MOAB Graveyard

I used to struggle and fail in MOAB Graveyard until I invented the Lazy Man Strategy.  It is somewhat similar to other strategies on the net but much simpler.  The track view is below.

First place 1 Monkey Village near the end of the track and upgrade it  to 2/1 (Jungle Drums/Monkey Fort).  Then place Spike Factories and upgrade them 1-by-1 to 2/3 (White Hot Spikes/MOAB SHREDR).  The MOAB SHREDR is particularly important.  Do as many as you can, then start the round.  There will be 10 MOAB's in the first round.

After the first round, put a Super Monkey on the first bend and upgrade to 2/2 (Plasma/Epic Range).  Continue doing this throughout the second round.  Buy a Bomb Tower and make it 2/3 (Frag Bombs/MOAB Mauler).  Place before the second bend.  Continue building Spike Factories and upgrading to 2/3.  There will be 6 BFB's in the second round.

Now, you should have a lot of Spike Factories all in the radius of your Monkey Village, a Super Monkey and a MOAB Mauler.  Drain your money before starting this round.  If you have spare money buy more Bomb Towers and place near the first.  After the first two rounds, you will be feeling quite confident, maybe over-confident but ZOMG's are extremely difficult so be careful.  Just 2 ZOMG's will come but they will test your defenses to the last spike.  After the first one is beaten you know you're safe.  Just let out a sigh of relief and sit back and relax.  Claim your victory, tile, coins and bloonstones.

Shipwreck Smackdown

I blogged about all the other special tiles long after beating the tile.  However, I captured many photos of my smackdown on the Shipwreck Tile so it'll be much easier to understand.

Some tips:
1. Don't attempt this tile until you are Level 15 or above.
2. Use the whirlpools.  There are 4 and each has a cooldown time of only 10 seconds.  They suck in all the bloons that are going around them.  No, they cannot take down MOAB's but they can take Ceramics and anything less.

First, I'm going to explain each picture and the pictures will be at the bottom.

Picture 2 : You WILL need a 3/3 Monkey Buccaneer and as many as you can build.  This will be your main unit as it costs normal price.  In Round 1, get your Bucky (short for Buccaneer) to 0/3 which is Cannon Ship, if you can't order how many ever supply crates needed.

Picture 3 : By Round 4, you should have a second Bucky.  Proceed to upgrade him to Faster Shooting and Longer Cannons.

Picture 4 : Round 10.  Buy 3 more Buckies and place as shown in the photo.  Upgrade them slowly to 2/2.

Picture 5 : Round 15.  Upgrade as shown.

Picture 6 : Now things get tougher as land units are involved.  Place units as shown.  Upgrade Bomb Tower to MOAB Mauler(0/3), Boomerang to 2/2 (Glaive Thrower/Red Hot Rangs), and Monkey Apprentice to 1/2 (Intense Magic, Monkey Sense).  The prices will all be double their normal amount including upgrades.

Picture 7 : In the Last Round, get two submarines.  Upgrade 1 to 2/3 (Advanced Intel/Ballistic Missile) and slowly upgrade the others.  If you don't have subs its ok, just stay focused and use the whirlpools more.

Picture 8 : VICTORY AND 52 BLOONSTONES!!!

Heli Pilot Crash Site

After my previous post, I realized how irritating it was to imagine a track so I put track photos for both.  Here's the photo of the Heli Pilot track.  I hope the Dart Monkey and banners didn't block the view as I took it from the Internet but I think you get the general idea.                                                                                                                                               

First, put one Spike Factory on each last bend.  This means you need TWO Spike Factories.  (That was to my friend).  Then, put 1 Dart Monkey at the beginning of each track.  Adds up to 2 Dart Monkeys.  This should hold for the first few rounds.

Next you need Lead popping power.  Put a Monkey Apprentice at the start of each track near the Dart Monkeys.  Adds up to 2 Monkey Apprentices.

Finally and most importantly, build 2-4 glue gunners keeping 1-2 on each side.  This will slow down larger bloons and you will need it at 2/1 (Corrosive Glue/Stickier Glue).

From now onward its quite simple, just build more upgrade the Spike Factories to 2/2 or as high as you can and keep building Ninjas, Dart, Sniper and Boomerang Monkeys.  If you have Boomerang, you must upgrade it to x/2 (Red Hot Rangs) to pop Lead.  Also, place just a few more Lead poppers (Boomerangs count).  Near the end of the mission, you could think of repairing the Heli but that's your choice.

A final warning: I recommend that only Level 15 and above attempt this level.

A last tip that I forgot: Put all Monkeys on Strong Targeting.

Thanks for reading and share your ways of getting through this level.
