'''Sub Commander''' is the [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Monkey Sub a buff to all Monkey Subs in its range (or to all Monkey Subs on the screen with {{BTD6 mk|Sub Admiral}}), including itself. This buff doubles affected Monkey Subs' damage including bonus damage, and increases [[pierce]] by +4. This buff does not double the damage of [[First Strike Capability (BTD6)|First Strike Capability]] and [[Pre-emptive Strike (BTD6)|Pre-emptive Strike's]] abilities, but it does increase the pierce of the abilities' explosions.

Sub Commander is a decent ~~T5 with~~ all-round ~~stats for a~~ T5 that has accurate high-projectile shots. ~~Not only~~ can it ~~carry grouped rounds~~ with ~~ease if afforded before~~ Round 63, ~~its special buffs benefit~~ Sub ~~armies significantly~~.

Sub Commander is a decent all-round T5 that has accurate high-projectile shots. It has a relatively smooth save-up from {{BTD6|Armor Piercing Darts}} and performs relatively well in the mid-game, with its biggest hurdles being Rounds 63 and 75, whose {{BTD6|Lead Bloon}}s can block it. Crosspathing with {{BTD6|Advanced Intel}} is preferred, as {{BTD6|Heat-tipped Darts}}'s innate Lead-popping is outweighed by its limited range. Sub Commander also pairs well with {{BTD6|Stronger Stimulant}}, thanks to the damage, pierce, and attack speed boosts all helping its better-splitting darts.

Sub Commander by itself struggles past Round 80, especially against {{BTD6|DDT}}s, even with Heat-tipped Darts. Thus, it is generally used with other Subs that it can buff, with {{BTD6|Pre-emptive Strike}} being a strong pairing in [[CHIMPS]] due to the latter taking down all DDTs (including Fortified) with it and having other utilities. {{BTD6|Ballistic Missile}}s are recommended to round out the setup for compact maps where all lanes intersect, while {{BTD6|Triple Guns}} and/or Armor Piercing Darts are recommended on maps with alternating lanes. {{BTD6|Admiral Brickell}} is recommended, and Sub Commander + Triple Guns spam is also a strong option for Least Cash Ranked Bosses, especially [[Phayze]].
