Submerge and Support
|
 Adds Submerge targeting option that permanently reveals Camo Bloons in its radius but does not attack while submerged.
|
| Tower | Monkey Sub — Path 1 — Tier 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| XP cost | 2,250 | |
| Cash cost | $595 — Easy $700 — Medium $755 — Hard $840 — Impoppable | |
Submerge and Support is the Monkey Sub's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. When purchased, the Monkey Sub gains the Submerge targeting option which can be toggled every 0.5s. When submerged, the Monkey Sub stops its usual attacks, and instead periodically creates an aura in its range that removes the Camo property of Bloons inside it. This decamo aura deals no damage, activates every 1.35 seconds, and has a pierce of 100.
Crosspaths upgrade the aura. Twin Guns increases the attack speed of the aura by ~42.3%, and Barbed Darts increases its pierce by 50. Heat-tipped Darts and Airburst Darts provide no further benefit to a submerged sub.

Strategy

Submerge and Support is a cheap and solid de-camo tower, working best around bends. On maps without bends or with far-apart lanes, a global de-camo such as Signal Flare is better. Additionally, Submerge and Support can be unreliable against DDTs. Lastly, its value can be maximized by unsubmerging it on rounds without Camos.
3-0-1 greatly improves its de-camo consistency against fast Bloons. 3-1-0's de-camo pierce bonus is minimal outside of a Race context. Other crosspaths can be added for the unsubmerged Sub.

“
Similar types of camo reveal like Shimmer/Signal Flare/Embrittlement are all pierce limited, but the Submerge sub has practically infinite pierce while also being extremely cheap with a very fast rate and a T4 that is far better at camo removal than those other towers can reach. Giving this upgrade a more reasonable pierce value brings these more in line and allows for the pierce crosspath to have some potential meaning.

Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 100
- 3-1-0
- Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 120

- Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 150
- Now submerges correctly on Quarry (bug fix)

We have come back a number of times to add, fix & balance sub crosspathing, over years of learning though it currently feels messy and we’d like simplification. Heat-Tipped Darts doesn’t increase base sub pierce, so it feels silly to require it for maximum pierce on Submerged subs. Likewise Airburst shouldn’t be required to maximize the rate of submerged subs, instead we’d rather give people an easier way to work with the Airburst attack if they desire to upgrade to it so ‘Submerge’ is moving to a new Tower Special rather than target priority.

“
Monkey Sub kept leaving bags of poop on our doorstep and will be gaining improved reliability for its de-camo pulse, with Reactor already doing very good at this and buildup growing more reliable from the change it gets a tiny price raise.

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Unlike its previous iterations, Submerge and Support in BTD6 automatically submerges the Sub upon upgrading.
- The in-game appearance of the 3-2-0 Sub has led the community to jokingly refer to it as the "Angry Sub". Ninja Kiwi has acknowledged this term in the 29.0 patch notes with the line "making sub a little angrier".
- After flooding Flooded Valley, any submerged Sub placed on the left side does not visually submerge completely.
