'''Primal Instinct''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|48.0}}. It increases the [[attack speed]] of [[Primary]] Monkeys when they are set to Close [[Targeting option|targeting]]. This bonus does not affect track-based Close targeting (~~via~~ class-~~specific buffs~~ such as [[Master of all Trades~~]] for [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory~~]]). The benefit increases with the rarity of the Artifact. The description actually states the attack cooldown reduction rather than the attack speed increase, in contrast with most Artifacts.

This Artifact ~~represents~~ a tradeoff between attack speed an the ability to use more "useful" targeting options like First or Strong, or even Last with Monkeys that like long straights, making it difficult to concentrate damage on high health targets or to catch stray Bloons, so it is recommended to micro their targeting options, have a non-Primary Tower to perform those tasks or to spread more Towers across the map. [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooters]] without [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]] and ~~top~~ / ~~middle path~~ [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkeys]] always benefit from this Artifact because their only targeting option is Close (which is not shown in the Tower's menu).

*This Artifact offers a tradeoff between attack speed an the ability to use more "useful" targeting options like First or Strong, or even Last with Monkeys that like long straights, making it difficult to concentrate damage on high health targets or to catch stray Bloons, so it is recommended to micro their targeting options, have a non-Primary Tower to perform those tasks or to spread more Towers across the map. [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooters]] without [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]] and path 1 / 2 [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkeys]] always benefit from this Artifact because their only targeting option is Close (which is not shown in the Tower's menu).

*As the campaign progresses, the accumulation of Artifacts makes the targeting option limitation irrelevant and after obtaining [[Essence Of Dreadbloon]] or similar Artifacts.

As the campaign progresses, the accumulation of Artifacts makes the targeting option limitation irrelevant and after obtaining [[Essence Of Dreadbloon]] or similar Artifacts~~, this~~ benefit can be extended to other towers, with X-X-2+ [[~~Spike Factory~~ (BTD6)|~~Spike Factories~~]] being among the prime candidates as they ~~don't mind being stuck on~~ Close targeting.

**This benefit can be extended to other towers, with 1+-x-x [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]s being among the prime candidates, as they scale much better with all speed buffs and the Close targeting matters less.
