i love the attention to detail on the sandbox gameplay footage, making it look like its chimps or giving yourself a believable amount of monkey cash, its the little things honestly.

[@olagustafsson7555]

Mortar is actually one of my favorites, i almost always go with the 2-4-0 for half cash and harder chimps maps because it deals more damage then any other tower for that price as long as you are good with its micro

[@jermm2183]

my favorite thing I see literally nobody do is pop and awe with jones. Helps a ton on chimps. To give an example... let's say you're on R98 on flooded valley. While pat is usually the best hero here, If you were to use a common chimps strat on that map like carrier flagship with tack zone and super brittle, R98 will be very close. But since you have pop and awe, you can completely stun bloons for about 30 seconds (use artillery command, the 30 seconds is also an estimate, might be more might be less) effectively killing every single bloon. Also an added bonus for permaspike stall or plasma monkey fan club cooldown stall, though I don't like to use pop and awe that way unless on R99 since the ability is busted in its own right and it has a stupid long cooldown

[@cinderschitt]

Great video, as usual! Do you guys think there should be a new mode added to each map in which the goal is to reach a round beyond 100, and is also quite diffficult? Otherwise, I don't know when to use paragons except for boss battles. However, the way paragons are used in boss battles is boring. Because they are deployed only at the end to deal damage without having been forced to utilize its tier 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 due to the map. For instance, you want to use heli paragon on bazaar because it is great on that map, and since it will do great damage it will benefit the paragon. But why would I want to use heli at the beginning of a boss battle? So, there is no natural way to upgrade to paragon except by the criteria of its damage-dealing capabilities. Thus, paragons are reduced to dps only, and not technique.

A tip for the top path glue and alch, for the glue if you are just going for a t3 or 4 go with middle path as the t3 has 1 peirce and the t4 has 2, if you are going for the bloon solver tho, go bottom path because it increases damage amount because it is applied for longer, for the alch you should go for the bottom crosspath for t3 and 4 but don't go for acid pool cuz it distracts it from buffing, if perma brew is ur goal go with middle crosspath t2 because perishing potions increases its strength, in summary go for a 320, 420 or 502 glue and a 301, 401 or 520 alch
