For boss events, this is nice, but outside those, I'm never gonna use this. It's way too complex and requires way too much microing for my taste.

This farming strat looks harder than just playing the game without farms

Glad he had the easy method at the end cause as a pretty early beginner i felt my brain slowly fizzle out as i tried to keep up with the first strat

Very cool, le’me just get this video open every time I want to do a boss

0:12 fast method 6:16 more relaxed strat

i ain't doing allat

good video in general, but after round 40 its like oddly specific. theres a lot of variation per map, restrictions etc…

I Don't know what is more insane, the level of micromanagement you have to do with your farms, or the fact that boat farming is still faster. I know that boat is always the answer, but boat farming being that fricking good is just insane.

Marketplaces generate lives and also collect themselves, this thing generates severe headache and takes too much effort for a game about monkeys popping baloons.

Wow, that's very intense and specific... Started making more sense when I noticed it was for boss events.

Me: oh boy, can't wait to use this new strat! Strat:involves monkey banks Me: nvm, i'm too lazy for this

Cant wait for the next video about ⛵ farming ! Great video Hbomb! 🙂

i play BTD really casually and enjoy watching BTD content here and there, after watching 5 minutes of this 7 minutes long video i thought this was an april fools joke or sth this is insane haha

Great video! Next time I think a lot of us would appreciate if you would introduce the easier option first and mention that you have a crazy improved version afterwards.

This is awesome, BTW, 1/0/4 alchs turning bloons gold prior to being gobbled up by bloom trap helps too! On this map specifically I had some 1/0/4alchs, 0/2/5 Engineer, 0/2/4 village at the beginning of the map. Overclock the 0/2/5 engineer so he places traps faster. IMO this weeks boss event was a blessing in disguise when it comes to farming strategies. For months it’s always been monkeyopolis or boat farming for boss events.

1: If you're not ultraboosting your farms by the mid 80s, are you even farming? 2: The tier five middle path farm is also worth getting as it makes bank with that amazing ability (pun intended) 3: This is super hands on and active. If you are going that route, isn't running IMF loans with proper depositing more efficient? 4: I think that this might be more efficient than is even really necessary for an elite boss. In which case, is it worth such a hands on approach?

and i thought farming in general wasnt that fun this takes the annoyance to the next level, but its also cool to see such strategies heard that if you finish doing this you can go study quantum physics

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.

This is insane. I love it! That being said, I wonder what the most efficient Geraldo farming route is, as that's more effective late game with the See Invisibility Potion for Monkeyopolis, Rejuv Potion for Monkeynomics, and Fertilizer for Banana Central.

I don't understand what's happening

Vid idea: Go over all the forms of alt eco in battles 2, and explain how you should use them and any other notable things. For example, heli is extremely efficient, but costs a ton and adds very little to your defence. Or mention how sniper is kinda expensive and not that efficient, but provides good defence on its own.

Me: *watches the entire video* "Hmm makes sense" Me next boss event: "I'm lazy let's just do 203 farm strat"

Great video!!! I never knew that it is possible to farm this efficiently

Ok but im too lazy

when optimised slightly better on resort, lasting with free dart monkey till round 15, etc. I managed to get my 2 farmopolis by round 30 and ended with 86k on round 40 after getting 2 extra 023 farms and a 004 buccaneer.

it's like sitting in the maths class, and the teacher talking about cos, sind and tan

I really like just having a 2/0/5 surrounded by 4/2/0's (and one 5/2/0). A bit slow to get up and running but once its up you get an insane amount of cash money mula. by the time it's up it isn't really worth it anymore though so thank you for this guide! :D

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

I'm definitely using the 2nd bank strat in all my games from now on, not the first one though... Don't get me wrong, an opolis pre-round 40 is nuts but... Not very fun if I do it every single time in normal games.

This is actually insane. Defintetly need to try this strategy for farming, Thanks man.

Nice video and a thoroughly thought out strategy. The micro and timing is a bit like higher level Gemcraft. Never thought I'd be saying that about a Bloons game.

As someone that hasn't changed my farming strat for bosses in ages, I'm glad there's a more efficient method. Thanks for breaking it down relatively easily!

Thanks for the strategy quite helpful tbh and helpful on boss events

Question: depending on the map difficulty, shouldn’t it be optimal to purchase certain levels on Ben? Skimming costs $4 a round early which seems obviously profitable, but what about getting bank hack early for this strategy? Has that been tested in regards to this strat?

In one of the boss events you can actually keep the farms (bloonarius), just get a sticky bomb ninja and a couple overdrives(or something else to handle the fortified moabs and your all set

Little correction to the strat if In coop : instead of selling the 2-0-2 farm on round 17 to buy the bank sell it at the last 2 Bloons on round 16 so you can get all of the bank ticks which adds up to over 500 dollars overall

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?

This doesn’t look like fun to me. I’m glad some of y’all can do this, but no thank you. It’s pretty awesome how versatile this game is.

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

Learnt alot, thanks for the video! I can use the tricks individually to for suitable need

one problem with this is that you gotta memorize the strat because yea its easier to do its alot of steps but its crazy that you were able to find that im surprised on how you did that

Bro defo got a doctorate degree in economics from Harvard after this one.

Cool video, but I was hoping for it to be on Impoppable or half cash because those are the ones I have an issue of balancing early game towers vs economy. If you have any vids like that I'd love a link to one

My favorite money maker is the 0-2-4 Alchemist..I like to load up my screen with them because I like the sound it makes. Also the Druid, Sniper, and Engineer. Also the Pirate ship when I can. Banana farms are to expensive and I never really need them tbh.

Great guide! Glad to see banks getting more recognition, haven't gotten the love that they deserve after their deposit nerf

Man, this is complicated! It's gonna take me months to fully understand this! *plays one game on hard* I understand now

I often get 0-3-2 banks. They share the auto-collection feature marketplaces have and generate more income per round. Marketplace's only advantage is that every $ is collected instantly while you have to wait several rounds before collecting the whole shebang.

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.

Monkeyopolis got nerfed. Even though in my opinion it is one of the worst towers already, but now it blatantly gives you less money than if you were to keep your farms.

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

I love using the 2nd strat all the time as it’s super easy to use, and it’s easy to greed if you are confident that you can survive with about 10 lives+mana shield

6:16 is when he starts talking about the easier version

It’s awesome how the boss battles have forced the community to absolutely push farming efficiency through the roof. I will say though, unless you’re playing elite ranked or with added difficulty you impose on yourself (like if you remove towers or whatever) this is so much more efficient than regular elite needs

Bro wtf. Most overly complex thing ive ever witnessed. Ill stick to my marketplaces

Personally, unless I'm doing a boss, all I do is use Ben and about 4 2-3-0 Banks (adjusting as needed for higher rounds such as 80 and 100) and it seems to get me by just fine with ending at about 3-4 T5s depending on the T5s I use

Woah, this was so much info for farming. I might try this strategy out. Turns out I underestimated banks and IMF.

Why everyone is gives crappy titles to their videos "Stop doing this!" I get frustrated with these titles, they are insulting. You don't know how I farm, but apparently you are the only one doing it right in the entire world. I partly blame youtube, because they damned near make you use click bait titles, but I'm making a new rule for myself that I'm not gonna watch vids that start by insulting everyone on the planet.

For the r40 to r60 part I wonder if it is better to go with a 3 or 4 farm village asap in many cases, I mean after the 1 farm village

Top tier respect to anyone that figured out such high level microing to get so much cash so early, absurd levels of management, good results.

As of recent light. Imf loan banks make less money than tier 3 banks, so use those

Optimal boat farming on a map like cubism makes around 3 mil by 80 if everything is sold

I spam market places then sell them for banana factories. Once I run out of space I sacrifice them to a village and get tier 5 factory overclocked. The cash gains are insane.

thank you for this because now i will still continue to use marketplaces early game and brf's late game

this is now a checkpoint for me to see how long i've been playing the game and WOW a lot has changed. might get back to the game later

Personnaly, slaping 4 farm (3-2-0) with a farmer and some fertilizer from Geraldo is my jam.

The start is even better if you get Ben in range of a vilige, the money buff effects him as well. :)

My farm strategy is different what I do is get cash boats & Ben then AFK 0:2:5 farm then surrounded it with 4:2:0 farm with MK then get 1 farm 5:2:0 after cash boat to 0:2:5 on any difficulty except half cash & impopible mode

Nice video!! This video really helped me alot. I think your very underated... Im about to go beat the boss!

Unless the boss doesn’t permit benji then the 2nd strat is going to help me a lot

Meanwhile I'm spaming 0 2 4 farms everywhere. Can you make a video showing the best towers to use earlier when farming? Like I know about the 0 0 3 engineer, the Op 0 2 0 wizzard and in some maps the 2 0 0 boomer can do well, but what about others strats to hold till round 34 - 39 maybe.

This is like that one strategy we didn't learn in the classroom but was on the test anyway.

is the overclock/upgrade tower mechanic a bug? also how much longer does the buff stay active when you do this?

Honestly my favourite farming strat is spamming 0-0-4 buccaneers and one 0-0-5 with a bunch of central markets and usually monkey wall street, can usually make 100k-200k depending on the amount of farms and buccaneers

Wish I saw this yesterday. They just ended the recent boss event, dunno when the next one is gonna come around... And the other video I was using as a tuturial wasn't very clear :/

I personally use 042 banks. as I find the manually collecting annoying. especially when I can't see the amount in the bank without moving my focus to it.

I just spam 0-2-4 and 0-2-5 (of course a single one) and just gather money that way with a 5-2-0 and 7 other 4-2-0 farms, had 2 million by round 100 so its really easy, just gotta have good placement so it all fits

what i do is i get a village and surround it with 520 farms and one farmer, then do monkeynomics and forget i cant do it twice. the rest of the map is filled with 052 banks

this is a bad way you go for ben, dart monkey to 0-2-4, and a farm bring the farm to 0-2-3 and make more 0-2-3 until you have around 40k, then sell all 0-2-3 and get plantations around a village(1-0-4) upgrade farms to research facility, and get mokeyopolis, then get a wallstreet under it and get a central to the left or right of the wallstreet as fast as possible

This is so big brained my head hurts. Can you do a video on the newly “buffed” (aka fixed) Monkeyopolis for Battles 2? 🙏🙏

I'd rather do my 32-0-3 or my 4-2-0 because I feel like this can be used for boss events but it's complicated a bit so I usually use it during boss events

I play deflations by slapping down 3 0-0-2 villages and upgrading my towers around them, then selling them and getting my hero and any Tier 4-5 upgrades.

Bruh, I just spam 2-0-0 farms and when I need to sell them I upgrade them to 2-0-2 for the extra sell value

there should be a robo-farmer mod where you place one down and it has map wide range to collect

Quick question: what is the most efficient way to farm accounting for everything?

I need to know how long it took to figure this out, and the process behind it. This is crazy.

Tbh I only use Market places on maps with scattered farming spots and when playing Lych.

"Why Everyone is Farming Wrong"... proceeds to show me how to fly to the moon

Can you do a video on THE best farming strat that maximizes hold at rd40?

I go banks with Benny, if there's lots of water I go marketplace with merchantman I never use top path

But if you spam market places on scrapyard for the lych you would get the same amount of money that you get with flavour trades

All I do for massive farming is surround monkey city with 8 or less 4-2-0 farms, then make monkeyopolis, then surround it with up to 7, 4-2-0 farms and 1, 5-2-0. Not to complicated… I also put as many 0-2-4 buccaneers as possible, and sometimes in the opposite corner of my monkeyopolis, I do 2-0-5 farm surrounded with up to 8, 4-2-0 farms And if you wanna go insane, you can do fertilizer with Geraldo, or use Benjamin in the game

My problem with punji is some of the time, some steps aren't explained thoroughly and I end up not knowing what was done and it ends up not working. I feel that sometimes it is just luck of timing and placing.

"Check out this easy farming strat.... Okay, after step 485, you should have enough money."

Skill floor has been lowered, skill ceiling has been raised! Nice vid.

but honestly. when it comes down to bosses. I typically get: all 3 farms. one single 0-2-5 one 5-2-0 one -0-5-2 and a bunch of 0-3-2's with benjamin. this way i can make all 4 paragons for bosses.

i do 020 farms, sell for 023 marketplaces, get like 5 buy central market for all 5, sell 3 for mws then make a couple factories. Then i just save for a banana central and boom, makes about 20k per round

I'm missing 275 cash on easy to get sun temple on round 40 with this start (using three imf loans)

can you do a BTDB2 best farming method? I feel like supply drop farming is the best, as you don't have to give up a precious slot just to get a farm, and sniper is probably the most versatile tower.

Im very happy about the new farming methods thanks vortex

This reminds me of one of those overly complicated methods to relieve sinus congestion that turns out to just be a troll.
