  • Geraldo is the newest hero to BTD6, and his mystical shop is full of overpowered items that make most runs a piece of cake. Either with with loads of money using the action figure, or utilize the numerous buffs that are at his disposal.
    I love teaching people things in Bloons TD 6! You'll see BTD6 quick tips, farming tutorials, crosspath comparisons, hero breakdowns, strategies, Easter Eggs, XP Grinds, Regrow Farm tutorials, the best things in Bloons, and much more!

    Don't forget that the cape let's you squeeze Super Monkeys into a space that normally only small tower can fit into AND ive seen that if the dart monkey has ptraining or pmentoring, the resulting super monkey keeps the buffs. It's insane.

      the top path village buffs unfortunately don't persist if you reload a save or lose connection in co-op and have to rejoin, hopefully if it keeping those buffs is intentional that they fix that given the game still knows it has the cape, as someone with pretty garbage internet

    some things I've discovered with this new hero:
    when the dart monkey is buffed by Primary Mentoring village and you convert it to a super monkey, these buffs remain on him
    the hot sauce buff inherits the tower's properties, so if you have a tower that has a camo upgrade (edit: NOT A NNJA for some reason), now the genie can also see camo, and since he can pop leads, you basically have a camo-lead popper for 600$ if you use a 002 dart monkey
    the pickle slow and the alch speed buff cancel each other out, so it's a +1 free dmg on alch buffed towers
    just to let you know how OP he can be

      Honestly! I bet Geraldo and free dart monkey can duo into mid 20s if you really wanted to be efficient, and that gives you time to get the Quincy statue thing
      Edit: I have tried it on hard mode (granted it's on logs but whatever) and you can solo with dart monkey and Geraldo for long enough to get the action figure around round 13, probably closer to 15 on impoppable. I can't say for sure that it's viable on harder maps but it could be good if you're struggling on the easier maps for some reason.

    I love watching your breakdowns, you do all of the research beforehand to explain exactly how everything works! There's nothing wrong with the channels that try to just figure it out live, but I like often I just wanna see how it all works.
    Something I think people are going to realize soon in Boss events is the combo of the rejuvination potion and Monkey-nomics.
    Also it just occurred to me, in addition to other positions people mentioned, the worn-cape can allow for a Super Monkey on the barrel on spillway.

  • @psiseven

    Keep in mind that the paragon totems restock at one totem per round, and you would need 60 totems to bring a paragon from level 76 to level 100 (54 for the dart monkey). So if you got a level 20 Geraldo at round 1, you would not be able to bring all the available towers to max level until round 234 at a minimum. This is incredibly helpful, but no you won't be able to spam 100 level paragons once they're all added.

  • @alantanmiaothong635
    @alantanmiaothong635 2 роки тому

    Geraldo is pretty powerful, but I would say its compensated with the need to really micromanage him to get maximum value. That kind of ties in with his role as a shopkeeper. Want to get an exponentially growing bank? Sacrifice your defense (up to round 10 on hard) as well as your early game farming for it. Want OP farms? Make sure you're checking his shop for the fertilizer restocks. Miss a totem and let it double up? Whoops, that's one extra round you have to wait to get that lvl 100 paragon.
    I wouldn't mind the EXP nerf, but honestly Geraldo has opened up and made many builds more accessible to casual players like myself. He makes me more engaged in the game than I used to be - it was all plop down early game, plop down flagship/PoD/Sun God, plop down permaspike and win. Now, he makes me consider different routes each game - let's do Solver, TBO, WLP, Archmage this game and that. I would rather keep him the way he is.
