Popseidon Does RIDICULOUS Damage! (5th Tier Mermonkey In Bloons TD 6) (2024)

And thing is, this isn't even its final form!

14:08 if u think the target position is ugly wait untill you see the focus camo button

6:25 insane quote

One of my new favorite Tier 5s for sure. The buff synergy is incredible, for both its main attack and it’s ability. I had Popseidon + Alch Buff + Overclock + Call To Arms + Brickell, and 98 was melted in three seconds with one Ice Jet. Plus, it’s freaking Poseidon.

in terms of crosspathing, I’d say the seeking is significant since T3+ does actually have a good amount of pierce, and the waves also seek.

really happy to see ninja kiwi with these almost experimental new towers, they really add a lot of depth to the game

Remember energizer reduces the ability cd by 50%

I really wish they would include a little text that tells your the stat changes of upgrades. Something like (+1d, +2p, +2r, -0.05s/atk)

The 0-1-0 seemed to be able to one shot green balloons that were clumped together while only doing 2 damage. Wonder why that is.

I think it's obvious for this tower, but from what I understand about this tower because I'm just trying it: 2-5-0 Is better for straight lines like Cubism, and 0-5-2 is MUCH better for everything else. It can get intrinsic camo and seeking so it can make more use of the Trident's waves.
Yes, 2-5-0 does give more attack speed, but I feel like the seeking is more important.

Now they have to change the name of a statue prop in Bloons Pop

white bloons should be immune to attacks from tier 2 middle path just to make the interaction feel more strategic. it’ll likely not come up often enough to stunt it’s power much but i think it’s a decent trade off especially considering enough things can’t hit purple already

I like that this tower acts as an indirect buff to Brickell, as well as water towers in general

14:02 they also updated the camo targeting icon to look like something straight out of btd4

I feel like the tier 3 and 4 is kinda underpowered, but the tier 5 is busted
also 052 is prob better lol

The 0-5-2 crosspath is definetely better in all occasions. Most of the increasing pierce of the waves is gone when they don't seek the bloons. The attack speed buff is less useful when homing shots can enable all the pierce especially with the triple shot of Popseidon. Also putting him on straight lines is actually bad, because the tridents can get pierce capped before the wave gets bigger and increases in its pierce. It's better to put him perpendicular to a line so the wave doesn't get insta pierce capped, grows in size and then seeks back

I like this tower. It feels like a chimera of a lot of different things. The reverse snowstorm allowing water towers to go on land, the juggernaut balls from the middle path, the the village like buffs of the bottom path. It feels very unique but familiar at the same time.

Probably depends on the map for which crosspath is better. The right curves maximizes those trident explosions.
Also if someone is trying to avoid using a MIB for some reason, only 0-4-1, 0-4-2, 0-5-1, 0-5-2, and 0-0-5 can do anything to DDTs. And the bottom path isn't made for popping stuff anyway.

The video has just released and I already know it'll be worth a watch

I've already watched this 1 mermillion times and confirm this is a certified ISAB classic

One cool thing to note about popsideon's ability is while it does time out when when the round ends I noticed that the balls won't time out while the round is active so if you use it immediately the balls stay active until the round ends. Idk if this was a glitch in my game but I had 10 stacks with ultra boost on it and permabrew buff if anyone else wants to try it.

Instantly one of my fav t5 tower. it's so satisfying to stack attack speed on middle path and watch those waves go brrrrrrr

i did end up figuring out how to do a mermonkey start for my chimps run on luminous cove. I placed it a little off center toward the right below the track ended up upgrading it to 201 before buying a 102 sniper for any stray bloons. I then saved up for brickell and a 2nd mermonkey and it was smooth sailing from there.

hey isab i really love ur vids, its a great background video for when i'm playing bloons myself, i can even absorb some knowledge as well bc im a total noob. anyways tysm for the vids, love ya

Love your vids man, keep up the good work

1:40
i put the offer out
I don’t wanna chase you down
I know see it
You run with me
And i can set you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something coloorful
And if it’s crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see
Don’t you wanna get away
From the same old part you gotta play?
‘Cause I got what you need
So come with me and and take the ride
It’ll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side

It’s so fun to use, seeing the waves and ice balls crash everywhere is beautiful

oh damn, everybody say this tower is garbage so ninja kiwi doesn’t bring out the huge nerf gun…

This has to be my fav strat, The tier 4 mid path witht he tier 4 bottom path is already enough to save up to Poseidon with a decent hero and you can save A LOT

The "power" is actually how long the waves that split from the trident last, so the bigger the wave gets on the trident the farther the secondary waves will last/go, it's not actually referring to damage.

I find it crazy that with top path Mermonkey allowing for more water, making water strats wildly more consistent they massively buffed Pirate Lord, I've yet to see much focus put on it but it feels so darn strong. Basically double the hooks and a shorter cooldown (went from 45->40)

“With all those balls bouncing around.. oh my god” 🤨📸

Ur vids really make my day better!

from my testing on sandbox the bottom crosspath is actually better dps wise than top path for popseidon, maybe because popseidon shoots 3 tridents in an arc and the side tridents miss the majority of bloons without seeking. this was without buffs and on monkey meadow though, so results may vary especially on maps with lots of obstacles to make the crashing waves and ice balls more effective.

Homing is pretty neat for the triple tridents though

0-5-2 mermonkey is 100% one of my fav towers. It was able to make it to round 188 on logs on easy mode and i honestly could‘ve squeezed out maybe 1 or 2 more rounds with better macro (but ew, good macro?!)
Here is the setup: Ultra boost + Brickell + Call to arms + Carrier Flagship + Lord of the Abyss + Support Sun temple + energizer + perma brew

"this round is so dense, but with all those balls bouncing around omg we just beat it in like 5 seconds"

The mermonkey and brickell synergy is crazy op and don't forget that top path tier buffs brickell as well

The Mermonkey's reticle UI is different because it also has a cancel button to reset it to default

Popsiden looks good, ima try it soon

502 Boomer and 205 Mermonkey can 2TC and it MAY also be able to 2 Megapops at the same time (i was around 60-70k pops away from 2 Megapops)

They need to buff xp gain, beast handler was forgotten since you had to use a bad tower to max it out and it seems that this cool tower may have the same fate

Just wanted to add that the seeking from bottompath makes the extra shots pretty much follow the main attack and is definitely stronger than top path.

Popseidon goes crazy on cornfield and sulfur springs

Can't wait for the super buffed popsidon video coming in 2026

I think bottom crosspath is better to fully utilise the pierce. It already fires really fast. Also range is really good (because damn this thing lacks range)

I still havent even unlocksd the fella. Upside is however that getting pops motivated me to finally unlock xp on the beast handler

Call to arms boosted popseidon looks beautiful

The difference between the targets are one of them is auto target/self target(mermonk) and the other is set target(overclock)

Man I gotta say, from ISAB's initial video on the Mermonkey, the Popseidon felt like it didn't do much, not only did it feel not powerful enough for its price, it felt greatly weak even if it was cheaper. I don't know if I was sleepy or not while watching that video, but my whole view on this tower coming into this video was "Okay, let's see what this overly expensive icicle impale without the stun can do" and it really messed with me, because I just saw it wipe out round 111 with typical buffs. So yeah, what an ability (that's totally not getting nerfed next patch).

8:04 "you get 6 to 9, which is nice, but at the same time not nice"

Popseidon's so good that I did a 2TC using it with middle path sniper lmao

The camo targeting priority button looks even weirder than the new custom targeting button.

Thank you isab for beating the black boarder with your high dps per second….

I think the ability should have Waves crash on the screen from the left and right border to make it more obvious that the ability was used

If they ever make a paragon for this it's going to be awesome

ISAB saving me to fall asleep yet again 🎉

Hey I've check a suspicion of mine.
Each tentacle is independent. And each has their own cooldown. And each can only attack straight in front of them.
This mean that the tentacles arnt bound to attack speed. If a bloon goes around the top path mer monkey they will get every tentacles to atta k them. Allawyas. Tentacles have no atta k speed limit in between each other.
Second thing, is that you loose half of your potential dps by not having the mermonkey surrounded in track. Since some of the tentacles wouldn't be able to attack at all.
You can test this by placing him 300 on resort loop. And send 2 round 100 ceramics. Fairly fast. One will trigger all tentacles and get destroy. The other will take one or two tridents and go through before tentacles grow back.

Hello, i just got instantly notificated, and by everything i see from this tier 5 from mermonkey, he really have much dmg

Thank you ISAB for popping the bloons with the mermonkey.

Seeing Popseidon without seeking is like seeing top path Ninja without seeking

502 boom and 004 mermonkey with target on boom goes crazy

Id say seeking is better because it goes over walls and increased pierce and the waves will typically hit way more often because of that so more damage overall plus tier 5 gets the two extra tridents that don't really hit anything unless they are extremely close to the monkey (the middle path gives more pierce at tier 3 and above is what im talking about)

The ability annihilates moab class bloons for some reason despite the balls only doing 1 damage to bloons. Attack speed buffs also makes the ability even better.

Easiest cornfield no harvest chimps run of my life

can't wait to see a buggy mod of the 5-5-5 mermonke

I just realized btd got the three big Greek gods now

The ability is literally
Apex Plasma Master at home

Bro is glazing the submarine

Worst part is the mermonkey was just out of range from the reactor the whole time so no cooldown reduction 😢

I feel like Pat Fusty has his time to shine if you combine popseidon + pat's ability

The ability is legit rico's ultimate in brawl stars

The multiple projectiles from popsidon seems to make the seeking Path worth something?

funny thing, you can 2tc with popseidon and pirate lord (both being 0,5,2) pretty easily

I like the bottom path Mermonkey the best. Some great utility

here’s a possible challenge idea: Fire and Ice challenge! So only towers that either have an element of freeze/ice or burning/fire effect. I’m sure u can pinpoint all the towers that fit the criteria, including the path shown in this video! There’s a bunch of maps u could do it on but if u really want a challenge u could do it on Infernal for the red and blue effect 😎

the balls have 240 pierce each
very nice ability

new pggy album was amazing

I found a 2tc with middle path mermonkey and sauda on resort

Popseidon goes nuts when god buffed

epic fatboy slim reference

Now the challenge where you need to use ability towers without their abilities will be much easier 😅

1:07 crazy that they added brawlstars to btd6 (Rico super)

Honestly i think that the 052 is the better crosspath if you buff it. I did a water only dark castles CHIMPS run and 052 with all the 002 buff stacks does so much better. Alch buff and Striker Jones helped out on the pierce issue. Without the seeking, getting max trident size and getting it to land near bloons is the issue

Mermonkey is probably my new favorite tower. I love middle and bottom path tier 5s for different reasons!

You can get the Mermonkey start on this map to work, though yea sub obviously easier ofc

This mod looks so realistic

14:15 they also changed the camo priority icon

The upgrades page should really show some actual information. I’d be fine with the upgrade hover or the info button having some interesting flavor text if *something* in game tells you real information.

This map will be interesting to try without using water

14:20 They also changed the prioritize camo button!

So what I'm taking away frim this is that the top path Mermonkey would be insane in the range of rapid-fire towers like the Elite Dumbfender and the bottom path Mermonkey would go completely stupid in every single stall strategy, especially because they boost each other's range and every siren can trap bloons independently. As long as you can guarantee lead detection, being surrounded by a bunch of sirens and enough abyssal knights to spread the buff, this tower will take matters into its own hands.

tower really id strong. I only had 1 each tier 4s up in coop. (going to take awhile to get all 5 tiers) and I carried half of the bloons my team keeps missing. for the last 30 waves on impopable.

052 poseidon is a lot better, as the seeking makes the t-blasts insanely powerful.

ISAB, I hope you see this, try the Final Harmonic with the Doorgunner MK, it's hilarious and so strong - Use the doorgunner ability to pick up the Harmonic Totem

Better use it now before the infinite pierce of the ice balls is nerfed away

Gotta be my fav tier 5

11:43 hey its me at home

very cool
