Suggestions for the Buccaneer strategy:

In general, Buccaneers are difficult to use on many maps because they can only be placed in water. However, on maps with good water placement, they are extremely valuable, as they have powerful upgrades that are much cheaper than many land towers’ upgrades of the same power level.

Path 1 focuses on DPS. Faster Shooting and Double Shot increase early damage and attack speed. Destroyer is easy to acquire early game to do lots of damage very quickly, and gets even more powerful with buffs like Permanent Brew and Overclock. Aircraft Carrier additionally allows it to launch small fighter aircraft that quickly shoot lots of darts and fire homing Anti-MOAB missiles, increasing the Buccaneer’s usefulness on maps where the water is far from the track or obstructed by Line of Sight blockers.

Carrier Flagship further presses this advantage, increasing its own pierce and damage as well as that of its fighter aircraft. It also buffs all onscreen Monkey Aces and Monkeys placed in water (Buccaneers, Subs, Mermonkeys and Ice Monkeys placed on water). The buff also applies to heroes, namely Brickell, Pat, and Silas, but only if the latter two are placed in water. It applies to Sun Temples and True Sun Gods placed on water, too. However, as these towers can only be placed on water as Insta-Towers, this usage isn’t practical. It also provides two medium-sized platforms to place land towers on. These platforms can help these land towers see above Line of Sight blockers, making it good for long-range attackers such as Snipers and Dartling Gunners.
