User blog:Waddle3195/BTD5: Path 1 vs. Path2

So the problem with BTD5 is whether to choose Path 1 or 2. In this blog I am going to tell you whether to choose Path 1 or 2. Let's start with the...

Dart Monkey
It's cheap, great for the early round, but what's better? Path 1 or 2? Well, the tier 4 upgrade for Path 1 is Juggernaut. It costs $1500 on medium, super cheap. Against a black bloon it destroyed all layers on one bloon except red and all layers on the second except blue, so you lose three lives. The highest level bloon it popped was a pink. Tier 4 upgrade for Path 2 is Super Monkey Fan Club. The ability makes nearby dart monkeys super monkeys for 10 seconds. It completely destroyed a black bloon and nearly a complete zebra! Even though it is much more expensive ($8000 in medium) it is worth it.

My Opinion: Path 2

Tack Shooter
Small range, but quite good for the early rounds. Path 1 - Ring of Fire. $2500 in medium. Highest bloon popped was a yellow, so not so good for price... Lead bloons they can't be hurt by sharp stuff, so Ring of Fire can help out with that. Path 2 - Blade Maelstrom. £$2700 in medium. Highest bloon popped was pink. Not so good with the lead, as it shoots blades, which are obviously sharp things.

My Opinion: Path 2

Sniper Monkey
Unlimited range, good for money, level 3 upgrades can be quite useful. Path 1 - Cripple M.O.A.B. $12500 in medium. It can stop an M.O.A.B. class bloon in its' tracks! Has unlimited range, and managed to completely destroy a ceramic bloon! That's better than most monkeys you unlock later on in the game! It's a really expensive upgrade, but I'd get it for later round when you have a load of M.O.A.B.'s to destroy. Two of them could easily destroy an M.O.A.B. Path 2 - Supply Drop. $12000 in medium. It destroyed the same as it's Path 1 brother, but took longer. It has a special ability, dropping a crate of cash to use. It's good!

My Opinion: Path 1

Boomerang Thrower
Large range, fairly good for money. Path 1 - Glaive Lord. $2500 in medium. The two glaives that circle around it make an OK difference, only in early rounds though. It managed to destroy a black/white bloon, so not as good as the Sniper, but getting better. It can shoot quickly, but misses sometimes. It's good with range and speed. Path 2 - Turbo Charge. $3000 in medium. Can destroy a rainbow, which is a masive improvement. With the ability it goes hypersoni for 10 seconds. That combined with M.I.B. Call to Arms ability make it so fast it is literally a blur!

My Opinion: Path 2

Ninja Monkey
Big range, good money, cool and useful upgrades. Path 1 - Bloonjitsu. $2750 in medium. Can destroy a ceramic bloon, so that's good. Can make an M.O.A.B. lose a fair bit of life, so a few of them and an M.O.A.B. could be in trouble! Path 2 - Sabotage Supply Line. $1800 in medium. Well the ability basically slows the bloons to half speed for 10 seconds, so it gives exra time to destroy the bloons. It matched Path 1 for popping, but it took much longer, so this one, unless the ability is used, could be in trouble...

My Opinion: Path 1
