Tech Terror is the Super Monkey's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. This upgrade grants an ability which deals 2,600 damage to 2,000 Bloons within a 70 unit radius of the Super Monkey.

Additionally, this upgrade increases the pierce of the Super Monkey's projectiles by 2 and sets their damage type to Plasma.

With Knockback, the ability applies -24× speed for 0.2 seconds on all surviving Bloons (except BADs and Bosses).

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 55.2

Tech Terror is a decent late game damage tower. Its Annihilation ability is capable of clearing a large amount of RBE from dense rounds, notably Round 98. Tech Terror also shines in Race Events, functioning the same way as Tsar Bomba, trading limited ability range for a better main attack.

As for crosspath, 0-4-2 is generally preferred for the knockback against MOAB-class bloons, especially DDTs. While its DPS is decent, the utility of 0-4-1 is often much preferred, and 0-4-2 is more effective against DDTs.

Version 9.0

•  Ability: Radius increased ― 40 → 60

Version 10.0

•  Pierce increased ― 6 → 8
•  Projectile speed increased by 25%

Version 12.0

0-4-1, 0-4-2

•  Second arm applies more knockback to Lead, Ceramic, and Fortified (bug)
  •  Overall knockback is the same as in previous versions for the second arm; the nerf to Knockback in this update only affects the first arm

Version 13.0

0-4-1, 0-4-2

•  Alternate arm no longer has a stronger knockback effect on Leads and Ceramics (bug fix)

Version 20.0

“

We were finally able to properly implement a popular suggestion for the Robo Monkey, and will be keeping an eye on it’s performance more closely in this update.
— Update notes

”

•  Main attacks: Can now set each arm to separate targeting options (instead of only allowing combinations of First+Last or Close+Strong)

Version 22.0

“

Additionally middle path has received some basic buffs with middle path has received some basic buffs with Robo-Monkey feeling unbalanced for the high price and difficult crosspathing, Tech Terror not keeping up with other towers that perform a similar role.
— Update notes

”

•  Overall cost reduced by $2,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Ability cooldown decreased ― 60s → 45s

Version 24.0

“

While not considered an issue on the same level for Races, the Bloon Annihilation ability has preemptively had pierce reduced under the same reasoning as Ground Zero and Maelstrom, but by amounts that still likely won’t be noticeable even under most Race conditions - but we’re keeping an eye on it. Additionally the price of this upgrade has been reduced by a fair amount.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $22,000 → $19,000
•  Ability: Pierce reduced ― ∞ → 2,000

Version 26.0

•  Now remembers target priorities when loading saves (bug fix)

Version 27.0

“

Robo Monkey has never filled the super effective role it held in BTD5, so Dr Monkey has installed updated HUD targeting systems that now deal occasional critical hits. Additionally as the abilities on this path didn’t match up to their history or other Monkey Tower options (like Ground Zero) so they have been improved significantly in damage and increased radius.
— Update notes

”

•  Overall cost increased by $1,400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Ability: Damage increased ― 1,000 → 2,500
•  Ability: Radius increased ― 60 → 70
•  Main attack: Now fires a crit shot every 15–20 shots that deals 10 damage

Version 30.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 31.0

“

Robo didn't need to lose pierce in the last Super Monkey T2 rework, and Dark Knight feels like it has too much pierce without ever considering the pierce crosspath. So to balance these together we’ve taken out pierce from Dark Knight and added it back into x2x carrying up into Robo Monkey.
— Update notes

”

•  Main attacks: Pierce increased ― 8 → 9

Version 34.0

“

Tech Terror's ability runs into niche issues before r100 with some cases causing it to break BFBs into ceramic rushes instead of destroying them entirely, we found a very small damage buff resolves this up to r100, solving this problem for the base game modes, and while we were here added for the possibility for the ability to also deal consistant critical hits.
— Update notes

”

•  Ability: Damage increased ― 2,500 → 2,600
•  Ability: Now crits for 3,900 damage on every third activation

Version 35.0

“

We want the base Super Monkey to feel like more of a ‘weak for the cost’ stepping stone into T3s that feel more like T4s; but the base upgrade really does feel very outdated on this idea, and big crosspath problems exist due to this so we are moving some attack speed out from 2xx into the base upgrade.
— Update notes

”

•  Overall cost reduced by $1,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.048s → 0.036s (attack speed increased by 33.33%)
  • Note: Plasma Blasts crosspath remains at 0.024s

Version 38.0

“

We’ve wanted to try out this idea for a while, and finally thought why not. It seemed fun to test with, so we hope people can find some fun use for it in challenges.
— Update notes

”

0-4-1, 0-4-2

•  Knockback now causes the ability to knock back any surviving Bloons

Version 39.0

0-4-1, 0-4-2

•  Ability: No longer knocks Bloons forward in some cases (bug fix)

Version 41.0

“

We weren't sure we’d see the day but the bottom crosspath is now quite used on all Supers, especially so it seems to make Robo Monkey very powerful currently so to address a few different concerns on Super Monkey we’re moving costs from top to middle crosspath
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $19,000 → $18,000
  •  Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 42.0

“

We lowered the price of Tech Terrors to keep them ‘unchanged’ with Robo’s recent balancing, however in hindsight Robo is still too powerful and Tech Terrors themselves were already good enough that they really should’ve taken the hit along with Robo. Instead as they have risen in power even more, both of these upgrades are being properly nerfed now with a compensatory price buff to Anti-Bloon instead (hopefully not groundhogging to where Anti-Bloon becomes far too powerful and more changes are needed in v43)
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $18,000 → $25,000
  •  Overall cost increased by $7,500 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Attack cooldown increased ― 0.036s → 0.045s (attack speed reduced by 20%)
  • Stacks with 2-X-X Plasma Blasts crosspath ― 0.024s → 0.03s

Version 44.0

“

Robo monkey still holds its own for too long, easily working into its also very powerful Tech Terror upgrade.
— Update notes

”

•  Pierce reduced ― 9 → 8

Version 48.0

“

Tech Terror is a menace, [...]
— Update notes

”

•  Plasma: Pierce reduced ― 8 → 7

Version 51.0

1-4-0

•  Projectile radius increased ― 5 units → 10 units (bug fix)

2-4-0

•  Projectile radius increased ― 6 units → 11 units (bug fix)

Version 56.0

“

Robo Monkey will now default to First & Strong target priority on first purchase, as this was vastly the preferred choice.
— Update notes

”

•  Default targeting option changed ― First-Last → First-Strong
