In this video I'll show you the way to speedrun tb normal mode under 16 minutes on the military base map, without the usage of expensive towers. You won't be needing any golden towers, warship, slammer, xwm or armored factory. However, this way to beat it requires heavy microing on the last few waves.
This strategy lets you beat the mode in under 16 minutes, and in 10 minutes with 50% speed!
That way it lets you earn over 750 tokens per hour, and with 50% speed all the way, over 1100 tokens!
The loadout consists of john, farm, shotgunner, edj, operator and juggernaut.
Enjoy!
