The Boomerang Monkey is a Primary tower in Bloons TD 6. The Boomerang Monkey attacks by throwing boomerangs that travel in an anti-clockwise arc back to it. It has a Monkey Special targeting option that change its throwing arm to its left hand and throw boomerangs that travel in a clockwise arc, and can be toggled at any time. Each boomerang can pop up to 4 Bloons, but cannot pop Lead Bloons or frozen Bloons. Boomerang Monkey can be upgraded to throw boomerangs that bounce from Bloon to Bloon like Quincy's arrows, increase its attack speed with cybernetic implements, or throw boomerangs that travel in a straight line and push away MOAB-Class Bloons.
Upgrades
editPath 1
In addition, the Boomerang Monkey's base attack deals +5 damage, +10 to Ceramic Bloons, can bounce to new targets from any distance, can re-hit Bloons it has already hit after 0.6 seconds, and now applies a damage over time effect to the first MOAB-Class Bloon it hits, dealing 100 damage to it every second for 10 seconds. The effect does not stack with itself, nor does it soak through multiple layers.
With Long Range Rangs crosspath the orbital glaive area of effect's size increases by 15%, and when upgraded further to Red Hot Rangs the damage of orbital glaives and base attack are increased by 2 and can pop Lead and Frozen Bloons. Additionally, this crosspath allows Glaive Lord to hit DDTs if visible.
Path 2
Like Turbo Charge, Perma Charge's ability grants Camo detection with Bionic Augmentation, has a cooldown of 45 seconds, and an initial cooldown of 15 seconds.
Path 3
- Regular Kylie: Damage increases from 2 to 12, pierce increases from 18 to 54, and attack speed of this attack increases by +100%.
- Heavy Kylie: +150% attack speed (from 10 to 4 second cooldown), can target and attack through line-of-sight blockers, and is able to target all MOAB-Class Bloons, even those that it cannot push back (i.e. BADs and Boss Bloons). The heavy Kylie stuns MOAB-Class Bloons for 0.25 seconds, its bonus MOAB-Class damage increases from +4 to +24, pierce increases from 200 to 300, and it explodes instead of returning (or upon running out of pierce). The explosion deals 100 Normal type damage to all Bloons in a radius of 50, with 40 pierce, and applies a burn damage-over-time effect which deals 50 damage/second for 4 seconds.
Paragon
- Main attack: It rapidly throws glaives which seek other targets across the entire map after hitting a Bloon, similar to Glaive Ricochet. This attack applies a damage-over-time effect to the first Bloon it hits.
- Orbital Glaives: In the same way as Glaive Lord, three giant glaives spin around the Paragon covering a large area which deals damage to nearby Bloons on contact.
- MOAB Press: Inspired by the upgrade of the same name, the Paragon can also launch a special glaive towards MOAB-Class Bloons which stops in place after reaching its target and pushes blimps backwards before exploding, dealing high damage and applying a damage-over-time effect. Functionally, it's more similar to MOAB Domination.
Glaive Dominus also gains an Activated Ability called Overcharge, granting a significant attack speed boost that reduces over time, resembling Turbo Charge. This Paragon also applies a buff to all Primary towers on screen including other Paragons, increasing their attack speed by about 11.11%.

Strategy
editBase Boomerang Monkeys rely on curves for damage rather than straight lines, but has good pierce and decent attack speed for early game, making it a good early tower whenever it can maximize its pierce. A Boomerang Dart start works on maps such as Sunset Gulch and High Finance, while a 0-1-1 Boomerang starts on Dark Path and Infernal.
Unlike most towers, Boomerang's lower upgrade tiers are generally cost-efficient even on their own. 1-0-2 is a staple in early game Boss Events, and 0-2-2 can carry early game in CHIMPS if it can make the most of its pierce.
MOAB Press is a staple late game support tower for knocking blimps back, while Glaive Lord is a strong late game T5. Elsewhere, Boomerang Monkey's top path focuses on grouped Bloon damage, middle path focuses on better single target damage, blimp damage, and burst damage through its ability, and bottom path functions as a supporting damager, especially against groups of blimps.
