Tips from someone who has used livesplit for a couple years: Find a key you don't press on your keyboard, something like home or insert or `, make that key your split key. It might be a good idea to use level splits (a split each for beginner, medium, hard, etc. It's easy to overdo this, but 3 should be great enough) with your fancy global hotkeys and newfound confidence in your split button. If you decide to have splits, you can crop livesplit to look the same in obs with a filter crop.
It annoys me how many people don't realize that a 1-0-0 Sniper is all it takes to pop leads. And if you get 1-2-0, camo leads are just shredded, depending on your targeting.
You can set OBS to record 2 seperate audio tracks instead of running two different instances of OBS. That way you only run OBS once and have a Video with 2 tracks. One for your voice and one for game sound. Should be less taxing on your system
I'm obssesed with this series and just subscribed so I don't miss any. Not only is it a vibe, something to fall asleep too and entertaining, it is also super helpful and I got my first black border because of the help! Keep it up please I miss it already!
Recently found this game again, reminding me of a misspent youth, having fun following along with the series and playing through the levels at the same time :)
Loving these rn and i’ll for sure watch the series until you complete it! Would be nice if you could section the video when you start the next mode for the people that would want to use the same strat as you so they could easily find it! Keep it up! Much love❤
So if you are planning to get all the achievements at once then you should probably start doing all 3 daily challenges every day… cuz there is that one with 365 daily challenges right? That should also help with your money situation a bit
Ran the numbers on the 2-0-0 vs 2-0-2 farm. You have a net gain of $157 by buying the 2 bottom path upgrades in hardmode. I'd assume the margin is similar, as sell price is proportional to buy price. Also, I actually like reverse. It can drastically change which monkeys excel in some later maps. I just wish it (and the other challenge modes) were toggleable for all difficulties without needing to use the challenge editor.
you definetly need to put the druid on first to clean up properly. It always automatically switches to strong if you upgrade to Druid of the jungle since last update and it got me killed too many times...
This series actually made me feel like black bordering is possible as a new account / unexperienced player. I've actually picked up BTD6 as my "sleeping game" like you said in a previous episode and work on black borders in order while watching your vids in PnP... best of both worlds.
I'm not completely sure, but I think if you're doing sub comm with sub spam, it's better to leave them at 203 rather than get AP darts. AP darts costs almost as much as the entire 203 sub all on its own (maybe more with double discount villages). Can be much safer to give them support instead once the 203 sub army is ready.
I started a new account as well after i saw you do it and having your videos on the side while trying to BB all maps is awesome. Your videos are really entertaining😁
You can bind the start/split button to a different key so you don’t have to hold the function key. If you have a number pad, you could also bind them there!
@@Dabloon same here and yeah, it can definitely be a pain lol. I believe I have my live split keys bound to my arrow keys, as I don’t ever use those. Loving the series, keep it up!
New to BTD, found your videos through recommended initially to check out what a black border is. Now got Sauda because of your love for her and omg I'm in love she's amazing lol
I have a tip for unlocking exp for towers, the amount of exp that you get for a tower every round is based on the difficulty of the map(easy advanced...), what gamemode your playing(easy,chimps,miltary only...) what round you're on and how much money you spent on that tower in one game. hopes this information helps you out
1:12:00 wdym 💀he's one of the best. Doesn't matter if the buffs are random, atleast you get them in the first place. The beast handler has been crowned the worst tower since the nerfs. 1:13:02 I would say magic monkeys are the best in my opinion. Ninja kiwi agrees and that's why purple balloons are a thing. Try getting as far as you can with primary monkeys then trying again with magic monkeys. I can guarantee you the magic monkeys will make it further.
I’m not sure how you have your OBS set up, but you can set multiple audio tracks to record your voice and game audio separately instead of having multiple OBS open. That way you can adjust audio in post production. If you need help with it I can help or there’s a ton of different tutorials online for it.
honestly this is the best vid series ever I have watched all 3 eps so far today and it was been amazing legit watching the whole thing so far and I am loving it, one thing I would love is if you did it live then turend the lives into the vid as then you would have the chat with you the whole time like the speedrunner DarkViperAU
I took a pretty long break from the game, and I lost my account so I had to start all over, I’ve been enjoying watching this series a lot, and I’m going to use this to get half cash done
The Druid would most likely have popped that Stray Black Bloon. He was done with the 1st Ceramic and the cooldown is something like 1,5 seconds. Would have been close. But TBH, i would also have panicked and used the ability.
i would definetly use this as a guide however your play is not neccacerily what you would usually recomend due to the fact that your more focused on time over saftey and efficiency. thats why im not using it exactly but it is helping me learn so much about the towers even though i have loads of hours in the game, (but im a slow learner so im only just silver bourdering my begginner maps due to my fear of appocalypse).
I FINALLY completed town center. CHIMPS was kind of a nightmare, but I managed to complete it! I like to try to follow these as a guide, but i play on my phone and attempting to complete the map and watch a speedrun is a bit of a pain. I HAVE been watching older videos to help with certain map issues, but as in getting better, and my monkey knowledge gets better I've been NEEDING to less, and just watching for the enjoyment more. Thanks for bringing me back into this game! 3 maps complete, time to go mid!
BY THE WAY for appocalipse i highly recomedn a top and bottom tier four sniper monkey and a heli pilot top path, that seems to be the best thing as the top sniper deals with the moabs and then you can focus on the bigger problem which is high density of large amounts of bloons. in my eyes if you can easily pop camo leads then you should be good to go for that mode, and it is definetly a quick way of doings things as well so maybe try that on your next map in apopalypse
20:27 - I literally followed your video here exactly with tons more monkey knowledge and it isn't working because I do not have the cash to build the farms at wave 29. Are you SURE you aren't cheating?? Because it seems like you somehow have 2k extra cash on wave 29 of Apopalypse.
Start of the video: I'm not very good at the game but why not put Sauda on the first turn next to the windmill? It wouldn't cost much time and still would be almost twice the attack area?
I absolutely bought double cash because I play coop when the grind gets stale lol. But I probably wouldn't buy monkey money. I would buy trophies in a heartbeat though
Which of the 14 Medals are you missing? Is it Bronze, Silver or Gold Bordered instead? If it's Good Bordered that means you beat CHIMPS from a saved file, to get the Black Border you have to beat CHIMPS in one go
A tip for half cash is using banks. The intrest stays the same so they fill up almost as Quick as normal

You don't even need 1-2-0 sniper for camo lead. All it takes is a 1-1-0. It's not hard to pop camo leads.
@@King_Noob.Got 'em
@@King_Noob.The shrapnel is affected by full metal jacket so it'll shred camo leds.
Doesn't shrapnel get effected by maim/cripple moab and stuns moabs too but for a smaller amount of time?

I love watching this series so much!! You are the GOAT Dabloon
Couldn’t have said it better myself
thank you!

I don't even play Bloons and this completionist style gameplay is addicting to watch. Keep it up bud!
I feel like this series will be perfect for showcasing nee maps when they release
The reason 1 wasnt working with sauda is because the bloons died at the start of the track and sauda couldnt "find" a bloon to jump on
Was about to comment this, thanks 😂
Add a Spike Factory at the end on Chimps and Impoppable. It really does help with the random stray DDT or Ceramic.
Recently found this game again, reminding me of a misspent youth, having fun following along with the series and playing through the levels at the same time :)

I definitely need to add sections! I keep forgetting. when I get a chance I will go back and add them all
@@Dabloon ayo bro are you gonna do expert maps as well (i think you'll need to do microing)
I love how this is also almost a quick guide for blackboardering all maps

I've really been enjoying seeing your strats evolve as you go. Keep up the good work! :D

Finally!🎉🎉🎉 I can't wait to see the next maps. I'm enjoying the series, thank you
this has been helping me a lot with black bordering all these maps, made me realize how good sub is. Keep up the good work ❤
Man i've been doing the same you are but on chimps I lose like 3 times before getting it right, but you are the GOAT Dabloon

I'm a casual Bloons gamer but seeing these videos pumps me up to wanna play more ay. Keep up the awesome work!!
I started a new account as well after i saw you do it and having your videos on the side while trying to BB all maps is awesome. Your videos are really entertaining😁
i love this series so far , the only complaint i have is how much you complain about how you feel you’re going slower but i also understand it
i cant believe i have watched 3.5 hours of this and enjoyed it so much
This is a really cool series, had a lot of fun!
You can bind the start/split button to a different key so you don’t have to hold the function key. If you have a number pad, you could also bind them there!
no number pad either lol. I have a 65% keyboard to be cool but it becomes a pain sometimes
@@Dabloon same here and yeah, it can definitely be a pain lol. I believe I have my live split keys bound to my arrow keys, as I don’t ever use those. Loving the series, keep it up!
@@callmeaidyn6674I just don't understand why not just buy a full sized keyboard if it's such a massive hindrance?
I love watching this series because it helps me black border. Keep it up dude
New to BTD, found your videos through recommended initially to check out what a black border is. Now got Sauda because of your love for her and omg I'm in love she's amazing lol
People will hate me for this but I prefer ezili, since I pretty much always go ultra-late game ezili just fits my playstyle better.
You can record the audio of bloons at the same time of recording the game if you use the application audio capture. This still works tho + great vid
Please keep doing this I love it I’ve been binwatching these videos
I love this series! Every time I finish one, I start craving the next one!

I have them set to multiple tracks but it still saves as one whole file. If you know how to make it save as multiple tracks that would be awesome.
@@DabloonI swear I responded to this twice. Did you see any of them? Seems to be auto deleted or held for review or something idk
@@LordlyTVmaybe he'd been hiding your comments?
These are perfect background videos. They're a bit repetitive to sit down and watch actively, but your personality is great.

22:39 Crazy I was crazy once, til they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, rats make me crazy.
TYSM UR BLACK BORDER VIDS HAVE HELPED ME SO MUCH!!!
"I've gotta start playing like a better player" Truer words have never been spoken. #relatableaf
The alchemist is extremely good. If you don't use the top lane. 0-2-5 is the most effective build that I've found

58:59 you bought Heros cost 10% less not Heros start Level 3, but that one is nice as you can Sauda start on Impopable now
I don’t even play this game anymore you’re just very entertaining
Dabloon is back it action
Enjoying this a lot ❤
Because of this series I got 2 black borders I can’t thank you enough
This is the best background noise when I work from home!

I literally have the same set up as you on chimps and i keep dying
hell yeah dabloon speedrunning arc
I absolutely use this series as a guide :D
Could someone explain the economics of the 2-0-2 farm selling strat?
Me keeps screaming "gets sub com but never ever gets a Ballistic to take care of any Leads..... WHY!?!?!?!"
half cash had me struggling, huge help

Yesss so happy to see this
When new maps come he has to go back and do it 😂
I’m definitely using this as a guide to help me remember thanks 🙏🏾
I like this series and I'm also trying to black border every map as well !
These are so entertaining. Please do more
50:12 I don’t even have this game I’m just here for the entertainment.
LOL that is awesome! I think you would enjoy the game if you tried it tho!
@@Dabloon yeah I’m considering getting it.
Saudas ability sometimes wont work because the bloons are not on screan

Best series ❤
glad you like it!
Nothing gets past his bow🗣️🔥🗣️🔥
Love these videos so far, but it really bothered me how you would NOT get the wizard paragon for a long time lol
new to the series cant wait for the next map
If u wanna go fast and get a free win on every beginner map and even beyond that, just play apache prime :D, best strat for easier maps
You definitely helped me with apopcalypse
I have a hatred for Half Cash. It is such a terribly unfair gamemode. However, I want to black boarder everything. So I have to play it.
I LOVE YOU MAN!
man i just bb all maps with you all along the way even if we lose i keep going with you
Im sorry to say, i will not get out of town. I am sorry Dabloon.
"hopefully you are using this as a guide"
Me who's using it for entertainment:
I am using this videos to beat half cash and only half cash
Dabloon you know you can use that free resume you have
Whit apocalypse you don’t have to put sauda at front because the round will go anyway even when you pop the round slow
I am binging the series and all of the parts are about 1-1.5 hours long wjat have I gotten myself into
You know you can golden border it right? Its something with chimps mode
Dabloons seriously doesn't know he can exit to home?
Wye would he need to🤨
If he does, he's gonna get the red medal, not black
@@iamacoff3that's only on chimps. Op is referring to when he's about to lose on modes such as apopalypse or reverse
@@ooSyzygy ok
Well this is a speedrun he’s doing so using the home button will loose some time
Love it 💕
Ice + glue with glaives is incredible
Fun fact: 2-0-5 sub doesnt need village to see camo if a tower with camo detection see camo sub see camo too
Can someone tell me why I don’t have monkey meadow black borderd even though I completed all of the stuff I have to do… what am I doing wrong??
Which of the 14 Medals are you missing? Is it Bronze, Silver or Gold Bordered instead?
If it's Good Bordered that means you beat CHIMPS from a saved file, to get the Black Border you have to beat CHIMPS in one go
Tip:get moab assasin for an instant 1 shot moab and loads of dmg for bfb
My strategy for impoppable is Sauda and max. 5 Banana Farms otherwise you get to greedy.
saudas ability is slightly bugged and doesnt always trigger when bloons are barely on track
