As the famous Giant Condor once said: "Moab goes back haha". Yeah these two are getting nerfed. Have you tried them as a combo or at least one of them btw? How easy was it lol.

[@karelpompi5029]

nah, I don't use beast handler. I know he is good but it is annoying as hell to play him.

[@Crea.mp4]

I've been using bottom mermonkey a lot since launch its just so good XD Also the thibg with top glue where it detonates all the DoT makes it insane against BADs its hella fun to use As for the beasg handler i only recently started using it a lil, its too complicated for my caveman brain to use

[@gCarrot]

@@EthanReid beast handler is by far my favorite tower as its upgrades are really strong and its fun to use. kinda funny as i used to think it was utter trash when it released.

[@juanmiguel5000]

I did a 2 mega pops with the pouakai.. it was the easiest 2 mega pops ever

[@ParagonQuille]

@juanmiguel5000 I did the same then went back and did an all pops out of spite for people who say beast handler is bad. It was easy as hell and only needed a moab glue for round 40, after that needed 0 support

@@EGO.BReAKERR top path merm is s tier? yeah no lol. s tier is reserved for the greats, im talking relentless glue, top alch, condor, sabo, moab press. Even outside of chimps its not good, its pierce buff isnt worth it, damage isnt enough. Also, bh niche? i'd say fish is niche as it requires extensive support to deal with the mess the thrash leaves behind, but trex being niche? oc trex shreds for how cheap it is, condor is insanely broken with how it relocates blimps, stalls, and can send things right at the exit all the way back. Pouakai is practically an instant win if you get it up, and since your stepping stones can be max merge geagle and triple condor its very doable.

For a whole ZOMG even, they should make it a bit different to make the tower actually viable

[@Kitten479]

I love BMA but I don't understand the point in making it not make extra money for t3 and t4 then BMA which still does throw the potions that give you extra money from Bloons and if you don't pop them it will also turn them into red Bloons defeating it's entire purpose 😂😂

[@Kitten479]

@@xd3athclawx554 the only 2 solutions are make BMA like trojan and have it so the Moab doesn't leave children after popping it but gives slightly more money than you'd have got from the entire Moab. Or make BMA much cheaper and make it take only reduce layers by 1 and make it so BMA can't affect that Moab and make all layers under it give more money maybe even make BMA s gold as a different one so the t4 can affect the bloons the Moab leaves.

I had to use mostly turrets that can shoot through walls and had to have perfect placement and almost lost my mind when I popped the bad and all the insides but my permaspike wasn't enough by one single ceramic bloon that leaked. Needless to say, I never ever played this map again how traumatized I was.

[@captainobscurity491]

I did all three of these things to increase my front squat 1rm by 60 in two months last year. Tbh that progress was also enabled by having a training base of years of back squatting but never really doing heavy front squats. It was really fun to basically make begginer gains again after years of training by seriously training I lift I'd been avoiding for too long. Got my front squat from really disproportionally bad to about 80% of my high bar like it ahould be.

[@disk3001]

I feel like bottom path Mermonkey might need some nerfs, cause that thing is just head and shoulders above all the other stalling tower right now. Yes it's expensive at around 10k Yes all the tier 1-2 Mermonkey sucks But the instant DOT pop on top of the best stall in the game is just a bit too much The pairing with Glave Lord is especially broken, and they out damage everything in that price range, making a lot of games just "survive until you get 41k and you win" The fact that Finale Harmonic uncaps the DOT bursts means that it melts even B.A.D.s in seconds I had 55k+ leftover in CHIMPS on an expert map and it wasn't even close once you stabilized the early game The closest comparison is probably bottom path Glue, but that things needs camo detection, a good spot to attack and gets pierce capped fairly easily, and it's not even that much cheaper than the Mermonkey. On top of that is the damage boost it provides, making it feel like having both the bottom and middle path Glue for the price of one Love the tower though and makes top path Glue a viable late game damage dealer, which is fun. It's just a bit too efficient

[@Jaxz69-uj4if]

It also buffs heroes in range man, it does it all and I love it for it. I hope they do a price increase and not an effect decrease as consistency pretty much makes or breaks the tower

[@m4rcyonstation93]

It's quite good but inconsistent. It could get some nerfs yea, especially it's bad dot detonation thing, but the stalling itself is relatively tame. (For clarification harmonic only melts bads, cuz bads don't get pulled in so the dot detonation can get reapplied the moment your glord or silver attacks again, unlike other Bloons which only detonate dot when they first get pulled in. Obviously stupid strong but it's more specific) Doesn't help that glord is probably the best damage tier 5 rn lol. I've seen arguments for flagship but... yeah glaive lord is stupidly good even without harmonic The real comparison is bottom path beast handler. Which absolutely needs nerfs, it blows harmonic out of the water lol. Commonly agreed to be the best tower in the game for chimps rn, yes including alch buff

[@6104]

Top path cross path on the mermonkey makes the melody attack faster!

The only buff you can put in the pouakai is the pircing one's, like top path mermonkey and striker jhones lvl 7, it's a nice buff to rounds like 98 how has a lot of rbe close

[@Aldritch9183]

No wonder I found it strange that I couldn't apply more buffs. When I thought of this combo, I also thought, "Yeah, maybe I'm being a bit greedy" xD

[@thexwhats2989]

I recommend if you play psi if you set psi on strong if any bloons get pooped in the front psi will keep attacking weak bloons while the strong ones are in the back

[@TheBeardedFrogSage]

Not much of a duo when there's an entire troop of monkeys also being involved, Psi and spactory especially. Even though Roborang is the weakest of the boomerang monkeys it was still present. The duo, however, is not as as good as the hype suggests, Ethan, but I suspect this will be the vanguard for more unnecessary nerfs of Beast and the beginning of the unnecessary nerfs to Merm.
