I'm surprised you didn't use artic wind for the ice monkeys. Considering you were dying to bloons and not Moabs, you could have benefited from that. That would have also helped your ice shards from the bloons being closer together. For the snipers, Cripple Moab would have been beneficial for stalling the Moab. You would need 2 snipers on first, last, close, and strong, and 1 of each needs to be a 4-1 and 4-0 to allow maximum stalling. I also uploaded a video for the Bloonchipper reaching freeplay and chose not to try, so now you must create a YT short to showcase to us how far the Bloonchipper can go =D (Also just want to point out I like that for a few frames in some of your recent videos your WIP script is displayed.

34:39 "depleted bloontonium" is a reference to the "depleted uranium" armor-piercing ammunition, because uranium has a high density, therefore penetrates deeply, and, yes, they are also toxic.
40:54 yup, td6 is also programmed like this, the game uses single thread computing, which means that only a small part of the cpu calculates ALL projectiles hitting ALL bloons e: its hard to add :( if you didn't know
@Odds15 cpus with faster clock speed, the best way to speed up bloons td games is to overclock your cpu (lol the irony since overclock is the best way speed up your towers )
Love how the epilepsy warning gave us enough time to skip ahead. Most content creators put them in two seconds before, not thinking that people need time to actually process the warning. Thank you for that bit of extra thought!
@Phenomix hello, mister. Please repeat the one with ninjas as you didn't fill the map correctly. Please also repeat the super monkey as you should have put sun avatars or tech terrors in the empty spots not taken up by the temples😅
I'm also pretty sure the guy who got maze at round 445 farmed enough money to fill the entire map with 2-4 Dartling Gunners, you were limited on cash since you did not farm. Very interesting video for sure! P.S. I bet you were listening to Noisia - Machine Gun during the Dartling Gunner part ;)
The boomerang specialist building is both underrated and overpowered. Everyone just uses the engineer building to not deal with the early game or the super monkey building for an absolutely insane lategame.
Accidentally clicked on your video, couldn't stop it because I immediately got up (bluetooth headphones) and Im glad I didnt. Nice video. I dont play BTD5 anymore, but your narration was nice and enjoyable. Ill probably watch more. Need something while I mine mindlessly in minecraft LMAO.
That's a really big compliment honestly, I'm glad I could keep your interest even with you accidentally clicking the video! And I used to be obsessed with stripping mining diamonds and trying to get 100+ an hour so I definitely relate on that part lol
Bloontonium is used in bloons monkey city to make bloons and is what you use to upgrade your supermonkeys in supermonkey2 or whatever that game is called
50:00 Bloon chipper is a good tower to use to create regrow farms especially ceramic regrow farms, with its speciality building dazing bloons its even more efficient at creating regrow farms, so naturally its very vulnerable to regrow bloons and it's going to be catastrophic against regrow ceramics, im convinced chipper loses to regrow ceramics no matter what you do with it
@@Phenomix I think the 4-2 chipper could've probably handled the later rounds but I guess regrows were a problem. I always feel like having a few 4-2 chippers along with other towers can get pretty far. Maybe with a jungle drums and camo detector from the village could probably handle the regrows. Great video though and thanks for the rounds at the end, I was thinking someone should put the towers and the rounds they made it to in the comments as well as maybe time stamps in case someone wants to see a specific tower. I watched the whole video and I prefer btd 5 content more than the other btds.
@@Phenomix yeah maybe retry the bloonchipper, I just gave it a shot but I used 1 meerkat pro to detect camo and put a bunch of 3-2 chippers in the first box, and just one 4-2 because they are already pretty strong. I don't like the vac side of upgrades I feel like they're worse it's okay to have one or a few vacs but 3-2s spam to take care of regrows is better than having only a few vacs. I could probably get pretty far with the chipper alone without a village idk if you didn't want to use special agents but there's definitely a way to get past 49. And if you allowed yourself to use a banana farm since it's a part of the specialty building to collect bananas, technically you're just using it's full potential or ability and it would help. And maybe using a village to get cheaper upgrades alone and sell then rebuy and upgrade to save money.
@@Phenomix Damn I gave it a shot with a monkey village and 3-2 spam but round 63 has a bunch of ceramics close together so it's pretty impossible to pass i even tried it with the village being 2-3 and no luck. So maybe trying it with farms to get more chippers might work but I'm not sure. The chipper is just good for Moab class bloons, and as a support tower.
51:42 I remember one day that I was playing BTD5 (in Ninja Kiwi Archive because i'm poor) and I got a quest that it was to pop an X number of bloons with 2-X submarines. So I went to ''Dune Sea'' (a (somehow) advanced map), in hard mode (because impoppable doesn't exist there) and I started with the special agent that shoots bees (that one bear that i just forgot his name) and I started placing the 2-X subs, alonside with some farms. and even with no airbust, the subs were doing fine (but i absolutely needed road spikes in case you are wondering because i didn't want to lose a single life). But because I could only use 2-X, the subs started to struggle so much in middle 60's. But thankfully i checked if i completed the quest, and it was complete, meaning that i can finally croospath the subs, so I went back in the game, and finally, started to get 2-2 submarines, and they COMPLETELY destroyed everything (but they struggled kinda a few times anyways). And when I got to round 85, before beating the ZOMG, i decided to sell my farms to buy 4 call to arms villages to cover every single sub, and they DESTROYED THE ZOMG ENTIRELY, making that another map that i beated on hard there (and i have to say that i got by accident 2 2-3 subs and that i only got to round 87 due to ability issues). So, with all of this mentioned, I can confirm that 2-2 subs are that strong, and even more if you can add some buffs to them like I did in my game. Anyways the video was great, keep it up like that Phenomix 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and it's awesome to see you watched the whole thing! I also wanna let you know, 2-x actually means you can have any upgrades you want on the right path, the left path just has to be tier 2. That's impressive you got so far with 2,0 subs though!
This is a great video! I know you say that BTD 5 and earlier iterations may not get as much attention as BTD 6 or BTDB2, but keep in mind that that means you have less competition when it comes to formulating new types of videos, and videos that get recommended will stand out even more. I mean, if no one has done a formal "how long can x tower last in BTD 5", why not take that opportunity? Heck, you can now use this same topic with special agents, BTD 4, and earlier BTD games.
I was the cause of the dartling gunner in the title because of my run. >:) Edit: oh you poor soul...(although this is my mistake), but you need the switch version for the extra space on the right, and to use BADS in the front and ROD in the back, as (for some reason) on the switch version, there is extra space on the right.
Extra clarification, I said "infinite" in the post, because after my 4th token, the game began to lag worse than with the tacks, and after 8 hours, I stopped looking at the round number so I could speed it up by 1 FP5S and since it was 8 hours, I just guessed an extra 45 rounds had passed. I no longer have the run, because I had a life and was going for mastery.
@@Phenomixfinally just finished watching for real (two or three times I restarted it cause I fell asleep…). Such a good video! Excited to check out your other content. Also might add you to the sleep creators I watch 😂 (++watch time)
You are an absolute maniac and I love it, frankly you're one of the few content creators I actually get excited to see new videos from (Also lord have mercy on your poor wrist)
50:02 buying more dual blade chippers might help since they have double the damage output, not letting bloons regrow and overwhelm them (altough they have less bloon "intake" per second which shouldn't matter)
@@Phenomixyeah 3-2 chipper can pop faster. Maybe the bloonchipper could get it's own video for a retry. I just tried and could only make it to 63 because ceramics are hard to deal with.
9:15 semi-auto is actually a whole lot better than deadly precision due to the dps being just slightly higher AND the group damage being astounding. 16:35 I never knew that, that is some really cool (& good) trivia.
The Boomerang part was so satisfying to watch. I loved seeing the blotches of Boomerangs at like 12:37. And Bloons Tower Defense 5 will NEVER be "irrelevant". It's the best and most beloved in the series.
You are insane for doing this challenge. It’s a question many people have but no one will do. No one but an insane RUclipsr with dedication to find the answer.
wtf...this is such an underrated channel??? uhhh? get this man to 1m subs?? he deserves it?? no but fr, this is rhe first video i watched fully and im in love with your videos! keep it up man!
I'm not sure this works for BTD5 as well (it does for BTD6), but if it does, you can press shift+tab instead of just tab to go backwards instead of forwards. This works for almost every single application that uses tab (so tabs on chrome, developing programs, etc). This could help with your helis switching target!
Sheesh dude, the pure commitment to a video idea you knew probably wouldnt perform as good as others is insane. It shows a love for the series that far surpasses any view oriented goals. Its extremely admirable, you've got my sub.
That seriously means a lot to me, when I make a btd5 video, I definitely am considering how this game doesn't have a huge playerbase, but at the same time, I truly have a passion for it still and I just know that nobody else is gonna push this game the same way btd6 has been
35:50 I could be wrong but in 4.2 version for android RoD had true infinite pierce or at bare minimum 50k pierce per second, i tested out the pierce limit of each tower against huge regrow farms (more than 30k ceramics) and RoD in 4.2 version (for android) managed to destroy 60k regrow camo ceramics in one second, the lag was intense so i'm confident that regrow farm was very huge, maybe in other versions of btd RoD had true infinite pierce, i also tested it against 1000 grouped bfbs in sandbox and with one RoD i managed to defend infinite bfb spam, it took me 3-5 RoDs to handle infinite 1k grouped zomgs with RoDs in monkey lane sandbox mode
Yeah, the ROD definitely has an incredibly high pierce, I have another video where I ran a regrow farm that did 80 million pops an hour and it was the ray of doom that kept it under control. I think at this point of the video, the ceramics were moving so fast that they were barely even getting a chance to be under the RODs, and since I didn't move them, the bloons were able to escape
34:45 i don’t think they are supposed to be poison in this context lol i think the depleted bloontonium is supposed to be like depleted uranium, which is incredibly dense, so it makes very effective armor piercing rounds
Yeah the bloonchipper isn’t very good against regrows on its own but giving it something like a glue will make a vast difference as the bloonchipper is considered a support tower I think.
20:05 How did you pop the moab? In one of your older videos you tried a similar challenge and the ice tower failed, you tried everything possible in that video and you still couldn't even pop the moab layer, what's different this time?
That was on Impoppable Mode, so the MOAB moved faster, and upgrades were more expensive as well. This was all done on Easy Mode in order to get as far as possible.
In BTD5, line of sight isn't a thing yet so it doesn't affect the towers. It's funny to see how they just shoot over trees or entire mountains on some maps
Long form btd5 content, always love hour long, or almost hour long, videos. I wish more people would make 50-90 minute long videos regularly, at the sacrifice of uploading less frequently Also thanks for the mention!
Absoluely insane! I tried to play freeplay for 10 years in btd5 but no more than 180 rounds. You even reached to 1000! Here you privided the new strategies! How about btd6?
Honestly, the main reason i don't play btd6 is because most of the good ideas have already been done, so it's hard for me to think of something unique that I could contribute when it comes to that game. But I am thinking about creating a map soon and maybe I could re-create BTD5 maps (although I think even that's been done lol)
Just finished video. This was so awesome bro! Thanks for doing this idea. Another idea you could do if you have enough towers or monkey money is to see how long each special agents can get past in BTD5
@Phenomix I have a mobile APK version on android that gives 999,999,999 monkey money, and basically maxed out everything else except for pro special agents. Unless you can find a mod like that on PC then maybe you'll have to do it on mobile. I can probably send the link if you need it for a mobile version but not sure about a PC version
This has definitely earned a subscription because holy cow you put a hell of a lot into this video. Also I don't know why but you kind of sound like Derek Zoolander.
@@HunterHoward-ub4hg Originally I had written sabo ninjas as well, but I think that then we would need to add overclock and there's an argument to be made for glue and then it's just not just that tower, you know? Buut it's faster to type "They don't pop" instead of "the villages don't pop"
I always think about that lol, sometimes I'm tempted to say something like "since BTD5 only has 2 paths and 4th tier upgrades" after the first time I mention a 2-4 or 4-2 tower in a video
Much better experience than the modern movies of today. And now for the kicker, are there plans for a Battles version of this? Not only the bloon rounds are BTD5 rounds cut in half but the freeplay is also harder, and with half the space available, and no room for error. Maybe even a modded redo of it too ;p
Battles does have a way to test out strategies, doesn't it? I'd definitely have to talk to someone like yourself who probably knows a lot more about Battles than me, I was kind of just a CC noob when I tried playing for couple weeks lol
I'll definitely try this out with special agents as well, I might have to grind for Monkey Money first though lol. And thank you for the compliment! This video got me 200 new subscribers so far, so I think you're right!
You said that you're suprised that dart had such poor performance and maybe it's not that good (it is) but this test is not in darts favour (and it shouldn't be). Dart is very cost efficient tower that's why it's so good at 1-85 but in the late game the cost effectiveness of a tower plays much lower role because of the amount of money you have Also btd5 has a lot of strong individual upgrades and basically all of the towers are very strong
For tack shooter u could use autocliker and u will I think beat that round without a fail Edit: U could use farm to easily upgrade these and see the true test this is how I planned doing it on dark dungeon where each tower can go and video wont be now but when I have time
This video has made me what a replay this game so many good memories Who were the thought a flash game about monkeys popping balloons would be so fun and make an amazing franchise.
I was actually able to beat r49 with chipper. It seriously just takes spamming 3-x chippers at the front of the map. I used 24, but I don’t think you need that many. I did use farms, but it does show that this is theoretically possible.
@ i ended up continuing the run, and was only able to get round 86… you just can’t afford very many swf, and you get overwhelmed by moabs. Doesn’t look like chipper is a very good solo tower suprisingly.
Im pretty sure u could push supermonkeys if u started spamming robo monkeys after the first set of temples. Robo monkeys for some reason do more dps then sun gods and tech terror saw it once in a bodil40 video comparing the two used it ever since.
Yeah I actually just saw that on the wiki, so I realistically I think spamming 2,3's would go even further and it's something I definitely wanna explore
@ Yeah you can, it’s honestly pretty busted. Might try it for myself and I’ll let you know what round you can get to, though I got mobile so I’ll probably die to lag first
Went to round 100, I just set up 1 max location and the balloons couldn’t get out for a second, but the abilities on mobile are really bad because they just don’t click half the time. Pretty sure you could get to like 200-250 at least with a good setup
awesome video man. and honestly idk how much a better pc would help even with sprites theres still like 1000 sprites to load on the screen at once. amazing vid nonetheless kept me up even though i have work in like 6 hours lol.
Also if you utilize other bugs, spamming 4-2 reactors around a first strike makes the cooldown STUPID fast. I have no doubt that will allow the sub to hit higher rounds
I'm surprised you didn't use artic wind for the ice monkeys. Considering you were dying to bloons and not Moabs, you could have benefited from that. That would have also helped your ice shards from the bloons being closer together. For the snipers, Cripple Moab would have been beneficial for stalling the Moab. You would need 2 snipers on first, last, close, and strong, and 1 of each needs to be a 4-1 and 4-0 to allow maximum stalling.
I also uploaded a video for the Bloonchipper reaching freeplay and chose not to try, so now you must create a YT short to showcase to us how far the Bloonchipper can go =D
(Also just want to point out I like that for a few frames in some of your recent videos your WIP script is displayed. I assume you must be writing it as you play the game, unless you're watching the footage and writing as you watch it)

@@Phenomixyeah 3-2 chipper can pop faster. Maybe the bloonchipper could get it's own video for a retry. I just tried and could only make it to 63 because ceramics are hard to deal with.
9:15 semi-auto is actually a whole lot better than deadly precision due to the dps being just slightly higher AND the group damage being astounding.
16:35 I never knew that, that is some really cool (& good) trivia.
The Boomerang part was so satisfying to watch. I loved seeing the blotches of Boomerangs at like 12:37. And Bloons Tower Defense 5 will NEVER be "irrelevant". It's the best and most beloved in the series.
You are insane for doing this challenge. It’s a question many people have but no one will do. No one but an insane RUclipsr with dedication to find the answer.
It definitely feels really cool being able to make this kind of video for BTD5, since nobody else has before
Love seeing the script midway through the video lmaooo
Lil Easter Egg lol
Oh my god... the amount of work needed for this video.. incredible
I literally feel mentally exhausted just by watching
Man, I still remember back when I 100% this game on mobile. That and btd4 were such a fun distraction back when I had an ipod
wtf...this is such an underrated channel??? uhhh? get this man to 1m subs?? he deserves it?? no but fr, this is rhe first video i watched fully and im in love with your videos! keep it up man!
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much, it's a huge compliment that you watched a nearly 1 hour video in its entirety!
I'm not sure this works for BTD5 as well (it does for BTD6), but if it does, you can press shift+tab instead of just tab to go backwards instead of forwards. This works for almost every single application that uses tab (so tabs on chrome, developing programs, etc). This could help with your helis switching target!
That's really helpful to know, I'll have to see if it works the same way in BTD5.
Lmao you caught me 😅 52:39
Sheesh dude, the pure commitment to a video idea you knew probably wouldnt perform as good as others is insane. It shows a love for the series that far surpasses any view oriented goals. Its extremely admirable, you've got my sub.
That seriously means a lot to me, when I make a btd5 video, I definitely am considering how this game doesn't have a huge playerbase, but at the same time, I truly have a passion for it still and I just know that nobody else is gonna push this game the same way btd6 has been
35:50
I could be wrong but in 4.2 version for android RoD had true infinite pierce or at bare minimum 50k pierce per second, i tested out the pierce limit of each tower against huge regrow farms (more than 30k ceramics) and RoD in 4.2 version (for android) managed to destroy 60k regrow camo ceramics in one second, the lag was intense so i'm confident that regrow farm was very huge, maybe in other versions of btd RoD had true infinite pierce, i also tested it against 1000 grouped bfbs in sandbox and with one RoD i managed to defend infinite bfb spam, it took me 3-5 RoDs to handle infinite 1k grouped zomgs with RoDs in monkey lane sandbox mode
Yeah, the ROD definitely has an incredibly high pierce, I have another video where I ran a regrow farm that did 80 million pops an hour and it was the ray of doom that kept it under control. I think at this point of the video, the ceramics were moving so fast that they were barely even getting a chance to be under the RODs, and since I didn't move them, the bloons were able to escape
RoD has [-1] pierce in all versions, as btd5m has ALMOST NEVER reviewed balance changes
[-1 as in (2^31)-1]
34:45 i don’t think they are supposed to be poison in this context lol i think the depleted bloontonium is supposed to be like depleted uranium, which is incredibly dense, so it makes very effective armor piercing rounds
Wow I'm pretty dumb for that ngl lol
13:22 Judging by the views, I don't think it's irrelevant. Great video!
Absolutely awesome video. I haven't finished it yet, but I just wanted to comment before I forgot to LOL Keep it up man, you'll go far like this
Aye thank you bro, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you commenting!
Yeah the bloonchipper isn’t very good against regrows on its own but giving it something like a glue will make a vast difference as the bloonchipper is considered a support tower I think.
20:05
How did you pop the moab? In one of your older videos you tried a similar challenge and the ice tower failed, you tried everything possible in that video and you still couldn't even pop the moab layer, what's different this time?
That was on Impoppable Mode, so the MOAB moved faster, and upgrades were more expensive as well. This was all done on Easy Mode in order to get as far as possible.
not even a minute into the video and i'm like "Why did they place the dart monkeys behind the crate, now they can't see as much of the track??" lol
In BTD5, line of sight isn't a thing yet so it doesn't affect the towers. It's funny to see how they just shoot over trees or entire mountains on some maps
@@Phenomix i know i just had that gut reaction despite all my time with btd5 in the past lol
For the Bloon Chipper you might’ve been able to get past round 49 by spacing them out, and giving the rainbows less chance to regrow?
I've learned that 3-2 chippers could work since they shred 2 layers off, that was definitely a big oversight on my part
@ Welp gotta remake the entire video now
Bro is brute forcing his way into relevancy by torturing himself
When you look at it that way it doesn't seem like a good idea 😭
Long form btd5 content, always love hour long, or almost hour long, videos. I wish more people would make 50-90 minute long videos regularly, at the sacrifice of uploading less frequently
Also thanks for the mention!
The best BTD5 RUclipsr cooks again 🔥🔥🔥
Absoluely insane! I tried to play freeplay for 10 years in btd5 but no more than 180 rounds. You even reached to 1000! Here you privided the new strategies! How about btd6?
Honestly, the main reason i don't play btd6 is because most of the good ideas have already been done, so it's hard for me to think of something unique that I could contribute when it comes to that game. But I am thinking about creating a map soon and maybe I could re-create BTD5 maps (although I think even that's been done lol)
Crazy dedication into this video! 😭 other bloons creators would make each tower it’s own video lmao
Props to you for spending the time to use every tower to their limits. Definitely entertaining to revisit BTD5 and it's quirks.
Just finished video. This was so awesome bro! Thanks for doing this idea. Another idea you could do if you have enough towers or monkey money is to see how long each special agents can get past in BTD5
The special agents is definitely another video I wanna try soon, I might just have to use a mod to give myself extra monkey money though ngl lol
@Phenomix I have a mobile APK version on android that gives 999,999,999 monkey money, and basically maxed out everything else except for pro special agents. Unless you can find a mod like that on PC then maybe you'll have to do it on mobile. I can probably send the link if you need it for a mobile version but not sure about a PC version
Nice job on the video, when i looked at your subs i expected to see around 500k. Keep up the great work
Wow, that is such a huge compliment, thank you!
Really enjoyed this one! Respect for doing this video and investing so much time in it.
Hope it performs well❤
It's definitely been my best performing video so far, I'm really glad you enjoyed!
Great video man! One of the most nostalgic games for me and this is a really cool idea.
I'm really glad you enjoyed!
It makes me so happy to see someone still playing BTD5. I'm not alone lol
This has definitely earned a subscription because holy cow you put a hell of a lot into this video. Also I don't know why but you kind of sound like Derek Zoolander.
Thank you for subscribing! It's really awesome that this video has been able to reach so many new people
Finally made it to the end, and saw the subs...oh boy...Lord have mercy if there's a discord...cause I pulled out my switch and monke lab.
For the next video: How far can every boosted tower get in BTD5
Villages and farms allowed, as long as they don't pop anything.
Farms can pop bloons?
@@HunterHoward-ub4hg Originally I had written sabo ninjas as well, but I think that then we would need to add overclock and there's an argument to be made for glue and then it's just not just that tower, you know?
Buut it's faster to type "They don't pop" instead of "the villages don't pop"
Sub earned. I'm impressed with the dedication to do your craft of a game that's 13 years old.
Thank you so much! This video was definitely a labor of love for a BTD Game that doesn't get much in 2024
Comenter: "A lock in place ray of doom destroys the game"
Phenomix: Proceeds to not use lock in place and to seel the RODs for BADS
It was doing worse for me though 😭
This is scientific on a whole other level
Banger video, I had high hopes for the chipper, but I guess not haha
The swarm of boomerangs/glaives is really satisfying to look at
Holy crap dude this was very well made! Absolutely phenomenal work 👏🏻
Thank you so much! That's a really huge compliment, and it means a lot that you subscribed as well!
Love this video, and the humor. You earned a subscriber.
Thank you! That makes me really happy to hear
A 50 MINUTE PHENOMIX VIDEO????? LETS GOOOOOOOOO CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY
every time i watch your videos i get confused when you say "4 - 2's" or "2 - 4's" since im so used to btd6 😭
I always think about that lol, sometimes I'm tempted to say something like "since BTD5 only has 2 paths and 4th tier upgrades" after the first time I mention a 2-4 or 4-2 tower in a video
I do btd6+ so idk what your talking about
Much better experience than the modern movies of today.
And now for the kicker, are there plans for a Battles version of this? Not only the bloon rounds are BTD5 rounds cut in half but the freeplay is also harder, and with half the space available, and no room for error. Maybe even a modded redo of it too ;p
Battles does have a way to test out strategies, doesn't it? I'd definitely have to talk to someone like yourself who probably knows a lot more about Battles than me, I was kind of just a CC noob when I tried playing for couple weeks lol
The effort to make these videos is crazy
This man is the BTD 5 CHAMPION!
I was excited for this video:)
yet another banger and nearly an hour long love to see it
Just commenting to help promote u great job on the video your dedication is impressive
Thank you!
Can you do this but with agents?
Edit: Holy shit, you have so little subscribers with this well made videos. I'm sure it'll change soon
I'll definitely try this out with special agents as well, I might have to grind for Monkey Money first though lol. And thank you for the compliment! This video got me 200 new subscribers so far, so I think you're right!
Nearly an hour long, insane dedication
I thank you for the sacrifice of time it took!
2:42 I saw that Notepad. :P
This must have taken so long to make, well done! :D
It definitely did, and I'm really glad I pushed through and was able to get this video out. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the Epilepsy Warning dude❤️🙏🏼
Props for the effort good sir.
You said that you're suprised that dart had such poor performance and maybe it's not that good (it is) but this test is not in darts favour (and it shouldn't be). Dart is very cost efficient tower that's why it's so good at 1-85 but in the late game the cost effectiveness of a tower plays much lower role because of the amount of money you have
Also btd5 has a lot of strong individual upgrades and basically all of the towers are very strong
Ah, bt5 was goated. Played it a lot back in middle school. Awesome video bro
Thank you so much!
For tack shooter u could use autocliker and u will I think beat that round without a fail
Edit: U could use farm to easily upgrade these and see the true test this is how I planned doing it on dark dungeon where each tower can go and video wont be now but when I have time
This video has made me what a replay this game so many good memories
Who were the thought a flash game about monkeys popping balloons would be so fun and make an amazing franchise.
mad respect for the dedication 🙏
Thank you
can't wait for another phenomix vid
also under 20 minutes club ☟⬇︎⬇︎⬇︎
All those snipers being replaced deserves a like and comment, 30 minutes of tower placement is insane.
44:54 that one heli stuck on the top left
I still don't understand why that happened lol
*two buddy...
I was actually able to beat r49 with chipper. It seriously just takes spamming 3-x chippers at the front of the map. I used 24, but I don’t think you need that many. I did use farms, but it does show that this is theoretically possible.
Yeah in retrospect that was a big oversight on my part, I should have realized that the double shred would make the real difference.
@ i ended up continuing the run, and was only able to get round 86… you just can’t afford very many swf, and you get overwhelmed by moabs. Doesn’t look like chipper is a very good solo tower suprisingly.
Im pretty sure u could push supermonkeys if u started spamming robo monkeys after the first set of temples.
Robo monkeys for some reason do more dps then sun gods and tech terror saw it once in a bodil40 video comparing the two used it ever since.
Yeah I actually just saw that on the wiki, so I realistically I think spamming 2,3's would go even further and it's something I definitely wanna explore
I can't imagine how long this video took
Btw the tack shooter went way far than i could imagine
That tower was probably the biggest surprise for me as well, if not the boomerang
@Phenomix Same
Your narration and editing style is pleasant it’s so relaxing but engaginf
I'm really glad to hear that! I appreciate the feedback a lot
Bro is so underrated, you should be getting millions of views per video bro this is fire 🔥🔥
That's such a huge compliment, if I ever get a million views on a video idk what I'd do lol. That would just be so insane
You should retry the monkey sub with the reactor + 2x4 combo. If you set it up right, it’s pretty much a constant ability
Thank you for letting me know! I honestly did not know you could stack the reactor cooldown reductions and get an instant ability
@ Yeah you can, it’s honestly pretty busted. Might try it for myself and I’ll let you know what round you can get to, though I got mobile so I’ll probably die to lag first
Went to round 100, I just set up 1 max location and the balloons couldn’t get out for a second, but the abilities on mobile are really bad because they just don’t click half the time. Pretty sure you could get to like 200-250 at least with a good setup
The scope of this video is absolutely bonkers
Incredibly admirable effort! Loved the vid
Thank you!
This had so much effort put into it great job
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed
Great video!
Thank you!
Damn 200-1k subs over night, nice video man
Thank you!
Someone give this man a high end pc 🙏
awesome video man. and honestly idk how much a better pc would help even with sprites theres still like 1000 sprites to load on the screen at once. amazing vid nonetheless kept me up even though i have work in like 6 hours lol.
Yeah I'm honestly not too sure either, but I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Appreciate you sticking around to see the whole thing
Also if you utilize other bugs, spamming 4-2 reactors around a first strike makes the cooldown STUPID fast. I have no doubt that will allow the sub to hit higher rounds
I definitely wish I had known that when I made this video for sure, I'll have to test that out sometime!
@ also make sure the subs are submerged though
@@Phenomix what you need to do is get a first strike, then for each reactor sub, get it to 4-0. Then submerge it before upgrading it to 4-2.
Really good video! You deserve to be more popular.
Thank you! This video has definitely been growing the channel a lot already
Here it is let's go!
The amount of hours/work put in is crazy
