'''Symphonic Resonance''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. | '''Symphonic Resonance''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It increases the Mermonkey's [[range]] from 28 units to 32 units and enhances the trance [[attack]]. It now has 12 pierce instead of 6 (still gaining +2 pierce from the [[Sharper Prongs]] [[crosspath]]), no longer consumes +1 pierce from [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s, can deal up to 125 damage from detonating [[damage over time]] instead of 50, and can now pull [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]s and [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s into its trance (with MOABs consuming +2 pierce and DDTs consuming +3). Tranced MOAB-Class Bloons orbit at one-third the speed of regular Bloons. | ||
This upgrade also unlocks a [[Monkey Special]] that allows the player to place a totem [[sub-tower]] anywhere within the Mermonkey's range, which causes the trance to emit from the totem instead of the Mermonkey. The player can also use the Monkey Special to remove the totem and return the trance attack to the Mermonkey, with a 6-second cooldown before the player can place the totem again.<section end="lede"/> | |||

Symphonic Resonance | {{BTD6 last updated|53.2|section=y}} | ||
Symphonic Resonance aids stalling and improving focus of low-range, radial towers onto tranced blimps. However, ever since removing the BFB pull, the Symphonic Resonance's only distinct values compared to [[Giant Condor]], a similar blimp-repositioning tower, is its effectiveness at stalling multiple DDTs at once, and reliably move them to the range of other DDT supports such as [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]]. The improved max instant DoT detonation damage and lack of Ceramic penalty are less significant, though the latter helps cement its late-game by not having too much pierce clogged by Super Ceramics. Since tranced Bloons can be re-targeted by the trance, each trance essentially has a maximum capacity; at base pierce, it can only pull up to 3 DDTs or 4 MOABs. | |||
Path 1's benefits are preferred if revolving around the DoT detonation, but otherwise the Symphonic Resonance's crosspathing benefits are minor. +2 pierce from [[Sharper Prongs]] alone is not enough to let Symphonic Resonance pull in an extra blimp (as its pierce cannot be overflown), but does reduce wastage on smaller Bloons; with other pierce buffs as well (e.g. [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]]'s Level 8+<!--the brickell no mermonkey is only the no navaltactics--> passive pierce buff), the 0-1-4 crosspath's benefits are worth it over 2-0-4. 0-2-4 is no different from 0-1-4 other than larger freezing tridents. | |||
