedy recovery!
For sure full steam ahead on this series and it's whatever you want but in regards to blocking towers nah you said in the beginning as if I was a new player and a new player would use what's available to them 😊
Love the vids and a good piece of advice I’ve gotten from other players is to use discount village more it really helps with those tier 3 purchases like mib, all of snipers 3 and farms!
Two hours, fourteen minutes, thirty six seconds, eight huhdred and ninety seven milliseconds, four hundred and eighty six microseconds, and one nanosecond, give or take three femtoseconds.
Hi! I'm glad to be early to this series again! Question though, why do you not live stream these? I enjoy the conversation and the unedited videos. Great series though
Also I know you said you didn't wanna put up a poll but I'd love to see a poll about favorite maps and you play them based on that ranking. My personal favorite is balanced and I'd love to see it but I know you like to make these as guides and I already have it black bordered...
I will be streaming the harder maps for sure when I am going to need help to come up with strats. As far as the main video/run It would be a nightmare to do a 3+ hour stream and try to edit it and take out alot of the parts of talking to chat. cutting down streams is hard because you tend to go off topic a lot making it bad experience for youtube video audience. Hope that makes sense. Ps. mortar is bad
Hey, I'm really enjoying this series but I'm quite new to BTD6, it might be nice to explain some abilities. For example when you mentioned disliking Etiennes first ability because of cooldown I believe it may have been nice to explain what it is for those unfamiliar. Just a little tidbit, I'm really enjoying this series either way and it got me to buy BTD6 on my phone! :)
Oh and in terms of order maybe a mix would be nice, alternating between the next map in order and a different map you feel like or that is heavily requested. You'll need a difficulty column in the spreadsheet then, too, so you can sort it by that!
Every thursday i have a chess tournament, before every tournament i watch this series, it gives me energy for my chess games (do the maps out of order)
Engineer is one of my favs as a very casual player (I like using him as a first monkey while saving money) but like. Beast Tamer really is just kinda the cooler Engineer
Every time I do a magic only run, I do a sauda start, and go into a dragons breath wizard, and finish off with rushing a spirit of the forest. Best strat imo
Maim moab is good for speed on lower difficulties if you have all your other towers right at the entrance or if you can block line of sight to let the moabs get to your towers, A maim moab can easily solo the round 80 ZOMG (until it pops), it'll just keep it off screen the whole time and it'll take 10 years if you let it.
I say don't block any towers. You already try changing it up all the time anyways and blocking specific towers kinda also limits your composition choices
I'd go with mortar tower as the one to get rid of. It can be pretty expensive sometimes and no upgraes give it an autotarget feature. Sure signal flare is a great camo strip, but several other monkeys don't have camo as a problem, especially with Etienne At least Engie can make you money
I actually love the engineer yeah top path tier 5 is not the best but great early/mid game tower glue top path is very fun to use mortar is quite useful and fun on some maps
Dark Passage deflation can be soloed by a 5-0-2 Ultra Juggernaut. Ill probably mention it again when you get to that map but I just figured it out today lol
Could be a fun thing to do one of each difficulty in a rotation like, easy intermediate hard etc then back to easy and start the pattern over again, for variety
Love is a burning thing And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell in to a ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire Went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire Went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild I fell in to a burning ring of fire Went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire Went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire The ring of fire
You can unlock tower upgrades by looking at tower information from the main screen and not take up time IN game (doesn't help against those first runs cause you unlock as you go), but yeah.....

In order, however every full page that is BB'd, you get to do a map of your choosing. That way it's sort of a best of both. Loving the series

You mentioned asking the comments about if you should hop around or not. I would suggest doing two beginners, then do either an intermediate level or an expert level based off of a coin flip. Then use a wheel spin to randomly choose a map from one of those map rankings.
Out of order! I love watching these but I’ve already black boardered most maps especially the easy and intermediate ones. So I’d be even more into some harder maps
Aussies are prone to Hip Dysplasia, which can definitely affect their ability to stand as they get older. I've had many Aussies, and 2 of them have had issues where late in life they suddenly had a lot of issues with legs. I hope your buddy isn't dealing with this and that he has a speedy recovery!
He's had the hip issues for a few months now unfortunately. just after the dog grooming incident it affected his other side as well. poor guy
Definitely get rid of mortar and darling. I don't want to micro towers aim in a TD.
I feel that..
etienne is easily my favorite hero. he has decent dps at level 20, but his camo utility is WAY more useful than any damage he can do
This is the run ( if you don’t lose) that will get to first. Otherwise it’s second because I believe you improved so much!
nice call!!
For sure full steam ahead on this series and it's whatever you want but in regards to blocking towers nah you said in the beginning as if I was a new player and a new player would use what's available to them 😊
i love this series so much.
Splits would add a good element because once you see where you are going wrong then you know what you need to rework in your strategy
Love the vids and a good piece of advice I’ve gotten from other players is to use discount village more it really helps with those tier 3 purchases like mib, all of snipers 3 and farms!
25:18 no lock out, unless it keeps you entertained. I sleep to this and honestly couldn’t care less what you place where
Two hours, fourteen minutes, thirty six seconds, eight huhdred and ninety seven milliseconds, four hundred and eighty six microseconds, and one nanosecond, give or take three femtoseconds.
very close!
the engineer is my favourite :(
i love the bloon trap it's so unbelievably satisfying
Hi! I'm glad to be early to this series again! Question though, why do you not live stream these? I enjoy the conversation and the unedited videos. Great series though
Also I know you said you didn't wanna put up a poll but I'd love to see a poll about favorite maps and you play them based on that ranking. My personal favorite is balanced and I'd love to see it but I know you like to make these as guides and I already have it black bordered...
ALSO😂 stop crapping on the mortar the pop and awe is top 3 rn (excluding super monkey)
I will be streaming the harder maps for sure when I am going to need help to come up with strats. As far as the main video/run It would be a nightmare to do a 3+ hour stream and try to edit it and take out alot of the parts of talking to chat. cutting down streams is hard because you tend to go off topic a lot making it bad experience for youtube video audience. Hope that makes sense. Ps. mortar is bad
@Dabloon Ohh, that makes sense. Thats okay but I can't wait for the harder maps. Ps. Flame mortar after it fails you not just yet
back again like always
Hey, I'm really enjoying this series but I'm quite new to BTD6, it might be nice to explain some abilities. For example when you mentioned disliking Etiennes first ability because of cooldown I believe it may have been nice to explain what it is for those unfamiliar. Just a little tidbit, I'm really enjoying this series either way and it got me to buy BTD6 on my phone! :)
Oh and in terms of order maybe a mix would be nice, alternating between the next map in order and a different map you feel like or that is heavily requested. You'll need a difficulty column in the spreadsheet then, too, so you can sort it by that!
Every thursday i have a chess tournament, before every tournament i watch this series, it gives me energy for my chess games (do the maps out of order)
that is awesome to hear! Hopefully my bad gameplay choices doesn't rot your brain and affect your chess strats!
Engineer is one of my favs as a very casual player (I like using him as a first monkey while saving money) but like. Beast Tamer really is just kinda the cooler Engineer
re: splits
You could add them in post, that way we can see what pace you're on but you won't get stressed while you're playing it
Every time I do a magic only run, I do a sauda start, and go into a dragons breath wizard, and finish off with rushing a spirit of the forest. Best strat imo
Maim moab is good for speed on lower difficulties if you have all your other towers right at the entrance or if you can block line of sight to let the moabs get to your towers, A maim moab can easily solo the round 80 ZOMG (until it pops), it'll just keep it off screen the whole time and it'll take 10 years if you let it.
Do top path tack it’s the best one promise you will never regret it and notice you do bottom path instead
Hey Dabloon. Loving the series. I'd love to see you jump around on map difficulty a bit.
I say don't block any towers. You already try changing it up all the time anyways and blocking specific towers kinda also limits your composition choices
Let’s go a new video I like this black border series
I'd go with mortar tower as the one to get rid of. It can be pretty expensive sometimes and no upgraes give it an autotarget feature. Sure signal flare is a great camo strip, but several other monkeys don't have camo as a problem, especially with Etienne
At least Engie can make you money
I actually love the engineer
yeah top path tier 5 is not the best but great early/mid game tower
glue top path is very fun to use
mortar is quite useful and fun on some maps
Dark Passage deflation can be soloed by a 5-0-2 Ultra Juggernaut. Ill probably mention it again when you get to that map but I just figured it out today lol
This video came just in time for a late night snack lets gooo
I did not know you are having a baby congrats dude❤
edit: in order
thank you!
Could be a fun thing to do one of each difficulty in a rotation like, easy intermediate hard etc then back to easy and start the pattern over again, for variety
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
Went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
Literally just watched the last episode to black border The Cabin myself and now this is here
One thing I do all the times is selling at some point everything and get some other t5, like BMA for double hp moabs
You can unlock tower upgrades by looking at tower information from the main screen and not take up time IN game (doesn't help against those first runs cause you unlock as you go), but yeah.....
When you're in the main menu, at the start before the timer begins or after you're done with the run, you have time to upgrade your monkeys.
Also nuclear sub and aircraft carrier combo is such an easy win on this map
