Strategy[]
Summary[]
Faster Throwing increases the attack speed of the Boomerang Monkey, making it marginally better at overall DPS and catching faster bloons. A 0-1-0 Boomerang can also be afforded at the start of a standard CHIMPS game, which can be helpful for catching the early Greens.
Tips[]
- 0-1-0 Boomerang can be bought at the start of standard CHIMPS, making it a helpful starting tower to catch the Greens and still yet solo well.
- X-1-X is usually bought when going for an X-2-X boomerang thrower, which increases the attack speed quite a bit. This is can help the top path boomerang do more damage, especially when buffed by an alchemist, help bottom path boomerang knock back MOAB-class more often, or be a stepping stone to a X-3+-X boomerang, which can get a lot of DPS.
