This is THE definitive guide for the best monkeys for beating CHIMPS. I am correct and you can't argue. (P.S, please do not get mad if you disagree with me) (P.S 2, I am now starting to realise that some of my information may be outdated, but from my attempts at harder maps, this guide still works quite well! So just remember that some other monkeys are also great for CHIMPS, not just what I mention.) Stalling Getting monkeys that can stall out bloons are far more important then you'd think. You WILL need some of these monkeys to beat harder maps. 0-0-3, 0-0-4, 0-0-5 Glue gunner. These are the icons of stalling, MOAB glue, relentless glue, and super glue are all amazing. You'll generally want to get 0-1-4, and if you have cash to spare, 0-2-5. 0-0-4 Boomerang. Pushing back MOABS is great, really great. You'll want to get a few 2-0-4's, lined up on straight paths. 0-3-0, 0-0-3 Heli. Pushing back bloons and moabs from anywhere on the screen is amazing, you'll want to get 0-3-2, and 0-1-3 (0-2-3 if you don't have any de-camo) for each. 0-4-0 Ice monkey. Get to 2-4-0, and use the ability when lots of bloons are on screen, and they'll all be frozen. Very good for it's price. 0-0-4, 0-0-5 Mermonkey. These are very useful at any time! (I think) 0-4-0 Ninja. The ability slows all bloons (and MOABS!) by a very large amount for a decent amount of time, get two or three of these guys and it makes a joke of later rounds. 0-0-4 Beast handler. I have no idea how to use this guy well, but he picks up BFBs and MOABs and can send them back wherever you want! You can also merge with other beast handlers to get more range. 3-0-0 druid. This guy is only good for mid game, but he is VERY good for midgame. Think of it as a more effective non-global 0-3-0 heli. DPS DPS towers are what you're really going to rely on. They are absolutely needed. 5-0-0 ace. Get some basic supports, and get to 5-0-1, and watch everything die, only if you're doing some micro. 0-5-0 mortar. Half support, half destroys everything. Huge damage, decent stalling, but like the ace, micro is recommended. (Get to 2-5-0 or he is useless!) 0-0-5 Dartling gunner. Getting 2-0-5 and supports are needed, but make for a very, very strong tower! I don't know where else to put these towers, so 4-0-0 and 0-0-5 Spike factories go here. ALWAYS place at the end of a track, get 4-2-0 for longer maps, and 4-0-2 for short maps. Get 2-0-5 if there's no support, and 0-2-5 if you do have support. 4-0-0 and 0-4-0 Beast handler. Both are very strong, with or without merging. Although, I do recommend getting a 4-0-0 beast to 64 beast power, as it destroys later rounds. And best of all, you don't need to crosspath either! 5-0-0 Buccaneer. Providing extra damage too all water based monkeys and ace pilots can add up tons of damage, and the mini planes deal insane global damage without any micro! (For the love of everything holy ALWAYS get 5-2-0!) 5-0-0 Boomerang. Best used on curves and bends to get bloons hitting the glaives around him for longer, and either crosspath can work. You can get 5-2-0 if you want an easier time late game, or 5-0-2 if you want an easier time mid game, and to pop DDTs. 0-0-5 mortar. Works extra well if you're an arsonist. Doesn't rely on supports since he can pop all types of bloon, and de-camos! Micro is needed on harder maps like the 0-5-0 mortar however. (Always get to 0-2-5.) 5-0-0 Wizard. Great with Obyn, and on maps with lots of line-of-sight blockers. He is also very easy to save up into because of how good 3-0-0 and 4-0-0 wizards are mid game! His crosspath depends, but the recommended crosspath is 5-0-2 so you wont need to spend money on camo. On easier maps, you can get away with easier strategies like 0-0-5 druid plus 0-0-4 druids, or 5-0-0 ninja plus 0-3-0 ninjas, since these recommendations are for harder maps. Corvus is an amazing hero for damage, but is so complicated I don't even know how to use him. If you use him right, you'll win any map. Adora is also very good for damage, but you need to make good use of her blood sacrifice as to get XP and the buff she gets for tough rounds. Support I could have made stalls and supports into one section, but then it would've been way too long. But without some of the following towers, you're never beating CHIMPS, so use these! Now! 4-0-0 Alchemist. THE best tower in the game, by far. Gives out amazing buffs, and I mean amazing, to any tower in it's range. Get to 4-2-0 if two or bellow towers are in it's range, and to 4-0-1 if more towers are in range. Any village. When buying and upgrading expensive/multiple towers, get a couple 0-0-2 villages for discounts, the crosspath depends on what you already have. get 2-2-0 villages for basic supports, if you already have camo detection just get 2-0-0. If your towers can't hit DDTs, get 0-3-0, the crosspath depends on the situation. If you're using any primary towers, get a 3-0-0 village! Just do it! For de-camo, the prior mentioned 0-2-0 village is very good, but a 3-0-0 submarine is very good as well! 5-0-0 Submarine. Very good if you have multiple abilities, or your main DPS is an ability. 0-4-0 Engineer. Can make any tower deal insane amounts of damage! Best used late game due to it's price. 0-4-0 glue gunner. Can make all bloons on screen take extra damage from all attacks, and allows all affected bloons recive damage from any attacks, acting like a cheaper 0-3-0 village! very useful on DDTs and rounds packed with MOAB class bloons. 0-0-4 Mortar. Removes fortification from bloons, MOABs, DDTs, and BFBs. This has insane value for beefy rounds like 98, making them much easier. Gwendolin's heat it up buff works very well with low damage towers like bottom path tacks or bottom path snipers, she also grants a very powerful global boost to all fire based towers like middle path wizards, or top path tacks. Obyn's buffs to all magic monkeys, specifically druids, are very powerful, and he's a great hero to have if using any magic based DPS. All of Geraldo's shop items are powerful, and he has many that can buff other monkeys, but talking about it would take too much time, so I recommend learning him yourself.
