How to Beat the Vortex Boss in BTD 6
As I have mentioned before, Vortex is the fastest Boss in BTD 6. To beat it, you will need need to be efficient with your Farming. Like any Boss Battle, Farming is Key. The more money you can obtain from the early game, the better your chances to beat Vortex. It is relatively faster than other Boss Bloons. Not only that, but Vortex also speeds up the Bloons & MOABS that were naturally spawned by 2.5x. Its Skull ability will stun all nearby Monkeys as well as spawn some Children Bloons. This Stun will also trigger every 5 seconds. All towers will be stunned including non-damaging Towers like Banana Farms. Also, all entities placed on the path, except for the ones placed by Heroes or Powers, will be removed. As such, the best towers to deal with the Vortex are the ones with a global range like Snipers & Dartling Gunner.
So Monkeys like the Dartling Gunner, specifically the M.A.D., & Sniper Monkey, specifically the Elite Defender, will be your choice of towers. Till round 39, you should concentrate on getting a lot of Money through Farming. Once the first Vortex arrives, place an Elite Defender at the side and sell it off once you have defeated Vortex Tier 1. The strat is similar for Tier 2 as well but you will another tower-like Ninja Master Bomber. For Tiers 3, 4, & 5, you will need Paragons. The Apex Plasma Master is the easiest one to get and can be bought for Tier 3 & Tier 4. For Tier 5, you will want to buy everything you can from a Vengeful True Sun God, Navarch of the Seas, Apex Plasma Master, The Legend of the Night, etc. This is how you will be able to beat Vortex in BTD 6.
