Why Villages Are Overpowered

[@Hbomb]

The Monkeyopolis tip near the end was the best tip in the video (just a heads up if you didn't want to watch the whole thing). I have used a village or 2 in just about every single game (outside of primary, military, and magic monkeys only). If that doesn't show how good they are, idk what will

[@ArthurDraco]

It feels like it's either an oversight or a bug, so NK will probably fix it soon.

I always purchase the 25k tower to save 1.5k! It's such a wonderful investment :) And I get a free mega balista attack on the side!

[@alexhuang4769]

It's not very good on the x-2-x glue gunner because you won't spam them. But the free tier 2 is better on moab maulers since you will use many of them so more money will be saved. But still the free tier 2 is not that good you buy the primary expertise for the ballista and primary buff not the free tier 2. A more efficient way to save money is to buy the bottom path.

[@Hbomb]

Huh, I did miss that. I kind of mentioned it when talking about only needing to pay for the base monkey and tier 3 of mauler spamming, but I should've called it out more.

[@zachlewis9751]

The village is one of the towers that every path and every upgrade are great. The only issue with the village is that the base tower is not that great, and I just see that as investment cost in the tower. 1, even if you aren’t using bottom path tack a 300 village is always just worth it because you are going to have 200 anyways, and 300 will buff almost all your defense for very, very cheap. If you have any primary cool downs then you should get a 400. And 500 is just plain strong all on its own without it budding other towers. 2, buffs everything no matter what. 020 is the most reliable camo defense in the game. Don’t have to spend extra money on camo upgrades, don’t have to rely on certain monkeys attack speed or missing. 030 is crazy strong for how cheap it is, completely invalidates DDTs. 040/050 are some of the strongest buffs in the game for towers. 3, money and greed makes this game easy. Just getting a single 002 village saves you a game changing amount of money. 003/004 are incredible at making money. If there isn’t space or if you just want to be lazy, a 003 is a really great way to increase your income, and 004 is almost necessary for late game farming with anything. And 005 is just the strongest single farm in the game.

[@Hbomb]

I 100% agree. Everything about it is good but the base tower

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Well, the base tower has been poor ever since they moved the upgrade cost discount from base to a separate upgrade.

[@stanley30543]

[@bugfriendz]

its important to note that the tack shooter double-dips in primary village upgrades, as the projectile speed also increases the total range since the projectiles work on lifespan.

of course primary expertise is the best tier 5 in the game. everyone knows from challenges that it's the best way to beat round 76 on cubism and end of the road.

[@krimson5736]

The monkey village is basically an upgrade for every monkey in its range

[@Idontknow-jd1wu]

for the shower thoughts segment. an ac130 gunship can go up to 28,00 ft, the b-52 can go up to 50,000 ft, and the b2 spirit can also go up to 50,000 (may or may not be accurate because i took these from wikipedia) while a blimp can go below 20,000 and upto 60,000 ft. if the moab class bloons were flying at 20,000 and the aces are flying at the max they cant crash into a moab class bloon.

[@MSlocum669]

Nice editing. I agree towers are op. I have a hard time picking which two paths to use myself.

[@arttukettunen5757]

Ballista is like that glaive ricochet upgrade the glaive lord should have. Swoops super cerams and has just enough damage to one-shot moabs before ramping. It can solo to quite high rounds, even over 80, though it might not always connect and change direction correctly leaving the projectile wasted.

Honestly i just used the top path cause i didnt know how to use the bottom but now i will use all of them

[@Hbomb]

Yeah, the bottom path is even useful in CHIMPS for that discount

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Bottom is good for Deflation (you buy a 0-0-2 Village, purchase some upgrades and then sell the Village to put something else in return) and CHIMPS (since the discount upgrade is the only money bonus in that mode). There's also the fact that a single 0-0-2 Village discounts more Sun Avatar money cost than what the 0-0-2 Village added.

[@hamedalnakhal10]

Good job bro thank you sooo much i needed that video long time ago and here you are 💙🔥

[@normalchannel2185]

If you are just going ahead and using the village for camo detection, there is a better strat. you can put shimmer wizard monkeys(0-0-3) at the start of the track, and that perma strips camo for less money than getting a village that has a limited range. also, you can start slow with only 1, but late game you need 3 to prevent bleeding. this is especially necessary on hard gamemodes like chimps and most importantly, BTD battles 1 and 2. and yes, it can strip DDT camo too
