Primary Training affecting an Alch-buffed Overdrive

Primary Training is the 3rd upgrade on Path 1 of the Monkey Village in Bloons TD Battles 2. It adds an exclusive buff to Primary Monkeys and Pat Fusty, giving them +15% pierce with a minimum of +1 pierce, further +10% range, and +25% projectile speed.

It costs $800, and is unlocked after purchasing Monkey Village.

Strategy

Summary

Primary Training's buff makes it strong in conjunction with Primary Monkeys, but most especially Tack Shooters due to their low pierce and range. In practice, a Primary Training is mostly to enhance Tack Shooter strategies.

Tips

• Primary Training 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 2,000 XP to unlock. Players who have unlocked this upgrade before the update will not receive a full refund.

3.2.4

• 3xx: now increases primary towers’ pierce by 15%, minimum +1 (previously a fixed +1 in all cases)

“	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.

4.4

• Now also affects Pat Fusty

Trivia

• Until Version 1.0.2, which changed all Tier 2 upgrades to be unlocked for all towers by default, Primary Training was the Village upgrade with the second-lowest XP requirements, second to Radar Scanner.
