$180 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade reduces the attack cooldown of the Mermonkey's trident [[attack]] by 20%, effectively increasing its [[attack speed]] by 25%. [[Crosspath]]ing with [[Alluring Melody]] and above reduces the delay of the trance attack pulling in Bloons by 10% (effectively +11.11% pull rate), but does not affect its attack cooldown.\n

'''[[Trident Swiftness|Trident Swiftness]]'''
Tridents are thrown faster and travel further.
'''Costs''':

$210 (Easy)
$250 (Medium)
$270 (Hard)
$300 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade reduces the cooldown of the trident attack by a further 25% (effectively +33.33% [[attack speed]]), for a total of 40% reduced cooldown (effectively +66.67% attack speed) relative to the base tower, due to it stacking on top of [[Trident Efficiency]]. It also increases the projectile speed of its tridents by 50%, but reduces their lifespan, so the maximum distance they can travel before expiring is effectively the same. Contrary to its description, this upgrade affects other attacks when [[crosspath]]ed, not just the trident attack:\n*With [[Alluring Melody]] and above, it reduces the delay of the trance attack pulling in Bloons while active by 10%, for a total of -21% in combination with Trident Efficiency (effectively +23.46% pull rate overall).\n*With [[Riptide Champion]] and above, it increases the rate that its projectiles gain size and damage at by 50%, to compensate for their reduced lifespan. For [[Popseidon]], it only affects the side tridents in this way.\n*With [[Arctic Knight]] and above, it also increases the projectile speed of Ice Jet's ice balls by 50%, without reducing their lifespan.\n

'''[[Abyss Dweller|Abyss Dweller]]'''
The Abyssal Creature awakens, angrily lashing out at Bloons with powerful tentacles and granting nearby Monkeys a small pierce increase.
'''Costs''':
2,800 XP to unlock
$1,530 (Easy)
$1,800 (Medium)
$1,945 (Hard)
$2,160 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade grants the Mermonkey an Abyssal Creature that slaps nearby Bloons with its eight tentacles, dealing 8 [[Damage type|Shatter-type]] [[damage]] with 15 [[pierce]]. Each tentacle is a separate [[attack]] with a 3-second [[attack speed|attack cooldown]], angled 45\u00b0 apart from each other in a circle. Each tentacle can only target Bloons within a 45\u00b0 cone in front of it, in addition to sharing the same range limit as the Mermonkey. Additionally, this upgrade increases the damage of the Mermonkey's trident splashes from 2 to 4, and it now grants a +10% pierce [[buff]] to all towers in its range (excluding itself and [[Paragon]]s).\n

'''[[Abyssal Warrior|Abyssal Warrior]]'''
Coats tridents in a thick ink that slows bloons. Abyssal creature grows in power, destroying most Bloons with ease and enhancing nearby Monkeys with more pierce.
'''Costs''':
11,000 XP to unlock
$3,570 (Easy)
$4,200 (Medium)
$4,535 (Hard)
$5,040 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade allows the Mermonkey's trident splashes to coat Bloons they hit in ink, slowing all their layers for up to 10 seconds. It slows regular Bloons by 40% and [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]s and [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]]s by 28%, but does not affect any other [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, and does not affect Bloons that the splashes cannot deal damage to. This upgrade also imrpoves other aspects of the Mermonkey:\n*The Abyssal Creature's tentacles now deal 12 damage and +6 damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloons]] (enough to one-shot a non-[[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] non-[[Super Ceramic Bloon|Super]] Ceramic), have 25 pierce instead of 15 (still gaining +35% pierce with the [[Sharper Prongs]] [[crosspath]]), the slaps cover a 50% larger area, and their attack cooldown reduces from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds (effectively increasing their [[attack speed]] by 20%).\n*The Mermonkey's trident splashes now deal 8 damage instead of 4.\n*The Mermonkey's [[buff]] to towers in range now increases their pierce by 20% instead of 10%.\n

'''[[Lord of the Abyss|Lord of the Abyss]]'''
The fully unleashed wrath of the Abyssal Creature brings the power of the depths to the surface, annihilating most Bloons, and greatly enhancing the pierce of nearby Monkeys.
'''Costs''':

$19,550 (Easy)
$23,000 (Medium)
$24,840 (Hard)
$27,600 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade increases the Mermonkey's [[range]] from 28 units to 32 units and allows water-based towers to be placed on land within its 32-unit [[range]] (functioning like the opposite of [[Arctic Wind (BTD6)|Arctic Wind]]). This upgrade also improves other aspects of the Mermonkey:\n*The Abyssal Creature's tentacles now deal 32 damage (while still dealing +6 damage to Ceramic Bloons), have 50 pierce instead of 25 (still gaining +35% pierce with the [[Sharper Prongs]] [[crosspath]]), the slaps cover twice as large an area, and their attack cooldown reduces from 2.5 seconds to 1.5 seconds (effectively increasing their [[attack speed]] by ~66.7%).\n*The Mermonkey's tridents attack twice as fast and have 9 pierce instead of 2. Their splashes now deal 10 damage instead of 8, but have the same pierce as before.\n*The Mermonkey's [[buff]] to towers in range now increases their pierce by 40% instead of 20%.\n\n

$170 (Easy)
$200 (Medium)
$215 (Hard)
$240 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade increases the pierce of its tridents by 1 (from 2 to 3 with its base stats) and splashes by 3 (from 3 to 6 with its base stats).\n\n[[Crosspath]]ing with [[Abyss Dweller]] grants its tentacle attacks +35% pierce. Crosspathing with [[Alluring Melody]] grants its trance attack +2 pierce.\n

'''Costs''':
700 XP to unlock
$190 (Easy)
$225 (Medium)
$245 (Hard)
$270 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade increases the radius of the trident splashes by 50% and causes the splashes to [[freeze]] Bloons they hit. The freeze lasts for 4 [[Bloon layer]]s or 0.5 seconds, only applies to Bloons the splashes can deal damage to, and does not apply to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s at all.\n

[[File:BTD6 Mermonkey 030UpgradeIcon.png|50px]]
'''[[Riptide Champion|Riptide Champion]]'''
Mermonkey draws energy from the sea. Tridents can pop Lead Bloons, grow in power as they travel, and crash with devastating force.
'''Costs''':
2,500 XP to unlock
$1,700 (Easy)
$2,000 (Medium)
$2,160 (Hard)
$2,400 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade replaces its original trident [[attack]] with a new trident attack that fires every 1.5 seconds instead of every 1.2 seconds (20% slower than before) and has 32 units of [[range]] instead of 28 units. Its tridents move slower and don't create splashes, but they now grow in size and [[damage]] as they travel, and they spawn two wavelet projectiles laterally at the end of their lifespans or upon colliding with a wall (they do not spawn by running out of pierce).\n\nAt base, both the tridents and the wavelets have 25 [[pierce]], deal 4 [[damage type|Frigid-type]] [[damage]] and +2 damage to frozen Bloons, and [[freeze]] all layers of Bloons they deal damage to for up to 1 second (0.5 seconds for [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s). They pass through [[White Bloon (BTD6)|White Bloon]]s and [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebra Bloon]]s (but not [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s) instead of colliding with them unless [[buff]]ed to be able to deal damage to them. Per second of travel time, the tridents gain 50% more damage (capped at 3\u00d7 damage, though this is functionally impossible to reach without projectile lifespan buffs) and 10% more radius, while the wavelets lose 20% radius (but do not lose damage).\n

'''[[Arctic Knight|Arctic Knight]]'''
Tridents grow in power faster. Ice Jet ability: Launches a barrage of bouncing ice balls following target priority, or targeted point.
'''Costs''':
16,000 XP to unlock
$6,800 (Easy)
$8,000 (Medium)
$8,640 (Hard)
$9,600 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade unlocks the Ice Jet [[Activated Ability]], which causes the Mermonkey to stop using its trident attack, instead rapidly firing ice balls straight ahead with a small degree of random spread, for 3 seconds. The ice balls deal 20 [[Damage type|Frigid-type]] [[damage]] (which does not soak through layers) with 240 [[pierce]], freeze up to 3 layers of non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s for 3 seconds, and can bounce off of walls. By default, the ability targets Bloons over infinite [[range]] according to the tower's current [[targeting option]], but the player can also lock the attack in one direction like a [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]] by using its [[Monkey Special]]. It cooldown is 45 seconds.\n\nThis upgrade also improves the Mermonkey's trident attack. It increases the base damage of the tridents and wavelets from 4 to 8, and they now +4 damage to frozen Bloons and +8 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s. It also causes the tridents to grow in damage by 75% per second (112.5% with the [[Trident Swiftness]] [[crosspath]]) instead of 50%.\n

'''[[Popseidon|Popseidon]]'''
Popseidon's Ice Jet ability draws such power that a rogue wave floods the map with supercooled water, freezing all Bloons and reclaiming the weak for the sea.
'''Costs''':
70,000 XP to unlock
$44,200 (Easy)
$52,000 (Medium)
$56,160 (Hard)
$62,400 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade enhances its [[Activated Ability]], increasing the damage its ice balls deal from 20 to 30 and allowing them to bounce off the edges of the map. It also causes the ability to summon a flood that deals 70 [[damage type|Frigid-type]] damage to all Bloons on-screen (including [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s, even if it lacks [[Camo detection]]) and [[slow]]s all Bloons (even Bloons it cannot deal damage to) to 50% speed for 8 seconds.\n\nAdditionally, this upgrade increases the Mermonkey's [[range]] from 32 units to 40 units, doubles the [[attack speed]] of the trident attack, increases the base damage of the tridents and wavelets from 8 to 15, increases the damage they deal to frozen Bloons to +7.5 and to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s to +15, and increases the rate they gain damage to 112.5% per second. With this upgrade, it also fires two more tridents each time it attacks, angled 45\u00b0 to each side of the middle trident.\n

'''[[Echosense Precision|Echosense Precision]]'''
Tridents can detect Camo bloons and tridents seek their target.
'''Costs''':
150 XP to unlock
$170 (Easy)
$200 (Medium)
$215 (Hard)
$240 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade grants all of the Mermonkey's [[attack]]s [[Camo detection]] and allows its tridents to home in on Bloons within 80 units from any direction.\n\n[[Crosspath]]ing with [[Trident Swiftness]] increases the tridents' rotation rate while seeking to compensate for their increased movement speed, while crosspathing with [[Riptide Champion]] reduces their rotation rate to counterbalance their reduced movement speed. With [[Arctic Knight]], it also reduces the random spread angle of its Ice Jet ability from 30\u00b0 to 10\u00b0, but with [[Popseidon]], it no longer reduces the ability's spread, instead increasing the spread angle of its side tridents (not the wavelets) from 45\u00b0 to 60\u00b0.\n

'''[[Alluring Melody|Alluring Melody]]'''
Entrances non MOAB-Class Bloons with a hypnotic tune, magically detonating all damage over time effects, disrupting Bloon movement, and strips Camo.
'''Costs''':
3,000 XP to unlock
$1,700 (Easy)
$2,000 (Medium)
$2,160 (Hard)
$2,400 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade unlocks a new [[attack]] for the Mermonkey that pulls non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s into a trance. The attack creates an area of effect that causes Bloons that enter it to lose [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] properties, instantly take the total remaining damage of [[damage over time]] if they have any (capped at 50 damage each), and continuously circle around the tower anticlockwise. It lasts for 6 seconds, returning tranced Bloons to where they were before when it ends, and has a 12-second cooldown (effectively 50% uptime without buffs). It has 6 [[pierce]] (with [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s consuming 2 pierce), which determines how many Bloons it can entrance at a time. This upgrade also increases the pierce of the Mermonkey's trident splashes from 3 to 9.\n

'''[[Symphonic Resonance|Symphonic Resonance]]'''
Hypnotic tune can affect low tier MOAB-Class Bloons. Can be set to echo from a nearby point.
'''Costs''':
14,500 XP to unlock
$6,460 (Easy)
$7,600 (Medium)
$8,210 (Hard)
$9,120 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade increases the Mermonkey's [[range]] from 28 units to 32 units and enhances the trance [[attack]]. It now has 12 pierce instead of 6 (still gaining +2 pierce from the [[Sharper Prongs]] [[crosspath]]), no longer consumes +1 pierce from [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s, can deal up to 125 damage from detonating [[damage over time]] instead of 50, and can now pull [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]s and [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s into its trance (with MOABs consuming +2 pierce and DDTs consuming +3). Tranced MOAB-Class Bloons orbit at one-third the speed of regular Bloons.\n\nThis upgrade also unlocks a [[Monkey Special]] that allows the player to place a totem [[sub-tower]] anywhere within the Mermonkey's range, which causes the trance to emit from the totem instead of the Mermonkey. The player can also use the Monkey Special to remove the totem and return the trance attack to the Mermonkey, with a 6-second cooldown before the player can place the totem again.\n

'''[[The Final Harmonic|The Final Harmonic]]'''
This elder can echo its irresistible tune anywhere. While devastating to Bloons, the call inspires nearby Heroes with improved range and cooldowns, and Magic Monkeys extra pierce.
'''Costs''':
52,000 XP to unlock
$21,250 (Easy)
$25,000 (Medium)
$27,000 (Hard)
$30,000 (Impoppable)
\nThis upgrade unlocks a [[buff]] that applies to all [[Hero]]es and [[Magic]] towers (except itself) within the totem's [[range]] if it exists, or the Mermonkey's range if not. It grants Heroes +15% range and -15% [[Activated Ability]] cooldowns and grants Magic towers +3 [[pierce]]. Additionally, this upgrade increases the [[range]] of the Mermonkey (and its totem, by extension) from 32 units to 38 units, the [[pierce]] of its trident splashes from 9 to 18, and further enhances its [[trance]] attack.\n\nThis upgrade reduces the trance attack's cooldown to 3 seconds, increases its [[damage over time]] damage cap to 10,000, and allows its totem to be placed onto any valid location on-screen. It also allows the trance to affect [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]]s, [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]]s, [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s, and [[Boss Bloon]]s: it can pull in and trance BFBs and ZOMGs in the same way as MOABs and DDTs, but against BADs and bosses, it only strips Camo and detonates [[damage over time]], without pulling them in. BFBs, ZOMGs, BADs, and bosses all consume +3 pierce for the trance.\n
