Bloonarius (Event)



Bloonarius is an event in Bloons Monkey City consisting of a single battle against a boss bloon, Bloonarius, as well as additional bloons that spawn through the battle. It debuted on 6/24/15. The event lasts for 7 days and is linked to the Bloon Beacon, as defeating the Bloon Beacon tile is essential for activating the event. To access the boss the player must defeat the tile where the beacon is located. The player then has 1 hour to battle and attempt to defeat Bloonarius. The initial attempt is free (see image to the right) however if you fail you will have to pay a fee to try again, the amount of which depends on your city's level.

Bloonarius has its own unique battle tile (though it occupies no location on the map; access is through the event tabs on the right of the screen) which appears to be a dark, nighttime swamp, laid out in a widening spiral from the starting point at the center of the map. The player starts with approximately double the normal starting cash. Throughout the battle low level bloons will also file out of the starting point. At the top of the screen is a life bar for the boss with skulls marking 25%, 50% and 75% health (nothing significant happens at those points however[possibly additional/higher bloons may spawn]). The battle consists of a single round and ends either when Bloonarius runs out of life (success), reaches the exit (failure), or enough lesser bloons reach the exit to take the player to zero health (failure).

Bloonarius has 20 levels, with difficulty and level increasing every time it is defeated. The cooldown of Bloonarious is essentially linked to the Bloon Beacon (which has a 6 hour cool down). This means defeating all twenty levels will take a minimum of 5 days plus the amount of time for each level's battle with the boss

Rewards
Rewards, in addition to the standard 5 Bloonstones and cash for each defeat, are given for beating rounds:

Unlike normal tiles, the player is not awarded bonus Bloonstones for finishing with no loss of life (NLL).

Strategies

 * A single Super Monkey, placed near the center of the track should be able to defeat Bloonarius. Additional towers would be needed to avoid loss of life to any minor bloons that leak through.
 * "For the early rounds, I've found a 3/1 buccaneer tore Bloonarius apart well enough", ninjakiwi forum user DuelMasterP.
 * Glue does seem to hurt it (somewhat), but does not slow it down.
 * The battle does seem to consist of multiple continuous rounds, particular as evidenced by production from Banana Farms, as well as deployment of crates.
