Ezili and Adora

[Jammer439y8]

Right now, there are only three heroes I don't have yet, I figured that I would buy Corvus first because he's the most expensive. But before this thread turns into another Corvus hate thread, I would like ask one question, which one should I buy after that? I don't completely understand how to use Ezili, and Adora seems too "spammy" for my taste. So I'm not sure which one to pick over the other first.

I think it just depends, since you have a hundreds of heroes to help you grind.

I've got in this similiar situation as you, where I have 4 choices of heroes and I don't know what to buy first, and I even made a post about it, but half of the people telled that it just depends. However, I've made my choice and decided to bought Admiral Brickell.

In my opinion, you should buy Adora. She may level slowly but she's way better than Ezili.

Ezili

Ezili will just jinx bloons making them pop for every second temporarely. She can't even pop purple bloons unless her level 3 ability is activated. Making situations where you need to pop purple bloons but her ability is in cooldown and there is no type of tower which can destroy purple bloons.

Her level 7 ability is useless. "Do you need to buff your towers? No worries! Spend some HPs to get a random totem to buff them!" Why am I need to spend my HP just to buff my towers? Maybe trigger the Bomb Storm from Bomb Blitz? I would rather tank my HP for a unreasonal bloon swarm then wasting it just for the bomb storm.

Ezili's level 10 ability, however, will be perfect to destroy MOABs, since they will prevent their childrens to spawn. That's the only ability of her that at least have a good use.

So, in summary, Ezili is only good for MOABs or probably a small swarm of bloons. But I don't recommend to get her unless you're having problems in ABR where there is no good place for Sauda.

Adora

Adora is perfect to pop a bloon rush or fast bloons (like pink bloons) cause of her seeking bolts. Her level 3 ability is ok for me, it increases her range and allows her to destroy purple bloons. Again it may have a situation where there is a bloon swarm or purple bloon rush but her ability is in cooldown. Also, this ability just buffs her, so you gonna need to add more defense if her ability is in cooldown.

Adora levels up slowly, so if you want to make her gain XP faster, then look no further than the rip-off of 4-4 Wizard Lord from BTD5: Blood Sacrifice! Use it on your expensive tower that you hardly worked to get it, and Adora will level up faster! Also temporary buffing her. Having Adora is like doing the Wizard Lord special challenge from BTD5. So if you want to make Adora get to higher levels faster, then sacrifice your hard worked towers.

Adora's level 10 ability is like the 4-X-X Druid but stronger and flies around the map instead of going straigh. Cool ability, it's sad that I didn't bought her but Brickell will surely help me a lot.

In summary, Adora will help you a lot if you time her abilities correctly. You gonna need to give buffs for her to maximize her damage, however.

Final Results

In my opinion, I think you should get Adora, because her abilities is quite better than Ezili's. And if you use her abilities correctly, MOABs will not even be a problem to you.

You know, I did actually consider buying Adora before Ezili before you wrote this reply, and now that decision is final because I know how to use Adora better than Ezili. I actually didn't know Adora gained XP slower than other heroes, if didn't know that I would never use Blood Sacrifrice.

A little tip of Adora of her Blood Sacrifice ability: The expensive the tower, the faster she levels. That's why I tell to sacrifice the hard worked towers. For more info about a hero, strategies to a tower/hero, or others features, you can check on the wiki[bloons.fandom.com].

Also, does it means that you got your choice on which one you gonna buy? I kinda understand on what you mean about your final decision, but I didn't understand on what you gonna really buy after.

I prefer Quincy/Psi over Adora since you need a CTA to make her an actually good DPS option. She does buff Sun Avatars with Blood Sacrifice though.

Ezili is literally just her using Moab Hex on BFBs before Freeplay, and using Moab Hex on ZOMGs during Freeplay-100. Being able to ignore the RBE of all the ZOMGs on something like round 98 is really strong.

Why are Adora and Ezili (and Benjamin) the only Heroes without a Tutorial?

Idk. Why?

[thedevilfrog]

past round 100, ezili is the most powerful thing you can place on the table, better than any paragon or tower. Take round 200 on CHIMPS for example, 4 BADs to kiill, Ezili will take out 3 of them, whilst all the other towers combined cannot take out the 4th..

Because Ninja Kiwi hasn't made a tutorial for them.. not yet at least.

Things worth considering:

1) Ezili's totem only takes 1 life later, so depending on your MK, you can regain that with farms or druids easily. The totem provides quite a strong buff for wizards, and losing more lives earlier can be a decent buff for bottom path Druids. It's mainly a problem when you're new to a track or difficulty and you're not sure how many lives you might lose by accident.

2) Adora's Blood Sacrifice affects all top path Super Monkeys (tier 3+), the buff lasts longer than the cooldown, and only needs the sacrifice of a tower worth about $2k (according to the wiki), so she makes for a great hero in very high levels (I've had mine buffing about 10 Temples).

ezili is goated for her anti-moab ability, she can prevent splits after a moab pops with her moab hex which is amazing in the 81~99 rounds.

adora has an awkward windup but if played into, can be a strong carry dealing massive damage in general. her sacrifice ability is dependent on who you gobble up in potency, but the other portion megabuffs her for a duration, time it right, and she's a churchill at home.
