Attempts at Pat/Dart Only on Karts 'n' Darts
0If nothing else, this makes my points about how much Plasma Monkey Fan Club needs better passive combat. I can purchase the PMFC a good amount before the DDTs on Round 90. The problem? Round 91 is not reasonably survivable under the conditions of Pat/Dart Only. I came nowhere CLOSE to affording a second Super Monkey Fan Club because I'm already having to resort to rush purchasing Triple Dart spam as it is. I can't go speed crosspath on the Crossbow Master either because the Super Ceramics are already a nightmare demanding the pierce crosspath as well as a DPS crosspath Ultra Juggernaut. Even if I could go speed crosspath on CBM, he's STILL not going to hold DDTs by himself, and I guarantee that 92 would just be problematic enough anyway.
At least I can recognize that Dart is meant to have problems with Leads to encourage tower variety, since Dart IS the starter tower. The problem is when the most expensive Tier 5 is still having SERIOUS competence issues and people would suggest spamming SMFCs instead, which kind of doesn't work against DDTs here if your Hero's name isn't Gwendolin.
If I could get past the early 90s, the rest of this would just be a matter of making use of extra SMFCs, so as to make sure I'm not crippled with dead time issues. I have labbed 2 significant Rounds past 91 to make sure they wouldn't butcher me: 95 and 100. 95 has its DDTs spawn for 20 seconds straight, so PMFC has to be started well past the first DDT spawn. The timing that works would be when the first DDT gets to the starting intersection after completing the loop. Fortunately, since 95 spends so long with the junk targets before sending out the DDTs, the activation abilities should be ready in time without problem. As for Round 100, PMFC's activation wouldn't be available because of Round 99's DDTs, but I would need to make sure the PMFC is available just as the BAD pops or else the DDT children would be completely unchallenged. Mercifully, Rallying Roar PMFC would tear the BAD's contents to shreds, so that would at least be something.
