*Completing every map should be first priority. If possible, do [[Bloon Beacons (BATTD)|Bloon Beacons]] on Impoppable when they refresh for more resources.

*Get the highest rarity [[Daily Quests (BATTD)|Daily Quests]] available that the player can easily achieve while clearing maps. They provide extra resources on top of the resources the player will receive from clearing maps.

*Once the player completes every map, they should prioritize farming the Bloon Beacon when possible. If possible, use the [[Big Hearted Hero]] or [[Dimension Disruptor]] round skips.

*Once the player completes every map, they should prioritize farming the Bloon Beacon when possible. If possible, use the [[Big Hearted Hero]] or [[Dimension Disruptor]] round skips, as if done properly, it will make a 10+ minute game instead only take 1 or less minutes.

*Alternatively during events that are not Joshua and Margaret, farming the events with crates are slightly more efficient per gem but take longer to clear.

*Alternatively during events that are not Joshua and Margaret's Investigations, farming the events with crates are slightly more efficient per gem but take longer to clear. Like normal Impoppable, they can be round skipped, but unlike normal impoppable, most maps will require selling [[Princess Bubblegum (BATTD)|Princess Bubblegum]] with [[Royal Promise]], all while also having Big Hearted Hero Finn set up. For more information on skip farming, see [[Strategy:Finn (BATTD)#Big Hearted Hero round skip|the Finn strategy page]].

*If after completing the Bloon Beacon, the next resource is Red, Finn Cakes, Meatballs, Bananas, Candy, Anchors, or Cosmic Essence, if the player has gems, they should keep skipping the cooldown until the resource is no longer one of these resources, for maximizing the most important resources for maxing all characters. If the player gets a prompt for doubling their rewards, they should double one of these seven resources.

*If the player has double rewards available but their bloon beacon is for one of the six resources not listed, the player can force close BATTD when the chest appears without opening it, keeping the chest rewards and not losing out on the prompt for a more desirable resource.

===Gems===

*[[Treasure Chest Keys]] makes farming Gems much more efficient, and will be utilized for farming gems for the purpose of skipping wait tiners on Bloon Beacons/Events.

*Skipping rounds in Martian Games until multiple BADs come out is recommended for gem farming, as BADs and their children provide more opportunities for gems than earlier rounds.

*Skipping rounds in Martian Games until multiple BADs come out is recommended for gem farming, as BADs and their children provide more opportunities for gems than earlier rounds. If performed successfully, backing out after 5 or so rounds of multiple BADs usually reaches the gem cap per game.

*Avoid using characters that are heavily reliant on trinket-specific attacks for damage, as they may not activate Treasure Chest Keys. A notable character is Finn utilizing the [[Missile]], as players have reported chests never dropping if the missile pops MOAB-Class Bloons.

*On Android, watching ads for gems is overall slower than farming gems through Treasure Chest Keys, but is an option starting out.

===Spending Cosmic Essence===

*Spending Cosmic Essence on Flame Princess, Ice King, Supermonkey, Sam, Sai, and C4 Charlie is not recommended, as they lack alts and because of this, they only need half the total resources as resources that can be spent on two characters. After doing enough Bloon Beacons or Events, the player will typically overflow in their resources without any compensation.

*Of the six resources that can be used on characters with alts, four of them have a somewhat consistent method of acquiring their resources in bulk.

**Finn Cakes, Meatballs, and Red can be acquired by purchasing them from the Martian Games store while the player owns [[Dungeon Finn (BATTD)|Dungeon Finn]], [[Tuxedo Jake (BATTD)|Tuxedo Jake]], or [[Hunter Marceline (BATTD)|Hunter Marceline]], respectively.

**Anchors can be consistently farmed from Joshua and Margaret's Investigations, albeit 2 per Extreme game.

*Thus, Candy and Bananas are the best resources for using Cosmic Essence on, as these two have less sources than the latter four. If not spending Crystals on resources, then Candy, Bananas, Finn Cakes, Meatballs, and Red should be prioritized.
