Ultraboost (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Ultraboost''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Engineer Monkey's [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]] [[Activated Ability]] with the Ultraboost ability, which on top of the Overclock effect, permanently reduces attack cooldown by 4% and increases range by 2.5% on [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Villages]]. This buff stacks up to 10 times additively on a single tower. The permanent cooldown decrease also applies to [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farms]], making them produce more cash per round permanently. Ultraboost and Overclock buffs do not stack with each other, though both stack with the permanent boosts. The Ultraboost has a 10s shorter cooldown than the tier 4 ability at 35s, and the buff lasts 60s on all towers regardless of tier. The Ultraboost ability can only be used 10 times per round by a single Engineer Monkey, unlike Overclock which can be used without limit. Ultraboost's cooldown also resets to full when this tower is upgraded.  

In addition to the ability changes, Ultraboost gains +15 pierce on its main attack, and +15 pierce on its foam.

 

Due to its high price, Ultraboost is rarely viable in CHIMPS Mode and most standard game modes. However, it is invaluable during Boss events and Freeplay due to the strong permanent buffs it provides to towers over time. The most powerful towers such as [[VTSG|(Vengeful)]] [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun Gods]] should be given 10x Ultraboost stacks as soon as possible, along with strong tier 5 towers such as [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]] and [[Super Mines (BTD6)|Super Mines]]. Ultraboosting a [[Banana Central (BTD6)|Banana Central]] increases its cash production substantially, which is especially useful during Boss events. Note that [[Lych]] steals both the permanent and temporary buff of towers in range when it absorbs buffs, which heals the boss. If using Ultraboost against Lych, try to keep boosted towers far away from Lych during tiers 1-4, and do not use Ultraboost at all during tier 5.

 

As a supportive tower, Ultraboost is a very poor damage dealer by itself despite the fact that it gains pierce. It usually should not be crosspathed at all, since none of the crosspaths improve the ability.
