Dan D'Monke (BTD6): Difference between revisions

| rl tower 1 = Ninja Monkey

| rl tower 2 = Monkey Village

Dan D'Monke is a [[Hero]] with an alternate form named '''The Masqued Macaque'''. His base form has a fast melee attack and focuses on support by reducing lives lost and generating lives. The Masqued Macaque trades his attack speed and support for more damage, including being able to sometimes unleash chain lightning when he attacks. In both forms, he is immune to [[negative effect]]s (such as [[Boss Bloon]] attacks and certain map mechanics such as [[Glacial Trail]]'s tower freezing). Dan D'Monke has a [[footprint]] of 8 units (same as [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)|Captain Churchill]] and [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]], but it is reduced to 7 while transformed) and a [[Range|display range]] of 30 units.

===Dan D'Monke===

==== Main attack====

In his base form, Dan D'Monke attacks with his sword with a 0.5 seconds [[Attack cooldown|cooldown]], dealing 1 {{BTD6 dt|17}} damage to up to 4 Bloons in a small area{{fn|Internally, he launches a projectile with a radius of 0.5 units at 500 units/s, it has a lifespan of 0.075s.}}. He cannot target nor hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]].

|Every 3 attacks, Dan D'Monke jabs a second time in quick succession (0.05 seconds).

|Range increased to 34.5 units, display range is also increased to match it. Pierce increased to 8. Projectile lifespan increased to 0.0863 seconds.

==== Net Traps ====

Starting at level 4, Dan D'Monke places net traps on the section of the track in range every 9 seconds. 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 19, Dan D'Monke generates 1 Mana Shield per pop, even in [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]] and [[CHIMPS]]. He can generate a maximum of 100 Mana Shield. Additionally, his sword attacks gain 1% damage per Mana Shield, up to +100% damage.

 

===The Masqued Macaque===

==== Main attack ====

In his Masqued Macaque form, his attack damage is increased to 2, pierce is increased to 9, and range is increased to 34.5 units.{{fn|Display range remains at 30 units. Projectile radius and speed remains the same, but projectile lifespan is increased to 0.0863 seconds.}} The damage type is changed to {{BTD6 dt|0}} and has Camo detection. However, his attack cooldown is increased to 1 second.

|Range increased to 39.675 units, display range is also increased to match it. Pierce increased to 12. Projectile lifespan increased to 0.0992s.

|Damage increased to 9.

|Damage increased to 12.

The Masqued Macaque performs a stomp every 20 attacks. This attack has a 34.5 unit radius and can affect up to 60 Bloons. Affected Bloons take 20 {{BTD6 dt|0}} damage (does not soak through layers) and get blown back 1−200 units at 4× speed. It cannot blow back MOAB-class Bloons.

==== MOAB Smack ====

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.

 

This attack has a cooldown of 30 seconds and the range is half of The Masqued Macaque's range (19.8375 units by default).

 

==== Lives buff ====

Starting at level 19, the Masqued Macaque's sword and lightning attacks gain 1% damage per life under 102 lives, up to +101% damage. Mana shield does not affect this.

==== Ethereal Shield ====

==== Quick Thinking ====

==== Blowback buff ====

==== Battle Peril ====

=== Transformation ===

'''Transformation''' unlocks at level 3 for both forms. It causes him to undergo a transformation, during which all his other attacks and abilities are disabled. While active, he produces lightning every 0.5 seconds (unaffected by attack speed modifiers). Like the Masqued Macaque Chain Lighting, it divides in two bolts after hitting a Bloon, but unlike the main attack, it can branch up to 4 times (to hit a maximum of 31 Bloons) and their seeking range is increased to 86 units. The range for the first target is 30 units for Dan D'Monke and 34.5 units for The Masqued Macaque.

|Lightning damage increases to 3. First target range increases to 34.5 units (Dan D'Monke) or 39.675 units (The Masqued Macaque).

===Dan D'Monke===

====Reposition====

|Cooldown reduces to 15s.

==== Rabble Rouser ====

'''Rabble Rouser''' unlocks at level 10 and has a 60 second cooldown. It provides buffs to himself and all other Monkeys in radius, activating any life loss abilities (e.g. [[Nomad]], [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]] or [[Bomb Blitz (Battles 2)|Bomb Blitz]]) as well as granting them 1.5x damage, and immunity to stun effects for 10 seconds, but in exchange, their attack speed is reduced -17% (1.2× attack cooldown multiplier). The damage buff is multiplicative with other damage buffs. The radius of the ability scales with the range of Dan D'Monke prior to activation.<!--e.g. rabble >> deadeye >> nope no extra towers affected, unlike thdecree-->

 

===The Masqued Macaque===

==== Volant Strike ====

|Radius increases to 39.675 units.

|Damage increases to 100.

|Cooldown reduces to 15s.

==== Berserk Frenzy ====

'''Berserk Frenzy''' unlocks at level 10 and has a 60-second cooldown. While active, he will continuously charge at Bloons anywhere in the map with the [[targeting option]] selected at the time of activation, swiping them in a straight line every 0.25 seconds. On each sweep The Masqued Macaque can damage up to 18 Bloons for 30 {{BTD6 dt|0}} damage. Internally, Dan disappears and a projectile is created that moves at 500 units per second for 0.138s, which results on a motion of 69 units. This projectile has a 10 unit radius.

|Pierce increases to 24. Travel distance increases to 79.35 units (0.1587s lifespan).

|Charge cooldown reduces to 0.1875s.

|Pierce increases to 30.

|Damage increases to 45.

|Damage increases to 60.

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. However, Rabble Rouser's key strength is improving DPS of already high-damage attacks, being a multiplicative damage buff, and his normal form is preferred in situations where adding supports to an existing defense would help more than simply dealing burst damage to groups.
