{{main strategy}}
{{main strategy}}For its price, the Buccaneer has large [[range]] and high [[pierce]]. It is held back by only being placeable on water. Not every map has good water availability for the Buccaneer, but for those that do, it can be a highly effective tower.
 
* Unliked its [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD5)|incarnation]] in [[Bloons TD 5|BTD5]], this version of the Buccaneer can shoot from both sides at once. Try to place them between two different parts of the track so that it can take full advantage of this.
* The first path of the Buccaneer features the rapidly-attacking [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]], useful against regular Bloons and a good help against early [[MOAB|MOABs]]. Later upgrades summon miniature Aces that strafe across the whole map. The [[Carrier Flagship (BTD6)|Carrier Flagship]] also features two platforms where landbound [[Towers]] can be placed.
* Path 2 offers an alternative method of damage, adding a powerful [[Cannon Ship (BTD6)|cannon]]. [[Monkey Pirates (BTD6)|The fourth-tier upgrade]] gives the Buccaneer a [[Activated Ability|hook]] that allows it to instantly kill a [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]] or [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]], and the [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|final upgrade]] can shoot several hooks at once!
* Path 3 is entirely focused around generating income, with [[Merchantman (BTD6)|Merchantman]] and its later upgrades generating a lump sum of [[cash]] at the end of every round. The [[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]] tower also has the unique niche of increasing the sell value of towers in its range.
