By the way, the research cost of BRF jumped up by $25,000. I'm lucky that I have $80,000+ bank capacity. I'm nearing 60,000 cash but I think I may have it by next Monday.

@ShadowNapalm: As for the DDT issue, I believe SSL may work against DDTs, and I have a feeling that Spectres may work well on this track. I don't know why, but it probably has to do with Spectre bombs and darts homing at bloons if they miss (although there are some velocity issues). GZ could do well. Why didn't you use them? I'm just curious.

GZ doesn't reload quickly and aces in general take too much place to build. If you have seen the CT video of superjombombo where he uses 2 spectres you can tell they don't do well in mid-late game. They can pop bloons but the bloons usually aren't the problem.

Also, a GZ doesn't kill the DDTs when they get stronger in the late game. And I did use SSL but at round 80 the slowed down DDTs are as fast as the DDTs in DDT tiles. (Maybe even faster.)

For that round 28 rush you could try using a blade maelstrom once you get rid of the ceramic layer. I know. However, it takes quite a bit of time to react and not a lot of time (geez, those rainbows are fast!) and that also requires proper placement. By the time I have a 0/4 tack shooter in one circle (even with hotkeys), they'll already have moved out.
