*Compared to [[Primary Only]], ~~camos~~ and leads are a lot less of a threat.

*Compared to [[Primary Only]], Camos and leads are a lot less of a threat. However, due to the increased number of rounds, the player cannot leak all Camos and still win, unlike in Primary Only.

**[[Submerge and Support (BTD6)|Submerge and Support]] and [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]] can strip ~~camos~~, and every tower has an easily affordable upgrade that grants it ~~camo~~ detection.

**[[Submerge and Support (BTD6)|Submerge and Support]] and [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]] can strip Camos, and every tower has an easily affordable upgrade that grants it Camo detection.

**The easiest way to deal with leads is [[Full Metal Jacket (BTD6)|Full Metal Jacket]], a cheap upgrade that deals enough damage to pop them in one hit. Buccaneers and Subs can also pop lead with [[Hot Shot (BTD6)|Hot Shot]] and [[Heat-tipped Darts (BTD6)|Heat-tipped Darts]]. If you need to pop ~~camo~~ leads and do not have any towers to strip ~~camo~~, upgrade a Sniper Monkey to Full Metal Jacket and [[Night Vision Goggles (BTD6)|Night Vision Goggles]].

{{Strategy needed|Two thirds of this list is water towers, need more examples of non-water towers for maps without water.}}

|All 3 top-path boats are solid options in their own right, and transition well between upgrades. Destroyer is best with the 3-2-0 crosspath, and is one of the strongest towers for the early mid-game, even without [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]. Aircraft Carrier is a solid all-around mid-game tower that does well against blimps and Ceramics alike, and Carrier Flagship effectively guarantees victory. They can be crosspathed either way, with 4/5-0-2 being preferred on maps where the main attack fares poorly and 4/5-2-0 performing better otherwise. If using the 3/4/5-2-0 crosspath, obtain Camo detection elsewhere.

|Armor Piercing Darts can help take down MOABs quickly. Ones placed closer to the track should use [[Heat-tipped Darts (BTD6)|Heat-tipped Darts]] to take care of leads and deal a bit more damage, while ones farther away should use [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|Advanced Intel]] to be able to attack from a distance. Once upgraded it to a Sub Commander, place even more Armor Piercing Darts nearby. This strategy works best on maps with ~~a lot~~ of water and ~~when~~ Brickell is the chosen hero.

|Monkey Pirates is a cheap finisher that can one-hit kill the BFB on round 60 with its ability, and helps clean up the MOABs in earlier rounds. ~~Since the ability can reach anywhere on the map, crosspath~~ it with [[Double Shot (BTD6) (Monkey Buccaneer)|Double Shot]] unless ~~camo~~ detection is needed.

Set it on Strong so it does not waste its power on weaker targets. Crosspath it with [[~~Even Faster Firing~~ (BTD6)|~~Even Faster Firing~~]] ~~if it does not need camo detection~~.

|Maim MOAB damages and stuns MOABs for brief periods of time, allowing other towers to get more hits in. Its attack can also one-shot Ceramics, giving it some power against MOAB insides. Set it on Strong so it does not waste its power on weaker targets. Crosspath it with [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]] for stuns on multiple blimps.
