'''Advanced Intel''' is the [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

'''Advanced Intel''' is the [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It allows the Monkey Sub to target Bloons within [[range]] of other towers, in addition to itself. Its main dart [[projectile]]s gain more projectile lifespan to account for the increased travel distance.

If another tower has [[Camo detection]], the Sub can target [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s within that tower's range, even if the Sub itself lacks Camo detection. If the Sub lacks Camo detection, its projectiles ignore Camo Bloons if it is not targeting a Camo Bloon when it fires; the Sub must specifically be targeting a Camo Bloon within the other tower's range for its projectiles to not pass through Camo. If the Sub has Camo detection, but not the other tower, then it cannot target Camo Bloons within the other tower's range, but its projectiles can still collide with Camo Bloons. Detecting Camo in range of another tower doesn't count as a camo buff, so it cannot be blocked by [[Phayze]]'s Radar Jam.

==Range mechanics==

{{Research|Confirm more complicated intel cases such as Beast Handler beasts}}

For the most part, Advanced Intel only targets Bloons within the "display range" of a tower. This means it only uses the small radii of [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]s and the landing pads of flying towers instead of their true range.

*[[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]s without beasts only count the handler's small attack range. Beast Handlers with beasts only count the range of their beasts. In both cases, the beast placement and merging radius is ignored.

*[[Master Builder#Green Sentry Paragon|Green Sentry Paragons]] behave as if their range is a 20-unit radius, even though their "display range" is 70 units.

*Most placeable [[Power]]s do not count, with the exception of the [[Cave Monkey]] and [[Banana Farmer Pro]] with the [[Banana Peels]] upgrade only.

==Strategy==

Advanced Intel is potent when used as a crosspath, allowing the Sub to reach further in the presence of range across the map and letting the Sub keep attacking bloons. It isn't recommend for the 2-0-0 due to its weak stats. It is strongly recommended for {{BTD6|Airburst Darts}} or above, which attack quickly and have sufficient DPS to be worth covering more range. For {{BTD6|Ballistic Missile}} and its succeeding upgrades, Advanced Intel is recommended on maps with alternating lanes, where global range is required for them to be useful on all rounds. However, on other maps, Advanced Intel falls short compared to Airburst Darts as a crosspath for them.

It's important to spread the intel range across the map so the Sub can attack often, particularly for bottom Subs. The 0-0-0 {{BTD6|Desperado}} is among the most cost-efficient for intel range, and the 0-1-0 Desperado is the cheapest for wide Camo range.
