Favored Trades is less cost-efficient than {{BTD6|Merchantman}} when used for income, so it is only recommended as an upgrade after maxing out Buccaneers or once 20 Merchantmen have been bought with a {{BTD6|Trade Empire}}. However, the extra sellback from Favored Trades makes it stand out. Against [[Boss Bloon]]s, using Favored Trades to sell income-generating towers before a Boss appears is strongly recommended, as doing so grants more cash against the Boss and for future farming. The extra sellback is also beneficial when selling and rebuying towers, such as {{BTD6|MOAB Eliminator}} for instant ability resets for Boss instakills. | |||
Using multiple Favored Trades to stack bonus sellback is only more efficient for expensive setups. Every additional Favored Trades for bonus sellback becomes less valuable for profit. In most situations, using 2 sellback stacks will provide a great ratio between the cost of purchasing the boats and the sell bonus. 3 stacks are only recommended for selling very expensive towers. For selling towers located far from water, Players can also use [[Special Poperations (BTD6)|Special Poperations]] with the {{BTD6 mk|Door Gunner}} MK to carry a Favored Trades following the cursor, which provides one bonus stack in any point of the map. | Using multiple Favored Trades to stack bonus sellback is only more efficient for expensive setups.

While Favored Trades improves DPS for its darts, grapes, and {{BTD6|Hot Shot}} DoT, it still does weak damage. Not crosspathing Favored Trades is recommended in most cases for maximizing income. When damage is needed, Hot Shots is the far superior crosspath due to the higher pierce grapes and increased DoT being far superior to the benefits of {{BTD6|Double Shot|Monkey Buccaneer}}. 0-2-4 is also the recommended crosspath to farm pops which in addition to the income and the ability to cover the 100 upgrade tiers requirement with 20× 0-2-4 boats, they can provide a large amount of Paragon Power for a high degree [[Navarch of the Seas]] in the lategame. | While Favored Trades improves DPS for its darts, grapes, and {{BTD6|Hot Shot}} DoT, it still does weak damage.

Like Merchantman, the cash-based damage scaling of Favored Trades is not recommended outside of defensive usage with Trade Empire strategies. Favored Trades also receives less from discounts compared to Merchantman and has a much slower damage scale relative to its cost. | |||
