What is the best late-game hero?

[A-Posing Scout]

What i am specifying is rounds above round 100

[Hiroko]

geraldo, for his totems to get paragons past the otherwise degree-76 cap
specifically, bucc paragon, as this further reduces the cooldown between hooks
even if thats the only paragon you manage to get up to degree 100, its likely better than other heros buffing your temples.

[Ninja Zyborg]

Adora for paragon-less gameplay

[Red Sword]

Brickell is decent as well

It always depends on what you're running with it. For example, you could use ezili to deal with bads as she does huge bad damage, or you could go for psi as their ability stuns and kills basically every other bloon on screen besides bads. Those are just a few examples though.

psi falls off because stun resist/speed/lag and because the only thing that matters is dps vs BAD layer (bucc para, x5x bucc, xx5 trap, xx5 alch cover all other moab types)

Benjamin starts earning an acceptable income after about round 50, and is IMO the best overall hero since he makes the game's cash starvation less agonizing to deal with.

Although prohibitively expensive unless you're playing on easy mode, Churchill is insanely strong late-game.

a heavily-buffed Pat Fusty can do some good MOAB damage.


the rest of them are pretty trash. if you cheat at the game or have a bazillion cash drops, Adora can be pretty powerful for getting to rounds 200+

It is only Ezili for Round 100+ because of BADs.

Well yeah, but it also depends on they type of lategame. Obviously at that point they're pretty useless, but for earlier freeplay rounds (like 100-200) psi can let you focus more of your build on BAD damage.

ben : probably literally the worst late freeplay choice, and if income is so desperately needed then you aren't doing farming right to begin with

church : decent with buffs, but doesn't even begin to compare to buffing multiple temples

pat : the only thing that matters is his buff to other towers, which can actually be ok for VTSG buff

terrible choices. either go geraldo, ezili, brickel, adora

There is no type of lategame freeplay. Its all the same - go as far as you can. Psi doesn't go as far = not best.

[emilplane]

There is indeed some variety in freeplay. Most people just do logs where anything else other than bads are irrelevant, but if you’re doing chimps freeplay and/or freeplay on a harder map, you could use psi to deal with everything else as the other bloons are still a big concern.

Forgive my casual question but, what is late game in bloons?
Going over wave 100 in "free mode"? Boss mode? something else?
