    How To Beat Wizard Lord (Special Mission) - Strategy



    Hi guys, today we will discuss on beating the Wizard Lord special mission on bloons tower defense. It is called Wizard Lord because it has a (4,4) upgrades and requires you to feed it every other round. 

    This freaking tower makes you sacrifice your most expensive tower every other round and it really makes me go mad (I'm sure you do too).

    Until I find this strategy guide on bloons wiki. Another thanks to them because I find the easiest and effective way to beat this Wizard Lord.

    Just a reminder, always replace the sacrificed tower into new ones to avoid the tower shortage on later rounds.






    Strategy:
    • Round 1-8 - Build Dart Monkeys towers (0,3) as many as you can. Alternatively, 6-8 towers should be enough. This is for sacrificing purposes because dart monkeys have the cheapest upgrade available there.
    • Round 9-14 - Start building a bunch of Bombing Towers (2,2) as many as you can.
    • Round 15 - At this point, you can upgrade your bomb towers to (2,3) because you will encounter your first MOAB bloons. If you have spare money, you can add Bomb Towers (3,2) near exits.
    • Round 20 - At this point, you probably lost some lives. But keep building dart monkeys. A completed Dart Monkey Building is an advantage because of the free dart monkeys.
    • Round 22 - You can upgrade the bomb towers to (2,4) and always replace the sacrificed one! Use the Phoenix ability if you are uncomfortable on having too many bloons on the map it would definitely help.


     Just another strategy, build monkey towers as much as possible. Don't worry about the money, for sure you'll have plenty of it because you are not upgrading your towers.

    How To Beat Full House (Special Mission) Strategy



    In this tutorial, I will discuss the different strategy on how to beat Full House special mission on Bloons Tower Defense 5. This special mission is one of the easiest mission on bloons td 5.

    In this mission, you need to pass Park Path on medium with no more than 5 towers on the field on the same time. Meaning, you can use all the towers and agents but each specific tower is not more than 5.

    Monkey Village and Radar Scanner tower is useful because during the later rounds, camo bloons would be hard to deal with. It will be good strategy to place Monkey Village tower near Monkey Engineer tower.

    In this guide, there will be 3 different strategies you can use to pass this mission. Please be noted that you the upgrade paths of each tower listed on the strategies below are the required upgrade paths needed as possible. Do not add tower if not stated and wait until you reached the stated upgrade.




    Strategy 1


    • Use and place Boomerang Monkey tower for your first defense on the upper left side of the map. Be careful not to place on the loop it will cause leak. Upgrade to multi-target.
    • When there's enough cash, buy Dartling Gun tower and upgrade to (2,2).
    • Buy 2 Spike Factory tower with upgrades (3,2) and (2,2).
    • After upgrading Spike Factory tower, buy another Dartling Gun tower (2,2).
    • When there's enough cash, upgrade the first dartling tower to laser cannon. Then focus on the other one.
    • Sell the boomerang tower and max upgrade both spike factory to (4,2) and (2,4).
    • Buy another dartling tower (3,2) and finish the game.
    The summation of towers must be 3 Dartling Gun towers with (3,2) upgrades and 2 Spike Factory (4,2) and (2,4).

    Strategy 2

    • Place Monkey Buccaneer tower (3,2) on northeast of the central lake.
    • On round 28, place Monkey Apprentice (2,2) northwest of Buccaneer tower inside the 3rd ring of the track.
    • Place Monkey Village tower (2,2) between 2nd and 3rd ring of the track.
    • On round 42, upgrade the Monkey Apprentice to (3,2)
    • On round 43, place Super Monkey (2,3) tower within the range of Monkey Village
    • Do whatever you want on the later rounds.

    Strategy 3

    • Sacrifice rounds 1,2, and 3 and buy Dartling (1,1) tower where it can hit the entrance.
    • Place Monkey Buccaneer (2,2) as far upstream as possible.
    • Upgrade Dartling tower to (2,2)
    • Strategically place Monkey Ace tower (2,2) on a right position where it can hit most of the bloons.
    • Save the money to upgrade Dartling, Monkey Ace, and Buccaneer to (2,3).
    • Place Super Monkey (1,2) tower above the lake in on the second u-turn.
    • Upgrade Buccaneer to (2,4) and upgrade super monkey to (2,3).
    • You can finish the game but in the middle of round 65, you can upgrade the last upgrade of dartling tower.

    MOAB madness special mission
    Photo credit to bloons wiki
    Hey guys, today I will show you the strategy on how to beat the MOAB Madness on Bloons Tower Defense 5 Special Mission. This mission is the same as the MOAB mission on bloons tower defense 4 but on a different map.

    Having a starting cash of $50000, you need to defeat the incoming 50 MOABs in a single round. Seems impossible? Don't worry, I will discuss the easiest way to defeat this mission.







    Strategy:
    With $50000 cash, don't waste your money buying multiple Super Monkey towers. Just use 2 Monkey Aces towers with (2,4) upgrade. The strategy will be letting the MOAB bloons to almost fill the entire map then activate the first bomb. The second wave will follow and wait until the last one comes out then use the ability of the second tower. Boom! You win the game. 

    Watch this video if you are still confused.


      Alternatively, a safe and easy strategy to win this special mission on bloons tower defense is to build 2 Heli Pilots (4,2) upgrades in pursuit mode.  Today we discussed 2 different strategy on how to beat MOAB Madness on bloons tower defense. Although this strategy is for bloons td 5, it will also work on bloons td 4.  Have some time reading some strategy on how to beat other special mission on bloons tower defense. Related posts:
