User blog:210577bloons/BMC Before MOABs

Hello! I'm 210577, an active user nowadays, and I'm willing to talk about how to expand in Monkey City before you get to blimps, beacuse everyone is talking about how to pop Triple MOAB Regrow Assault tiles on volcanoes, but nobody is saying "this will do in all ceramic tiles and below". So, here's my advice:

1. '''Get powerful upgrades. '''To expand your land, you will probably need:

-Triple Darts: 8 of these can pop a whole Ceramic on Switch.

-Tack Sprayer: Closely packed tacks can pop multiple layers of bloon.

-Glaive Richochet/Bionic Boomer: Cleanup on Rainbows and above

-Double Shot: It doubles the ninja's firepower for a discount. How nice!

-Cluster and Frag Bombs: They can thin out most bloon rushes.

-Crow's Nest: Camo detection where ninjas are banned

-Monkey Sense: Your best choice against camo-leads

-Summon Whirlwind: This is a cheaper alternative to a 4/2 ninja.

-Bigger Stacks: Spactories are dead useful in this game. You'll also want White Hot Spikes so that you don't need to research when the time comes for DDTs.

2. Expand slowly in a circle.

Expanding in a circle is important; you probably want to get the most out of one layer before you move on. Also, it allows you to see things far away from all four directions, which is important when you want to expand in one direction (for later on). Also, it looks neat, too. Of course, you don't have to keep expanding like that; if you find a treasure chest or special mission one layer beyond, you should go for it if you feel that you can beat it.

3. Use trivial tiles to their full capability.

As you start capturing more land, you might meet some nasty situations like a Ceramic Regrow Assault on Butterfly (which, by the way, I also have). Also, you might get MvM attacks there and constantly need to continue. However, you can always skip those tiles and watch its difficulty levels drop. When you think you will be able to beat it, beat it, but don't continue (unless you screw up on Round 19 of 19). When it drops to Trivial, you can always skip it and take the land for granted.
