Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)/Strategies

Tips

 * Buccaneer footprint is slightly smaller at the top than the bottom. Therefore, if needing to cram as many Buccaneers as possible, start from the top and go downwards later.
 * An example can be demonstrated on Quiet Street; going from top to bottom allows up to 21 to be adequately placed, but going the other way only fits around 19.

Strategies
Monkey Buccaneer can either be used to make money or be a naval unit to stop all incoming bloons.

Path 1 (Top Path)

When going top path, you should always crosspath 32x+ as the grapes are affected by double shot, meaning 10 grapes + 2 darts per shot.

Grapes + darts only do 1 damage, meaning 4xx or 3xx do +2 and +1 damage respectively, basically doubling and tripling the DPS of destroyer. Grapes in general when alch buffed are great as they have 10 projectiles per shot, meaning +1 damage does +10 per shot effectively, unlike with towers that shoot 1 projectile like dart monkey, which only get +1 damage per shot.

Good synergies are towers like: Brickell (Naval tactics is 2x attack speed when lvl 3), Camo village / Reactor (For camo detection, and 32x+ don't have camo detection).

Embrittlement and glue strike for the extra damage is always helpful, effectively tripling the dps, when combined with Brickell lvl 3 causes the damage to skyrocket.

Path 2 (Middle Path)

Cannon ship is great for dealing with grouped, and t4+ have three cannons. The ablity is a reliable way to deal with 40 and 60, making it great medium and below, as the bfb and moabs can be one shot. 5k is savable in these modes. However, they fall off in the late game, due to the overwhelming number of moab classes in general, mostly zomgs. Pirate lord is still effective in the late game though, as with camo detection, can deal with insides and ddts.

Path 3 (Bottom Path):

While farms are, in my opinion, better for making money, buccaneers can give good amounts of cash. (note this will take a bit of time to do) Ideally you want to get as many favored trades as possible as they give 500$ per round, so if you could get 6 that's $3000 per round, and if you manged to get ten you get $5000 every round. From then try to get trade empire on one, and just farm up more favored trades from that piont.
