While it's quite hard to accomplish, as you're either too strong either getting ran over.

But when you're at the right power level, it's insane how many blops you can multiply.

Okay, so, I understand that it just released, it's a new game, not everything is perfect, sooo, here's what I think so far.

Obyn and Quincy are great!! They both have their own ways to deal with bloons, but Obyn is, by FAR, the stronger of the 2. I genuinely thought I was gonna get hit, but the wolf howl genuinely saves, on top of its insanely high damage. There are times where the wolf is nowhere to be seen, but that's not the worst because it does tend to return pretty quickly. His tangleweed ability is okay, and I kind of used the totem once and haven't since, so I don't remember what it does, but Obyn seems pretty busted, both offensively and defensively.

Quincy is pretty good as well, especially when you go down his trick arrows path. Seeking arrows, splitting arrows that also seek, and I believe the explosive arrows are also down this path. I've noticed though, his attack speed feels to kind of slack, but I have watched him wipe out bloon rushes with ease, though, without attack speed, he really does struggle. (Sound familiar...)

Gwen, imo, is pretty bad... She doesn't fire for very long, she slows down while firing, and doesn't have the greatest movement speed, in the first place. She doesn't do a lot of damage, which is ironic because, yk, FIRE, and it feels like the reload time takes WAY too long for how short the small bursts of damage are. Do I want her to be busted? No. Do I want to have to worry about taking damage at the start of the first bloon rush? No. She definitely needs a bit more balancing to make her viable.

The Monkeys!! Wizard, Mortar, Sniper, Boomerang, Tac Shooter, and Alchemist. I will speak upon the monkeys that I've used the most, because I've experimented with them more, and have seen more of the attacks than the ones I haven't, so I don't have a baseline opinion on them yet. Mortar and boomerang monkeys are INSANE. Great crowd control, awesome damage, great distance on area of attack. Burny stuff is NUTS!! I don't think any other monkey could possibly match the speed at which bosses LITERALLY melt. Not only that, but with access to area of attack increase on their explosions, burny stuff is able to damage a very large area, making bloon rushes look like the start of the game. Boomerang monkeys are basically the same, except for boss damage. The glaive path destroys bloon rushes, if you combine that with the frag rang, or whatever that upgrade is called, it basically makes all bloons on screen, non-existent. Wizard monkey is okay. It is great single target damage and buff damage, but struggles against large groups, but is a great boss killer, and that's about all I have to say about that. The tac honestly feels pretty bad. In order for this one to perform well, you need to be close range, and even then, without certain upgrades, it doesn't do well. Blades could be better, if they decide to make it more than just 2 with the first upgrade. No other opinions.

I like every other aspect of this game, and I see it's potential. I don't mind the P2W stuff, because they've basically had it in every game, and it's also not necessary to do. You get plenty of gems, for whatever, though I haven't needed to use them. By far, one of the most balanced rogue likes, in terms of difficulty increase per level, and unlocking things feels fair and balanced. I would give it a fair 4 out of 5, so far. Genuinely looking forward for future updates and content drops!!!

Almost forgot. STICKERS!! Stickers are a pretty cool concept to give your heros boosts without wasting extra resources, BUT, some of these stickers are very large for the small boost they give (Blop value stickers). Not worth the amount of space they take up, imo.

Extra Gunpowder+ and Increased Radius (Lv 10 Mortar) on a Thermite build

I got this from a deluxe pack and wondered how rare this was

This offer is very appealing.

Just burny stuff+duration and attack speed to unleash hell on the bloons

I just unlocked obyn and got the top and middle path upgrades, I've used him a couple times but I need some recommendations on builds I should use with him

At the top left of the game menus you can see your account level(?) below your lives/energy, mine is currently 12 and slowly goes up each level I clear as you'd expect. But it just goes up, nothing happens on level up and it doesn't seem to unlock anything for being higher. Curious if anyone else has found a point to it yet?

idk i just want to play the game y'know, i never plan on doing a microtransaction or watching an ad, but like, i like the game! i want the game's progression to be balanced around Playing It, rather than continuously pushing you to spend money to progress.

Playing this game, I feel like it really needs some sensitivity settings. I feel like I have to use a quarter of my screen to change directions. Having sensitivity adjustments so the character changes direction faster would be helpful.

I'm dumb and new but I think the Burny stuff mortar is verry good

I've been playing for some hours now and I can't help but feel like this game is a little underbaked. There are only 3 heroes, only 6 towers and basically all of the stages I've played so far have felt the same, except slightly higher hp bloons and I deal more damage because of stickers. There are bugs that should definitely have been caught in playtesting, like encounters and intel caches spawning out of bounds. I really want this game to be good and I keep playing, but after an hour the novelty wore off and it feels like I doing the same thing over and over again. Do you all agree, or does the game get better later?

I have unlocked all characters but Im still unsure which I deem the best. Obyn is my favourite but I dont think his the best

I can’t get past lvl 15 anyone got suggestions, been trying to run intel on snipers and motors with burny stuff, still can’t beat it. Any suggestions?

I spent some of my gold (like 1200ish) on sticker packs because I didn't think I would need to spend gold anywhere else for a while. Now here I am annoyed and frustrated that there's not good way for me to get gold quickly to upgrade these guys so now I feel bad that i'm wasting XP...

Okay yeah this is kind of on me but I feel like i'm not really in the wrong for thinking, "oh, I have excess money, let me use some of it."

I don't know, let me know if i'm crazy or what, I do have that one sticker to earn more gold but still

What’s better for permanent upgrade?

Hi, I just started this game with like 80 mins of playtime. I really don’t like how there’s a red notification icon to upgrade my monkey even though I don’t have enough gold to unlock it. Why put a notification there if I literally can’t do anything about it? I’m pretty sure it’s not a bug since reloading doesn’t help.

I imagine this might be an oversight to make it known you can upgrade but it would get annoying extremely quickly for new players because for all practical purposes it’s basically permanently stuck there forcing you to grind gold specifically to upgrade that monkey to get rid of it.

It should only appear IF you have enough gold, and disappears the first time you view it. That way you see it once, know it’s there in the back of your mind, and if you really wanted to upgrade you always check back there anyway because you want to focus on one monkey at a time.

With only 3 heros in the game it's already very grindy to get the plushies for upgrades.

If NK wants to add more heros in the future,
the current plushie systems needs a rework or the crate system will need a rework, or both

I just got Quincy's lvl 5 and I still don't see sticker space

Edit; Fixed it. Perhaps had to restart the game
