Overview
My name is Joseph, and I managed to turn 20k medallions into 1.1M in just under two weeks. This guide will briefly explain how I did it, and how you can as well. Through persistence, training, and redbull, you can get into those mouth watering higher level arenas.

Disclaimers
I would like to start off this guide by saying that I am NOT at all one of the best players, nor am I at all claiming to be. There are plently of people that are better than me, and could beat me.
Introduction
“Wow, you are amazing, how did you possibly manage to accomplish such a feat of strength, grand master?”
Well, you have come to the right person. I will explain to you how I did such a thing and how you can do such things as well.
Now that I have practically repeated myself three times, let us get into it.
So I am a Brand New Player to the Bloon’s Series, What Should I do?
I am going to make it clear right away that to become a good player you need to have first hand experience and an understanding of the game in general. Don’t expect that as soon as you have read and studied this guide, you will be a great player. You will need to experiment and learn through some of these things yourself.
The first thing that you need to do when you start playing Bloons™️️ is to learn about the current META, or Most Effective Tactic Available. This means discovering which towers to use in different scenarios, and the best well-rounded towers currently in the game. Currently, the best towers are the Ninja, Farm, Bomb Tower, Ace, and Wizard.
Sadly, I won’t go out of my way to explain how to fully use these towers. If you wish to learn more about each of these towers and what they are good for, take a quick look at Nobie’s,”Weaknesses and Strengths of Every Tower” Guide.
What if I Do Not Have These Towers Unlocked to the Fourth Tier?
You won’t go far without having your towers unlocked to tier 4, so until you get these all unlocked, take some time to hop into some quick play battles for a while.
At this stage of game, you will be going against other opponents that don’t have maxed out towers, so your priority should just be lasting to round 13, and rushing your opponent with either Regrow Zebras or Regrow Rainbows. Any unexperienced player will not have the required defense to defend against such a rush, and this will more than likely kill them.
If the rush that you have just sent at round 13 doesn’t kill the opponent, do not worry. If the opponent boosted, you already achieved something. If it looked like the rush was about to kill them, but they boosted just in time to save their life, wait until the boost has ended and go for a second rush. Since boosts take some time to restore, this rush should end up killing them.
If the opponent was easily able to defend against the rush, do not waste your money attempting to re-rush, but instead wait a few rounds. At round 18 send a spaced MOAB against your opponent and bloon boost if you can. This alone should kill them
If it doesn’t… Good Luck.
Just do this until you get a few towers unlocked at fourth tier.
Spin that Wheel of Dreams.
I even find that the wheel is quite overpowered. You will most often only score about 10-50 medallions, but every now and then you will get a free pass into a boss arena. When I first joined the game, I spun the wheel and got free access to the “Moab Pit”, arena that takes 10K medallions per entry. I won this and got an instant free 10K medallions to my account.
Find an Active Clan and Join It.
If you are just joining and none of the top 100 clans will accept you, take a quick browse on the https://www.reddit.com/r/BloonsTDBattles/ and see if you can find a clan to join.
Grind
This game doesn’t come about without it’s fair share of grinding. If you want lots of medallions, you will have to work for it. The method I used for deciding which arena to battle in was take whatever currently medallion balance I had and go into the arena that I could lose 10 straight times.
For example, if I had 20k medallions, I would choose Ceramic Crucable [2k entry] because I would have to lose 10 straight times to lose my entire balance.
Just because you have the medallions doesn’t mean you are always going to win, especially at the higher levels. You can either get a really bad player, or a really good player. Don’t go into a boss arena with 10k per entry when you only have 15k. If you lose, you will lose everything.
Conclusion
After spending the needed hours making your way up the ranks, you will eventually reach the stage where you can go into any arena without worrying about your medallion limit. If you are a decent player, about 500k medallions is when it will start to not matter. Just be persistent, and you will get there eventually.
As always, thanks for reading my guide, and I hope to see you ingame!
