'''Monkey Intelligence Bureau''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants towers the capability to pop [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black]], [[White Bloon (BTD6)|White]], [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple]], [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]], and [[Frozen Bloon (BTD6)|Frozen]] properties,{{Fn|It does not allow the Heli Pilot's [[Downdraft (BTD6)|Downdraft]] upgrade to blow back Lead Bloons, which may be a bug. Ice Monkeys always can pop Frozen but generally cannot target them unless given [[Re-Freeze (BTD6)|Re-Freeze]].}}, giving them the equivalent of {{BTD6 dt|Normal}} [[damage type]]<!--not a subst for normal type, just more popping--> against all except [[Glass Bloon (BTD6)|Glass Bloon]]s, though it does allow {{BTD6 dt|Acid}} damage to pop Glass Bloons. It does not actually change other towers' damage types, still allowing interactions like [[Sharpening Stone]] on towers with {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}}-type attacks. The Monkey Intelligence Bureau's buff also grants targeting of Lead and Purple properties (e.g. for [[Psi (BTD6)|Psi]] before level 6 or 11 respectively), but will not grant targeting of other Bloon properties, including Frozen and MOAB-Class.

This allows some towers that cannot target immune Bloons to become able to target them; for example, this allows [[Psi (BTD6)|Psi]] to target [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s and [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s before levels 6 and 11, respectively (but does not allow them to target Ceramic Bloons before level 7, as that does not depend on Psi's damage type). For the most part, mechanics that apply to projectiles with specific damage types (such as [[Sharpening Stone]], [[Flint Tips]], and [[Galvanic Conduit]]'s first and second combo effects) ignore this buff; they still apply to projectiles that have the corresponding damage types by default.<section end="lede" />

Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple but expensive solution to countering Bloon properties; its main strength compared to alternatives is the lack of reliance on timing, due to its 100% uptime buffs. However, cheaper supports, such as [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], are more cost-efficient and provide extra benefits, [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] is able to cover all DDT rounds in CHIMPS (including round 95), and [[Hero (BTD6)|Hero]] buffs (e.g. [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]], [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]]) are preferred if revolving around specific towers.

However, cheaper supports, such as [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], are more cost-efficient and provide extra benefits. For dedicated strategies revolving around specific towers, it is preferred to use specific [[Hero (BTD6)|Hero]] buffs (e.g. [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]], [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]]), or use [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] to handle [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s (which is able to cover all DDT rounds in [[CHIMPS]], including round 95).


Most of the time, MIB is used to counter the Lead and Black properties of DDTs, or prevent anti-synergy with Frozen Bloons (e.g. [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]], [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]]). This buff also opens up crosspaths that are much stronger than the one that pops all Bloon types (e.g. 5-2-0 [[Glaive Lord (BTD6)|Glaive Lord]] over 5-0-2). In niche uses, it can be used on a high-pierce tower that only has damage type weaknesses, such as [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]] in [[Race]]s<!--not worth vs bloonarius clumps; ~11k supp, rcsv not solo ceramic assure--> when better options (e.g. 4-0-2 [[MOAR Glaives (BTD6)|MOAR Glaives]] or [[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]]) are not available.

Monkey Intelligence Bureau
Portrait of Monkey Intelligence Bureau
Icon of Monkey Intelligence BureauThe Bureau grants special Bloon popping knowledge, allowing nearby Monkeys to pop all Bloon types.
Tower Monkey Village — Path 2 — Tier 3
XP cost 3,500
Cash cost $6,375 — Easy
$7,500 — Medium
$8,100 — Hard
$9,000 — Impoppable

Monkey Intelligence Bureau is the Monkey Village's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. This upgrade unlocks an additional buff applied to towers within range that causes all their projectiles, damage over time, and other sources of damage to deal Normal-type damage, effectively allowing them to ignore all Bloon immunities. This allows some towers that cannot target immune Bloons to become able to target them; for example, this allows Psi to target Lead Bloons and Purple Bloons before levels 6 and 11, respectively (but does not allow them to target Ceramic Bloons before level 7, as that does not depend on Psi's damage type). For the most part, mechanics that apply to projectiles with specific damage types (such as Sharpening Stone, Flint Tips, and Galvanic Conduit's first and second combo effects) ignore this buff; they still apply to projectiles that have the corresponding damage types by default.

Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple but expensive solution to countering Bloon properties; its main strength compared to alternatives is the lack of reliance on timing, due to its 100% uptime buffs. However, cheaper supports, such as Glue Strike and Embrittlement, are more cost-efficient and provide extra benefits. For dedicated strategies revolving around specific towers, it is preferred to use specific Hero buffs (e.g. Gwendolin, Striker Jones), or use Glue Storm to handle DDTs (which is able to cover all DDT rounds in CHIMPS, including round 95).

Most of the time, MIB is used to counter the Lead and Black properties of DDTs, or prevent anti-synergy with Frozen Bloons (e.g. Snowstorm, Silas). This buff also opens up crosspaths that are much stronger than the one that pops all Bloon types (e.g. 5-2-0 Glaive Lord over 5-0-2). In niche uses, it can be used on a high-pierce tower that only has damage type weaknesses, such as Recursive Cluster in Races when better options (e.g. 4-0-2 MOAR Glaives or Ice Shards) are not available.
