The Crucible/Strategies

This page contains tips for The Crucible.

Tips

 * Deadly Precision Snipers are extremely effective in the sockets, as they fire shots taking out 18 layers at high speed.
 * In general, slow but high-powered towers work well, such as a Dart Monkey, a Bomb Tower, or an Ice Tower with Arctic Wind.
 * Placing two Bloonjitsu Ninjas on the Sockets Of Power is enough to pass all 25 rounds.
 * The Monkey Engineer can build sentries at an extremely high rate, even when 1/0.
 * A 3-2 Spike Factory will beat the whole mission if placed in the second crucible.
 * Because of this, if you make the Spike Factory 4-2, you can farm XP from this mission. You will leak a load of bloons on level 1, but if you focus on making the Spike Factory that is in the second crucible 4-2, you will farm tons of XP from this mission. Repeat for more XP.
 * Two 3-0 Monkey Aces or one 4-0 Monkey Ace will both beat the mission.
 * It has perfect conditions for regen XP farming if a player puts a 4-2 Monkey Apprentice on the first Socket and a Glue Hose Glue Gunner on the other.
