Symphonic Resonance

 Hypnotic tune can affect low tier MOAB-Class Bloons. Can be set to echo from a nearby point.

| Tower | Mermonkey — Path 3 — Tier 4 | |

Symphonic Resonance is the Mermonkey's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It 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 Bloons, can deal up to 125 damage from detonating damage over time instead of 50, and can now pull MOABs and DDTs 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.
This 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.
Mechanics
[edit | edit source]Trance
[edit | edit source]The mechanics are almost identical to Alluring Melody, besides the following:
- Capacity to target MOABs and DDTs, at +2 and +3 pierce penalty, respectively. Like Alluring Melody, trance pierce cannot be overflown.
- It can not detonate Sticky Bomb effect from Sticky Bomb and Master Bomber upgrades, which is also a damage-over time effect. However, the effect from Ascended Shadow can be detonated.
- Increased pierce, from 6 to 12
- The lack of Ceramic pierce penalty
- Increased base range, from 28 to 32. On water, its range increases from 37.8 to 43.2 range
- Increased maximum instant DoT trigger, from 50 to 125
- No longer pauses the trident attack
Totem
[edit | edit source]The totem can be placed on any valid location not obscured by obstacles, and can even be placed on void regions. Its range is shared by the parent Symphonic Resonance. Upon disabling, the Totem button undergoes a 6-second cooldown, and this cooldown doesn't pause between rounds. The totem is not enabled by default. The totem is allowed to be picked up by Special Poperations's 
Door Gunner.

Symphonic Resonance aids stalling and improving focus of low-range, radial towers onto tranced blimps. However, ever since removing the BFB pull, the Symphonic Resonance's only distinct values compared to Giant Condor, a similar blimp-repositioning tower, is its effectiveness at stalling multiple DDTs at once, and reliably move them to the range of other DDT supports such as Embrittlement. The improved max instant DoT detonation damage and lack of Ceramic penalty are less significant, though the latter helps cement its late-game by not having too much pierce clogged by Super Ceramics. Since tranced Bloons can be re-targeted by the trance, each trance essentially has a maximum capacity; at base pierce, it can only pull up to 3 DDTs or 4 MOABs.
Path 1's benefits are preferred if revolving around the DoT detonation, but otherwise the Symphonic Resonance's crosspathing benefits are minor. +2 pierce from Sharper Prongs alone is not enough to let Symphonic Resonance pull in an extra blimp (as its pierce cannot be overflown), but does reduce wastage on smaller Bloons; with other pierce buffs as well (e.g. Admiral Brickell's Level 8+ passive pierce buff), the 0-1-4 crosspath's benefits are worth it over 2-0-4. 0-2-4 is no different from 0-1-4 other than larger freezing tridents.

While we’re not jumping into any full on balance changes, there’s a few corrections that we wanted to make for type-fixes and other intended play.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Trance Totem: Can no longer be sacrificed to Sun Temple or True Sun God
“
Echosense Network hasn’t felt like it is doing all that it could, so we have increased the maximum number of stacks to raise the ceiling of use here as it is meant to be slow ramping with a high space & cost investment to build heavily into. Mermonkey’s trance was extremely powerful against MOABs but limited against regular Bloons, so we’ve shifted prices apart & improved T3 while raising the cost of T4 to a more appropriate level.

Upgrade cost increased ― $4,600 → $7,600
- Overall cost increased by $2,075 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Echosense: maximum stack count increased ― 5 → 10 - Note: This means the maximum range buff has increased from +30% to +60%
- Totem: can now be redeployed by Support Chinook
- Totem: should save location correctly on moving platforms (bug fix)
- Trident: projectile lifespan increased ― 0.5s → 1s
- 0-1-4, 0-2-4
- Sharper Prongs now increases pierce of allure by +1
“
Bottom path Mermonkey is proving to be very high uptime for the strong support it provides, while still exceptional this is only seeing a light nerf for now.

”
- Trance: Cooldown increased ― 3s → 4s
- Note: Does not apply to The Final Harmonic
- Trance: Effect no longer triggers on MOAB-Class Bloons if there are no small Bloons in range (bug)
- Trance: Can again target MOAB-Class Bloons with no small Bloons present (bug fix)
Totems should no longer be considered overclock targets (bug fix)
“
Symphonic Resonance is too expensive to be considered as a de-camo choice so this effect is moving into Alluring Melody, Symphonic Resonance itself is far too powerful right now so the ability to grab BFBs is being removed.
— Update notes

”
- Trance: No longer targets BFBs
- Note: Does not affect xx5
- 0-1-4, 0-2-4
- Trance: Pierce increased ― 5 → 6
“
[...] Alluring Melody’s DoT Detonation mechanic can now apply to any targets that are already tranced although the damage cap per detonation has been reduced to compensate for this
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Echosense Network now works with Mermonkeys converted by Total Transformation
- Trance: Damage over time detonation can now trigger again on already tranced Bloons
- Note: X-X-5 unchanged.
- Trance: Damage over time detonation damage limit reduced ― 500 → 125
- Note: X-X-5 unchanged.
“
Recent changes to Symphonic Resonance caused its pierce usage to increase for far too much of a nerf, so we have increased the pierce to offset this.
— Update notes

”
- Trance: Pierce increased ― 4 → 8
- 0-1-4, 0-2-4
- Trance: Pierce increased ― 6 → 10
“
Mermonkey weren’t[sic] feeling they favoured their natural habitat enough, so their Water Placement bonus is getting a boost.

”
- Range bonus when placed in water increased ― +25% → +35%
“
Last update many players felt blindsided when Brickell stopped applying her buff to Mermonkeys since there was no mention in the balance changes section. We would like to apologize for that - it was tasked internally as a bug as it was indeed unintended to work that way. We then left the issue alone for a long time, mostly due to other more pressing matters, and this issue fell through the cracks. In retrospect, it would have been better to treat this as balance rather than a simple bug fix due to how much time had passed. Reading through your feedback, we did consider just reverting the change, however the bigger issue that the feedback reinforced to us was that players considered Mermonkey to be so bad that it was only a "good" tower when used in combination with a single, water-only hero.
This sort of forced synergy goes against our design intentions - namely that Mermonkey being our signature amphibious tower should be able to stand on its own without being balance-locked to an interaction with a single hero. With all that in mind, we feel Mermonkey's highest priority right now is large sweeping buffs to each of the paths, so most of the following changes are our first step towards this starting from the low tier crosspaths.
