~~The~~ '''Sharpened Darts Lab''' is a [[Support]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It is [[temporary]] and instead of being able to attack, each time the player plays a [[Primary]] Monkey, it consumes 1 ammo and causes that Monkey to attack a random enemy Bloon, without consuming its ammo. The attack triggers before ~~the Monkey receives~~ any ATK modifiers from other Monkeys (e.g. [[Dart Monkey Twins]] or [[Monkey Village (BCS)|Monkey Village]]) or ~~being on~~ [[Game Night]]. The attack inherits any bonuses that Monkey has (e.g. [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]]'s scaling per pop, [[Missile Launcher (BCS)|Missile Launcher]]'s double attack, [[Sharp Shooter (BCS)|Sharp Shooter]]'s first shot bonus). The Sharpened Darts Lab's ammo is used ~~even~~ if ~~there~~ are ~~no enemy~~ Bloons.

The Sharpened Darts Lab's ammo can still be used if opponent has no Bloons on their side.

The card artwork depicts a [[Dart Monkey]] inside a training zone with many darts, the monkey delightfully holding an enhanced dart, with the Sharpening Darts building at the back of the enclosed wooden fencing. Many darts are stuck onto various surfaces, including the ground, straw Bloons, and a bullseye target.

==Tips==

*For its price, it's fairly strong as a secondary source of damage, provided Primary Monkeys with high Attack Power are used.

*For its price, it's fairly strong as a secondary source of damage, provided Primary Monkeys with high Attack Power are used. Because it falls off later in the game, use it with an aggressive loadout.

**[[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]] is a cheap but efficient choice. [[Bomb Bloon (BCS)|Bomb Bloon]]'s bonus Bomb Shooters synergizes with this dual combo.

**Because Sharpened Darts Lab is affected by the card effects of Primary Monkeys, [[Sharp Shooter (BCS)|Sharp Shooter]] and [[Missile Launcher (BCS)|Missile Launcher]] are good candidates for the high damage. So is [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] if there's many Bloons~~. Also~~, [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]] ~~can scale with~~ a ~~minor~~ headstart ~~if able to pop a weakened Bloon~~.

So is [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] if there's many Bloons, [[Bloon Impact (BCS)|Bloon Impact]] for support with Heroes that can't grant extra ammo, or [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]] to potentially gain a headstart.

*Its cheap cost allows it to be functional support during the early-game.

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a buff to Sharpened Darts Lab by decreasing its Gold cost from 2 to 1, which was left unchanged for the update.
