best path for boomerang monkey

[zaquis]

so im like a noob and a beginner and i searched on google what it was and its not saying anything so i was hoping id get a response her

depends too much on what you're using it for. If the track has straight sections and you want to kill more MOABS then xx5. If not so many straightaways and some nice tight corners, 5xx. If you don't mind babysitting it and need more rush control, x5x If it's what you're using for lead, make sure you get bottom path on.

All paths are very good. It just depends on what strategy you're going for

[MaxBlue001]

In general, all paths for all towers are made for certain situations. Some will be usefull against MOABS, some will be usefull at AOE damage (like explosions), some will focus on dealing more damage to each bloon hit, ...

It's up to you to experiment all the paths and see what work and what doesn't. Remember that you need a diverse defence to cover all possibilities. So you won't be relying on just one tower. (at least, not on harder difficulties)

It's also worth considering what your defence lack, then finding ways to fix your defence. Ex: do your current defence struggle against MOABs? Then get some towers that specialises at dealing with them.

they all do diffrent things
top path is for bloon clearing
mid path is a generalist that can do both cleanup and moab damage
bottom path is support and moab damage

[Vivianite]

top path is great anti-bloon generalist but NOT ceramics unless buffed
middle path is versatile that can clear out mobs of bloons/MOABs quickly with their ability
bottom path gets a second special attack that shoves MOABs back and multi-hits them, also alters the throw to be straight instead of curved

the top and bottom path i use moreso than the middle path but get that boomerang monkey in the right spot and it can do some serious work.

the one with the boomerang is the best in my experience

the bottom path is unaffordable. after the T4 upgrade, you'll usually lose the game if you try to save up $60,000 just to get a boomerang that knocks moabs back slightly further. it will also leak a lot of bloons because it fires slowly and doesn't home in on bloons.

the top path is relatively affordable and useful, but requires specific maps and perfect placement to make use of the "orbiting" boomerangs. Another glaring issue is that you CANNOT reverse the direction of the orbit by reversing the throwing hand of the boomerang monkey. this can decrease the chances of the "orbiters" hitting bloons, costing you DPS.


in general the middle path is the best one. it's somewhat affordable, can pop lead/camos (only with monkey knowledge) and attacks rapidly enough that it won't miss and leak as often as the top and bottom path do.

both top and bottom t4s are good support, but yeah the t5s are not amazing.

moab dom is great for some more gimmicky maps(like the recent BAD at round 60 oddysey and bosses that spawn blimps)
glaive lord feels like it just get outclassed by spirit of the jungle

[Ackranome]

Mid path feels very strong.

maybe learn the game before spreading misinformation?

[imag2OOO]

bottom and mid are super busted with the boomerang double throw if they miss mk i rarely ever use top theres just strait up better ad clear towers so its not worth it

A 4-0-2 is a good cheap tower for grouped bloons like round 63. A permacharge can be good sometimes for extra BAD/boss damage. Just depends on what you need.

[gailcox1]

It depends on what you want. If you want more damage and bloons popped per throw, top. If you want speed, go middle. If you want more damage to moab-class bloons, go bottom.
