The Monkey Buccaneer is a great starting tower with good damage and decent income generation, with it's main weakness being lack of proper space to place it on most maps.
== Upgrade Overview ==
The 0-3-1 [[Cannon Ship (Battles 2)|Cannon Ship]] is the ideal starting tower, and can easily be upgraded to [[Crow's Nest (Battles 2)|Crow's Nest]] for camo detection and bonus camo damage. [[Monkey Pirates (Battles 2)|Monkey Pirates]] upgrades the damage of the cannons and allows it to hook in BFBs. [[Pirate Lord (Battles 2)|Pirate Lord]] can be used as a way to instantly take down spaced ZOMGs, though it isn't a tower you should keep for the damage as it's expensive.  


Luckily, the 0-0-3 [[Merchantman (Battles 2)|Merchantman]] offer good money generation for its cost, as well as proves to be useful in supporting camo damage with the newly added bonus damage to camo bloons. Upgrading to a 0-0-4 [[Favored Trades (Battles 2)|Favored Trades]] will allow you to sell unneeded defenses after they are used, like upgrades that rely on the ability to get value. 0-0-5 [[Trade Empire (Battles 2)|Trade Empire]] is quite nice with late game money generation once you can set it up. It only requires 10 merchantmen to be at max effectiveness, and most maps can usually fit a decent amount of boats.
== Strengths and Weaknesses ==
=== Strengths ===
* Money making potential is excellent
* Good starting tower
* Massive camo damage


As for the top path, a 3-2-0 [[Destroyer (Battles 2)|Destroyer]] can assist in taking down early MOABs, including fortified MOABs. The 4-2-0 [[Aircraft Carrier (Battles 2)|Aircraft Carrier]] is great to spam in large numbers in the late game in order to use the water space for additional dps, after placing down the other towers' tier 5s. An Aircraft carrier also works for having great pierce to damage the tight rushes, even more so with some damage buffs from other towers. Of course, upgrading one to the 5-2-0 [[Carrier Flagship (Battles 2)|Carrier Flagship]] will allow all buccaneers to attack faster and deal even more damage to tight rushes, rivaling tight BFBs with relative ease.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Limited to water space
* Requires support for round 11
* Cannot survive into the very late game


The Buccaneer pairs well with supporting towers like the [[Berserker Brew (Battles 2)|Berserker Brew]] Alchemist or an [[Ice Shards (Battles 2)|Ice Shards]] Ice Monkey, which can help it defend round 11 and 13 without Monkey Pirates (which would normally be expensive for the midgame).
== Upgrades ==
=== Path 1 ===
* 3-2-0 [[Destroyer (Battles 2)|Destroyer]] is good for dealing with early MOAB rushes.
* 4-2-0 [[Aircraft Carrier (Battles 2)|Aircraft Carrier]] becomes a great tower when spammed and when inflicting a damage debuff onto bloons.
* 5-x-x [[Carrier Flagship (Battles 2)|Carrier Flagship]] is underwhelming for it's price and rarely used.


As mentioned above, many heroes pair well with the Buccaneer, including both [[Quincy (Battles 2)|Quincy]] and [[Cyber Quincy (Battles 2)|Cyber Quincy]] for the early game support, [[Benjamin (Battles 2)|Benjamin]] and [[Bonnie (Battles 2)|Bonnie]] to increase the income generation on maps with limited water, and both [[Captain Churchill (Battles 2)|Captain]] and [[Sentai Churchill (Battles 2)|Sentai]] Churchill to provide more power in the midgame.
=== Path 2 ===
* 0-1-1 [[Grape Shot (Battles 2)|Grape Shot]] starts strong with high pierce grapes.
* 0-3-1 [[Cannon Ship (Battles 2)|Cannon Ship]] defends early bloon sends well, even grouped yellows, but falls off in the midgame without support.
* 0-4-2 [[Monkey Pirates (Battles 2)|Monkey Pirates]] is a last resort for round 13 rushes, as well as efficient BFB pulling.
* 1-5-0 [[Pirate Lord (Battles 2)|Pirate Lord]] hooks in entire ZOMGs, though this can be an expensive option.
 
=== Path 3 ===
* 0-0-2 [[Crow's Nest (Battles 2)|Crow's Nest]] has massive camo damage which can deter camo and DDT rushes.
* 0-0-3 [[Merchantmen (Battles 2)|Merchantmen]] makes good money for cheap in the early game.
* 0-0-4 [[Favored Trades (Battles 2)|Favored Trades]] provides a sellback boost for reusing abilities constantly, as well as making even more money.
* 0-0-5 [[Trade Empire (Battles 2)|Trade Empire]] buffs all Merchantmen damage output and money generation.
