'''Pirate Lord''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It decreases the [[attack cooldown]] of all attacks by 50%, ~~doubling~~ the Monkey Buccaneer's attack speed. ~~It also improves several of the Monkey Buccaneer's attacks:~~

'''Pirate Lord''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade decreases the [[attack cooldown]] of all attacks by 35%, increasing the Monkey Buccaneer's attack speed by ~53.8%. The grapes deal 8 [[damage]] and deal +4 [[Ceramic damage]] (instead of 4 and +2), and deal 9 damage per tick instead of 2. Cannonballs deal +8 MOAB-class damage instead of +5, and their fragments deal 6 damage and +3 MOAB-class damage.

This upgrade grants the [[Monkey Pirates (BTD6)|MOAB Takedown]] ability 6 hooks in total, and the capability of hooking [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]] at the cost of 3 hooks each. The ability's cooldown is decreased from 45 seconds to 30 seconds (25 seconds with {{BTD6 mk|Faster Takedowns}}), and hooked Bloons grant +100% increased pop income.

Pirate Lord is a solid Tier 5, dealing massively improved damage across the board compared to its predecessor, {{BTD6|Monkey Pirates}}. Like most Buccaneers, positioning it so that track surrounds it on opposing sides is essential, as its attacks can then activate from both sides. Its much improved hook ability means that its slight weakness against single-targets is mitigated in nearly all scenarios, except the Round 100 {{BTD6|BAD}}. The extra cash from its hooks can be used for income, especially when paired with {{BTD6|Rubber to Gold}}, though {{BTD6|XXXL Trap}} is generally superior for this purpose.

2-5-0 is the recommended crosspath in nearly all situations, thanks to the increased attack speed from {{BTD6|Faster Firing}} and more significant extra grape from [[Double Shot (BTD6) (Monkey Buccaneer)|Double Shot]]. However, the 0-5-2 Pirate Lord is useful for the [[All for one and one for one]] achievement without selling, which is most easily achieved on [[Logs]], [[Cubism]], [[Resort]], and [[Spa Pits]]. {{BTD6|Admiral Brickell}} is essential to Pirate Lord, thanks to her Level 8 pierce buff and Naval Tactics ability granting a 2x attack speed boost in addition to {{BTD6|DDT}}-popping power to the frags. The 4-2-0 {{BTD6|Stronger Stimulant}} is strongly recommended as well, due to the low pierce of frags, low grape pierce, and {{BTD6|Perishing Potions}} being needed for uptime.

In [[Race Event]]s, a non-crosspathed Pirate Lord can be used to grab multiple blimps instantly, especially if the last bloon is not a blimp (the takedown animation wastes time if they're the last target(s)). With [[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]], this saves money with sell-and-rebuy tricks.
