Primary Mentoring (BTDB2)

BTDB2

“	All Primary Monkeys in radius get tier 1 upgrades for free, increased range and reduced ability cooldowns.	”
	^{~ BTDB2 description}

Primary Mentoring is the 4th upgrade on Path 1 of the Monkey Village in Bloons TD Battles 2. It gives an additional exclusive buff to Primary Monkeys, giving them further +5 range, -20% ability cooldowns, and free Tier 1 upgrades. Also provides the +15% pierce buff and minimum +1 pierce as with its predecessor.

It costs $2,500 and is unlocked upon purchasing Monkey Village.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

Primary Mentoring's buff makes it strong in conjunction with Primary Monkeys, but most especially Bomb Shooters due to how expensive its Tier 1 upgrades are and because of adding various buffs that cater well with strategies oriented around Striker Jones. It is also helpful for Tack Shooters and Ice Monkeys due to their generally low ranges.

Tips[]

Primary Mentoring crosspathing depends on needs of the defense, although Radar Scanner is often the best choice due to the fact that most Primary Monkeys have a camo weakness.

Version History[]

Initial release (compared to BTD6 during Version 28.0)

Released

1.5.0

No longer requires 12,000 XP to unlock. Players who have unlocked this upgrade before the update will not receive a full refund.

3.2.4

Primary Mentoring now increases primary towers’ pierce by 15%, minimum +1 (previously a fixed +1 in all cases)
Primary Mentoring reduces primary towers’ ability cooldowns by 10% -> 20%

“	Top Path Village’s pierce buff was incredibly negligible for primary towers with high pierce, such as Bomb and Boomerang. We have reworked it so that it now provides a percentage-based pierce buff instead, with the minimum pierce increase remaining at its old values so that low-pierce towers are not negatively impacted by this change. Primary Mentoring has been buffed because a 10% reduction to ability cooldowns was not significant enough, considering that primary towers’ abilities are more often than not sold after being activated.	”
