Benjamin is a top tier Hero, despite not attacking Bloons directly he is capable of efficient early game income generation and bonus damage to low damage towers through his Biohack ability. However, Biohack's forced downtime can cause rushes to sneak past if careless with the ability. Syphon Funding is solid at countering both early ZOMGs and most tight rushes. Trojan can assist against early MOABs, but shouldn't be relied on. | Benjamin is a top tier Hero, despite not attacking Bloons directly he is capable of efficient early game income generation and bonus damage to low damage towers through his Biohack ability.

Placing Ben shouldn't matter too much, but preferably close to the towers you'd want to prioritize Biohack on and away from potential Farm spots.<!--btw, for every BTDB2 hero we should state where to place heroes; ben is easy to explain 'cos he's simple to find optimal placement, unlike dj which needs more than 1 sentence--> | Placing Ben shouldn't matter too much, but preferably close to the towers you'd want to prioritize Biohack on and away from potential Farm spots.<!--btw, for every BTDB2 hero we should state where to place heroes; ben is easy to explain 'cos he's simple to find optimal placement, unlike dj which needs more than 1 sentence--> | ||
Benjamin can support a variety of strategies, including Farm and eco strategies, provided a good early-game tower is present. | Benjamin can support a variety of strategies, including Farm and eco strategies, provided a good early-game tower is present. With Banana Farm, the Marketplace crosspath is preferred over the Plantation crosspath in almost every case, incluind Monkey Wall Street, which should be gotten after the Monkeynomics. | ||
