Why Geraldo Is Overpowered

Geraldo is the newest hero to BTD6, and his mystical shop is full of overpowered items that make most runs a piece of cake. Either with with loads of money using the action figure, or utilize the numerous buffs that are at his disposal.
I love teaching people things in Bloons TD 6! You'll see BTD6 quick tips, farming tutorials, crosspath comparisons, hero breakdowns, strategies, Easter Eggs, XP Grinds, Regrow Farm tutorials, the best things in Bloons, and much more!

Don't forget that the cape let's you squeeze Super Monkeys into a space that normally only small tower can fit into AND ive seen that if the dart monkey has ptraining or pmentoring, the resulting super monkey keeps the buffs. It's insane.

the top path village buffs unfortunately don't persist if you reload a save or lose connection in co-op and have to rejoin, hopefully if it keeping those buffs is intentional that they fix that given the game still knows it has the cape, as someone with pretty garbage internet

some things I've discovered with this new hero: when the dart monkey is buffed by Primary Mentoring village and you convert it to a super monkey, these buffs remain on him the hot sauce buff inherits the tower's properties, so if you have a tower that has a camo upgrade (edit: NOT A NNJA for some reason), now the genie can also see camo, and since he can pop leads, you basically have a camo-lead popper for 600$ if you use a 002 dart monkey the pickle slow and the alch speed buff cancel each other out, so it's a +1 free dmg on alch buffed towers just to let you know how OP he can be

Keep in mind that the paragon totems restock at one totem per round, and you would need 60 totems to bring a paragon from level 76 to level 100 (54 for the dart monkey). So if you got a level 20 Geraldo at round 1, you would not be able to bring all the available towers to max level until round 234 at a minimum.

If you use the jar of pickles on Geraldo it gives that buff to all of the towers he places like the crossbows, Quincy figurine, and also the rabbit

[@Alacrity551]

You can give Geraldo the jar if pickles and it’ll buff all of his stuff. It basically lets you buff his crossbow turret army for a very cheap price

[@Alacrity551]

Forgot to mention, but I same works with the camo detection potion

[@Alacrity551]

I can’t spell

[@Krasser_Crusader]

I really love the concept of this hero. It all has been so well Designer and executed!

[@hexPixelStarships]

Getting 3 of the crossbow towers and you'll feel like having a crossbow monkey. With a bit more investment in his shop and you can deal with camo and lead. Basically you can use him to solo the entire early game. Then sell the crossbow towers, and start your build.

[@SlyRocko]

Considering how many CHIMPS strats start with dart monkeys, how many of them stay unlevelled, and the insane power of sun avatars, Geraldo sounds like he can open some very interesting strats.

[@matheusviolante8364]

Me taking a look at Geraldo's items: hmmm not bad not bad Me seeing the paragon power totem: YOU MEAN I CAN GET THE PERFECT PARAGON ACHIEVEMENT WITHOUT RELYING ON COOP? 😭😭😭🙏🙏

[@BeDatAPickle]

I'm saying, it's a miracle 😀

[@UnknownGamer-bw3kz]

Don't know if this is a bug, but if a primary village is already effecting a dart monkey, and you change it to a super monkey, it will keep that primary buff, but if you add it after it won't be buffed by it.

[@sfisher923]

One thing I just noticed that when using the Hero's Cape with Monkey Names your Dart Monkey gets the name you gave to the Super

[@alantanmiaothong635]

Geraldo is pretty powerful, but I would say its compensated with the need to really micromanage him to get maximum value. That kind of ties in with his role as a shopkeeper. Want to get an exponentially growing bank? Sacrifice your defense (up to round 10 on hard) as well as your early game farming for it. Want OP farms? Make sure you're checking his shop for the fertilizer restocks. Miss a totem and let it double up? Whoops, that's one extra round you have to wait to get that lvl 100 paragon. I wouldn't mind the EXP nerf, but honestly Geraldo has opened up and made many builds more accessible to casual players like myself. He makes me more engaged in the game than I used to be - it was all plop down early game, plop down flagship/PoD/Sun God, plop down permaspike and win. Now, he makes me consider different routes each game - let's do Solver, TBO, WLP, Archmage this game and that. I would rather keep him the way he is.

[@HeavyWeaponsGuyisHorny]

This character is just a Whole Bloons tower defense compacted in itself

[@MyPhoneHas13PercentBattery]

If you're bad like me and bought 2x cash, geraldo's quincy figure can be bought at the beginning and is pretty useful.

[@MyPhoneHas13PercentBattery]

Mostly because im too lazy to farm i have 2x cash.

[@RustInPeace1990]

If they nerf him, I’m asking for my monkey money back.

[@Mef_fi]

Everybody is having fun with Geraldo whereas I’m: 1: waiting for it to come to mobile 2: questioning why I spent my money on an Obyn skin and not saved up for a hero

[@therealchaosguy]

Because obyn go brrr

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the potion to get your lives and cooldowns back won't give you lives past your original amount. So if you started with 200 lives, you won't get more than that with the potion. But given each use resets every single ability cooldown you have, I think it's not much of an issue.

[@snappedwire3368]

My thing about Geraldo is that, he doesn’t feel like a btd6 hero. He feels more like a modded hero. I don’t know how to put it, but his ability just doesn’t seem like something that would in bloons normally. However it is probably just that we haven’t gotten a new hero since I started playing (October). Though maybe if I try him out a bit he’ll be pretty cool. You also have to respect the effort put into it.

[@Fluxuation]

EXTRA THING: the transformed super monkeys can be p buffed. yeah.

[@nettocap]

You can use Rejuvenating Potion to Farm also. Like, Reset the CD of Druids, Snipers, X5X Banana Farm.

[@darkloore]

Pretty sure the bunny is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.

[@TheGamingVanillite]

The only con I can think of Geraldo is that you need a lot of money to fully utilize him, but the can easily be overcome if you're a heavy farmer like me.

[@grandmagunsales2125]

*Hbomb publicly reads patch notes* *>cute bunnies to MERGE and MORPH* *Hbomb >doesn't merge them but says it gets global range when merged* I think I injured myself from facepalming as every bloons6 youtuber has done this little mistake of not showcasing the bunnies merged, I applaud not just you but the whole community. For all I know they turn into the bunny cannon/mortar from terraria with first permenantly active

[@sergeanthuman]

He is what most of us need: I wish super monkeys were smaller I wish farms gave more money I wish camo detection is cheaper I wish selling was more profitable I wish i had better popping power cheap I wish my paragons were stronger I wish pets could do something more I wish heros could buff more towers Geraldo: hello there

[@mrjamezjc9845]

by far the most unique hero ever released, he has so much to him with his shop and on top of that is also very strong, NK really outdid themselves with Geraldo, im so excited to see the next paragon and hopefully a new tower altogether too!

[@UnknownGamer-bw3kz]

I know Geraldo just came out but for his skin he should be the cabbage merchant from Avatar. Because people wanted Psi as Aang.

[@josephburris2273]

You can also put the pickles,invisible on him and it goes to all of his shop items
