Apopalypse/Strategies

This page contains strategies for Apopalypse mode in Bloons TD 6.

It may not seem like it, but not earning any cash between rounds can really make the difference in buying strong upgrades in time or not in early rounds, so it is best not to waste money on cash-generating upgrades and buy firepower ones first. Otherwise, the defenses could easily get overwhelmed by the Bloons.

An effective start on most maps is a hero that can be bought right at the beginning (and the free Dart Monkey if the respective Monkey Knowledge is active), like Quincy, Ezili, or Sauda (the latter would work best next to an intersection or inside a loop), or even Etienne if More Cash is enabled.

After the player has defenses strong enough to tank rounds up to 25-30 without many problems, it is advised to turn attention to x-x-3 Buccaneers and above, because they will still be able to generate cash every time a new round comes in, effectively reducing the game to Medium difficulty with overlapping and randomized rounds.

It is true that the first Camo Bloons appear 3-4 rounds earlier than in other gamemodes, but in this first wave they are all Red Bloons, meaning it should not be a problem if they leak (of course, the defenses must have been able to preserve enough lives, but 10-15 or a full Mana Shield should be enough).
