As a die-hard Bloons TD 6 fan with over 400 hours played, I’ve agonized over complex CHIMPS runs and tested countless tower combinations. This definitive, foolproof guide arms you with the meta defining tricks that 1% of elite players use to dominate on ladder maps.
First, we’ll explore ideal Hero pairings and overpowered towers you may overlook. Then I’ll reveal must-know ability timing tricks that helped me finally beat the Lych Boss event on #Ouch CHIMPS rules. Finally, you’ll get money making secrets top players abuse to afford max Paragons by round 40.
Sound appealing? Then let’s master Bloons TD 6 together!
Use the Top Towers & Heroes to Counter Any Threat
Sure you can brute force your way through beginner maps with just dart monkeys. But utilizing the right tower against the right bloon makes smashing your personal best time easy. Here are the cream of the crop selections that dominate ranked boss events and ladder CHIMPS runs:
Harness These S+ Tier Towers
Bomb Tower – Recursive Cluster
Against tightly packed MOAB children nothing beats carpet bombing explosions. The tier 5 Recursive Cluster upgrade continually re-uses ability charges for infinite explosions. Place them high traffic areas to coat entire track sections in beautiful destruction.
With 2 million+ RBE damage potential, the Bomb Blitz ability is borderline game breaking! Combine its power with:
- Stronger Stimulant Alchemist to buff duration even longer
- Primary Expertise Village for extra splash damage 
Druid – Poplust
Who needs fancy tech when harnessing nature’s wrath works just as well? The Avatar of Wrath Druid surrounded by 16 x1x Druids achieves nearly the same DPS as a max True Sun God. That’s 11K+ per second when ability is active! Even MOAB eliminating specialty towers can’t compete with raw, triple-buffed Druidic power.
Alchemist – Stronger Stimulant
By itself, the Alchemist is solid yet unspectacular in damage output. But buffing towers like the aforementioned Bomb Tower and Druid is how More Bananas Alchemists enable world record boss event speed runs. Remember support towers are force multipliers that make your heavy hitters deadlier.
Hero Breakdowns – When to Pick Each
With distinct strengths, certain Heroes pair better with specific towers. Here’s an overview of ideal roles for each marque fighter:
Quincy
- Easiest for new players to grasp
- Strong group popping power via Rapid Shot
- Costs almost nothing so great for early farming CHIMPS
Gwendolin
- Highest raw DPS – reaches 4K+ by Level 20!
- Inferno shreds single targets like MOABs and bosses
- Works great with towers boosted by heat like Tack Zone
Striker Jones
- Bomb synergies give bonus pierce, impact, and damage
- Artillery Command decimates tightly packed MOAB children
- Affordable like Quincy
Obyn Greenfoot
- Druid build enabler via Pierce buff
- Totem boosts magic monkeys in radius
- Wall of Trees blocks first leaks early rounds
Use Pro-Level Techniques for Flawless Executions
You could try brute forcing late game rounds with raw tower firepower. But executing advanced positioning and timing tricks separates the Bloons masters from the rest:
Tower Micro Mechanics
Placing towers effectively seems basic, but rotation and coordination is crucial. For example:
- Rotate between multiple Bomb Tower abilities to maintain constant explosions
- Coordinate Wall of Fire Wizards with Super Brittle Ice Towers to layer damage boosts
The Super Brittle Ice Tower steals MOAB defenses allowing Fire Wizards to inflict 5x damage for a short time. Savvy timing and positioning stacks bonuses for 1000+ DPS Wizards!- Weave Spike Factories at choke points that the track forces MOABS through for maximum pile damage
Time Abilities Flawlessly
Activating an ability at an inopportune time spells certain doom on expert maps. But nail the timing just right and even lethal round 98 rushes stand no chance:
Pre-Emptive Strike – Don’t waste Monkey Pirates’ awesome disabling cannon volley on stunned MOABs from First Strike. Wait until right AFTER to catch harder to slow down DDT swarms and BADS directly with the shots.
Sabo and Re-Sabotage – Intentionally leak some ceramics early to charge up abilities faster. Then stun key choke points on round 63, 76, and 98 when RAF blimp density gets highest.
Spirit of the Forest – Use vine snare right as BFBs begin splitting not on whole blimps. This concentrates damage from other towers against trapped offspring.
Maximize Farming with BTD6 Masters’ Secrets
All the cool tier 5 insta-monkeys and race entry tickets in the world are useless if you lack sufficient funds to utilize them. That’s why farming efficiently early and mid-game is so crucial:
4 Key Income Generators
Here is my personal preference order for money making:
- 2-3 Banana Central (420 Farm) farms – easy, requires no micro management and generates reliable end game income
- 10-12 Banana Plantations (204 Farm) for quick payback times to rapidly reinvest – sell almost all for lategame defense except 2-3 to retain income
- Daily Monkey Money special events and premiun sentries in another easy 12K+ every 24 hours
- Druid Farming – once all Druids are in range of an x/4/x Jungle’s Bounty Village they make great money with added magic damage
Make It Rain: Pro Tips for Easy Money Grinding
Want to earn Monkey Money even faster? Here’s what BTD6 experts do to grind cash rewards quickly:
Play the Hardest Difficulty Maps Possible – The harder the map, the bigger the completion payout. On Expert maps you can easily pocket an extra 10-30K Monkey Money compared to Beginner ones.
Stop on Last Round – When grinding a track over and over, play until the second last round then surrender. Restarting saves more time compared to playing out the last round with no additional Monkey Money rewards.
Watch Ad Videos – don’t skip the optional ad videos after completing a game. Over a long grind session they add up to plenty of Monkey Money.
Configure Sentries Optimally – each day you get 5 free sentries to boost rewards. Place them on key intersections that cover 2 track paths to double dip on cash bonuses.
Sample Monkey Master Loadouts
With so many upgrades and crosspaths available, deciding on 6 ideal towers is overwhelming even for veterans. So I’ll finish off by including two tried and tested combinations that consistently crush their designated modes.
Feel free to reference or use these as starter layouts while getting a feel for new maps too!
CHIMPS Mode Dream Team
This advanced setup assumes knowledge of micro tricks and ability timing we covered previously. But the firepower and flexibility handles nearly all non-expert maps and some advanced ones too!
Key Towers:
- Pre-Emptive Strike (x5x) Monkey Buccaneer – essential for removing properties/immunities
- Primary Expertise (x5x) Village – huge range and damage buffs
- Poplust (x1x) Avatar or Wrath Druid – high damage magic tower
Supporting Cast:
- Stronger Stimulant (x4x) Alchemist
- Cripple (x5x) MOAB Sniper – shreds blimp layers
- Summon Phoenix (x5x) Wizard
I used this exact layout plus Quincy to Black Border #Ouch on hard rules!
Boss Event Obliteration Stack
When it comes to quickly eliminating millions of boss bloon HP, these heavy artillery towers blitz down the biggest threats Co-Op has to offer:
Rush Crushing Cannons:
- Pre-Emptive (x5x) Monkey Buccaneer
- Mad (x5x) Bomber Ace – awesome radius and high per shot damage
- Cripple MOAB (x5x) Sniper – shreds blimp immunity fast
Amps Damage To The Max:
- Unstable Concoction (x5x) Alchemist – extra damage and splash

- Stronger Stimulant (x4x) Alchemist
I eliminated 60 million+ HP Lych bosses by round 40 using this setup to farm every rewards insta-monkey!
