ULTIMATE BTD5 TIER LIST!

Hey guys this is my BTD 5 Tower tier list! Make sure to comment down below if you agree or disagree, lets keep things civilized!

[@bertnost1253]

Welcome back to my channel! Be sure to agree or disagree, and also comment your favorite tower! Let's have a civilized discussion.

[@wilsonbevi8113]

I think my favorite tower is the glue gunner. I didn't know it didn't target moabs in this game, I come from BTD Battles

[@bertnost1253]

Yeah! The one in Battles actually detects moabs, and the liquefier can pop a moab on its own!

[@planeteliminator4806]

i also thought it glued moabs, thats the only reason i really used it in battles.

[@user-mf6mi2ed3p]

My favorite tower is Sniper. One sniper with upgrade "Maim MOAB" can win 10 BBF!

[@treyweyfat]

glue gunner worst tower in btd5 4-0 is the worst upgrade in the game as it’s a waste of 12.5k since 3-2 is always enough plus no camo and moab damage on all upgrades it’s stupidly overpriced everywhere

[@o-mega7515]

Bloon impact is a hard carry on almost any strat for me, It's like an ice tower except WAYYYYY bigger area of effect

[@thomasmurrell9832]

It's a great tower but ultimately it does need to be used in synergy. Eithout proper combos to deal with those stunned clusters (glue monkeys, ninja, and chippers come to mind) it's only so good

[@hadesKIU]

I'm almost a year late, but does anybody remember when the Ground Zero used to be able to one hit kill BFBs? This was right after BTD5 released, and it honestly might be the most overpowered tower in BTD history. It's up there with the BTD3 Blade Shooter, the BTD4 airplane (which never took any space on the map, allowing for infinite placement) and the BTD6 Alchemist's top path.

[@chainsawplayin]

alchemist top path? How about Geraldo who can 1TC with just a bit of reliable micro-stalling on one map?

[@thesaltgod]

@@chainsawplayin I don't really consider Geraldo being able to 1TC on Scrapyard to be the most monumental of achievements. Sauda on her initial release was also able to 1TC without actually spending any other money on other towers, and all you're really doing with solo Geraldo is simply buying towers from an alternative store. Mind, he has some massive synergies with tons of towers that open up strategies like never before, but these other towers are easily more busted and easier to use.

[@chainsawplayin]

@@thesaltgod I see you omitted 3 important pieces of info on purpose: 1. The map she could do the 1TC was Resort, released some time after her debut. 2. Sauda's 1TC could be considered mostly theoretical with how perfect the ability micro needed to be (it took a lot of "Retry last round" to do it) 3. Geraldo's sentries don't count as separate towers, just like an Engineer's sentries don't. This makes it a 1TC no matter what excuses you make. Also, Geraldo needs to micro only 2 rounds, and it's rather simple. And what is Sauda good for now, after the nerfs? Beginner maps and maybe rounds 26, 40, 76 and 78.

[@thesaltgod]

@@chainsawplayin I know that Geraldo's turrets and whatnot don't count as additional towers. What I mean is that you're still playing the same tower defense game, just buying your towers and tools from an alternative shop. And also, we're talking about all versions of a tower, so initial Sauda and initial Geraldo both are part of the discussion. I'd say that Sauda is more busted than Geraldo with how easy it is to use her, not that you could master her and do 1TC.

[@PassiveIZ]

4 - 2 mortar is pretty op if you have the mortar speciality building dings maxed so that it auto-aims. I love it.

[@lordlem]

The plane that shoots explosive darts should be S tier, that gets wayyyyyy more kills than the other one that drops a bombs

[@cacie.]

As a avid mortar user, i must say that your opinion is respected and to have a good day

[@bertnost1253]

Haha thanks! Mortars become S tier for me when using the specialist building ;)

[@Marshall.R]

I agree with a lot of this but I think the apache dartship should've gone even higher as one of the best towers in the game, because outside of multi lane tracks it really doesn't have a single weakness. Having just one down already obliterates the mid game but when you can start spamming more of them in the late game literally nothing can get past.

[@thefanof11plus]

SOOO TRUE bro when i was rank 52 i won more often because of this. i cannot use them now

[@TankieBoi]

Things I disagree with a bit: *Maelstrom* is B tier in my opinion, as it is around 3k for a tower that can easily pop round 63, 76, and the first wave on 78. If camo detection is supplied, it can handle 78's second wave as well. I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest way in the game to pop that many bloons, although it'd be A if it was better on multi lane maps and was able to pop 78's second wave without support. I'd put *Supply Drop* sniper in C tier instead of B tier because it's less mobile friendly, and it's too expensive to efficiently farm at all points in the game. It's completely outclassed by bloon trap if a damaging income tower is what you're going for. *Bloon Impact* is A tier for me because it is a near necessity on maps such as double double cross, where bloons are able to easily sneak through due to the 4 directions, and towers need time to pop them. It's also good for any stalling based strategies with towers such as spike factory, and combos well with glue hose. *Absolute Zero* is S tier 100%, it has the ability to stall MOAB class bloons in a similar manner to flash bomb, except it's cheaper and easier to use in my opinion. Both towers used together will slow ZOMGs and BFBs to a crawl. *Bloon Liquifier* is more of a B tier for me, 10 layers a second is a bit over the top when bloon dissolver's 2 layers per second does the job fine, and it's just too expensive. It has my favorite tower art in the game though so actually A tier. *Glue Hose* is probably C tier for me because, while I don't use it often, it combos excellently with Bloon Impact and is good at leaving no ceramic unglued, and slowing bloons is essential on maps such as double double cross where it's very easy for a pink or a ceramic that popped out of a MOAB to sneak right by. I agree that Glue storm is probably F tier though. *Aircraft Carrier* has to be a D tier for me, Specter and Apache are just better global towers. Carriers also tend to lag the game a lot in higher quantities. I'd have to put *Apache* and *Specter* in S tier, they perform excellently in mastery mode and I always tend to use them together; Apache does single target damage while Spectre cleans up Ceramics/MOABs like it's nothing. *I'd say that *MIB* and *Energy Beacon* are A tier, they are too expensive to be practical unless you farm very well, but both are fun if used towards the end of an impoppable run. MIB is fun for combining with overclock to god boost towers, and I like using energy beacon for odyssey life farming. *Banana Research Facility* deserves its own tier for how broken it is, especially when utilized with a glitch where you sell it at the end of a round, buy a republic, and upgrade it immediately after the round starts. This makes 6k+ profit a round, and usually marks an easy victory to come. Essential tower in mid-game mastery, as the 60's to 70's on mastery mode are not a joke and need ample farming to be beaten. *Support Chinook* is A tier because it makes odyssey much more manageable, and is the single reason that tower stacking is possible. I love tower stacking in Co-op as a joke so this tower is one of my favorites. *Bloon Trap* is S tier. It is incredibly overpowered, and if you use its specialty building, you can beat impoppable on most advanced maps using ONLY bloon traps (although it takes a little micro, and placing them is super annoying with all of the turrets. In the 80's, enough bloon traps can make upwards of 40+k in a round, which is insane.

[@dummyaccount1172]

I agree with you when you say glue strike is a terrible ability, but 2-3 glue gunner is actually pretty good at slowing down massive rushes like 63 and 76.

[@bertnost1253]

you're right!

[@PIKATHUNDER7]

Liking purely for the "like that smash button" at the end there 😂

[@Shape1425]

[@chumbosaurio7099]

Thanks for the video man!

[@bertnost1253]

Always!

[@obamacat3]

Maim moab goes waay higher you It should be only used in late game And to get the best of it have Strong Strong with village buff Strong without fast firing Strong without fast firing with village buff Repeat with last and first And some on close

[@SkyCentral382]

I think the Ring of Fire is well rated, just remember that putting it behind your Bloonchippers is extremely effective 👍.

[@kosakukawajiri5007]

So my fav set in Bloons was to stack up the 4/2 Ice monkey with a bunch of 4/2 Bombs near the start, and a bunch of 4/2 Wizards with a few 4/2 Chippers and maybe a couple 2/4 chippers. Man, I played wrong.

[@b51waterclub51]

Bloon impact in E tier is crazy. It's like $6,000 and pretty much takes care of all non-moabs

[@jaewooshin5384]

Fr it caught me off guard recently it definitely hard carried me impoppable difficulty in a hard map hard carried me from the ceramics although lacks camo detection just grab a village go 0.2 or 2.2 and your set but yeah I think probably Low S tier because of low Moab damage and no camo detection

[@void5982]

The sniper that slows blimps is crazy and the ice monkeys pop blimps

[@123dmytro123]

As someone mentioned already, a lot of very bad takes, i think because you rate only T4 and not over all or no combos, which is just not realistic in normal game. For example Ice is definitely top tier, everyone who play NAPS+FRILLS or Mastery knows 3/2 Ice + 2/3 Village is best combo in the game, it has infinite pierce and stop all non moab bloons, once you have it game is easy mode, most hard maps is just finding way to survive and get that combo. Also 2/3 ice can pop more bloons then 4/2 glue for like third of the cost, can even pop grouped moabs if they close by. Or dartling gunners being E tier when 2/1 Dartling is one of the best towers in the game, just spamming them you can even win impopable on all but harder maps. Or temple being S tier, when it's pure fun tower, for cost of max temple you can fill 50% map with bloon chippers and can handle 100s of ZOMGS, if you can afford a temple, you already won. Temple is just for fun or for going like round 200+ in Free Play, aka still just for fun, much better comparisons would have been between 3/2 and 2/3 super and maybe 2/4 since that one is also used a bit, not as much as T3 though. Also glue gunner is just objectively bad, he is strong yes but his price is not worth it at all, ring of fire or ice shards under arctic wind can pop all non moab bloons for like 20-30% of the cost or you can spend like 3-4k more and just get 3/2 super monkey or chopper or spectre, which also destory bloons in seconds but they have really good moab damage and can cover more then one lane if you are in harder maps.

[@bertnost1253]

@I Am Not frisk yeah it truly sucks against moab class bloons, but it melts every other bloon in seconds, super ceramics don’t stand a chance

[@weirdooftheyear]

@@bertnost1253you also shouldn't give maelstrom harsh treatment just because it cannot pop leads, it can be really good for sudden bloon rushes like in bmc and getting a bomb shooter isn't that hard

[@dogwithahat0383]

i might sound mentally insane but dart monkey 2-4 (super monkey fan club) is really good if you have max speciality because level three (or four i forgot) makes dart monkey darts explosive (the tower specific buffs are called specialities right?)

[@ballthatbounces626]

Your supposed to use both Canon types in conjunction with eachother I think. Destroy a moab then let the other one kill the small balloons. Ez money.

[@skitstheskitty2787]

god btd6 really did so much for dartling gunners huh, didn't remember how scuffed btd5 dartling gunners were. the intermediate stage between tier 3 in both games and ray of doom in btd6 was a godsend. lock in place makes them an actual option for my lazy ass too

[@Marshall.R]

If I remember correctly the specialty building gives dartling gunners that same target option. Also, you really don't find that much use for it on most BTD6 maps since it no longer has infinite pierce and regen farming has almost no utility anyways

[@Banana8D910]

My opinion for your tier list is that I feel your focusing on lead and camo for some towers and that does nothing with 1 or 2 wizard monkeys can deal with a ton of camo and has the cheepest camo lead possible

[@antoinobardom7336]

2-2 wizard= no CamoLead

[@arandomuserb1]

Boomerang Monkey, i dont play much btd5 because i play btd6 more, Boomerang Monkey is a good early tower but it sucks when mid-game

[@-N-R-]

I like the ninja monkeys but bloonchoppers are OP with the wide funnel

[@givikap120]

Spectre does more damage than the temple in the most of the maps, but costs much much less And you giving it "A" instead of "S", when it can solo really far just for 18k

[@tayclark42]

Meh temple is stronger

[@WaywardZeppelin]

For me personally, what makes a tower good is a whole list of factors, not just its raw popping power alone. Synergy with other towers is a big factor in what makes a tower good imo, and I prefer a passive defense to one where I have to use abilities a lot simply because when it matters most is likely when you're going to mess up. Anyway, I personally disagree with a few placements, but I'll just pick out the ones I especially disagree with. Spike Factories, Buccaneers, and Bloon Chippers, both paths for all three are low tier towers imo. Bloon liquefier and tempest tornado wizard are useless, and the main reason is because MOABs are a bigger concern than ceramics. That's all I'll say though, I agree with the majority of placements (maybe a little lower or higher) and this is all just based on individual playstyle and what you consider to be an important factor in a tower's utility.

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

I'm surprised that the Apache Dartship is not an automatic S-tier tower here. The thing destroys virtually everything on its own. It basically gives me some breathing room for some improv and sandbox. Also, Bloon Impact has excellent synergy with either the Bloonjitsu or the Vital Frost. Far from being a garbage tower.

[@just_laxin0262]

Thank you 🙏

[@minhtiennong7044]

My favorite tower is 2 4-2 helicopters and 4-2 ninja because: Helicopter can just shred moab-class blooms with ease and with monkey fan Clubs or bloonsjnsu to clean the small bloons and with overclock with M-I-B ability to the helicopter and it's just be a threat to the moabs

[@Shape1425]

Glue gunner are good for early game and for round with so many bloons. When it come to lategame where it just moab spam it's suck Ice does better job

[@Splash2011]

Tbh my favorite tower is sniper monkey Bc I play BTD5 on Nintendo switch on multiplayer a lot so I just steal their money with it

[@planeteliminator4806]

ik im late, but viral frost could be S tier because it de-camos bloons (well at least it does in battles)

[@Oscar-ko9ph]

I think the 4.2 ace should be an b tier it's not that good against bfbs on rounds like 83 and 84 and the 0.4 ace in my opinion should be an S tier it's so good if there is a lot of moabs and your towers are out of range the 2.4 sniper should be a C because the ability cooldown is so long and microing is not always good because how much experience it is the banana farm is way better the 4.2 bomb is so powerful on rounds like 63 and 76 if you have another blloon pooping tower and yeah I agree with the other towers good jop

[@DemiCape]

If 3 tiers was ranked I would probably put robo monkey at s tier.

[@DemiCape]

just one robo monkey can carry you to round 60 and with 4 robo monkeys you can beat round 80. Just spamming robo monkey will make the game so much easier.

[@DemiCape]

and for that reason i dont agree that terror is s tier, because it is much more worth it just spamming robo monkey, because the terror gets no more damage and even loses range of its projectiles, the only thing terror gets for pretty expensive is an ability. Just spam robo monkeys and you are so much better of with so much cheaper price than if you were to get terrors.

[@DemiCape]

basically terror is a robo monkey with an ability. Just having 2 robo monkeys is much cheaper and does better because it is double the damage than a terror because of course all terror gets is an ability. me personally think terror is easily c or d tier.

you REALLY underestimate the right path sniper you should never go for the 4th tier, just spam 3rd tiers and you'll be practically unstoppable, vast majority of the time you won't even be seeing the bloons on screen

[@fortnitesexman]

i think the way you rank the towers is incredibly strange counting them by themselves without taking into account combos is a really really weird way to approach this, cause why would you ever use them by themselves? that'd only happen in random missions n such, which isn't mentioned anywhere in the video so i'd have to assume it's not being taken into account, but what's weirder is how you also just..don't follow this rule, like with bloon liquifier, who should be F tier with this rule since it dies to a single moab no matter how many of them you have, but then you immediately follow this inconsistency up by trashing 2-4 glue for not being a DPS god on his own and another thing i find odd is how you treat the tower as if all previous upgrades don't exist, like saying 2-4 bomb is significantly more expensive lead detection compared to juggernaut, despite the bade bomb tower being like 1/3rd the price this leads to problems, like sabo being anywhere above F tier, by itself it's ability is practically useless and just makes it 3 times as expensive as it would be otherwise, since you obviously can't just settle with flash bombs, you need every single one of them to be sabos since tier 3's aren't real so yeah, lay down the ground rules and make sure they make any lick of sense before trying to make a tier list 💀

[@ricardoochoa3561]

The plane that shoots explosive darts should be S tier, that gets wayyyyyy more kills than the other one that drops a bombs
