'''Favored Trades''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces the attack cooldown of the Monkey Buccaneer's attacks, increases the amount of cash generated from $200 to $500 per round ($520 with {{BTD6 mk|Trade Agreements}}), and provides a [[buff]] to itself and towers within its range which increases their [[sell]] value by 4% stacking up to 3 times for a maximum of 12% (capped at maximum of 95% of their cost). If buffed by [[Trade Empire (BTD6)|Trade Empire]], it gains +$20 cash production per Favored Trades (stacking up to 20 times in total), +1 [[damage]], +1 [[Ceramic damage]], and +1 [[MOAB damage]] to all attacks. Favored Trades are prioritized by Trade Empire's buffs before any [[Merchantman (BTD6)|Merchantmen]], which have weaker cash production.

Additionally, its damage is increased by +1 if the player's cash is $10,001–$50,000, or +2 damage at over $50,000; in [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], only the owner's cash determines the damage buff of the Favored Trades.

Darts have a cooldown of 0.5 seconds. If given [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]], the attack cooldown for the grapes are reduced from 1.3s to 0.75s. [[Hot Shot (BTD6)|Hot Shot]]'s burn damage is improved from 2 to 4.

As a source of income, Favored Trades is less cost-efficient than {{BTD6|Merchantman}}, so it is only recommended as an upgrade after 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 immediately 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.
