'''Monkey Academy''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|48.0}}. It causes [[Magic]] Monkeys to also be treated as [[Primary]], [[Military]] and [[Support]] towers at the same time, thus benefiting from other Artifacts or Boosts that only work on a certain category of towers, but as a trade-off, it reduces the [[Range]] of such towers and also applies penalties to non-Magic towers by reducing their damage and increasing the cost of their upgrades. Higher rarity versions of this Artifact reduce the range penalty which is completely removed at Legendary level and this rarity also reduces the drawbacks to non-Support towers. This Artifact allows Magic towers to damage [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] during all immunity phases. | '''Monkey Academy''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|48.0}}.

* Low tier Super Monkeys can benefit a lot from [[Ceramic Chunker]] during the early game to clean up the insides of MOABs they pop. | |||
* [[Ball Lightning (BTD6)|Ball Lightning]] and middle path [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkeys]] can freeze Bloons to have an immediate benefit from [[Crystal Crash]]. | |||
* [[Heightened Perception]] is really useful with [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]] / [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplust]] spam so their buffs have longer range and [[Sticky Bomb (BTD6)|Sticky Bombs]] also use them to follow Boss Bloons for longer. | * [[Heightened Perception]] is really useful with [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]] / [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplust]] spam so their buffs have longer range and [[Sticky Bomb (BTD6)|Sticky Bombs]] also use them to follow Boss Bloons for longer. | ||
