Half Cash is one of the toughest game modes in BTD6. On certain maps, it can feel even harder than CHIMPS. On easier maps, my go-to hero for this brutal mode has always been Benjamin. He provides consistent income and reliable abilities, making him a great asset for Half Cash runs.
I created a video guide showing how to beat Round 100 in Half Cash mode on the Logs map using Benjamin. I also treated it as a small personal challenge. Can we make it through? Let’s find out.
We start by placing a Dart Monkey and a Boomerang Monkey to cover a large area. Once we save enough money, we place Benjamin. We upgrade the Boomerang Monkey to 3-0-1 by going two times down Path 3 and once on Path 1. Use Benjamin’s ability during difficult moments. For the Camo Bloons on Round 24, upgrade the Dart Monkey to 0-0-2, then place a Monkey Village once you can afford it.
Within the Village’s range, place a Sniper Monkey and upgrade it to 1-0-0 with Full Metal Jacket. For Round 33 camo bloons, upgrade the Dart Monkey to 0-0-3. Then take the Sniper to 2-0-0. Upgrade your Village to 3-2-0 to help the Boomerang Monkey and provide camo detection. Use Benjamin’s ability to help pop the MOAB on Round 40.
Upgrade the Boomerang Monkey to 4-0-2 for M.O.A.R Glaives and the Village to 4-2-0 for Primary Training. Place a Tack Shooter covering a wide area and upgrade it to 4-0-2. Constantly use Benjamin’s Syphon Funding for income and bloon slowing. Upgrade your Sniper to 3-0-2 as you earn more money.
To speed things up, place two more Tack Shooters in the Monkey Village’s range and upgrade them to 4-0-2. Then add a Monkey Sub and upgrade it to 2-0-4.
From here, focus on saving money. Don’t forget to use Benjamin’s abilities whenever available. Once you have enough, upgrade the Monkey Village to 5-2-0 for Primary Expertise — the powerful village catapult is incredibly useful. Finally, upgrade the Sniper Monkey to 4-0-2 with Maim MOAB.
This setup should get you through Round 100 in Half Cash mode. Feel free to customize it to your playstyle. For example, you could add another Sniper to help deal with stronger MOAB-class bloons. Once you complete Round 100, share your strategy in the comments!
