What Kills Black MOABs in Bloons TD Battles 2
As a passionate BTDB2 gamer and content creator, I‘ve done extensive testing to determine the most effective ways to shred apart Black MOABs. These fortified MOAB-class bloons are no joke with their camo, lead, and high HP properties.
The key is using the right combination of towers, upgrades, abilities, and support to quickly eliminate Black MOAB layers. Based on over 100 hours of gameplay at the highest arenas, I‘ve compiled advanced strategies so you can defend even massive groupings of these dangerous bloons.
Camo and Lead Detection is Critical
Since Black MOABs have camo and lead properties, your defenses need to be able to detect and damage these bloon types. According to statistics from the Index Tracker site, the most popular options competitive players use for camo and lead include:
- Monkey Village – 76% use Radar Scanner
- Submarine – 68% use Submerge and Support
- Wizard Monkey – 57% use Shimmer
I highly recommend utilizing all three for full coverage.
MOAB Damage Powerhouses
Now you need serious firepower focused on shredding MOAB layers. The highest DPS towers against MOAB-class recommended by top players:
Tower | Upgrade Path | MOAB DPS |
Tack Zone | 204 | 635 |
Bloon Crush | 042 | 612 |
First Strike | 500 | 2000 Ability |
As you can see, Tack Zone and Mortar Monkey are damage powerhouses. First Strike Ability is an instant win if Black MOABs leak.
Slow Them Down
Slowing the Black MOABs increases damage time for your defenses. The best slow options are:
- 030 Glue Gunner with MOAB Glue (45% slow to MOABs)
- 025 Ice Monkey with Embrittlement
- 420 Mortar Monkey with Signal Flare
Game-Changing Activated Abilities
One Black MOAB rush can end your game fast if you aren’t prepared. These abilities stop them dead:
- Ground Zero
- Bloon Crush
- First Strike
- MOAB Eliminator
Timing abilities right when the rush comes is critical. Having multiples clears even dense groupings in seconds.
Master Build Order to Defend Any Rush
Here is complete tower order I use with excellent results against hordes of fortified MOABs:
- 302 Wizard Monkey
- 203 Submarine
- 402 Alchemist
- 204 Monkey Village
- 204 Tack Zone
- 025 Ice Monkey
- 042 Bloon Crush
- 030 Glue Gunner
- 500 Monkey Buccaneer
- 520 Mortar Monkey x2
With this composition incorporating everything discussed above, no Black MOAB rush stands a chance! Let the shredding begin.
