'''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.

Raw stat bonuses are always a good choice from Artifacts like Inspiration, Precision and Quickening, [[Primary Specialist]], [[Squadron Together Strong]], [[Zig Then Zag]] and [[Support Specialist]].

* [[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.

* [[Primal Instinct]] is used to boost the rate at which [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemists]] deploy their buff potions, ~~however~~ it might also be counterproductive with [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead]] / [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] as Last is usually a better targeting for them. [[Robo Monkey (BTD6)|Robo Monkey]] can set one of its weapons to Close to benefit from this Artifact and use the other one on a more favorable targeting option.
