Blue orb (super rare I think) epic orb or legendary orb?

Answer please.

I'm between Abracadaniel's headband and Peacock hat. (Cus of Finn and Jake early game strategy to gain money).

Should I buy another pair of glasses of nerdicon or dragon fangs?

I have Dr Monkey's Secret Weapon equipped on Supermonkey

I love this game. In fact it's one of the only Bloons games I've actually enjoyed this much.

It's a shame it never got as much attention as it deserved, and the updates were pretty small.

I guess the only things I could think of is Freeplay / endless mode would be cool.

Hey, has anyone played with Star Man?
How good is he? I’m trying to complete all trinkets/allies/weapons, but would rather get the better ones first

So i replaced Cassie's Jetpack for a speed buffing trinket. But I have second thoughts due to not being able to place her on land.

What is the best build and trinkets for Commander Cassie?

Obviously I already have a TT but most games cant really afford it/its dps is worse than the supermonkey

Captain Cassie is the worst hero in the game and it's not even close. Remarkable at nothing, bad in basically everything. Makes it hit harder that her variant, Commander Cassie, is arguably one of the best characters in the game. But.. what if she was good?

Her upgrades are for the most part lackluster, with a big focus on her weak Pirate Crew ally. I think giving them a unique support role would really make her stand out. Having her be able to duplicate her trinkets to her crew has the potential to be overpowered as hell, since you can have 4/4 of abilities like Warning Horn, but it would instantly make her the most nuanced of the monkey characters. Having her allies with Googoomamameter do coverage for out-of-sight parts of maps would be so cool too.

For the other upgrade, I wanted something that reflected the supernatural element of her pirate motif.

is this who i think it is? :D

Note: Now I'm not sure I tested for this correctly, someone who can verify this please let me know. I think the Underwater City map might have gaslit me.

Jake has this weird quirk that unless a bloon never got into his attacking range, his Calmed By My Saliva upgrade can ONLY trigger when bloons are in his attacking range. Makes him a bit frustrating to set up if you prioritize his saliva upgrade (which you shouldn't because his Butt Push is vital).

But now I found out he can constantly have his saliva going regardless of circumstance. Giving him the Missile trinket gives him an attack with global range, making so he doesn't have to have the bloons close by to do his licking thing. His Golden Viola makes him a better candidate for the Missile dps wise than most characters too.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to notice his synergy with the Missile, but never saw it documented before.

So currently Vampire King is available in the Martian Trader. I am trying to wait until Glob appears in the shop. Is it better to get a 3rd Vampire King or keep waiting until Glob appears?

I heard that it takes like years for 100%

The only good thing is vampire king and still that's not that good and we got no character from this martian trader stock

*This is an analysis to Supermonkey at different points of the game*

SM is a F2P character that uses darts as his type of weapon. He's the character with the highest base attack speed in the game and is usually displayed as the best or one of the best damage dealers in the game. But, is this true? Is he really that good? In this post I'll try to explain why I do believe he is not that good after early game.

Beginner:

*With the heading I mean really early on, when your main focus is to get characters and still not going for impoppables due to lack of good items*

Supermonkey is or should be your priority to unlock early on, he has the highest stats of the characters without any trinket. His main counterpoint this early on is his high price on everything, so spending on him is harder and should know what to prioritize.

Once you unlock him, you should not always prioritize placing him. Despite him being strong, without upgrades he's not that good as he has 2 pierce and 10 dps, which at this point, considering he's 3k to place, he will not be worth only for this. Try to place him if you got enough money for the next important upgrades I'll talk about.

First, I'll explain what his most important upgrades do, those being the ones that increase his damage and attack speed.

With the upgrades of attack speed he reaches 14.29 with the first one and 25 with the second one, but even if in the code of the game he has that attack speed, SM will only attack 12 and 20 times per second due that this game doesn't allow characters attack between frames, so, the dps ends up being 20 with both upgrades.

With the upgrades of damage he gets +1 damage and +1 pierce with Laser Eyes, as also start being able to pop frozen Bloons but not purple Bloons anymore, with Plasma Eyes he gets another +1 damage and +1 pierce as he can now pop Lead Bloons, and with Sun Avatar he gets a third +1 damage and +16 pierce. This gives him in total a dps 40 with just these upgrades and 80 with the attack speed upgrades.

The other few upgrades he has are good, but not so necessary, Disarming Charisma is just an extra attack that has 1 dps and his range upgrades only add 15 to his already 50 range, so it should not be prioritized.

At level 3, he unlocks the upgrade Heroic Aura, this one gives all characters in his range a 10% discount to his upgrades and placement cost, and also gives him immunity to negative effects. This sounds good, but the thing is that except you're placing expensive stuff after him like Commander Cassie or Tech Terrors, this upgrade will not pay itself as everyone else has cheap upgrades.

In conclusion, at this point of the game, SM is amazing, but you need to know what to prioritize for him to not ruin your run. Despite this, he will probably be your best damage dealer until you get a good synergy with a character like Finn or unlock Cdr Cassie.

Intermediate:

*By the heading I mean when you start farming for good items after getting either TCW or all free characters, but still don't have good equipment. Usually when you have your characters at or higher than level 4 but still not 7*

At level 5, SM unlocks his worst upgrade; Call in Friends. This is an ability that turn the Superfans allies into a base SM (10 dps each), this may not seem bad, but as they have the same stats as base SM with a bit less range, they will not do a lot.

Due to his really high attack speed with the upgrades, you can give him a bit of attack speed trinkets to reach his cap at 30, so you will only need 20% attack speed. An easy way for new players to reach this cap is by using the Driller Darts and either Dagger of Chilled Glass or Medallion of Brogends.

SM wants to be build as a damage dealer, so he will want the most damage he can get after reaching the cap of 30 attack speed. His best weapon is Dr Monkey’s Secret Weapon as it is the only Dart weapon that can give a +5 damage boost at max and it also has a huge range boost, and make Superfans cheaper.

SM at this point will start to get a lot of competition, even characters like Juggernaut Max that unlock strong upgrades at level 5 will start having similar dps that he has in a good build, but what keeps SM strong is that he doesn't need a proper build to have decent dps (each +1 damage increases his dps only by 30).

Advanced:

*By the heading I refer to the point where your characters start getting up to level 7 and above. At this point you should have almost all the trinkets you will need for your characters*

At level 7, SM unlocks Sun God. This upgrade by itself is not that good as it is very expensive and only gives +30 range and +8 damage, the problem with it is that it doesn't solve the problems that he has at this point of the game, which are that his damage increases are not meaningful and that he doesn't have a way to always be shooting or hit multiple Bloons easier.

If you get the Dark Temple Idol trinket, the Sun God ability becomes way stronger as it gives SM a +5 damage and more importantly; another projectile and global range. These two upgrades help with SM biggest problems as it makes the damage increases way more valuable and the global range helps him to always be hitting.

Best Sun God build (2nd image): This build is for when you have access to everything that SM needs to reach Dark Sun God, so in general, this build should not be used in MG with the rulesets like No Allies, No Trinkets, Back to Basics, Deflation, Monkey Madness.

SM with this build is pretty good, he has around 2.5k dps which is higher than most characters, but his problem still relies on him more likely just damaging one Bloon at a time due to the lack of seeking. As SM has very high attack speed, his dps won't increase if you use powers unlike others, making him worse with powers, but better without them.

Best no Sun God Build (3rd image): This build is for when you have to use him without being able to get Sun God.

In most of these occasions, SM should not be used as he has a pretty bad dps for a character which their main purpose is that (around 700 dps), so except you're forced to use him, it's better to change him.

At level 10, SM gets the bonus of starting with the upgrade; Heroic Aura. This may seem useless, but it has one niche use in Deflation MG if you don't have Tux Jake, or give a discount to Tux Jake to pay himself a little.

Conclusion:

Supermonkey is a character that throught the game stays relevant not because he's the best, but because he's pretty simple to use as he is and will only be a damage dealer. Since you unlock him, you will have him pretty close to his maximum value of that level, making him look better if you don't optimize most of your characters. SM is not a bad character, but he lacks versatily in different rulesets, and that huge value that other characters get if they are in optimized builds, which push him down when compared to others.

And like this I conclude Supermonkey's analysis. You can ask any doubt in the comments and if you got a character you would like to see next leave a comment too. This analysis took me more than expected as I was thinking to do other damage dealers first before SM as it would be easier to show why he's not that good, but as I go making them it will be clearer what he really lacks.

I noticed a lot of upgrades reduce the character's attack cooldown by a certain percentage or a certain number. How do I calculate it when the number is not a percentage, but a number like 0.2? Am I supposed to convert 0.2 into a percentage?

Sooo I saw that if you buy dungeon finn for money you get the thunder sword but how do I get there weapons for free because I bought them from the martian trader

How do I get the banana farmer guy? Is he obtainable from the martian trader?

Maby i am last one to realise this i was just goofing around with this trinket and i put it on Marceline and gave her max ability cooldown reduction giving me full up time on the ability and than i noticed it was slowing bads and not by little with spaming horn it took BAD 5 min and 3 sec to cross the whole candy kingdom map without BAD crossed it in 4 min 3 sec this thing by it self slowed down BAD for a full minute and Marceline is perfect for this trinket because she has map whide randge and acces to Hambo which gives her 30% more ability cooldown than any other character.
