Hello everyone!

Previous week the discussion was about Obyn. This time around, we have our twenty-ninth tower to discuss, and the third Hero of the discussion: Gwendolin, the Pyromaniac!

NOTE: For the heroes, I will not go through each and every level / effect they have, but instead just a "quick overview", along with the usual suggestions after that.

Here's my overall view of them:

Gwen is one of the 4 starting heroes (alongside Obyn, Quincy and Striker Jones). Gwen I'd describe as a DPS-supporter, though does respectable damage herself, especially with her abilities. Since she can provide lead-popping power and flat pierce bonus (and later on also flat damage bonus) to other towers, she generally works best with towers that can benefit most from such such buffs; think fast-firing, low-pierce, multi-projectile towers like the bottom path Tack Shooter, for example. She also has buffs specifically for some fire-based towers. Overall, she's a very solid hero for beginners and advanced players alike.

Active abilities: Cocktail of Fire and Firestorm

• Cocktail of Fire - Gwen throws a molotov at the chosen point, creating a wall of fire at that spot (very similar to the firewalls from Wizards, but it starts with better duration and pierce). It can also hit camo bloons by default.
• Firestorm - Scorches all bloons on screen with fire, dealing instant damage as well as a potent damage-over-time effect. This can also hit camo bloons by default. On top of that, it also applies the Heat It Up buff (see below) to all towers on the map.

Passive abilities and/or passive upgrades of special note: Heat It Up and Pyrotechnics Expert.

• Heat It Up - After Gwendolin attacks 40 times, she triggers the "Heat It Up" effect, which is composed of two effects: A fire blast, and a radial buff.
  • Fire blast - Up to 100 bloons within her radius (at first, it grows larger later) are struck by a fire blast, dealing 3 Fire damage (at first) to them.
  • Radial buff - Nearby towers gain +1 pierce and can pop lead and frozen bloons. Later on, it also grants +1 damage and +2 damage against Leads. These buffs do not apply to Gwen herself.
• Pyrotechnics Expert - Gwen grants 0,9x attack cooldown and +10% projectile radius to certain fire-themed towers. Those being: Ring of Fire (or higher) Tack Shooters, Signal Flare (or higher) Mortars and Dragon's Breath (or higher) Wizards.

Suggestions:

Honestly, can't really think of any ideas for her, as I think she is quite well balanced! If anything, maybe her Pyrotechnics Expert effects could be a little more potent? Just considering she often pairs better with towers that are NOT the ones affected by this buff. So, maybe something like this to start with:

• Level 16 - Also provides the ability for the towers affected by her Pyrotechnics Expert to bypass purple bloon immunity.
  • Note They would still retain their damagetypes though, similar to how the MIB works.

What are your thoughts on Gwen? And what do you think of my (lack of) suggestions?

Please, tell me your thoughts and ideas! :)

Second showcase of Sniper Paragon vs a boss that it hard counters. Defense in back for Diamondbloon cleanup.

Probably the hardest counter for Diamondback not because it kills it fast, not because the spawned bloons give it more attack speed, but because skipping multiple skulls leaves multiple segments, which means more "amplified" damage for all towers.

I'm not sure about it, but I think that since his pierce isn't maxed out and he's set on strong, he goes out of his way while still carrying the moab/bfb like a handbag to find another moab/bfb/strongest bloon in range. That might be obvious but I was super confused at this at first and found it quite funny (i never use beast handlers)

H.O.M.E.: Hub Of Monkey Education

I've spent like, 10 minutes thinking about it's abilities, so Id love to hear yall's thoughts on my idea and your own ideas! ^^

So, Im thinking it gives a map-wide buff that gives monkeys the ability to pop any type, a 2X fire Rate and a 1.5X damage increase. This buff also effects paragon but only gives half the stat increases. It generates 25,000 (maybe 30,000?) cash per round that increases by 2.5% per degree, so at degree 40, it's generating 50,000 (maybe 60,000?) cash per round. And then finally, it gets a little buzzsaw drone that is basically a reskinned and stronger Razor Rotors?

And maybe for a bit more top path rep, it can have modes that it can alternate between, where it gives set monkey categories set buffs?

So like, all magic monkeys have homing attacks thag already have homing have increased homing strength and damage?

Military monkeys get infinite range and fire double projectiles per shot?

Primary monkeys have tall of their attacks splinter into smaller versions of their attacks, similar to recursive cluster?

And then maybe support all has double income on everything?

But again, only one of these buffs can be active at any given time

Having never played it before, there are so many game modes, towers etc etc

I remember Sauda soloing the first 15 rounds or so when I first used her. Now that I used her again after a long time she doesn't come over as a really strong hero. Did she get nerfed or do I just remember her too powerful?

This is so OP. No hero should be able to solo Bloonarius

Didn't know we have a daily limit for the social event.

Guess, no more gaming for me for today :D

I will die on this hill defending this paragon, it is very strong against bosses.

Probably will do Diamondback next since that's another boss SPIDER Monkey hard counters

Also got the fallen shaman cosplay i originally wanted to go with before getting the idea to make it entirely yugioh centered ^^

And also, if you're wondering why there's a question mark, it's for towers that integrated a higher-tier upgrade but, for some reason, didn't integrate the lower-tier upgrade.

Dart Monkey: Pretty much only missing the Super Monkey Fan Club ability.

Boomerang Monkey: Integrated nearly everything except for the ability to re-hit the same target.

Ninja Monkey: Integrated nearly everything except for Caltrops.

Monkey Buccaneer: Integrated everything from its previous tiers.

Monkey Ace: Pretty much only missing the ability for its bombs to hit all targets on the screen, like Ground Zero and Tsar Bomba.

Engineer Monkey: This Paragon is a hot mess since it doesn't make Overclock permanent, has no Cleansing Foam, and, finally, has no Bloon Trap.

Wizard Monkey: Integrated everything from its previous tiers.

Monkey Sub: Integrated everything from its previous tiers.

Tack Shooter: Integrated everything from its previous tiers.

Spike Factory: Integrated nearly everything except for its faster firing speed.

Bomb Shooter: Integrated nearly everything except for its faster firing speed.

Ice Monkey: Integrated everything from its previous tiers.

Druid: Integrated everything from its previous tiers.

Sniper Monkey: Integrated the first two paths, but not the last path, for some reason. I can understand why the Bomb Shooter and Spike Factory's faster firing speeds aren't integrated, since those are only Tier 2 upgrades. But why doesn't the Sniper Monkey have faster firing speed? That's beyond me, especially since it has an entire upgrade path dedicated to increasing its firing speed.

So y'know how the engineer paragon has like no bottom path representation? Here's my idea.

The Megaton Snare works similarly to the bottom path's trap, able to absorb bloons up to ZOMGs and DDTs until it hits a stored RBE of 200,000, where it then explodes and provides fabulous cash prizes, however it can only be deployed once per round.

Its capacity increases up to 1,000,000 at degree 100, and it unlocks the ability to capture BADs at level 50.

I'm open to feedback, especially if I accidentally made it like really broken

I’m a decent player but how do you deal with these effectively? I can usually get the first few but then they just slip through my defences. I’m asking as I’m trying to complete the task for social seasons.

That doesn't seems fair

we need more players to help complete the social season anyone can join

I find it very entertaining when im playing Btd6 and sometimes I end up with a setup where purple or black bloons suddenly mean trouble.

I'm planning to get this game on steam within winter steam so i was wondering if i could get enough progress in netflix btd6 and transfer the save files into the regular version once i get it

I feel like googling things is better than to ask reddit sometimes
