We came from the Oceans, and we shall return to the Oceans. Cost $650 XP curve ×1 (type 2) Roles Controller Supporter Difficulty 2/5 Hero Alt of Obyn Greenfoot Introduced Launch

Ocean Obyn is a Hero Alt of Obyn Greenfoot in Bloons TD Battles 2. He costs  2,000 Monkey Money and 40,000 Obyn Greenfoot Hero Points to unlock.

Ocean Obyn attacks by summoning shark spirits that seek out Bloons and can pass through line of sight blockers. Each shark deals 2 damage and can hit up to 4 Bloons, but cannot damage Purple Bloons and cannot detect Camo Bloons. As he levels up, his shark spirits gain more pierce, damage, and projectile speed, and he gains access to tower buffs and objects he can place on the track to inhibit the Bloons. Unlike Obyn Greenfoot, he can be placed on both land and water, and all of his buffs affect all Magic towers instead of just Druids.

• Starting at level 2, Obyn buffs the pierce of all Magic towers within his range. At later levels, he also increases their attack speed and discounts their tier 5 upgrades.
• Starting at level 4, Obyn places Ocean's Ward Totems on the track that occasionally knock back Bloons that enter their range. At later levels, they occasionally stun MOAB-class Bloons.
• His level 3 ability places coral on the track that damages Bloons that touch it, including Camo Bloons, but cannot damage Lead Bloons until higher levels. They gain more pierce the longer they exist on the map.
• His level 10 ability places two Krakens on the track that absorb all Bloons that touch them until they are full, then explode and drop bananas that can be collected to earn extra cash.

Buffs

Ocean Obyn provides buffs to Magic towers within his range. Each buff is unlocked at a different level.

Icon	Name	Level unlocked	Effect
	Wrath of the Sea	2	+1 pierce
	Ocean's Clarity	11	+2 pierce (+3 total), +5 range
	(unnamed)	13	10% discount to tier 5 upgrades
	Crystal Clarity	18	Reduces attack cooldowns by 15%, effectively increasing affected towers' attack speed by roughly 17.6%

Ocean's Ward Totem

Nature's Ward Totems are sub-towers Ocean Obyn unlocks at level 4. Obyn places an Ocean's Ward Totem on the nearest point on the track every 18 seconds that inflicts 50–300 units of blowback to every fourth non-MOAB-Class Bloons that enters its range. The Totem can affect Camo Bloons, but the Totem itself is not considered to have Camo detection, so it does not allow Advanced Intel to target Camo Bloons in its range. Each Totem lasts for 15 seconds. It gains the following benefits as Obyn Greenfoot levels up:

Level	Effect
8	Now blows back every third Bloon.
15	Now blows back every other Bloon. Every third MOAB-Class Bloon that enters its range for the first time (including DDTs) is now stunned for 0.5 seconds.

Abilities

Living Coral

Living Coral is unlocked at level 3. It places coral at a selected point on the track within Ocean Obyn's range (defaulting to the point closest to him) that damages Bloons that touch it. It deals 1 sharp-type damage per hit and starts with 30 pierce. It gains 15 more pierce every 10 seconds, capped at 150, and lasts for 95 seconds. It has a 35-second cooldown and a 10-second initial cooldown. It gains the following benefits as Ocean Obyn levels up:

Level	Effect
7	Base pierce increases to 60, growth rate increases to 30 per 10 seconds, and max pierce increases to 300.
16	Base pierce increases to 300, growth rate increases to 150 per 10 seconds, and max pierce increases to 1,200. Can now pop all Bloon types.

Unleash the Krakens

Unleash the Krakens is unlocked at level 10. It places two Krakens on the track at random positions within Ocean Obyn's range. If the map has separate paths for natural and sent Bloons, it will attempt to place one on each path. It has a 90-second cooldown.

Each Kraken absorbs all Bloons that touch it and stores them until it reaches its capacity of 1,200 RBE. A Kraken can absorb MOAB-Class Bloons only if their RBE would not exceed its capacity, but it can absorb regular Bloons regardless of its remaining capacity. When a Kraken is full, it explodes into 10 collectable bananas that, combined, are worth 2 times the total RBE absorbed (ignoring any additional RBE granted from round-based health ramping). At level 20, the capacity of each Kraken increases to 4,000 RBE.

Popular loadouts

Ninja-Alch-Farm

Ocean Obyn has great synergies with Magic Monkeys, particularly Ninjas and Supers, when they're placed in range of him. His discounts at level 13+ assist late-game defense in normal gameplay by allowing Tier 5's to be afforded sooner. Provided Bloons don't regularly touch them, place Living Corals whenever available (unless it'll upgrade soon), near the end of the player's track wherever it survives longest until about round 13, when placing it away from Bloons saves its pierce for MOABs. Similarly, use Unleash the Krakens when at hand. Target him on Strong for layer skipping or First for stragglers. He is harder to use on maps where natural and sent Bloons move opposite to each other, such as Castle Ruins, which limit his early-game defense, working better on maps lack it such as Star. Likewise, his Krakens are completely random, which prevent him being reliable sources of income or backline defense.
