Overview
(OUTDATED) How to use the engineer to dominate the early game and make all the money in the late game.
The Strategy
1.Get the engineer tower unlocked and go into a game.
2.Build an engineer and upgrade it so that it can place sentries.
3.Wait for round 2, then spam red bloons to increase your cash flow.
4.Continue spamming the top level bloons as they spawn faster and thus, can be spammed more. However, also upgrade your engineer with the remaining cash.
5.After round 8, build what you normally build and enjoy your 600-650+ cash flow.
Towers that are needed/work well with this strategy
Engineers are weak to both Lead and Camo. While this can be sorted out via the cleansing foam, that upgrade isn’t the most reliable. As such, make sure you don’t rely on cleansing foam unless you have some other back up. However, if you have the 4th row of upgrades, make sure you get bloon traps as they are incredibly good for clearing a ton of bloons whilst also making some more money. Also, I encourage you to try different towers along with this strategy to find something you find fun and effective.
Towers that work well
1.Ice Towers slow things down and with the 9-inch nails ability, it makes the engineer a lot stronger in the mid game. However, it also makes white bloons more threatening.
2.Monkey Sub benefits a lot from the engineer as the advanced intel works off of all the sentry towers.
3.Monkey Village grants both camo protection and also buffs up all the sentries nearby, making them stronger.
4.Banana farms, while not that useful in this strategy as you often have ridiculous cash flow, are great with engineers as they can often help save you money so you can go and buy an early farm.
5.Super Monkeys are the most expensive tower in the game easily. However, with your high cash flow, you can easily make enough money to get a couple in a game easily.
Why This Strategy works
Due to the engineer’s early game advantage of creating a bunch of towers, you can often spam bloons early on instead of buliding more defences. This makes it so that you have more cash flow, which then you spend to earn more cash. The strategy can still let in bloons if the oppenent spams bloons back at you however, unless they have a strong starting tower that can focus on swarms of small bloons, they will be overwhelmed.
Thanks for Reading!
Thanks for reading my guide and I hope that it helps you win a couple games. If you have any questions about the guide, write it down in the comment section and I’ll try to respond to them. Also, if you enjoy the guide, give it a thumbs up so I can get that dirty (nonexistent) steam guide money. Also, it might look like I don’t play much with only 7 hours played right now, but I have played much more in the mobile version.
