Overview
The best rushes you can find!
What is a rush?
A rush is when you send balloons in a deadly manner. I don’t mean spamming reds, I mean taking the opponent by surprise and destroying them. Rushes are DEADLY, and one or two of these may have killed you before.
The Rushes
There are many rushes, but I will name the best here:
–Round 12, Regrow Camo Reds
ISAB came up with this rush… it is insane and a must use!
If you can’t tell… this part is a joke.
–Round 13, Regrow Rainbow
Probably the most well known, also very deadly. It is hard to defend, and the opponent will need very good defences to defend. However, bloonjitsu ninjas DESTROY this rush, and when you use it, you will lose a lot of money. ONLY USE THIS RUSH IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL WIN!
–Round 13, Regrow Zebra
The brother of the Regrow Rainbow rush, and quite possibly the most cost effective! This rush is deadly because of the mass you can send, along with how explosions barely affect it. This rush is also VERY weak to bloonjitsu ninjas. Very cheap, so no worry of running out of money by sending 3 packs!
–Round 15, (Regrow) (Camo) lead
I put the regrow and the camo in brackets because they are optional. Camo leads are good if the opponent has no camo detection that can beat lead, Regrow is good if they only have a lightning wizard or anything else that doesn’t hit often. Send this on round 15 with the leads you unlock on round 15, not with the ones you unlock on round 10. If they have a flash bomb ninja or camo detection that can destroy leads, don’t use this.
–Round 20, MOAB rush/round 22, BFB rush
The MOAB is very well known, but people use it on round 18. THAT IS A BIG MISTAKE!!! The MOABs that come on round 20 come out WAY faster. The same is with round 22 and BFBs. This is a VERY expensive rush, and decreases the money you make naturally. ONLY USE THIS RUSH WITH BANANA FARMS! Also, this rush is weak to anything that does extra damage to MOAB class balloons(3+ right side cannon). Last thing: Use this if the opponent has bloonchippers. This rush will make bloonchippers get overrun.
–Round 22 Mega Boost BFB rush
The gamemode called Mega boosts makes it so that if you use a bloon boost and you send balloons, those balloons gain a tier. this means BFBs will become ZOMGs. If you use the round 22 BFBs, you will get ZOMGs that come out really fast. This rush it deadly, and saves you a lot of money. You are spending $2500 and getting $9000 worth for every BFB you send, which is enough to get a bloonjitsu ninja!
What to do to prevent these rushes!
Let’s say you are in the recieving side of things… How can we defend?
If you see the opponent putting a bunch of banana farms, you should put pressure on them and send a mini rush, such as a bunch of pinks, spamming yellows, or sending regrow blacks on round 8. This will force them to build more defences and waste their money so the rush isn’t as deadly, or they might even sell a banana farm so that they have some instant cash, however in the long run they don’t have as much cash!
If you see they have an obvious weakness such as leads but they don’t notice it, take advantage of it! Kill them with their own weakness. For example, if the opponent has a cannon and thats it, send a whole bunch of camo balloons. Or if they have an apprentice that doesn’t have camo detection but they have a ninja, send camo leads!
Finally, let’s say you realise they are going to rush you on round 13 but it is round 11. Quickly sell a lot of stuff and rush them and use a boost! This will throw them off guard since nobody could tell you were going to rush and they will die.
How to make your rush better!
This is a section that I recently have added. I have been getting a lot of complaints that these rushes are only good against really bad players. So anyways, lets get this in.
Layering
I didn’t know this was a thing until it was commented, so thanks to NatureSpirit.
Layering is to not just use one type of balloon but to rush with different types of balloons. This could be using regrow rainbows and camo leads. With that, the opponent will rush for an apprentice, one of the cheaper ways to deal with camo leads, but by doing that creating more regrow rainbows than there were in the first place, overall annihilating them. One of the better layering techniques is leads and zebras and pinks, just a small amount of each.
Taking their weakness
I didn’t cover this one too much, but I did touch on it. This means to take out the opponent by spotting their weakness and using it against them. For example, if you know that they only have a ninja and a cannon, and that ninja isn’t anywhere near being able to be upgraded to a flash bomb, then send camo lead balloons. The opponent can’t hit them with the cannon, and the ninja can’t deal with leads, so they are screwed over. Or, if they only have an apprentice, send them any kind of strong regrow balloon. The apprentice’s lightning bolt will hit balloons that are nowhere near the apprentice, causing him to create more regrows that he just can’t hit fast enough.
Baiting their energy usage
Using energy to defend is something that almost every player knows how to do. Depending on the skill, some people may use it a lot, and others not so much. If you want to get rid of their energy to defend, you can send them a bait rush. A bait rush is a mini rush to put pressure on the opponent. Either they will waste money to try and defend, or they will boost. Your goal is to get them to boost. However, don’t invest all of your money on the bait rush. This rush is just meant to cause them to use the boost, and when the boost no longer has an effect on their monkeys, then send a massive rush. They either wasted their money, allowing them to boost and defend(which you don’t want, so if they wasted their money, don’t send a rush), or they boosted, meaning that they have a cooldown of their boost, meaning they will have problems without having maxed out towers at the ready when you send your major rush.
Thank you!
Thanks for reading this! Tell me which rush is your favorite, or if I missed any! Also, check out my YT, it is called Maple Maelstrom! Have a nice day everyone!
