Easy/Normal/Hard

[Onizuka]

As by now I have managed to do all the maps in normal. As I write I'm trying the first map out in hard.

I bet most of you guys have managed to do all the maps in hard, so any special tactics, advices or comments?

To me the most difficult map was Nr.8, and second most difficult was Nr.4 to beat in normal.


Edit: I managed to beat the first map in hard and got to lvl 55 before dying.

Why no beacon?

I've managed to clear map Nr.2 and 3 as well in har dmode. At Nr.2 I got to lvl 55 and died and on Nr3. I got to lvl 56 and died.
Here's a screenshot of Nr.3:



Patashu, I don't buy beacons because I think it's not worth the money. Take into consideration I'm playing on hard, so it's a pretty big investment and for the layout of the towers (which means that the beacon area wouldn't cover many) and the type of towers I use, mostly Tack shooters, it wouldn't be really worth it. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me, since I'd like to be able to get further.

Edit: I know no one cares, but I just got map Nr.4 in hard, too. So 1/2 done.

good job!...keep going!!

How much of an increase do beacons even do? Double? 50% more?

[Onizuka]

Only the las map remains. Issue is I don't know how to do it since with one tack shooters too many bloons will go away. Two monkeys is not an option neither. Perhaps some place I missed or some weapon I'm discarded that could be useful?

It's possible that a boomerang monkey could do several rounds in this map. They are pretty good at the start. And a really good job, I'm getting flied away on hard long before a single MOAB.

I finally did it! Yay!!! I've beaten lvl 50 in the 8th map in hard. Here's the proof of it.


If you are interested, here is how I did it. The first Tack shooter was placed in the bottom croos, at the middle of both horizontal lines. I upgraded first the faster shooting. I managed to kill all but 1 ballons in the first two rounds. I upgraded as soon as possible to blade shooter and then both ranges upgrades. This is the way I upgraded all tack shooters you can see in the map.
As soon as I had enough money I built the second tack shooter at the same height but to the right. Then a third at level 14 -15. I saved some cash to buy then a cannon for the lvl 20 metallic baloons. Did upgrade only rage as by then. Put priority (of both cannons) to last. With this it's less probable they miss the metallic baloons and you have to use a pineaple and some road spikes.

Don't worry if a few baloons pass. Use road spikes when needed if it it's only 1 or 2 baloons save the money.
Continue building Tacks at the best places and also build another cannon for the other metallic baloons. After my second one I didn't have tu use any pineaples anymore.
I also upgraded them to the maximum around lvls 30-35.
At level 36 save as much money as you can for the first MOAB. As soon as it arrives, go berserk and plant some bombs (watch out the timing). After that, use some road spikes if needed, but you won't probably have to. Btw, the way the MOAB takes is random. So there is no use by having one way very strong protected because last time it went that way.

After the first MOAB it has no big secret. Keep planting Tack Shooters and have always some extra-cash for the future MOABs in order to kill them with bombs.

I managed to get to lvl 53, where I died. You guys can probalby plan a better strategy and get to level 60,70 or even 80. Feel free to post it in here if you want to.





And here is the final screenshot of all my gold medals together :P



If you have any questions feel free to ask, however I used the same strategy in all maps (tack shooters, cannon at lvl 15, and more tack shooters), but for the 7th map, where I built many cannons.

where people were getting to 80 was on map 1 on easy...not on hard lol....that would be ridiculous

[Patashu]

What now? A V.Hard mode? Beat the game without tack shooters?
