ravine is broken!!!!

[arandompersons]

the entire map is too OP to beat with double cash and every single point into mokney knowledge. i am sick of having to expend instant monkeys just to beat maps like it, its cancerous.... keep getitng killed at round 40 with good anti moab tech and don't even get me started on even DARING to beat it on impoppable or CHIMPS...

It is beatable on CHIMPS with 2 lives... or co-op CHIMPS.

But Monkey Knowledge and Etienne make Standard easier a lot. I beat Ravine round 100 with full MK and Etienne, no Insta, powerups or Double Cash. It's just broken in CHIMPS.

I highly suggest multiple Darts start, place Etienne, Sniper pops Lead, and single Ace circulate middle bottom.

Before R40, at least single 0-0-3 MOAB Glue. 2-0-3 Ace, prefer 3-0-0 Alchemist buff. Trust me, play without Double Cash, don't grow economy at all, and you will be surprised that it's a lot of money to even afford something more. Tank the damage, it should be enough if you have 80+.
You're not playing Impoppable or black CHIMPS, abuse tanking damage and reload if needed. R40 can be RNG, but any MOAB slowdown is very useful.

You would have around 16k earned during Hard Standard round 39:

I only go for Monkey Town at round 45-49. Then a single Central Market and sold for greater good. Affording Sky Shredder, Carrier Flagship plus First Strike should be more than enough, as long as defense is prioritized more than farming. Etienne's ability also should not be wasted.

It is manageable thanks to various buff from previous patches and Etienne.

{EDIT}I want to add that I found a lot of casual players in co-op always go crazy with early Farming, even though it is a tough map like X Factor. Learning how not to blind farming is important.

horrible bait

I can't see how you would have a problem with double cash on anything
