Using this defense, you would beat the early game with Obyn, the 402 Ninja, and the 401 Alchemist. (The Acidic Mixture Dip is then applied to a random target.)Ī bit of an advanced trick is to save a space for the tower that you are going to main buff once you get it. Let's jump into it.ĭespite there being so many towers in this Alchemist's range, you can see that the Avatar of Wrath receives the Stim buff first, indicated by the glowing aura at its feet. With study and practice, you'll be able to rewire your intuition and become that much better at playing BTD6. You will learn several factors that explain why B is the better position. It makes sense, according to intuition, that you would think A is better than B. If you took this litmus test and chose the wrong spot, don't feel bad. And in truth, despite A looking so good with its perfectly used range, B is the superior position and the correct answer for this question. How peculiar-against all intuition, it is actually B that does better than A. Take a moment to watch both videos and see the results. I recorded both spot A and spot B to show how they do against round 6, the first round of CHIMPS mode. The Dart doesn't make use of all its range, and there are straight lines cutting through it straight lines take a shorter time to traverse than curved lines. I mean, look at how the Dart Monkey perfectly maximizes its range on that curve! B, on the other hand, looks clumsy and silly.
I think most players-perhaps you included-would quickly choose A. The way a player answers this question tells a lot about how much they know about the game.
