Monkey Pirates is a decent T4 for early-to-midgame, breaking clumps of bloons fairly well and being able to hook blimps when needed. Its main attack remains relatively weak for single-target due to the frags not shotgunning, though this issue is somewhat mitigated by the ability. Like other Buccaneers, it is recommended to position it such that it can attack from both sides, which maximizes its popping power. Unlike most T4's, Monkey Pirates transitions relatively smoothly into [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]], particularly for [[CHIMPS]]. | Monkey Pirates is a decent T4 for early-to-midgame, breaking clumps of bloons fairly well and being able to hook blimps when needed.

Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 55.2
Monkey Pirates is a decent T4 for early-to-midgame, breaking clumps of bloons fairly well and being able to hook blimps when needed. Its main attack remains relatively weak for single-target due to the frags not shotgunning, though this issue is somewhat mitigated by the ability. Like other Buccaneers, it is recommended to position it such that it can attack from both sides, which maximizes its popping power. Unlike most T4's, Monkey Pirates transitions relatively smoothly into Pirate Lord, particularly for CHIMPS.
Although less dependent on external buffs compared to Destroyer, Monkey Pirates still appreciates from them. Berserker Brew and Stronger Stimulant pair well with Monkey Pirates due to the low pierce of grapes and Cannon frags. If using Monkey Pirates spam, Permanent Brew and Admiral Brickell are strongly recommended for their strong utilities.
Crosspaths for Monkey Pirates are similar to its T3 Cannon Ship. Faster Firing is recommended for maximum DPS, but Long Range shines for game modes that rely on high pierce, such as Race Events and CT Time Attack. Crow's Nest is recommended when innate Camo detection and DDT-hooking without Camo support is necessary, and Double Shot is unnecessary due to only adding 1 grape. Not crosspathing is only necessary for CT Least Tiers and custom challenges involving the hook ability.

Ability cooldown reduced ― 60s → 50s- Bomb attack: explosion damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Bomb attack: Now fires three bombs at a time

Before MOAB Takedown ability: Grapples a MOAB-Class Bloon and brings it down. After MOAB Takedown Ability: grapples a MOAB class bloon and brings it down. Main attack adds two more cannons.
- 2-4-0

Big Bunch)
- 0-4-2

- 0-4-2
- Bomb attack: Can hit Camo Bloons again (bug fix)
- MOAB Takedown: Multiple Monkey Buccaneers no longer target the same Bloon when activated at the same time (bug fix)
Resolved a bug where the MOAB Takedown ability would pick the wrong targets (bug fix)
“
Bottom crosspath feels behind compared to others here, so in addition to the new Camo Prioritization filter Longer Range on this path will now also grant bonus pierce.

”
- 0-4-1, 0-4-2
- Long Range now increases the pierce of Grape Shot by 1
“
The base Grape attack of T4 MOAB Takedown has had a ceramic bonus added to lead up to the T5 a little better.

— Update notes
”
- Grapes: Now gains bonus Ceramic damage ― +0 → +1
“
Monkey Pirates is great for the first couple MOABs but with the long ability cooldown it very quickly falls off after that point, we have pushed it and Pirate Lord’s base stats up to feel more competitive especially with possible Brickell synergy.

”
- Upgrade cost increased ― $4,500 → $4,900
- Grape: damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Grape: ceramic bonus increased ― +1 → +2
- Cannonball — explosion: base damage increased ― 2 → 3
- Cannonball — explosion: now deals +6 damage to MOAB-Class
“
We’ve realized that the 130 crosspath just hasn’t even been working for cannons, so we wanted to correct this so that people get all that they pay for with that crosspath, however middle path buccaneer at higher tiers has been overperforming significantly so in addition to this attack speed buff we have also balanced back out that difference in the opposite direction with a damage reduction.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- DoT: Damage per tick increased ― 1 → 2
- Bomb attack: Damage to MOAB-class reduced ― +6 → +3
- 1-4-0, 2-4-0
- Faster Shooting now reduces attack cooldown of the bomb attack by 25%
“
Reworking Grape Shot crosspathing as it gains far too much crosspath value by T2 but then is lacking in purpose at higher tiers, double shot will only work as one extra grape however Destroyer will now apply its full attack rate buff to the grapes and Flagship will equip aspects of Grape Shot on the mini planes.

”
- 2-4-0
- Grape Shot: projectiles reduced ― 10 → 6
“
Small tweaks to Buccaneer’s Long Range upgrade to improve its additional pierce benefit for a number of attacks.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- 0-4-1, 0-4-2
- Cannonball: Pierce increased ― 28 → 35
- Frag: Pierce increased ― 1 → 2
“
As noted earlier, Middle Path was identified as not having weakness to justify the power and is seeing changes related to that.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- MOAB Takedown: No longer detects Camo without Crow's Nest or external Camo detection
- Note: Required to hook in DDTs
- Frag: No longer hits the same Bloon as the initial bomb
“
Middle path buccaneer continues to attack with its initial 1 damage projectile that never gets upgraded but the Cannons are very much intended to be a ‘replacement’ upgrade to this main attack, so we are finally disabling that dart along with improving the damage of grapes for the T3 & T4 on this path so the lower tiers can save into Pirate Lord better.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Grape damage increased ― 2 → 3
- Main dart attack disabled
- Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
“
Middle Buccaneer has had mixed feedback with much disappointment that the focus of its balance changes haven’t been improvements for the ability, given this path has again lost considerable power we want to look more on both of those aspects this time.

”
- Grape: damage increased ― 3 → 5
- Note: Does not carry over to Pirate Lord
- Ability: cooldown reduced ― 50s → 45s
- Note: Does not carry over to Pirate Lord
“
MOAB damage stat buff for middle path's canons as a low portion of the total damage is dealt by these since the frags fix.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Cannon: explosion damage to MOAB-class increased ― +3 → +5
“
We’re currently happy with Pirate Lord, but Monkey Pirates has been hit hard by changes so cost is being pushed out of it to encourage multi mid path building.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $4,900 → $3,900
- Ability: can no longer target Dreadrock Bloons (bug fix)
“
Pirate Lord is seeing a stat reduction as it deals area damage too effectively to many targets.
