Commanding powers of nature, Obyn can shoot through solid obstacles with his spirit wolf attack.
~ Bloons TD Battles 2

Obyn Greenfoot is a Hero in the game Bloons TD Battles 2. He specializes in nature-based attacks and weapons.

He was part of the initial release of Bloons TD Battles 2 (alongside Quincy, Gwendolin and Striker Jones).

His main attack launches "spirit wolves" at Bloons. This attack homes in on Bloons, can travel through objects, and pierces up to 4 bloons before disappearing, initially dealing 2 damage every time it hits a bloon. He is capable of popping Lead Bloons, but he cannot pop Camo Bloons or pop Purple Bloons outside of his abilities. Both of his abilities, Brambles and Wall of Trees, place road items based on Obyn's targeting option; if no bloons are nearby, they will be placed randomly. In addition, starting at level 4, Obyn will place totems every 18s that slow down bloons randomly around nearby track within range.

Obyn Greenfoot additionally comes with sets of local-ranged buffs towards mostly Druids. Starting at level 2, he grants all nearby Druids with +1 pierce. Starting at level 11, he grants all nearby Magic Monkeys +2 pierce and +5 range, on top of any other buffs, in turn buffing Druids to +3 pierce, instead of +2. Starting at level 18, his final buff allows all Druids of Wrath to immediately start with full wrath for maximum attack speed.

He costs $650 to place in-game. To unlock him, he requires a one-off purchase of BloonjaminsIcon3000.

Hero Alts[]

Ocean Guardian[]

Ocean Guardian is a Hero Alt of Obyn Greenfoot in Bloons TD Battles 2. Instead of being a pure reskin of a hero, Ocean Guardian offers a variety of sidegrades compared to the original Obyn Greenfoot, offering a different playstyle. Unlike in the game Bloons TD 6, Ocean Guardian buffs all Magic Monkeys across all levels instead of focusing only on Druids, and his Nature's Guardian Totem becomes an Ocean Totem, applying knockback to every 4th bloon, and more with upgrades including stunning of MOAB-class bloons. He is also amphibious in the same vein as Pat Fusty, letting him be placed on both water and land.

Ocean Guardian has two abilities. His first ability, Living Coral, slowly regenerates its pierce over time and starts with less pierce. His second ability, Krakens, doubles the number of large traps into two equal RBE capacities, and places them randomly in his range.

At Level 2, he buffs the pierce of all Magic Monkeys by +1 via Ocean's Wrath. These improve at Level 11 when he gains Ocean's Clarity, and Level 18 adds the Crystal Clarity which increases attack speed of all Magic Monkeys by +11% (0.90x attack cooldown multiplier).

He costs $650 to place in-game.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

TBA

Tips[]

  • Spam Obyn's bramble ability since it does not disappear when you use it again. This also helps accumulate more stockpiles and also deal a chunk of damage too.
  • Put Obyn in front of the map to get extra money from his ability wall of trees. This will give you a big advantage for attacking and defending.
  • Using Obyn Greenfoot is usually advised if you are doing the (rather risky) ninja start strategy, or if Super Monkeys are your primary lategame defense, as slowing down bloons is usually more useful than knocking them back. This means that if you are using Druids or non-magic monkeys as your main defense, Obyn Greenfoot outclasses Ocean Obyn.
  • Obyn's brambles can be used for Moab damage as it's stationary, Moabs that pass by it will take a lot of damage make sure to put it in a location where regular bloons can't it hit so it's pierce won't be reduced.

Version History[]

Normal Obyn (Version History)[]

Since release, Obyn has been one of the most popular and strongest heros in the game, and continue to be even after several nerfs. This is largely in part to his abilities, with Brambles being a great failsafe when stockpiled and his Wall of Trees being among the best ways to deal with early DDTs for absolutely no price at all. In fact, his Wall of Trees is so strong that it has carried him into loadouts that don't use druid, and has made him into one of the most versatile heros in the game. Comps that utilize him vary based on the meta he is in, as he can be used in just about any loadout, especially Druid or Dartling.

Initial Release (Compared to BTD6 28.0)
  • BUFF [bug] Obyn at Level 20 can suck BAD bloons with Wall of Trees if BADs have low enough health
  • BUFF Obyn's leveling speed has been increased to match competitive play.
  • Change Obyn's Nature's Ward Totem is locked on Close instead of Normal.
1.0.6
  • NERF [bug fix] Fixed bug that allowed Wall of Trees to suck up BADs
1.1.0
  • BUFF Leveling speed for all heroes increased (including Obyn Greenfoot)
1.2.0
  • NERF Level 10 Wall of Trees hold less RBE (3,000 → 2,500) (level 20 remains unchanged at 5000)
1.3.0
  • NERF Level 10 ability cash bonus decreased (2x → 1.5x)
  • Change Brambles lifespan remains at 120s, while Living Coral lifespan decreased.
1.5.0
  • NERF Level 10 Wall of Trees hold less RBE (2,500 → 2,000) (level 20 remains unchanged at 5000)
  • NERF Nature's ward totem slow effect reduced and has less range (Level 4 Nature's ward totem slow effect reduced 30% → 25% and range reduced 32 → 28)
  • NERF Level 8 Nature's ward totem slow effect reduced (40% → 35%)
  • NERF Level 15 Nature's ward totem slow effect reduced and has less range reduced (60% → 50%) and range reduced (40 → 34)
1.6.0
  • NERF Level 3 Brambles duration reduced (120s → 95s)
  • NERF Level 3 Brambles pierce reduced (50 → 40)
  • NERF Level 7 Brambles pierce reduced (100 → 80)
  • NERF In-game XP requirements for all heroes has been scaled to reach level 10 slower but reach level 20 remaining approximately the same.
  • NERF [bug] Obyn's Brambles and Wall of Trees cannot be targeted on certain spots on Castle Ruins.
1.7.2
  • NERF Level 10 Obyn Greenfoot Wall of Trees ability if captured Sent bloons now worth $0 per RBE (formerly $1.5).
  • BUFF Level 10 Obyn Greenfoot Wall of Trees ability if captured Natural bloons now worth $2 per RBE (formerly $1.5).
3.1
  • BUFF Level 19: deals +2 → +4 damage
  • BUFF Level 20: Wall of Trees RBE limit 5k → 8k RBE
Due to late game ramping, Obyn’s damage is fairly negligible in the late game, and level 20 does not add much by the time you can get it.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.2.4
  • BUFF Level 9 damage 4 → 5, level 14 damage 6 → 9, level 19 damage 10 → 14
Obyn sees a decent amount of use as the most effective hero to pair with Druid, although we still believed that a small improvement was warranted.
~ Ninja Kiwi
4.0
  • BUFF Level 12: Gives all druids in range +1 damage to fortifed bloons
  • BUFF Level 17: Hero range increased 43 → 65
We wanted to give Druids some attention and chose to do this by providing Obyn with another Druid-specific buff. This buff primarily targets Poplust Druids since Avatar of Rush already deals high damage. Obyn’s range increase is also aimed at Druids, with the larger range allowing for more Druids to be buffed.
~ Ninja Kiwi
4.0.2
  • BUFF Level 12: Now gives druids +1 damage to all bloons (formerly only to fortified)
  • BUFF Level 13: Now all Druids nearby get 10% discount for Tier 5 upgrades.
Our previous change to Obyn made him give Druids in range +1 damage to fortified bloons, however we no longer think that limiting this to fortified bloons is necessary, and so we have opened this up to +1 damage to all bloons. Additionally, we have added further incentive to run Obyn and Druids with a nice price discount for tier 5 Druids at level 13.

Ocean Guardian (Version History)[]

Ocean Guardian Obyn has typically been considered to be a much weaker counterpart in comparison to regular Obyn, mainly due to his weaker abilities, particularly his Kraken. Due to it not being as strong against Fortified DDTs, he is considerably less versatile and thus relies on his buffs to Magic Monkeys in order to keep afloat. Despite this, he is relatively strong overall, providing Ninjas with much needed pierce in the early game and being valuable for his buffs later on. He finds his home in Ninja strategies such as Ninja-Alc-Heli, but also is a common choice for Dartling-Village-Super.

Initial Release
  • Change Ocean Guardian now has a new set of statistics instead of matching Obyn Greenfoot
1.0.6
  • NERF [bug fix] Fixed bug that allowed Wall of Trees to suck up BADs
1.1.0
  • BUFF Leveling speed for all heroes increased (including Ocean Guardian)
1.2.0
  • NERF Level 10 Kraken holds less RBE (1,500 → 1,250) (level 20 remains unchanged at 2500)
1.3.0
  • NERF Level 10 ability cash bonus decreased (2x → 1.5x)
  • NERF Living Coral lifespan decreased (150s → 95s).
1.5.0
  • NERF Level 10 Kraken holds less RBE (1,250 → 1,000) (level 20 remains unchanged at 2500)
1.6.0
  • NERF In-game XP requirements for all heroes has been scaled to reach level 10 slower but reach level 20 remaining approximately the same.
  • NERF [bug] Ocean Obyn's Living Coral cannot be targeted on certain spots on Castle Ruins.
1.7.2
  • NERF Level 10 Ocean Obyn Kraken ability if captured Sent bloons now worth $0 per RBE (formerly $1.5).
  • BUFF Level 10 Ocean Obyn Kraken ability if captured Natural bloons now worth $2 per RBE (formerly $1.5).
1.9.1
  • BUFF Ocean Obyn can now also be placed on water as well as land.
As mentioned above, we hope that giving Ocean Obyn the ability to be placed on water will help reduce Pat Fusty’s monopoly on the Bloon Bot Factory map, as well as giving an additional reason to use Ocean Obyn over Obyn Greenfoot.

2.1.2
  • BUFF Level 10: RBE per Kraken 1000 → 1200
  • BUFF Level 15: Nature’s Ward stuns every 4th → 3rd MOAB class
With all the recent meta changes and hero introductions, Ocean Obyn has lost a lot of the relevancy that it once had. We have decided to buff up his own strength a little, improving Kraken since it’s almost always less desired than Wall of Trees.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.1
  • BUFF Level 18: all Magic Monkeys in range attack 10% → 15% faster
  • BUFF Level 19: deals +2 → +4 damage

BUFF Level 20: Kraken RBE limit 2.5k → 4k RBE

Obyn has a pretty clear spot in the meta as being the ‘Druid specialist’ hero, however Ocean Obyn does not have as much use, since his more general magic buff is less significant than Obyn’s druid buff. So in addition to the same changes that Obyn received, we have improved Ocean Obyn’s buff to Magic Monkeys later on.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.2.4
  • BUFF Level 11: provides magic monkeys with an additional +1 → +2 pierce (+3 in total)
  • BUFF Level 9 damage 4 → 5, level 14 damage 6 → 9, level 19 damage 10 → 14
Ocean Obyn doesn’t receive as much attention as Obyn since his buffs are generalised to apply to all magic monkeys, but they are not significant enough. So we have given Ocean Obyn an improvement to one of his buffs, alongside the same changes that Obyn received.
~ Ninja Kiwi
4.0
  • BUFF Level 17: Hero range increased 43 → 65
Like with Obyn, this Ocean Obyn change is being implemented to make his buff capable of buffing a much greater number of towers now. In particular, this change is aimed at Ninja
~ Ninja Kiwi
4.0.2
  • BUFF Level 13: now gives to Magic Monkeys nearby 10% discount for Tier 5 upgrades.
Similar to Obyn, we wanted to provide more incentive to pick Ocean Obyn as the hero of choice to be paired with magic monkeys like Ninja + Alchemist.
