* Dart Monkeys are extremely useful for defending against the opening rounds of [[CHIMPS]], even on [[Advanced]] and [[Expert]] maps. Common starts include three Dart Monkeys, Dart + [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Sub]], Dart + [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper]], and Dart + [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer]].

* Path 1 of the Dart Monkey converts the tower into a machine that fires spiked balls with high [[Pierce]]. They are strong against Ceramics and grouped Bloons. The balls will also bounce off [[line of sight]] obstacles, making the tower most effective when placed near these obstacles.

* Path 2 focuses on increasing the number of darts thrown, eventually unlocking a powerful ability that temporarily turns many nearby Dart Monkeys into [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkeys]].

* Path 3 grants the Dart Monkey a crossbow, allowing it to pop multiple layers of Bloon each hit. Its good damage, range, and [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection enables it to function effectively in the early- and mid-game,  especially when placed near straight lines.

* The [[Apex Plasma Master]] is the least expensive of all [[Paragon|Paragons]], making it a viable option against Tier 3 and 4 [[Boss Bloon|Bosses]]. With the second Crossbow Master from the {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} Monkey Knowledge, one can build a Degree 20+ Paragon with little additional investment. Like the Dart Monkey's top path, it is most effective when there are obstacles for its projectiles to bounce off of.
