Plasma Monkey Fan Club is the Dart Monkey's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Plasma Monkey Fan Club now has a more powerful Activated Ability that transforms up to 19 other Dart Monkeys and itself into fast-attacking Plasma Monkeys for 15 seconds, with an ability cooldown of 50 seconds. Like Super Monkey Fan Club, the ability can only transform Path 1 and Path 3 Dart Monkeys up to tier 2, and Path 2 Dart Monkeys up to tier 4.

Plasma Monkey Fan Club Ability

[edit | edit source]

Compared to Monkeys transformed by Super Monkey Fan Club, Monkeys transformed by Plasma Monkey Fan Club gains +1 damage, +3 pierce, +100% attack speed, and change their damage type from Sharp to Plasma. In total, transformed Monkeys have a base attack cooldown of 0.03 seconds, 2 damage, and 5 pierce. They inherit any pierce, attack speed, range, and Camo detection upgrades, and are given a minimum range of 40. They do not inherit the increased projectile count from Triple Shot.

The ability prioritizes transforming non-transformed Dart Monkeys closest to the one that activates the ability. If fewer than 19 non-transformed Dart Monkeys exist on the map, the ability can transform already transformed Dart Monkeys. This resets the transformation time of that Dart Monkey back to 15 seconds.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Plasma Monkey Fan Club has very good synergy with Primary Expertise, as it gives ability cooldown reduction, a pierce and attack speed increase, and free T1 and T2 upgrades. Primary Mentoring works as well but mainly loses free T2s. Like the previous upgrade, this tower is focused on high burst damage, and is thus nearly useless without its ability. It is recommended to either use another DPS tower or some form of stalling (e.g. Horned Owl) to alleviate downtime.

PMFC is very powerful in Timed Boss Events, being one of the fastest ways to defeat most Tier 1 and 2 Bosses when paired with debuffs such as Embrittlement and Glue Strike. It is also strong in Boss Rush for farming pops and saving up to the Apex Plasma Master. Note that debuffs are largely only necessary against Bosses rather than normal gameplay.

The transformed Dart Monkeys are best upgraded to 2-2-0 to maximize pierce and attack speed, but 0-2-2 can be bought if the extra track coverage and/or Camo detection is more useful than the pierce. After the upgrades have been bought, Triple Shot can be considered to grant another speed boost for a low cost.

  • Buff Ability: Can now affect X-4-X Dart Monkeys
  • Buff Placing any Dart Monkey Insta Monkey no longer consumes all free Dart Monkeys (bug fix)
  • Nerf Ability: no longer affects Dart Monkeys transformed by Total Transformation
  • Nerf Ability applies to 20 towers instead of 40
  • Buff Ability now increases damage by 1
  • Nerf Buff no longer stacks with Total Transformation monsters
While overall good, the difficulty of using PMFC to its full potential doesn’t feel quite worth it so price has been cut to make it a little easier to reach.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $50,000 → $45,000
[W]e’re already fairly happy with the SMFC abilities, but at T4 it feels clunky and outdated that the ability can only influence a max of 10 dart monkeys at a time when casting the ability multiple times in quick succession from multiple T4s so we are removing that limitation. We discussed whether the SMFC change would reduce the specificity of which Monkeys are affected but the benefits seemed greater, so we’ll be looking for feedback from folks who enjoy dart multitude builds.
— Update notes
  • Buff Multiple simultaneous ability uses is no longer limited to 20 maximum conversions
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $500 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Shuffle on lower tier upgrade costs & increased attack speed across middle path in order to offer these upgrades more value both in and out of Super Monkey Fan Club transformation.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $250 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.4774s → 0.2387s
