'''Super Monkey Fan Club''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~Super~~ Monkey ~~Fan Club~~ grants an [[Activated Ability~~|ability~~]] ~~which~~ transforms 9 other ~~dart monkeys~~ and itself into fast-attacking ~~super monkeys~~ for 15 seconds with ~~a [[Cooldown]]~~ of 50 seconds. ~~This~~ ability can only transform up to (2-4~~-2) dart monkeys (cannot transform~~ [[~~Crossbow~~ (BTD6)|~~Crossbows~~]] or [[~~Spike-o-pult (BTD6)~~|~~Spike-o-pults~~]]~~). Additionally, this tower reduces attack cooldown by 50% (increases attack speed by +100%)~~.

'''Super Monkey Fan Club''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces the Dart Monkey's attack cooldown by 50%, resulting in an [[attack speed]] increase of 100%, and grants an [[Activated Ability]] that transforms up to 9 other Dart Monkeys and itself into fast-attacking [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkeys]] for 15 seconds, with an ability cooldown of 50 seconds. The ability can only transform Path 1 and Path 3 Dart Monkeys up to tier 2, and Path 2 Dart Monkeys up to tier 4. Transformed Dart Monkeys retain their crosspath buffs, other than [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]]'s extra [[Projectile|projectiles]].

== Super Monkey Fan Club Ability ==

While under transformation, Dart Monkeys have an attack cooldown of 0.~~06s~~ and pierce of 2 by default. ~~Additionally, they~~ inherit any [[~~pierce~~]]~~, attack speed~~, [[range]], and [[Camo ~~Bloon (BTD6)|Camo~~]] ~~detection~~ upgrades, and are given a minimum range of 40. They do not inherit the increased projectile count from [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]].

While under transformation, Dart Monkeys have an attack cooldown of ~0.06 seconds and a [[pierce]] of 2 by default. They inherit any pierce, [[attack speed]], [[range]], and [[Camo detection]] upgrades, and are given a minimum range of 40. They do not inherit the increased [[projectile]] count from [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]].

It prioritizes transforming non-transformed ~~dart monkeys~~ closest to the one that activates the ability. If fewer than 9 non-transformed Dart Monkeys exist on the map, the ability ~~re-applies the transformation to some~~ transformed Dart Monkeys~~, if any are present~~. This resets the transformation time of that Dart Monkey to 15 seconds.

The ability prioritizes transforming non-transformed Dart Monkeys closest to the one that activates the ability. If fewer than 9 non-transformed Dart Monkeys exist on the map, the ability can transform already transformed Dart Monkeys. This resets the transformation time of that Dart Monkey back to 15 seconds.

Super Monkey Fan Club is ~~best used~~ with ~~cooldown reduction towers~~, ~~such as~~ [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]], or some form of stalling such as [[Horned Owl]]~~, due~~ to ~~its long cooldown~~ of ~~50 seconds~~. It is ~~useful to provide extra~~ DPS ~~when necessary for a short period of time~~.

Super Monkey Fan Club is a cheap but very high DPS burst option when paired with Bloon debuffs. In particular, it has an excellent synergy with [[Super Brittle (BTD6)|Super Brittle]], greatly increasing the fan club's damage and allowing {{BTD6|DDT}} popping, and [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] for the free T1 upgrades and ability cooldown reduction. The next best towers for SMFC are [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]], as well as some form of stalling such as [[Horned Owl]]. Due to the low uptime of the ability, it is best used in tandem with another win condition, but near-full uptime can be achieved with multiple SMFCs. This tower's main use case outside of [[CHIMPS]] is DPS against Bosses, particularly in [[Boss Rush]].

The transformed ~~dart monkeys~~ are best upgraded to ~~Razor Sharp Shots and Very Quick Shots~~ to maximize pierce and attack speed, but ~~Enhanced Eyesight~~ can be bought ~~when~~ Camo detection is ~~necessary or the Dart Monkey is in a spot where it would benefit~~ more ~~from range~~ than pierce, ~~like being far from the track.~~ [[~~Primary Mentoring~~ (BTD6)|~~Primary Mentoring~~]] ~~also helps with the fact that it gives free tier 1 upgrades, making the purchase of the Dart Monkeys~~ for ~~transformation way cheaper.~~

The transformed Dart Monkeys are best upgraded to 2-2-0 to maximize pierce and attack speed, but 0-2-2 can be bought if the extra track coverage and/or Camo detection is more useful than the pierce. After the upgrades have been bought, [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]] can be considered to grant another speed boost for a low cost.

~~This upgrade should mainly be used as~~ a ~~stepping stone to the more powerful Plasma Monkey Fan Club~~.
