Obyn is a good choice hero at multiple benefits to towers. He can make a viable choice as a first tower in the start of each game, as he only costs $650 on Hard, enough to be bought at the start of almost any game.

Obyn synergizes well with Magic towers and towers that depend on range boosts, particularly once Level 11 is reached. In addition, his totems are no longer a joke at slowing down bloons to a manageable speed. His Brambles ability is useful against early Camos, particularly camos before Round 40. Wall of Trees is good against wiping out one wave of nasty bloon rush per tree, though it is not very reliable at income or defense.

However, I’d agree that his most powerful upgrade is the Level 18 upgrade that boosts Druids of Wrath. When there are many Druids of Wrath on screen or in his range while he is Level 18+, Druids become extra powerful, probably optimising their maximum popping power.
