'''Overclock''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants the Overclock [[Activated Ability]], which allows the player to apply a temporary [[buff]] to a non-sentry [[tower]] of their choosing. For most towers, it reduces the [[attack cooldown]] of the target tower by 40%, increasing its [[attack speed]] by ~66.7%. Since the banana production of [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]]s is considered an [[attack]], it also increases the number of bananas (or packets of cash in the case of [[Monkey Bank (BTD6)|Monkey Bank]]s and [[Marketplace (BTD6)|Marketplace]]s) they produce by 66.7%, rounded up to a whole number. If used on a [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]], it increases its [[range]] by 10%. The attack speed buff also works on [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]], but not [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]]. The duration of the buff depends on the target's current [[upgrade]] tier and does not change if the target upgrades while the buff is active.

The duration of the buff depends on the target's highest [[upgrade]] tier, between 30 to 60 seconds, and lasts only 30 seconds on [[Hero (BTD6)|Hero]]es.

==Ability==
Upon activation, Overclock allows the player to select a tower. It cannot select [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentries]]. After selecting a tower, it applies a temporary [[buff]] to it that reduces its attack cooldown by 40%, effectively increasing its [[attack speed]] by ~66.7%. It applies additional effects to the following:
*On [[Bloontonium Reactor (BTD6)|Bloontonium Reactor]] and [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]], it also reduces the duration of the radiation effect it applies to Bloons by 40%.
*On a [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]], it increases the number of bananas (or packets of cash in the case of [[Monkey Bank (BTD6)|Monkey Bank]]s and [[Marketplace (BTD6)|Marketplace]]s) they produce by 66.7%, rounded up to the nearest whole number.
*On a [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]], it increases its [[range]] by 10%. The attack speed buff also affects [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]], but not [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]].
 
The duration of the buff depends on the target's current [[upgrade]] tier and does not change if it gains an upgrade while the buff is active:
*Tier 5: 30 seconds (also applies to [[Hero]]es regardless of level)
*Tier 4: 45 seconds
*Tier 4: 45 seconds
*Tier 3 and below: 60 seconds
*Tier 3 and below: 60 seconds
In addition, this upgrade increases the base [[pierce]] of the Engineer Monkey's main attack by 12 (increased to 15) and increases the pierce of its [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]] puddles by 4 (increased to 14). It also doubles the [[projectile speed]] of its nails, but halves their [[projectile lifespan|lifespan]], so their maximum travel distance remains the same.
 
This ability has a 45-second cooldown, which does not start until after the player selects a tower. This ability is usable during the break between rounds.

Versus [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]], its start-of-round speed boost may cause Lych to re-gain its Regrow property, but the foam can be used to remove it. Target only towers that are far away from Lych, and if the target must be closer then time the ability just after Lych does the "suction" animation (indicating that Lych has recently absorbed buffs every 12 seconds).
