The Jungle Drums upgrade on the Monkey Village is known for giving nearby towers 15% attack speed, but many players wonder: Does Jungle Drums affect Banana Farms? The answer is important for optimizing farming, especially on maps where every dollar matters.
Here’s a complete breakdown of how Jungle Drums interacts with Banana Farms—and when (or if) it’s worth using.
Does Jungle Drums Affect Banana Farms?
No. Jungle Drums does NOT increase income, production rate, or payout for any Banana Farm upgrade path. Banana Farms do not have attack speed, so the 15% buff does nothing to their income generation.
This applies to all tiers:
- 2-0-0
- 0-2-3
- 2-0-3
- 4-2-0
- 5-0-0
- 5-2-0
- All crosspaths
Jungle Drums gives zero benefit to any Banana Farm.
Why Jungle Drums Doesn’t Work on Farms
Jungle Drums affects attacks only.
Banana Farms do not attack—they produce income on a fixed timer, and that timer is not considered an attack rate. So the Village cannot increase their production speed.
The only Monkey Village upgrade that affects Banana Farms is:
Monkey Commerce (Tier 2 Middle Path)
and
Monkey City (Tier 4 Middle Path)
These reduce upgrade costs and increase farm land space value, not production rate.
Is a Village Ever Worth Placing Near Farms?
Sometimes—but not for Jungle Drums.
You may place a Village near Farms for:
- Monkey Commerce to reduce upgrade costs
- Monkey City to place more Farms in tight maps
- Monkey Town if you want extra income from pops (but this does not multiply banana income)
If you want to boost your farms, use:
- Monkey Farmers (collection convenience)
- Middle-path upgrades (4-0-2 is extremely efficient)
- Banana Central (5-2-0) for huge scaling
- Bloon Trap money (Engineers) or Merchantmen/Favored Trades for extra passive cash
But Jungle Drums remains completely useless for Farms.
Final Verdict
- Jungle Drums does not affect Banana Farms in any way.
- Use Villages around Farms only for cost reduction or extra building space, not income buffs.
- Focus on proper crosspaths and high-tier farm upgrades for maximum profit.
