How to properly play early game

I'll be showing you how to properly play early game.

First off, the basics

I'd recommend you use towers like Dart Monkey, Ninja, Engineer, Wizard, Druid or any early/game hero cheap enough to place like Sauda or Quincy. (Do not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ask why I'm using Ben in C.H.I.M.P.S.)
You can also use towers like Boomerang, Tack Shooter, Buccaneer, Submarine or Sniper but they're ill-advised on most maps or gamemodes. (dont come after my ass for saying sub/buc is bad for eg, im just saying relying on water for eg isnt a good idea)

Correct crosspaths for EG (Early Game)

For the Dart Monkey, i recommend you use a 0-2-4 dart for early game.
For the Ninja, i'd recommend you use a 3-0-2 or 2-0-3, depending if you want to buy other camo-lead popping towers.
For the Engineer, i'd recommend you use a 4-2-0 or 4-0-2, depending if you want good MOAB popping power or just to massacre cerams.
For the Wizard, it's kind of confusing. A 2-0-2 works good, but a 0-2-2 also works great, but you could also use a 2-2-0.. Personally, 0-2-2 is the best.
For the Druid, I'd say a 2-2-0.

How to properly use the "less advised" EG towers

I recommend a 2-0-2 boomerang, but the 2-2-0 enthusiasts will hunt me down for saying that.
A 2-0-2 tack shooter works good.. Somehow.
Rush a 0-0-2 sniper. Then get it to 1-0-2. And get it to elite defender. (THIS IS AWFUL EG BY THE WAY)
For Beast Handler, spam a hell ton of them down. They're basically spawn-able cave monkeys.
If you want to use submarine, i'd go rush Bloontonium, or if you're struggling with defense, go 3-0-2 and micro the sub.
The Buccaneer is REALLY bad for early game, but if you want to use him that bad, a 0-2-2 should be good enough for early waves. A 2-2-0 works good too.

The "Player 3" way to do it

Place a free dart, then rush farms/ben. If you're struggling on defense, get a 0-2-4 dart. Then keep farming. Honestly, i don't exactly know any downsides from doing this. Except it's impossible to do on CHIMPS.

How I handle harder maps' EG

Spam. Spam the hell out of Druid, Dart Monkey and Sub. I know the prestige 467,475,839 mf's are gonna hunt me down for this. but this just works awfully well.
WARNING!
JUST BECAUSE IT WORKS, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD USE IT! THERE ARE OTHER PROPER EARLY GAME TACTICS THAT WORK FOR EXPERT MAPS, I JUST HAVE MORE FUN SPAMMING THE HELL OUT OF TOWERS!

Lastly, heroes

Lastly, heroes matter.
If you want a more DPS based hero, use Adora, Churchill or Sauda.
If you want to be a menace to MOABS, use Ezili. (Pat could work too, never used him.)
The best hero for EG is Sauda.
A more mid-late game based hero is Geraldo, but this guide is about early game.

JUST HAVE FUN!

Don't forget, BTD6 is a GAME! In which you're supposed to have fun! Don't take my guide as a "must do" for early game, do whatever the hell you want if it's fun and works!
I've had a lot of it. In my over 3 years of playing, i had a ton of fun doing whatever the hell i wanted.
And using Ben in CHIMPS...
