Short-Lived (Special Mission)

"Good old Monkey Lane, except, any tower you place disappears after 10 rounds! Finish Medium difficulty to defeat this dastardly Special Mission."

- Description

Short-Lived  is a difficult Special Mission in BTD5. It is unlocked at Rank 60 (40 in Bloons TD 5 iOS) to play it, making it the final Special Mission unlocked. $1,000 Monkey Money and 100 Awesome Points are awarded upon completion. You have to beat Monkey Lane, Medium - but towers only last 10 rounds! Reward for completing a round is increased to 299 plus the number of the round.

Tips

 * Banana Investments Advisories disappear before the interest for the 10th round is being paid. But the price of $15,200 without Path 1 upgrades is still less than the maximum earnings of $21,995. To achieve maximum earnings collect the balance after 8 rounds as well as during the 10th round.
 * Don't forget to collect it then you give your money for it for nothing.
 * If you buy a lot of Banana Research Facility, it is very helpful for later rounds.
 * Don't buy a Temple of the Monkey God so early, because you waste your monkey in early rounds. Buy it at round 56.
 * Bloonsday Device Pros are very good for later rounds (since the B-Day Device costs 250 Monkey Moneys). There are a lot of MOAB-Class Bloons.
 * Buy only 2 of this and do it only on double Monkey Money days. The amount of rewarding is only 1500 Monkey Money, because you have wasted your Money.
 * A lot of 2-3 Dart Monkeys are the cheapest and the best camo detection for early rounds and strong bloons.

Trivia

 * The RBE page is very helpful for this mission because it allows you to see in advance what Bloons will come in the next 10 rounds.
 * You cannot sell towers, rendering Monkey Tycoon useless.
 * Save your money and try to survive with minimum towers needed until you get through Round 56 (if you build a tower during or before Round 55, it will disappear before Round 65).
 * This Special Mission can be played in Freeplay Mode.
 * Ever since the Special Agent Pro update, Bloonberry Bushes also disappear after 10 rounds.
 * Saving up money is a good choice, so the player could buy towers that have disappeared again.
 * The Dart Training Facility is a good choice for this Special Mission, because you can save up money with a free Dart Monkey at the start, and every time it disappears, you get another one.
 * The best time to beat this mission is when double Monkey Money is in effect as you get 2000 Monkey Money.
