Ready to beat CHIMPS on the Skates map and secure the Black Border the easy way? This strategy is simple, consistent, and fully CHIMPS-legal, requiring no Monkey Knowledge, no Powers, and no RNG. With a strong Sniper core, Druid scaling, and a late-game safety net, you’ll cruise through every round with confidence.
Start the game by placing a Druid.
When you have enough money, place a Sniper Monkey.
Bring Obyn Greenfoot into the game — feel free to use his abilities to get through the early rounds faster.
Upgrade the Sniper Monkey to 0-2-2.
Place a Monkey Village and upgrade it to 2-0-2 to boost attack speed and get discounts. Use that discount to unlock the Sniper Monkey’s Semi-Automatic upgrade.
Upgrade the Sniper Monkey to Full Auto Rifle.
Upgrade the Druid to 2-4-0.
Upgrade the Sniper Monkey to Elite Defender.
As your defense handles the rounds easily, save up cash. When you have enough, place a Spike Factory and upgrade it to 2-5-0 Carpet of Spikes.
Save up again, and when you have enough cash, upgrade your Druid to Spirit of the Forest.
That’s all you need to win — feel free to spend any extra cash however you like!
With this setup, Skates CHIMPS becomes extremely stable, covering everything from fast ceramics to fortified BAD layers. The combination of Elite Defender, Spirit of the Forest, and Carpet of Spikes ensures a smooth finish with minimal micro. Follow the steps exactly, and your Black Border is guaranteed.
