'''Merchantman''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It generates $200 at the end of each [[round]] automatically ($220 with {{BTD6 mk|Trade Agreements}})~~. It gains +10% cash production per~~ [[Central Market (BTD6)|Central Market]] (up to +100%). Additionally, ~~its~~ base damage is increased by ×2 if the player's cash is at least $10,000; in [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], only the owner's cash determines the damage buff of the Merchantman.

If buffed by [[Trade Empire (BTD6)|Trade Empire]], it gains +$10 cash production per Merchantman (stacking up to 20 times in total), +1 [[damage]], +1 [[Ceramic damage]], and +1 [[MOAB damage]] to all attacks. ~~If there are~~ [[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]] on screen, ~~Trade Empire will prioritize buffs to these towers first, which have stronger cash production~~.

Line 31:

Crosspaths with [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]] and [[Hot Shot (BTD6)|Hot Shot]] can be added if extra DPS and/or lead-popping are required. However, it's preferable not to crosspath Merchantman if its only purpose is income. The [[Faster Shooting (BTD6) (Monkey Buccaneer)|Faster Shooting]] and [[Double Shot (BTD6) (Monkey Buccaneer)|Double Shot]] crosspaths are inferior compared to the higher-pierce grapes.

Outside of snowballing income, the cash-based damage boost is ~~pretty bad for the cost~~ and ~~shouldn't be used unless defensively using it in~~ a Trade Empire strategy. For a similar cost, other options that are more buffable, such as [[Cannon Ship (BTD6)|Cannon Ship]] are preferred.

Outside of snowballing income, the cash-based damage boost is poor, and its damage boosts are irrelevant outside of a Trade Empire strategy. For a similar cost, other options that are more buffable, such as [[Cannon Ship (BTD6)|Cannon Ship]], are preferred.
