Ben's Syphon Funding ability can be situationally useful on rounds like 98. You go from taking down ZOMGs and Fortified BFBs to just normal BFB's and Fortified MOABs. It ain't no Ezili, but removing over 75% of the RBE is pretty useful lategame.

The accuracy path for the MAD isn't taken for the main attack's accuracy, but for the ability since it has crazy high spread otherwise.

I've always thought of siphon funding as an offensive tool, rather than economic. It's nice to use if your defense is still weak on r63, 76, 78 etc.
@luminescentgem725426 күн бұрын
I think placing these accelerators outside of the square would have been better, you just get more track for each laser. Also, when you make a drastic mouse movement and the lasers all turn around, it makes an interesting amount of plasma pools, as is apparent from the lag. Maybe it would be a useful tech. And finally, locking a few lasers on an axis, just like the ray of doom, could have guaranteed plasma pools on some strategic placements

ben's ability is not worth on the plasma accelerator as thw downtime actually loses a lot of dmg. the trojan gives only 50 dmg more per dartling,(after all calcs) at the cost of 2 seconds of no dps at all (unless ur using when theres only bads then it would be worth)

Not sure if you’ll ever read this but I started thinking about ways to buff siphon funding and the way I would probably do it is increasing the money multiplier on LV 10 to 3x and LV 20 to 5x this would still make you lose money on rounds with mainly moabs as moabs would be worth 25% less of their value while bloons would be worth 50-200% more depending on if they split or not. Until you reach LV 20 when bloons would be worth 5x as much and moabs 20% more. I started researching how this could this could work on sandbox and challenge editor I found something very interesting cause siphon founding isn’t actually as bad as people think it’s in fact much worse. Cause while it works like intended if a bloon gets downgraded to a non moab class bloon it works as intended but BFB’s and ZOMG’s that gets downgraded to moab class bloons don’t get money multiplier applied meaning instead of loosing 50% or 25% of your money currently depending on your Level it actually looses 75% of money from those bloons regardless of level. Even with fixing this glitch and adding my buffs siphon founding would never be great money maker but it wouldn’t lose you the crazy amount of money that it does now.

considering that pops only make x0.02 money past r120, it might actually be better to let ben put trojan on moabs normally a moab gives 1+4+8+16+32+64*5 = 381 money, but due to round penalty, it's only 7 and since ben gives more than that on a moab, it's a net positive
