about the towers in chimps. Boat paragon is very likely a bad tower to get cuz it would kill your stall which is needed for LotN. if you're wondering "why not get ninja paragon in chimps as well?". while it would be a great asset but it is practically impossible to save up for. and even if you could you need to ultraboost all your jistus way before the setup is done, so getting a ninja paragon at any time would most likely end your run because of the missing damage.

[@criticaltipper7699]

It is a 600k tower why would you get it in chimps or do you just mean free play without monkey knowledge

@@criticaltipper7699 no I mean chimps. You get more money than you might think

​@@Lt_Koro you get 178k in Chimps, no way to make more. Boat paragon costs over 400k with the tier 5s. There is something wrong with your math.

[@sooos_2294]

​@@Lt_Korook there is almost no reason to even argue here, this video is about freeplay, it has nothing to do with chimps. Not a single paragon is possible to place in chimps because of the very limited money. No true sun god can be achieved either. Adora won't even reach lvl 20 in chimps. If you think you can place a boat paragon in chimps, try it out for yourself, you would be the first person to ever to that.

[@ChiselEntity]

3:00 > To help with quickly upgrading Heros for late-game, You can actually just press the tower upgrade hotkeys. (The Comma, Period, and Forward Slash which normally upgrade top, middle, and bottom path for towers, all work to purchase hero upgrades. They look like this: ", . /" and are located next to one another to the left of the rightmost Shift button.) They can all be pressed at the same time or in rapid succession to level Heros up much faster then you could by mouse (Especially during the more laggy rounds!!) Do keep in mind, however, that leveling a Hero from 0-20 usually costs from around $200-$300 thousand, so make sure you're prepared to go bankrupt when you want to make Quincy your main DPS tower and need to micro all his abilities.

[@tehpronoob7380]

First time lategame I went on Resort/Hard, went for a bathroom break and forgot I had auto-start on. Lost at ~260. That hurt, but at least I got to see how laggy this game could get lol

[@tetra8157]

i feel like as more paragons get added, geraldo will be the best hero for lategame for the paragon power totems

[@marxunemiku]

i would add that you should put temples over frozen pools to get the flagship buff

[@MightZJPoepet]

I must wonder how the late game meta will look once there are at least 20 paragons added. Could Geraldo ever reach the apotheosis of late game or will the super monkey paragon synergize too well with Adora? Just food for thought.

[@estolee5485]

My thoughts are that eventually, when all paragons are released, the damage output from high degree paragons will outclass anything else. It is impossible to predict with certainty, but I'm sure at the minimum Geraldo will get to the point of being "viable" when more paragons come out.

[@MightZJPoepet]

@@estolee5485 There's a chance, but that would need to come with a new way to gain degrees for paragons; ever since Geraldo was nerfed in its ability to be sold and rebought for paragon totems, it takes a while just to get the current paragons to their max degrees.

[@estolee5485]

@@MightZJPoepet No, it wouldn't. It only takes 20 totems for each degree 100 paragon, so there is more than enough time to get every hypothetical paragon to degree 100 in a late game scenario.

[@MightZJPoepet]

@@estolee5485 I don't think it is as easy as you make it seem: in total there are 23 potential paragons as of now and even if you spammed cash drops in easy difficulty, got Geraldo lvl20 round 1, and used up every farm insta monkey you have, you would still have to account for the pops of the paragon, therefore it would take around the 50's to get your first degree 100 paragon assuming you have infinite money. By the time you can start placing a paragon every 20 rounds, the bloons would start gaining a huge ramp-up in hp that the bloons would start pushing regardless of new paragons past round 300, similar to ISAB's video when he got every paragon up to degree 100 while struggling heavily despite using the perma-morphosis bug.

[@iwersonsch5131]

How far can you get in Cornfield with just the space _between_ the corn (i.e. without the middle patch)? I believe you can fit one medium tower and 2 small towers plus a bunch of Geraldo items. Round 140 is doable for sure, didn't push past that cause I'm not much of a freeplay guy

I think the only paragons that require both it and their corresponding tier 5s include: Ace, Buccaneer (if you need a 2nd carrier flagship), Engineer, Submarine, and possibly Wizard (though I think the damage differences are relatively small).
