It’s usually a good idea to have at least one Dart Monkey powered up all the way with Path 1 as it will provide players with a great amount of reach in comparison to other Monkey Towers, especially if there are walls around.

If players upgrade using Path 1 they will gain a great load of pierce and will dominate the screen with projectiles. The Dart Monkey has a Medium attack speed, coming in at 0.95s. The Dart Monkey can gain camo detection if players upgrade their third path to the second tier. The Dart Monkey has a Small range, which is considered to be “32.” BASE PIERCE The Dart Monkey is unlocked by default when purchasing BTD6. Players will want to make sure they maximize the amount of damage they can deal in order to ensure that no pierce is wasted, especially as players maximize the upgrades of their Dart Monkeys. If placed on a curved path the Dart Monkey may actually lose a lot of damage simply due to the fact that their attacks will go through bloons and essentially end up in a blank area.

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT / WHERE TO PLACEĭart Monkeys are most useful when placed on a long straight path due to the amount of pierce they receive. Most notably Dart Monkeys lack the ability to deal with Dark Dirigible Titans (DDTs), though Dart Monkeys do a decent amount of damage against other forms of MOAB-class bloons. The Dart Monkey is a great Monkey Tower to start off with, though players cannot fully rely on Dart Monkeys when advancing to Hard and Impoppable content as they are not strong enough. In most cases players should be able to rely on Primary Monkey for the different skills they bring to the table.

Primary Monkeys are by far the cheapest types of Monkeys players can place, though it should be noted that Primary Monkeys range in power and unfortunately the majority of Primary Monkeys lack the ability to detect camo bloons without the use of a Support Tower.

Primary Monkeys cost a minimum of $170 on Easy and as high as $720 on Impoppable. The following will take you through the different types of Monkeys, their uses, costs, abilities and when I prefer to use each and which upgrades I prefer to use together. While I have to admit there are some Monkeys that I rarely (or never use), it’s still a good idea to get to know what all the Monkeys get up to and what price they are and their upgrades cost, as some Monkeys are better than others when it comes to quickly upgrading the Monkey Tower or using them to keep bloons from leaking. Selecting the right Monkey Towers to place onto any set race track can be tricky and will depend on what the track looks like, the difficulty of the track and a player’s personal playstyle.
