When 4 non-MOAB-Class Bloons are in contact with it at once (18 units radius), it activates and creates a net that inflicts an effect which reduces the speed of up to 12 Bloons in an 18 radius range by 50%, this effect lasts for 12s and affects all layers. This effect can slow MOABs, though it will not trigger from them. The Net Traps have 45 seconds lifespan on the track. Camo Bloons are unaffected by this attack unless Dan D'Monke has Camo detection. | ||

Starting at level 14, the Masqued Macaque gains a new attack that specifically targets blue MOABs. This attack sends the target back into the track at 200 units/s, dealing 40 {{BTD6 dt|0}} damage to it. As it travels back into the track, the target and any other Bloon that collides with it (in a 10 unit radius) receives 60 {{BTD6 dt|0}} damage every 0.1s and a pushback effect of 12 units is also applied. It will keep damaging the target MOAB and other Bloons until the 20 pierce of the attack is exhausted or after 1 second passes. The attack can keep hitting the same Bloons after 0.1s, which also makes the target consume 1 pierce constantly. | Starting at level 14, the Masqued Macaque gains a new attack that specifically targets blue MOABs.

Both forms also gain +1 damage for every set amount of leak damage on the screen (not RBE, in the same way as [[Avatar of Wrath (BTD6)|Avatar of Wrath]]). Dan D'Monke stacks for every 20,000 leak damage and is capped to a maximum of +15 damage. The Masqued Macaque stacks for every 10,000 leak damage and can go up to a maximum of +50 damage. | ||

The range for the first target is 30 units for Dan D'Monke and 34.5 units for The Masqued Macaque. | ||
The transformation phase lasts for three seconds, and when it ends, he switches from Dan D'Monke to the Masqued Macaque (or vice versa) and gains a buff that increases his attack speed by 33% (0.75× attack cooldown multiplier) for 9 seconds. The ability has a cooldown of 20 seconds. It can only target or hit Camo Bloons if used by the Masqued Macaque or if Dan D'Monke has Camo detection. | The transformation phase lasts for three seconds, and when it ends, he switches from Dan D'Monke to the Masqued Macaque (or vice versa) and gains a buff that increases his attack speed by 33% (0.75× attack cooldown multiplier) for 9 seconds.

The damage buff is multiplicative with other damage buffs. | ||

Dan D'Monke provides solid support and DPS, depending on his form. He is mostly used for his Reposition ability to be a cheap substitute for [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]] and Rabble Rouser as an alternative to Pat's Rallying Roar, as well as being able to use passive abilities for Towers that require lives to be lost for activation on CHIMPS (e.g. [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]] and x-x-2 Desparado). His Masqued Macaque form is decent on ABR thanks to innate Camo detection and Lead popping. His base version is usually preferred for his supports, and he has better receptiveness to buffs than Masqued Macaque. | Dan D'Monke provides solid support and DPS, depending on his form.

His Masqued Macaque form is decent on ABR thanks to innate Camo detection and Lead popping. His base version is usually preferred for his supports, and he has better receptiveness to buffs than Masqued Macaque. | ||
During the early-game, he can ease some difficult grouped rounds with his Transform ability, in addition to general cheap damage. | |||
His mid-game is one of his strongest points, being able to move around defenses to organise setups for win conditions in strategic positions, as well as bursts of damage. Depending on his form, he can serve as the supporting Hero or the direct defender. If the defense is focused on general damage but lacks grouped cleanup, switching to Masqued Macaque and using his Berserk Frenzy may sometimes be better. | |||
His highest upgrades aren't too important, but even without them he can sustain a strong late-game with natural leveling. His passive leak protection can prevent strays from leaking, which assists the most on short maps and map formats with low visibility exits. | |||
