How To ALWAYS Beat Every Boss In BTD6 (Beginners Guide)

[@MackanRules]

Let's see some additional boss tips in the comments! I learnt alot myself when making this video, im not scared of Dreadbloon's rock bloons any more!

[@liamsyahroni]

I love your vids mate keep going.

[@RickMattison314]

There is a mod that allows you to play against all 6 bosses at once. You got any tips for *that?*

[@James-ym9sv]

You missed a few dreadrock details: Blimp only attacks cannot target them except Myrkul, knockback boomerangs and fighter plane missiles. The dreadrocks also do not have the lead nor the ceramic property. About the lych-soul, they can be stalled by paragons.

[@sirjorm]

thanks for covering the rock bloons, it always feels like they have more hp than dreadbloon itself

[@EvelynUwUwastaken]

They feel invincible it’s insane

[@dzigayu4944]

I hate those rock bloons so much, maybe the most obnoxious boss gimmick fo all 6.

[@James-ym9sv]

He missed some details about them which I will entail here: Most blimp only attacks except Myrkul, knock back boomerangs and fighter plane missiles cannot target the rock bloons. They don’t have the lead nor the ceramic property.

[@aGameScout]

Your explanation videos are always exceptionally high in quality - it's amazing how fast you've risen to the top of the already very stacked bloonstuber lineup!

[@MackanRules]

Thanks alot!

[@diamondnether90]

After 13 years, someone finally beat btd6

[@nebula189]

Thank you, this is long overdue for a new payer since all the boss guides are outdated, and even for veterans like me since the metas always changing and it gets hard to keep up

[@janLusija]

blade maelstrom is a really good cheap way to deal with cleanup on tier 1 bloonarius (normal/elite). just make sure you don't damage bloonarius too fast, or else the ablity cooldown won't come back in time for the next ceramic wave

[@danivadorgameplay5806]

Sure, but isn't a 4xx boomerang is just more reliable? I always do that instead and it's similar price wise.

[@personal.assistant]

​@@danivadorgameplay5806Yep! At least as long as there's a good enough spot for it (which there is on pretty much every map imo😅)

[@minimum850]

While the guide usually doesn't use buffs and debuffs in its solutions for maximum simplicity, they are VERY important. Overclock is extremely useful for farming, it's pretty easy to slot in by tier 2 (you're gonna want to use it for farming after tier 1 or at least tier 2) and makes a lot of boss damage towers, especially those recommended for normal tiers 2-3 and elite tier 2 a LOT stronger. Usually something like two of flying fortress/mad/rod/avatar of wrath+poplusts with overclocks, jungle drums and alchbuff if applicable can beat elite tier 3s without much of a sweat. Debuffs are also extremely useful for quick kills to get back to farming faster. Glue strike/embrittlement/super brittle/cripple moab(dependson tier, of course)+buffs+overdrive spam(or sun avatars, if tack isn't present, but also can be used to destroy the first skull of dreadbloon) obliterates the first three (two on elite, after that you're better off with paragons) tiers of any boss. Don't forget to put your early farms and boss defenses near water if possible and selling them in range of a 004 buccaneer for extra cash right after a tier to get back into making dolla with more of a swing. Lych and Dreadbloon's spawns mostly create a dps floor than anything else. Get a stronger defense if necessary, the options are outlined in the video, though i wouldn't recommend things like maulers and turbo charges unless there's nothing else for any boss. Tack strats absolutely do work on Dreadbloon. Blastapopoulos' gimmicks aren't much to worry about if you can beat rounds at a decent pace to not get caught during a stun and don't build a defense out of many purple attacks. Trying to lower the heat with ice attacks is either too expensive in the earliest tiers or futile later, only use the embrittlement path for debuffs. Ninja paragon has heaps of bonus camo damage, making it pretty value against Phayze, especially with its permanent grand sabo effect to halt the rounds that teleport way into the track. Not much else though. Buccaneer and Engineer make a lot of money, while Ace deals a lot of damage, making it easy to get decent degrees on these paragons. Every 1 cash made counts as 4 pops for calculating paragon power. Defenses with an overclocked Flying Fortress, especially elite tier 3, come into play here again. Dart paragon is extremely easy to get high degrees on and it can usually be used as a replacement to the boomerang paragon, it just needs an extra 20 degree milestone. Also, even if the map doesn't have a lot of walls for the dartagon's attacks to bounce off of, placing it in a way that makes the attack collide with an obstacle and split on top of/right behind the boss still heavily increases its damage output.

Every time I watch one of Mackan's videos I'm reminded again how much better he is than all the other BTD6 KZbinrs, the deduction to testing and production quality makes him a true "BTD6 Scientist". Seriously he needs to be given some kind of medal or doctorate! Thanks for all your hard work, we love and appreciate you

[@ShinyTillDawn]

If you can, try to get your sacrificial towers for your paragons before hitting the next checkpoint so that you can retry the start of a boss tier with different amounts of money in the cash slider to get those multiples-of-20-degree paragons. If you just get 100 upgrade sacrifices and nearly max out the cash slider, you can get a degree 61 paragon.

[@EvelynUwUwastaken]

5:30 Lych is pronounced with a T sound that doesn’t appear in the word, so ”Lytch”

[@MkMicka]

A blade maelstrom works too for the inside of the bloonarius (normal and elite), just don't deal too much damage triggering two skulls too fast, and the new tackagon will be amazing to beat tier 3 and 4 bloonarius (normal and elite) without worring about the inside. I highly recommend always going for a elite defender for tier 1 elite lych, it just work too good and it doesn't require much macro. If a tower is really close to vortex, the projectile will bounce inside the shield when it hits the skull dealing massive damage, but it won't be very useful since most towers doesn't have bouncy projectile and the towers will get stun. For the normal lych tier 2, the elite defender works very well too. A tip for dreadbloon is primary+military as the rock doesn't spawn in the primary phase and the military has in general the strongest towers/paragons. The MIB will be very useful when you're dealing with the dreadbloon and the little piece of rocks he spawns. If you have the mk double crossbow master be sure to always get it when you're going for Apex because it will always get you to degree 20+.

[@Bonelord69]

The best strategy is to not keep backing out after every slight mistake. I used to do this a ton, and I stopped having fun with bosses when I did. You will (almost) always have some wiggle room and these mistakes are what build tension and relief. Otherwise you will have more headaches with not much extra benefit.

[@lsp6032]

do you even played rank boss?

[@Bonelord69]

@@lsp6032 Nope lol, its definitely not what i consider fun

[@ShinyTillDawn]

Admittedly, I back out a lot during my unranked, elite bosses. Sometimes, you can get away with overdefending on a particular round of AI bloons. You really don't need a highly-optimized farm for most unranked bosses.

[@bmanjamin]

you can also do a support temple (i use xxl trap for sacrifice) and a ton of sun avatars and that shreds the boss

[@bmanjamin]

tack paragon could be useful for bloonarius tier 4 as well

[@personal.assistant]

Very much depends on the map. I dont think its gonna be the best option, or even reliable enough on a lot of (if not most) maps!! Especially since you'd need to decamo the spawned ddts quickly enough for the tac-paragon to still be able to deal with them so its probably not a super beginner-friendly option ;)

[@bmanjamin]

@ i def think it’s gonna be like the dartagon where on some maps its really good but others it’s shit

[@Ikuyo_Kita01]

I never thought of using an imf loan to get an early miniopolis. I'm gonna start using that farming strat from now on. Thanks!

[@sfisher923]

Two Tips I found useful 1)If the boss is driving you up the wall it's better to restart (Or in worst case give up) then to spend time and money getting nowhere 2)Use the Boss Challenge to practice whether boss you're struggling with in their downtime (It's not 100% effective because NK Modifiers but it's a very strong start) Also - 28:45 I'm very guilty of that and what makes it worse most of the time it's during T1 when it's the most important to not do that

[@SniperMonkeyYT]

i do that on tier two cuz i have to micro the MAD about the "don't place farms during boss fight"

[@audreymoore5552]

Will be coming back to this video again and again! you're the best.

[@EraX52]

As someone who has watched countless Punji tutorials, although I am still not the best, I can confirm that this video is really good, really in depth, and there are some things I still did not know about of some of these bosses. Thank you Mackan, you rule for all these tutorial vids

[@MackanRules]

Thanks! :)

[@asphyxiuh]

[@kobelomarrmenrije5148]

Considering the type of bosses ninja kiwi are giving us (500% speed and 200% health dread baloon) yeah this guide will help

[@fivetales2672]

17:36 in a few days its only most paragons that see camo, not all

[@charlescalvin3421]

Every btd6 player should see this video!!

[@wypmangames]

i feel like elite breadbloon should have 7 skulls (8 toggles) going through each immunity phase twice (from support it goes to primary at skull 3-4

[@btdoverclock]

7:19 Correction its 6 seconds not 7.5 seconds.

[@trinstonmichaels7062]

Thanks I really do struggle with the elite version.

[@Courraff]

14:30 i didnt know t4 and t5 elite has more reduced damage, this boss would be more of a threat then the rock bloons if it would scale each tier

[@lsp6032]

Most importantly, good luck when doing ranked runs, ranked boss, especially least tiers or least cash involved significant micro that may caused other bloons to sneak through(like ace micro if using doomship in least tiers and least cash, last week elite which involved megalodon micro), many cases it required entensive retries via quit and reenter if you can't instakill a boss(timed ranked), die to nautrals or boss spawns(least tiers and least cash), and also antistall rounds if timed, but stall rounds if strategy required it as much as needed(don't be afraid of penalty if the leaderboard is least cash or least tiers except some cases, like when leats tiers but all top 100 is all the same tiers used, that would involve either stall rounds to just barely avoid penalty, or antistall rounds like timed boss), some bosses would have the naturals or boss spawns being much harder than the boss itself, for example, last week chimps least cash bloonarius normal, many guide makers stated r125 with 2x FBAD are the true boss instead of bloonarius, normal lych bloody puddles least cash was so hard that many many tries were required to beat the boss and not die to bloons.(also try to find ways to cut tiers if it is a least tier boss, last time Fenix posted a 62 tier geared lych caused the LB to be full if 62, causing me to cut off 2 tiers just to get above the 62s and barely within top 50), don't be scared if t5 boss almost made it to the end when doing leats tiers or least cash, and remember not to trust FBTD's guides, he is a cheater that was called out by many otber ranked boss players!!

Paragons can always damage phayze… tack paragon moment 💀

tbh im curious if tack paragon could be meta for bloonarius

[@Gamerboy29014]

I learned this the hard way with Elite Dreadbloon😢 1:19

[@justinramdoo3819]

This is great and all but there is a much easier way, just put down Quincy nothing gets past his bow

[@texavon6168]

@MackanRules I know it's a lot less important than all these other tips, but if you have time, could you make a "Boss Hero Tier List" I'm never usually sure what the best performing Hero is every event unless Ben or Geraldo are available.

[@vovablood]

The main reason i dont like doing bosses on ranked mode is because i really like using banana farmers and tech bots

[@Kitten479]

You should of did the last one on ranked, since it was on chimps it didn’t change anything

[@vovablood]

@Kitten479 ill start doing ranked when I feel competitive about the game, even last one I didn't do because it wouldn't feel like a good medal/whatever to start on, but that one was just my personal weirdness

[@justenoughrandomness8989]

isn't the middle crosspath for moar glaives and recursive cluster better when you have alch buff?

[@jellyfisch4238]

Mackan is my best friend (I do not have a gun to my head)

[@ethanthehumanbeing1]

Correct me if im wrong but i thought that base towers counter toward a tier, so i just do 20 022 darts for the paragon

[@tlsgrz6194]

I think they count for the Least Tier mode, but not for Paragons, but I could be mistaken

[@lsp6032]

those dart monkeys count towards tiers used, last time dart paragon was involved in a 26 tiers elite blastapopoulos strategy that took over the entire top 100, effectively making it timed boss

[@JoelTheParrot]

I wouldn't call my self a beginner but this should save me some trouble 2 sticky bombs is recommended for elite bloonarius t1? i thought they wouldn't stack i actually ended up using a lot of moab assassins on a lych ct tile during the previous ct event (waste of time, i spent 2 1/2 days worth of tickets and while the first day is really fast since you only get 4 tickets, the other two days took several hours, and i only got like, 1000 currency. that gamemode is unfathomably bad) i like how you advertise a bloonarius rush right before an update is coming out lol there's another condition with ranked, you can't use powers to make it extra easy or afkable

[@MackanRules]

You're right, stickybombs don't stack. I recommended 1-2 of them because on some maps 1 might not have enough map coverage :) And yeah can't use powers in ranked, good point.

[@JoelTheParrot]

@@MackanRules Ahh ok!

what if i wanna defeat elite phayze on #ouch lol
