Massive Ornary Air Blimp (M.O.A.B.)/Strategies

Add strategies below.

Tips

 * If unlocked, use M.O.A.B Maulers to pile on M.O.A.Bs and B.F.Bs.
 * Don't use darts against M.O.A.Bs, unless using Monkey Aces and Super Monkeys.
 * M.O.A.Bs are considerably easier to pop than B.F.Bs, though they are still quite troublesome.
 * It is easier to put 6 M.O.A.B. Maulers with a Jungle drums for a increased fire rate and for no need for Road spikes to pop the blimp.
 * Road Spikes are generally a waste, as it doesn't generate enough money to fund for itself, and it'll take many of them to pop a M.O.A.B.

Strategy #1
This strategy was added by Mojo22106.
 * It is recommended that you unlock the M.O.A.B Mauler upgrade for Bomb Towers, it only requires Rank 17.
 * Use Super Monkeys to help.
 * Set Bomb Towers' target priority to Strongest so it targets M.O.A.Bs and B.F.Bs.
 * If you have any Mortar Towers start aiming them near the entrance(s) after round 45.
 * Once you have multiple super monkeys, set the priorities of half of them to Strongest and the other half to First, so you can take out the ones closest to the exit and weaken the B.F.B/M.O.A.B's.

As said above, use multiple M.O.A.B Maulers to increase max damage. Freeze Towers, Monkey Beacons, and Glue Gunners help slowing down the Bloons. When popping M.O.A.Bs, explosives tend to do more damage. Sharp attacks such as darts, spikes (except MOAB-SHREDR Spikes), and tacks are not recommended. Use as many M.O.A.B Maulers as you can because in later waves/rounds M.O.A.Bs, and worse, B.F.Bs usually stack. So one B.F.B/M.O.A.B can be up to 3!

Strategy #2
By Joe.Blanchard4 ''If you have enough money, buy lots of bomb towers and set their priorities to 'strong' and upgrade to M.O.A.B. Maulers and at round 46, it should have a powerful explosive effect and the M.O.A.B. should be destroyed with a few hit. You can also try them in Sandbox Mode.''

Strategy #3
Works best on BTD5

Use some sort of corrosive glue to corrode the bloons inside the MOAB once it releases its Ceramic Bloons. If you are on BTD5, use MOAB Assassin Ability from the Bomb Tower or MOAB Takedown Ability from the Monkey Buccaneer. The towers that you want to attack the MOAB should be set to Target Priority: Strong. Get a Super Monkey Storm Beacon in case a fatal error occurs. Futile towers include Dart Monkey (except Super Monkey Fan Club in BTD5), Tack Shooter (except Blade Maelstorms), Boomerang throwers (except Glaive Lord, Lightsaber Thrower and Turbo Charge), Ice Tower, Buccaneer, Monkey Ace (except Spectre, NevaMiss Targeting and Ground Zero Ability when the bloons seem like getting away), Monkey Apprentice, Glue Gunner (except a corrosively upgraded one, Bloon Liquifier, in BTD5, is best).

Strategy #4
Use 2+ Cripple M.O.A.B's to slow them down nicely. Next you will need 1+ Bloon Liquefier's and 1+ Glue Strikers. A Ice Tower with Viral Frost might be quite useful if it is placed at the middle sections end of the track. 2+ M.O.A.B. Assassin's will be a huge help. 2+ Sun Gods (not Monkey Temple's!)and 3+ Monkey Buccaneer's and you will find it easy to defeat even huge bunches of Bloons. Note: Ray of Dooms will help a lot.

Strategy #5
Just use a MOAB assasin, and then use a SUPER MONKEY or monkey mages.Planterobloon, the master 00:25, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Strategy #6
MOAB Maulers followed by a Bloon Liquefier+Splatter. This glues every ceramic and they are popped in 1.823 seconds.

Strategy #7
Multiple Glaive lords placed well should defeat MOABs well

Strategy #8
Start off with some MOAB Maulers at the beginning of the track to take the MOAB down to ceramic bloons, then put 2 tempest tornado's at the end. It costs lots of money, but you can still try this in Sandbox Mode.

Strategy #9
By User:Iyreguy  For BTD5 Use at least 2 MOAB Maulers set to 'Strong" and a Spike Factory with MOAB-SHREDR Spikes (placed not too far from the Maulers to help them in case the MOAB escapes) to damage the MOAB. If you have enough money, use Cripple MOAB set to 'Strong' to pause off until the MOAB gets destroyed. Then, use Semi-Automatic Rifles or Bloon Dissolver/Liquefier with Bloon Impact to pop it's children.
 * Cost: Medium-high
 * Works best on Medium/Hard.

For BTD4

Do the above except you replace MOAB SHREDR Spikes with Spike Storm, Bloon Impact with 1 or 2 Mortar Battery, and Bloon Dissolver/ Semi-Automatic Rifle with Tempest Tornado. You cannot use Sniper Monkeys for this one for ovbious reasons.

Strategy 10
Any Non-Z.O.M.G. Bloon can be destroyed by the Monkey Ace's Special Ability. In fact, it can destroy unlimited bloons!

Strategy 11
Consider piling them with 2-4 Dart Monkeys, and spam the ability. They should also easily clean up the mess left behind.

Strategy 12
The Monkey Buccaneer's Special Ability can easily destroy a M.O.A.B. (Kheserthorpe - it can take out a BFB on iPhone version - and since it takes it -whole- this is a fantastic attack).

Strategy 13
One B.A.D.S., or two Rocket Launchers, can easily destroy a M.O.A.B., but you may want to use it along with a Super Monkey to clean up the mess on harder maps...

Strategy 14 (By Robot746)
One Cripple MOAB (4/2) and another (0/1) sniper monkey can easily destroy an MOAB.

Stratergy 15 (By Iyreguy)
One MOAB Asassin and a 4/2 Glue Gunner can easily take care of an MOAB.

Strategy 16
(Requires Tack Awesomiser, only likely to work about once, requires a special agent) A bloonberry bush with full thorn capacity can deal up to 400 damage to a MOAB that runs over it, leaving other towers to mop up the 216 remaining life. Preferrably, 4 MOAB maulers should crush the MOAB after it has been damaged sufficiently, then an Arctic Wind should hold the Ceramics that appear still.

Strategy 17 (By AlthaBlade)
Using several Tack Sprayers along with a Bloons Liquefier can easily take down a MOAB and its children.

Strategy 18 (By Moon Snail)
1 bloon annihilation ability can sweep out 20 BFBs easily. no children to deal with either.

Strategy 19
When you get to round 39, start saving up for a 0-3 super monkey. Then upgrade to 2-3, this will deal with all moabs until round 50.

Strategy 20 (Kheserthorpe)
Tested iPhone version 5 only.

I've pretty much stopped using MOAB maulers. Instead run a kill zone built around glaive lords (start with a few just at glaive riccochet) and ice towers boosted to ice shards, wrapped with bomb towers upgraded to cluster bombs. With a monkey fort in the middle, about 3 of each of these with maybe 4 on the cluster bombs will actually chew up BFB's, not just MOABs, not to mention making short work of anything else coming through. At least one glue gunner as well. Before getting radar, a ninja near the tail of the killzone mops up the odd balloon and gives some hit vs. camos. This seems like a better setup vs. sub-MOAB class, but seems to do so much damage it doesn't matter.

Strategy 21 (Pvzguy7331)
Use 2/3 Sniper Monkeys accompanied by some MOAB Maulers.

Strategy 22
Use a Bloonsday Device. Expensive, but it can take out large amounts of MOABs and BFBs.

Strategy 23
Kill it with Road Spikes.

Strategy 24
Use many Disciples of Fire, or many Bionic Boomers with the glaive upgrade. Turbo Charge also helps.

Strategy 25 (Poisoon140) (High Cost)
This was tested on regular Bloons Tower Defense 5 on The Rink. Get a 4/1 Sniper Monkey, then the M.O.A.B. will be popped before you can see the whole thing. Have a Glaive Lord or a Super Monkey ready because when the M.O.A.B. is popped it will turn into many blue bloons, and the 4/1 Sniper Monkey doesn't fire very fast.
