How Far Can Only Dartling Gunners Get? (BTD6)

[@notsodogninja35]

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.

[@Gaming_penguin]

Yea, I use it on harder rounds like 63, 76, 95 and 98.

[@Stint.]

Thanks furry boy

[@Ytt7um]

Syphon funding acutally makes Ben + P-spike a viable strategy even in Chimps

[@nakkila33]

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.

[@LeDoctorBones]

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.

[@patrickkujawski2511]

By the way with ben, he levels first them he generates the end of round cash, so buying levels on Ben is never worth it

[@the_downloader]

True that, went out of my way to check the money as he leveled up with more cash generation

[@MC_Champion_]

If you’re just doing a level that’s gonna complete that round then no, but it can definitely be worth it. If you buy several rounds worth of leveling then you are always making net profit.

[@frozenbonkchoy4986]

@@MC_Champion_depends on specific level. Getting a cyber security boost is basically never worth from Ben leveling

[@darianjenkins2630]

If it’s level 11 I would say it’s worth it, since is boosts his income generation to 1000$ a round.

[@Zeqt_x]

If it costs less to buy the skimming upgrade than the amount you would get from skimming a round, then it's worth it.

[@luminescentgem7254]

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

[@literallylegendary]

Can't wait until the community finds the optimal wiggle method

[@calebnovick5561]

Love your vids, Mackan. Sad to see Lucifer’s Sanctum go, but nice that you have more time for personal life and vids like this.

[@MackanRules]

Thank you!

[@watsonjunior85]

5:11 it wasn't worth it, you only get the generated cash next round and you get the xp before the game calculate the cash so you'd get $1000 anyway

[@Rocket_Gunner7414]

HELL YEAH MIDDLE PATH DARTLING USAGE

[@MC_Champion_]

Nice

[@Tighnaristolemypity1144]

It’s the most used path I think

@@dispurb ok so?

[@tpfoxCastro]

MAD with bottom crosspath? On a big map like this one? The abilities projectiles will just fly every where and barely hit anything!

[@josh-gu6zi]

That's a lot of darts

[@LOSTHOPEES]

Sure is

[@Craigalicioususa]

9:52 "Wow that is a lot of..... BADs" I thought you were going to say plasma 😂 cause damn that was a lot of plasma

[@apollosarrow9885]

With the amount of individual hits proccing, Ben’s level 3 ability giving a flat damage buff might have been able to push it an extra round or two! Either way, love this series!

[@AchillesProductions.-]

I was thinking the same thing if you time it so it just gets the bad low before it stuns the towers it would have pushed it a little further for sure.

[@whatisthishandlefor]

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)

[@murphyduck]

I would love to see Spacktory only next

[@snowdrop9810]

syphon funding is only good for weakening waves. Especially 63, 76, and 78 waves, along with even R98. (lowering the Zomg's to bfbs and moabs makes it trivial)

[@03luigi14]

NK should add targeting to ben's trojan and have one of the options be none, making it so he doesn't use it

[@tpfoxCastro]

That would be a big buff and Ben is already pretty good

[@DeArcher9000]

Village only? 😂

[@MC_Champion_]

Prob just Corvus + primary expertise + middle paths for homeland micro. I wonder how far that would get

[@Kitten479]

Syphon funding plus 1-0-4 alch and XXXLtrap is crazy good lol same trio for pirate lord it just makes so much money

[@luminescentgem7254]

How does it work?

[@Kitten479]

@luminescentgem7254 at lv20 bens 3x makes even bfbs turned from ZOMGs give 3x money and if you get an alch now it's 5x

[@konradbavnerlorentzi7021]

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.

[@AngryBananaVR]

I only ever use siphon funding for dense bloon rounds like 76, and sometimes if Ben is low enough level not to get the BFBs, I’ll use it on 79 for all of those regrow rainbows.

[@Leoffta]

I use Ben's Siphon in some half cash maps, to turn round 80 ZOMG to BFB to hook with monkey pirates, I also find useful to turn DDTs on Ceramics on Round 95.

[@fernandoek]

syphon funding is great! it's just not a making money kind of skill. the extra money it gets is just to offset the money lost (and you still lose most of the time)

[@lool8421]

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

[@jbagga3]

I only use the ben ability on round 79, you can get a some money from downgrading the rainbows as they spawn and then get extra money from them... But it's still not a lot

[@hazard2366]

syphon is great against ceramics so we they downgrade to rainbows. you get no loss in layers popped, don't have to crack the ceram layer, and get more money

[@Pajon03]

should have put the t4s around the track, and lock some on the straight lines, so there are puddles everywhere all the time, I think that should do a lot better

[@pencilpenguin8798]

I think it would be cool if you did a challenge seeing how far you can get on the hardest map in the game in your opinion

[@DZ-DizzyDumm]

Trojan hate is so weird bc sometimes it can make rounds like ten times easier

[@tpfoxCastro]

You can just place a dartling on each corner and lock them in place to make infinite puddles

[@sonicmeerkat]

i guess if you look at ben as a support hero isntead of a purely farming hero then his abilities are actually pretty nice, preventing insides from spawning passively can be nice. sure another hero would be able to outright kill the insides but you get some bonus cash on top so he is pretty busted for brainless medal grinding.

[@Дайяшки]

You also can ask someone to help you in co-op to have other heroes you need/want to have

[@jellyfisch4238]

Bens ability is good for high ceramic rounds like 63 and 76 cause rainbows and cerams make the same amount of money i think but you get double with ben

[@Franklin_Johanessan]

I use ben's ability on 63, 76 and 78 on the cerams, and on 98 if needed

[@nightflash5951]

Trojan is losing money on normal modes? It purely loses in chimps but other modes there's cash generation when the target is destroyed. Also, I very rarely play with Benjamin but the syphon is nice for ceramic waves to nullify them.

A full Moab gives much more cash than a trojan Moab.
