The Dart Monkey is an early game powerhouse that falls off in the late game. Its main draws are its good cost-to-DPS ratio for lower tiers and cheap [[Camo detection]] that lets the player save up for the mid game. In [[CHIMPS]] and [[Half Cash]] strategies, it's mostly used for its low tier upgrades; its higher tiers are niche. It benefits greatly from [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]], increasing its base [[pierce]] with {{BTD6 mk|Extra Dart Pops}} and providing one free use each game with {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}}.

==Base==

The base Dart Monkey (0-0-0) is useful early-game, but is usually upgraded quickly due to the extremely low price of its first and second tier upgrades. The {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]] negates the base Dart Monkey's cost the first time it is placed. Because of this, it can be placed in pretty much any game for essentially free early-game damage.

==Upgrades==

===Tier 2 and below===

*There are not many Tier 2 and below upgrades and their crosspaths that are notable enough on their own, except in early-game CHIMPS on difficult maps, which require some Dart Monkeys to be upgraded minimally (usually Tier 1).

===Path 1===

*[[Spike-o-pult (BTD6)|Spike-o-pult]] and [[Juggernaut (BTD6)|Juggernaut]] should be placed at the end of long straight sections of the path so their projectiles travel over as much of the path as possible. If the map has places surrounded by obstacles, place these towers in those places.
