The first 3 steps are still good as a strategy: Get Benjamin get a farm get 2/0/0 Get another farm Get 2/2/0 Upgrade the 1st to 202 then sell it Turn the remaining farm into a bank with the money from the sellout It works pretty well and gets you a tier 3 farm by round 17; tier 3 farms earn an acceptable income, while tier 2 and below farms are awful

This is SUCH a benign way of making money... on any map where there's enough water for 10 merchant ships near the water, those are easily obtainable with Benjamin by round 30, producing enough money to get a few banks one each round then start on marketplaces. After 10 markets are down pop them all to Central markets then the merchants to favoured trades ships. By round 60 you're making roughly 30k/round.

It's much worse. Trig actually makes sense. I wish Hbomb would make a video explaining why he's doing what he's doing.

[@Voduke789]

I use a little known farming strategy that can get me a Dark Champion on round 60. I keep building 2-0-0 Farms until the space fills up, and I micro. This is super efficient. Then I keep transforming my 2-0-0s into 3-2-0s until it's full, and micro. If I go for Paragons I make all of them 4-0-0s and one of them a Central. After that I sacrifice like 8 4-0-0s into the monkey village, and replace them. I get roughly 150k per round post round 100-120.

Hey, you should do a video on glue stacking! It's common knowledge that the three different glue types don't stack on a single bloon in BTD6, but the glue strike and glue storm debuffs _technically_ can be used at the same time top and bottom path glue. I say "technically" because there's a lot of weird (possibly unintended) behavior that comes with stacking glue, and I think it would make for an interesting video. Stuff like how glue strike can potentially cause bloon solver to completely ignore certain bloons if it's dissolve debuff wears off before glue strike, or how with moab glue a glue storm can extend the moab glue duration to last way longer than it would ever stick normally

[@gielepino7450]

What a lot of people do when there’s water on the map, is that they only go boat farming and central markets. It’s really efficient but if you go for a 2-4 brf opolis after you’ve got a trade empire, 20 merchantman and 2 central markets, you will get more money by round 60 than if you would only go for 024 farms. After the opolis you can keep spamming 024 farms

Cool strategy! Definitely going to try it sometime. I was just curious: What's the point of upgrading one of the first two farms to 202 instead of just leaving it at 200, especially if you just sell it after? The bottom path doesn't generate you any additional income, so why waste the money on it?

[@brbupdatingtheautopsyrepor8955]

A useful trick that I always use when there’s water on the map but not enough that a 004 boat can reach anywere on the map for more sellback, is I use 050 heli to do the boat into the heli (with doorgunner mk). Then I can move it around the map and get sellback anywhere

The way I farm is different but super effective even without any buffs. 1. Have a map with a wide area that can fit roughly 4X3 monkey farms. 2. Place 8 farms in a hollow square shape that surround a monkey village space in the middle. 3. Get all farms to 4-2-0 then then and upgrade the monkey village to a 2-0-5 so it absorbs everything. 4. Place a monkey wall street to the inner-middle side then surround it with 4-2-0 farms and the 2-0-5 village. This let's you cram heaps of farm profit into a much smaller area and removed any need to collect the bananas yourself. Only problem is that if you make a mistake, you have to sell some farms to try again.
