How to Play Bloons Tower Defense

Strategically Place Your Towers

To begin, find an optimal spot for your first towers and start the initial wave. At this stage, you\'ll only have access to the dart and tack towers. The stats displayed on the right offer valuable insights on the functionality of each weapon. It\'s important to place your defenses in areas that can cover multiple paths, particularly when using the tack tower, as it can hit balloons from various angles.

Upgrade Your Defenses

As the game progresses, you\'ll face increasingly challenging waves of balloons, making upgrades essential. The dart tower remains a reliable option throughout the game. With the piercing darts upgrade, dart towers become exceptionally powerful, so don’t hesitate to stack these effective monkeys together for maximum efficiency.

Unlock New Towers

Later levels introduce faster-moving balloons, ones with multiple balloons inside, and more resilient types that require stronger firepower. The black balloon, in particular, can be a challenge. To deal with these tougher balloons, you’ll need to unlock and purchase the bomb and ice towers, which you should be able to afford as the game advances.

Acquire the Super Monkey

It\'s generally a good idea to purchase the bomb tower first, as it’s the only one capable of popping frozen balloons. As you progress into the later stages, it becomes crucial to think ahead and place your towers strategically to prevent the balloons from breaking through. Once you have enough resources, you can unlock the super monkey, which is incredibly powerful and can eliminate balloons quickly.

Finish the Game

Bloons Tower Defense comes to an end once you’ve placed all your defenses effectively. From there, it’s a smooth ride to level 50, which is the final round. Completing it ends the game and earns you victory! Congratulations! Now you\'re ready to try Bloons Tower Defense 2 for even more fun.
