Regrow Round 63?

[Ekimmak]

Granted, I picked hard mode and didn't specialise any towers, but... this seems kind of impossible. I'm sure it isn't, but all my default towers don't seem able to break through the ability to immediately turn back into ceramics until you lose.

[Ekimmak]

... Ah. Ultra Juggernaut. Should have known.

[DarkMatter]

Two 204 bombshooter with 401 alchem support.

Edit: With other towers in the mix to pop black bloons.

Druids vine ability instakills a regrow ceramic

On round 63, there's a few too many of them to rely on a Druid.

Which is part of the latest Odyssey. So it's a bit more noticeable.

Energizer can also thoroughly cook them if there's enough track, but that doesn't help on Logs, which is where I struggled.

I only have a few days experience in btd6, but having spent an absurd amount of time in btd5 and putting some of my old knowledge to practice in 6, my go-to of 3/2/0 ice tower still does wonders in btd6 to any clusters of Bloons--regardless of if they regrow or not. The only trick is to find a section of track to nail most of them in one freeze. Failing that, you can try a second one right near it and/or a glue hose to slow them down enough to get snagged by the ice tower(s).

If you have a glue gunner, use 520.

It is a terrible Tier 5 after Round 81, due to Super Ceramic toughness run over an optimal attack path for Juggernaut. But it works wonderfully in pre-80. Especially Hard Odyssey which often don't feature Round 81+.

Love at First Sight reduced Ceramic Health by 50%, which is actually easier.
All you have to do is to have quality tower that deal burst damage. It doesn't exclusive to Ice Shards, 2-0-4 Bomb, Bomber Ace, 4-2-0 Alchemist only.

Top path glue, forgotten M.O.A.R. Glaives, well placed 2-0-4 Dart, Mealstorm, Fire/Necro Wizard, top path Mortar. Or just simply trap some of them, blow them back via Heli. There are too many counter thanks to reduced Ceramic health, so don't feel afraid to try out some Tier 3/4 in next Odyssey. Hero's ability isn't just sit there remain wasted too. Full Monkey Knowledge isn't required and make sure to read out Rules.

That does explain why they went down like paper.
My problem was that I didn't really look at what I had before going in, so getting to the round 63 regrows was a nasty wakeupcall on Tree Stump.

The Ultra-Jugg was the best thing I had on hand for an emergency counter: it had high pierce and ceramic damage. I tried using 240 plane, but it didn't recharge fast enough for all 3 rounds (even with a 024 glue gunner holding them in place), and nothing else seemed to have the burst pierce.

Also, if you can get one firing at a good turn early in the path, and you can afford one, a mortar's x/x/4 Shattering Shells will strip regrowth. A bit less useful in this Odyssey because it won't affect a zeppelin-class's payload, and there are rounds here which just have enough bloonage to push through mortars and glue, but as long as you have enough of your firepower not targeting "Strong", it's possible to hold the waves off. It just takes some trial and error.

[Evilsod]

Isn't the 4-2-0 Bomb more effective than the 2-0-4? The AoE stun on top of the damage lets other towers wreck them too.

[DanaO]

Good point, but it depends on the map and what other towers you have.

You still need Alchemist and Striker Jones to make Recursive really bypass the black layers, lol. Or other towers to deal with it.
