'''Primary Expertise''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It improves the buff given to [[Primary]] towers in its range to increase pierce by +3 instead of +1, provide free tier 1 and 2 upgrades, and reduce [[Activated Ability|ability]] cooldowns by 20%~~. It also increases range of the Monkey Village by 7 [[Unit|units]]~~.

'''Primary Expertise''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It improves the buff given to [[Primary]] towers in its range to increase pierce by +3 instead of +1, provide free tier 1 and 2 upgrades, and reduce [[Activated Ability|ability]] cooldowns by 25%.

This upgrade adds a Mega Ballista attack with ~~the following features:~~

This upgrade adds a Mega Ballista attack that has infinite range, has 100 pierce, and does 10 {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}-type damage, +270 Ceramic damage, and +270 MOAB-class damage, with an [[attack cooldown]] of 2.5 seconds. It can naturally detect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. After hitting a target, it can ricochet between up to 90 units between targets, with a short delay between ricochets.

* 10 damage

** 200 [[Ceramic damage]]

'''Note:''' Does not include the Village buffs.

** 200 [[MOAB-Class damage]]

* 100 pierce

** Damaging [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] uses up 10 pierce instead of 1

* 2.~~5s attack cooldown~~

* Infinite range

* [[Damage#Normal / Acid|Normal damage type]] and can target [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]]

* Bounces to nearby targets on hit

Primary Expertise can be used to support strategies involving heavy use of [[Primary]] towers by increasing their pierce and further decreasing their ability cooldowns. However, outside of allowing certain T5 abilities to have more than full uptime with [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]] (e.g. 2-5-0 [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]], 0-5-2 [[Super Maelstrom (BTD6)|Super Maelstrom]]), this support usually isn't worth the price tag, and the village is often better kept as [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] or [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]] with the cash spent on other support towers. In [[Boss Bloon Event|Boss Bloon Events]] or [[Freeplay]], Primary Expertise's cooldown reduction is valuable in reducing the cooldown of [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]].

Providing free tier 2 upgrades allows for very cheap spam of tier 2 or 3 Primary towers inside its range. Candidates for this strategy include [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]] or [[Cluster Bombs (BTD6)|Cluster Bombs]] spam strategies.

The Mega Ballista attack on the Primary Expertise can one-shot [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramic Bloons]] but is slow-firing and its seeking isn't always accurate. It performs worse against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] due to its large pierce penalty. This attack should not be relied upon to do any meaningful damage or cleanup, and the ballista kills any end-of-round stall.
