What does RBE mean in BTD5? An Expert‘s Guide to Bloon Terminology and MOAB-Class Mastery

Hey there BTD fanatics! Terry here, back with an EPIC deep dive into the key concepts and pro-strategies you need to dominate Bloons TD 5. In this comprehensive expert guide, I‘ll cover everything you need to pulverize those pesky MOABs, crush the brutal late game rounds, and flex your skills on Experts maps like a true monkey master.

Let‘s start with the basics – what does RBE stand for and why does it matter?

Understanding RBE – The Key to BTD5 Domination

RBE stands for Red Bloon Equivalent. This simply refers to the number of bloons you‘ll have to pop in a given round.

• For example, if a round has an RBE of 1000, you‘ll face bloons collectively equal to 1000 red bloons.

• Rounds with higher RBE will be tougher with more bloons, while lower RBE means an easier round with lighter rushes.

Knowing the RBE lets you plan your defense and upgrades to handle the upcoming round. Pro-tip: MOAB-class bloons like MOABs, BFBs and ZOMGs have absolutely massive RBE values, so watch out when they show up!

Let‘s break down the key bloon terminology you‘ll need to crush those MOABs:

These are the essential MOAB terms, stats and weaknesses you‘ll need to memorize:

As you can see, the infamous DDT with its camo properties isn‘t actually that bulky – but Black and Zebra bloons are sneakily deadly if you lack camo detection!

Now let‘s dive into some pro-tips and tower combinations that absolutely shred even the nastiest ZOMG rushes.

MOAB-Shredding Tower Loadouts

Having the right tools for the job makes beating tough bloon rounds a breeze. Here are my top damage-maximizing tower loadouts for erasing MOABs:

• Bomb Tower (4/2) + Village (2/3) + Alchemist (4/0): MOAB Maulers under a Jungle Drums village and Berserker Brew melt MOAB layers. Add a Cluster Bomb tower (2/4) to handle the ceramics.

• Bloonchipper (4/2) + Ice Monkey (5/2) + Glue Gunner (2/3): Stalling ZOMGs with Absolute Zero while Bloonchippers shred is brutally effective. Corrosive Glue softens up ceramics.

• Monkey Buccaneer (5/2) + Ninja (5/0): Destroying MOABs the instant they spawn never gets old. This combos Monkey Pirates with Grand Saboteur to trivialize even deadly round 98.

Mix and match these core damage towers with powerful Heroes like Gwendolin or Striker Jones and no MOAB rush stands a chance. Now let‘s look at some key strategies for BTD5‘s toughest expert maps.

Expert Map MOAB Annihilation

While beginner maps like Park Path are a cakewalk, expert tracks like #Ouch and Muddy Puddles will put your skills to the test. Here are some tips for coming out on top:

#Ouch CHIMPS:

• Rounds 40 and 60: Use 2/0/4 Bomb Towers to shred the MOABs and BFBs. Keep them near the track loop for rapid hits.
• Save Ben‘s Biohack and Syphon Funding for rounds 80, 90 and 95 to cripple the ZOMG and DDT rushes.
• Use 0/4/2 Druids surrounded by 4/0/2 Alchemists for freeplay DDT defense.

Muddy Puddles CHIMPS:

• Rounds 59-63: Use First Strike to instantly kill the Round 60 BFB. Build a 0/4/0 Sub for extra MOAB damage.
• Rounds 75-79: Goal is to damage the ZOMG as much as possible before it crosses land. Use Poplust Druids on the island.
• Rounds 90+: A Permabrewed 2/0/5 Wizard Lord Phoenix can burn down late game ZOMGs and DDTs nicely.

The key is understanding each tower‘s strengths and placing them intelligently to utilize the map‘s layout.

Now let‘s cover some quick fire BTD5 community questions before we wrap up:

BTD5 Community Debate and Trivia

• Is the hero Psi non-binary? Yes! Psi uses they/them pronouns officially, making them BTD‘s first explicitly non-binary monkey.

• Why was the Bloonchipper removed? According to NK, it was too difficult to balance without being eitheruseless or overpowered. A controversial decision!

• Are there romantic relationships between heroes? Fans LOVE shipping characters like Ezili x Adora. No canon pairs yet, but the potential is there!
