Hello, welcome to my user page.

I am mostly inactive around here but I do come on occasionally, although it would be more optimal if I were to be communicated via Skype (either by the chatroom or by PM-same username)

I am an administrator of this wiki as you could probably tell by the tag next to my name. If you want to contact me, you can find me on the skype chat pretty much everyday or just leave a message on my message wall.

A Poem About Lol Limewire
There was once a guy named Lol Limewire,

Who overcame obstacles bigger than the biggest bushfires,

Stronger than the forces of every empire,

He continued to nevertheless, aim even higher.

His immense power comes from the way he was designed,

He is the friendlier than all puppies in the world combined,

As well as conquering the galaxy without any GPSs or electronic trackers,

He also became a Bloons Wiki rollbacker.

He can conquer hordes of ZOMGs no matter how enormous,

He's the only superior ever known to Chuck Norris,

But however, things became looking unusually grim,

And he got hacked..i cri evertim ;(.

When that time came for him to be put in a cage,

There were a lack of edits for the Daily Challenge page,

This poem is for him, I hope he can see,

He can do what he wants cos a pirate is free :D

General Tips on the Wiki
Although the policies page is a much better and more detailed resource, I notice some of the users who come on the wiki don't really seem to read it at all. If you don't wish to go entirely in depth then I still advise skimming through it as many different wikis have different policies. Anyway here are some of my own general tips for new users:
 * Don't spam, vandalise or insert useless info into any articles - Probably the most obvious type of thing for people to know.
 * Be courteous to other users and get to know them - The wiki isn't just about editing articles, it's also about getting along with the community which shares a common interest with you.
 * Don't get discouraged by a simple warning on your message wall - Learn from your mistakes and carry on.
 * Do not post your fanmade ideas/creations as articles on this wiki - You may still post them as blogs or on the Bloons Conception Wiki.
 * Try to maintain a good reputation on the wiki - Once you get a bad reputation on a wiki, it's almost entirely irreversible, I've seen many people getting one and none of them really well, 'made it'. By generally following all of the rules and respecting other users, you shouldn't really need to worry about that.
 * If something's wrong, contact an admin.
 * Have fun! - What's the point of doing something when it's not interesting to you? (unless you're forced to do it of course *cough* school subjects *cough*)

BTD5 Awesome Facts, Tricks and Glitches
Note that some of these might be a deeper explanation of the facts above

Tack Sprayers deal more than eight times more damage than the Ring Of Fire against MOAB-class bloons?
After a lot of testing I found something very strange, I retested it several times on different places and conditions and it was still the same. '''I found out that a Tack Sprayer was far more effective against MOAB-class bloons than a Ring Of Fire! '''I also found out that a blade shooter (2-3) was inbetween the two as well as a 2-2 tack shooter which had dealt fairly close to the amount of damage as the blade shooter.

So you basically pay a fair bit of money to upgrade to the 4-2 tack shooter and it dramatically decreases its effectiveness against MOAB-class bloons. It reminds me of the Bomb Tower's Frag Bombs upgrading to Cluster Bombs which eliminates its ability to pop blacks although Bloon Impact brings it back but stilI, the Tack Shooter's case is far worse. I EVEN THOUGHT THAT NINJAKIWI BUFFED THE RING OF FIRE!! *Mind Blown* WTF?!?!!!!!?!?!??!?!!!1one!!1

I found out that the tack Sprayer shoots sixteen projectiles and despite the Ring Of Fire shooting almost twice as fast, it only shoots one 'projectile'. I tested this by putting 3 of each of the following towers under the first curve in Monkey Lane: 4-2 Ring Of Fires, 3-2 Tack Sprayers, 2-3 Blade Shooters and 2-2 Tack Shooters against a MOAB .The Tack Sprayers made the MOAB go through two health stages amazingly, the Blade Shooter made it go through one health stage as well as the 2-2 tack shooter although the Blade Shooters destroyed it a bit faster because its upgrade makes the Tack Shooter's fire rate increase. The Ring Of Fires didn't even make it through the first health stage unless you place five of them under the first curve and even then, it barely does so. The Ring Of Fire shoots one projectile yet the Tack Sprayer shoots sixteen, however this is slightly compensated (an unfitting word for this situation) by the fact it shoots almost twice as fast as the tack sprayer.

I can therefore conclude that Tack Sprayers deal more than eight times more damage than the Ring Of Fire against MOAB-class bloons

How to get a Hyperspeed Juggernaut
By geting a 2-0 Dart Monkey and a SMFC Dart Monkey, use its special ability and then quickly upgrade the 2-0 monkey to Juggernaut, this will give you a Juggernaut that shoots at the same speed as a super monkey (unupgraded). This also works if you upgrade it to a spike-o-pult. After the special ability of the SMFC dart monkey has stopped the Juggernaut will attack normally and if you try it again, the Juggernaut will not shoot super fast anymore, you have to buy another 2-0 dart monkey and repeat the steps all over again.

The Fastest Way to unlock all the upgrades of the Monkey Ace GUARANTEED!!!
Note that this only requires rank 12, nothing else :). Go to the MOAB Madness Special Mission, place unupgraded Monkeys all over Monkey Lane, placing road spikes at the end is optional (probably not necessary). After you have filled all of the gaps, click on start. The planes shoud be able to take care of the 50 MOABs and unlock all of the upgrades. If it doesn't, repeat it again.

Treating a Mortar Tower like a Dartling Gun
It is possible to control the Mortar Tower's target by selecting the Mortar Tower and clicking and holding the target. You can drag it around however you want and it allows control like a dartling gun.

Special Abilties vs. Camo Bloons
Certain towers with Special Abilities can't pop camos despite having camo detection and vice versa, here is a list of them:

Special Abilities that can detect camos without camo detection

 * MOAB Assassin (It can also pop black bloons!)

Special Abilities that can't detect camos with camo detection
The list will be expanded later.
 * Blade Maelstrom
 * Bloon Annihilation Ability

#16 Mortar Tower
It was very tough to choose the tower that would take last place but I ended up with the Mortar Tower unfortunately, I rarely ever use this tower at all. The mortar tower doesn't really have much of a use and its upgrades can be replaced by several cheaper and sometimes better options from other towers (e.g Burny Stuff-->Corrosive Glue). Anyway onto the positive things, The Big Ones can cover the whole area of Mount Magma and Burny Stuff can be useful on taking down low rank bloons although I prefer Corrosive Glue over it.

Favourite Upgrade: The Big One

#15 Dart Monkey
My mind was about to explode when choosing who would be second last, I tried not to judge cheap towers cruelly to the higher priced towers but I was eventually forced to pick the Dart Monkey. Dart monkeys used to be my #1 choice for early rounds but was taken over by the Monkey Engineer but I still use it for BTD5 fairly often. The triple darts upgrade is pretty good too for an affordable price. However, The tier three/four upgrades are rarely used and there are several better substitutes. Also, the SMFC has been nerfed which makes the upgrade not exactly worthwhile for its price

Favourite Upgrade: Juggeranut

#14 Ice Tower
The Ice Tower's Arctic Wind upgrade is a must for tracks with short paths, it helps greatly in giving your other towers more time to attack the bloons. The 2/2 Ice Tower is also a good tower for earlier rounds and some say that the upper upgrades of path two are more useful than they seem. It was very tough to decide it but this tower finishes in 14th place.

Favourite Upgrade: Arctic Wind MORE COMING SOON

<!--

Dart Monkey
I used to use the triple darts upgrade very often in the earlier levels until I got the Boomerang Dojo which increases the price of Dart Monkeys and their upgrades. I used to like SMFC a lot as triple dart monkeys would turn into super monkeys throwing 3 darts rapidly, it was like several 'Dart Gods'! Sadly, they nerfed it so they would only act like regular unupgraded super monkeys regardless of their upgrades. Juggernauts still have their power but there are plenty of other towers that I prefer over them but still, two Juggernauts can take down the ceramic layer with ease.

Favourite Upgrade: Juggernaut



Tack Shooter
Next, I want to look over the tack shooters, I liked the blade shooters and I heard people say that the blades could pop 2 layers at a time but I found this out to be false however. It is still a good upgrade along with Even Faster Shooting though as it can almost fully guaranteed using all of its blades facing the track to pop bloons every time. I find the tack sprayer very useful against MOABs (and some lower ranked bloons) and the Ring Of Fire against ceramics but the Tack Sprayer is much cheaper and I found out is that it deals eight times more damage against MOAB-class bloons if all of its tacks are used (more details about this here)

Favourite Upgrade: Tack Sprayer

Sniper Monkey
The sniper monkeys has upgrades for every stage of the game making it a very reliable tower. The unupgraded sniper or a 1-0 is great for picking off those few escaping bloons in the early rounds. During the middle game, 2-3 snipers are effective against all bloon types making them very useful. Even in the freeplay levels, cripple moabs are great in giving the TOTMG more time to attack and the 2-4 snipers are used to replace the banana farms (as the rounds in freeplay are very long). This makes the sniper monkey an awesome tower.

Favourite Upgrade: Semi-Automatic Rifle

Boomerang Thrower
The Boomerang Thrower is one of my favourite towers, especially combined with the Boomerang Dojo (almost like Double Ranga). the Bionic Boomer is one of the best towers for the early rounds but can still dominate in the later rounds in large amounts although I usually replace them with Glaive Lords.

"Oh wat da f*k. Bother telling me, why so many glaive lords? the're just glaive ricochets with 2 glaives around them." -A comment on one of my youtube videos  The two glaives that 'hover' around the glaive lord aren't like any ordinary glaive, placing 3 glaive lords under the first bend of monkey lane will make any amount of MOABs ripped to shreds, even if you hold 'I' in sandbox mode. This is why it was an ideal solution for the 12th of July daily challenge when the MOABs came in. I've also always wondered what it would look like to have a Double-Ranga, Turbo-Charged Boomerang Thrower with a third tier Boomerang Dojo under the influence of an MIB Monkey Village with its special ability been used. Speaking of which, I have a third tier Boomerang Dojo, TOTALLY WORTH IT, it only increases the cost of the dart monkey which is the cheapest tower overall anyway. I also found the Glaive Ricochet quite useful as well, they can pop an infinite amount of bloons which is useful against mass amounts of bloons.

Favourite Upgrades: Bionic Boomer and Glaive Lord

These two upgrades were equally epic so I had to pick both of them :P

Ninja Monkey
Many people like this new tower a lot, the 4-2 Ninja Monkey is very powerful and are great against ceramics. The truth is that I never use the 2nd path (unless it's like a daily challenge or something) as it just doesn't seem to be worth it, for example the Bloon Impact upgrade of the Bomb Tower would make a wonderful substition for several Flash Bomb Ninjas as it covers a far wider area as well as firing the bombs faster. I still think the Bloonjitsu upgrade would do well in the earlier rounds, especially against ceramics.

Favourite Upgrade: Bloonjitsu

Bomb Tower
The Bomb Tower is a great tower against all types of bloons despite its slow rate of fire. Let's first talk about the path 1 tier 3 and 4 upgrades. The cluster bomb is epic, It has about the same sized explosion as The Big One as well as bloon impact which can stun bloons and pop black bloons. Use several cluster bombs along with a few bloon impacts and then you have the power to take down mass amounts have ceramics and MOABs easily. The path 2 upgrades are alright too although I don't use them often at all. The MOAB Mauler was a must-have tower in the late rounds of BTD4 but now, there are many other towers that can take over the job. The only good (pretty awesome actually) use of the MOAB Assassin is dealing massive damage to ZOMGs with its special ability.

Favourite Upgrade: Bloon Impact

Ice Tower
I rarely use the Ice Tower but the Arctic Wind can be very useful in certain tracks as it gives my towers more time to take down the ceramics that comes out of the MOABs. Sometimes I use the 2-2 Ice Towers in the earlier rounds too. I never use the second path though, the upgrades don't seem to be worth it. I can't really say much about this tower really though as I rarely use it like I said earlier.

Favourite Upgrade: Arctic Wind

Glue Gunner
The Glue Gunner is one of my favourite towers too, a 2-1 Glue Gunner is a great idea for the earlier rounds and can take down black or white bloons solo. The Bloons Dissolver with Glue Splatter is a really effective upgrade against rounds 30-45 (the other one is the Neva-Miss Targeting Monkey Ace 3-2). I use the Bloons Liquefier for the Regen Bloon Exploit as they can easily take down even regen ceramics with ease. The Glue Hose is more of a 'slowing down' kind of upgrade rather than the path 1 upgrades which is more offensive. It's still a great choice of upgrade if you're relying on other towers to take down the ceramics like super monkeys or glaive lords, the Glue Striker however, is almost completely useless, the Glue Hose has the tiniest chance of missing any bloons and even if it does, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Favourite Upgrade: Bloons Dissolver

Monkey Buccaneer
The Monkey Buccaneer is one of my main towers in Park Path and the Archipelago. The Destroyer is a much cheaper version of the unupgraded Super Monkey and you can upgrade it on the 2nd path too and allow it to detect camos as well as giving it an extra attack. The aircraft carrier is an excellent upgrade and is very effective against MOABs but I tend not to use it too much on the later rounds as it causes a lot of lag. For the Cannon Ship, the only real purpose for me is popping leads and a little extra damage. The Monkey Pirates don't seem to be worth it either, well perhaps for emergency purposes it's alright as it can take down a whole BFB (however, you won't earn any money from it).

Favourite Upgrade: Aircraft Carrier

Monkey Ace
One of my other favourite towers is the Monkey Ace, it deals widespread damage everywhere and both paths have good upgrades, Neva-Miss Targetting is epic at taking down rainbow bloons and below and it can be used as a substitute to the Bloons Liquefier used in the rounds before the first MOAB comes. Dart Storms are also an ideal upgrade, as it shoots sixteen darts, also placing six 2-3 dart storms in the middle of Monkey Lane can defeat the MOAB Madness special mission. The Sceptre is an epic late tower game that is probably slightly more powerful than the Sun God. I usually get it once I have 2 upgraded super monkeys. The Ground Zero is something I never use, the fact that it can only take down non-MOAB class bloons and that you don't get any money from it and the upgrade is also pretty expensive.

Favourite Upgrade: Dart Storm -->
