'''Energizer''' is the [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. This upgrade allows Monkey Sub to grant a buff to all towers on screen which reduces their [[Ability Cooldown|ability cooldowns]] by 20%. For water-based towers within its range, this buff reduces ability cooldowns by 50% instead of 20%. Heroes within its range gain +50% [[Hero#Experience|XP]] from the ends of rounds and sacrifices (not from purchasing levels).

This upgrade also improves Monkey Sub's attack. The [[pierce]] of both its decamo and damage auras are increased to 1000, and its damage aura's damage is increased from 1 to 5 with additional +5 [[Ceramic damage]]. This upgrade increases the damage of Monkey Sub's darts from 2 to 5 while not submerged.

Energizer is a multi-purpose tower that excels in certain scenarios. It is the most potent in [[Freeplay]] and against [[Boss Bloon]]s, where its cooldown reduction is essential for towers like {{B|Ultraboost|BTD6}} and {{B|Homeland Defense|BTD6}}. In the farming process of these game modes, Energizer is also crucial due to it reducing cooldowns for money generators as well. However, when using {{B|Adora|BTD6}} in Freeplay, submerging [[Nautic Siege Core]] is recommended, making Energizer redundant for the final setup in that scenario.

In other game modes, Energizer's main use is allowing slower-leveling [[Hero]]es reach higher levels before Round 100. The Heroes that benefit the most are {{B|Admiral Brickell|BTD6}}, {{B|Psi|BTD6}}, {{B|Captain Churchill|BTD6}}, and {{B|Sauda|BTD6}}. In particular, Admiral Brickell's powerful Naval Tactics and Mega Mines abilities have their cooldowns halved, making her work especially well with Energizer. The ability cooldown reduction to towers is a good bonus, but it is not sufficient on its own to justify using Energizer outside of Freeplay and Boss Bloon battles. 5-0-1 is the optimal crosspath, as the extra pierce from 5-2-0 is redundant and 5-0-1's superior attack speed allows for better cleanup of {{B|Super Ceramic Bloon|BTD6}}s.
