'''Monarch of Storms''' ('''Superstorm''' prior to {{BTD6 version|50.0}}) is the [[Druid (BTD6)|Druid]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It adds the superstorm attack and improves the [[Ball Lightning (BTD6)|Ball Lightning]] tower by increasing the damage of the [[Heart of Thunder (BTD6)|Heart of Thunder]] lightning attacks from 3 to 30, and lightning produced by lightning balls<!--is that orb called a "lightning ball"?--> from 3 to 10.

The superstorm is a slow moving projectile that does 120 damage and inflicts [[Blowback|blowback]] on [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, with a minimum of 100 units (half the value<!--no not just 50, the rng value is halved--> if it's a [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]]). The superstorm projectile also fires out a ball lightning projectile every second; this ball lightning is fired in a randomized direction within 180° of the superstorm's fired direction. Superstorm projectiles ignore walls and can bounce off map borders, consumes more pierce on blimps (MOAB: 5, BFB: 15, ZOMG: 45, DDT: 8), can target [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s but not [[Boss Bloon]]s, has 200 pierce, and lasts up to 12.8571s (17.1429s with 5-0-1). It attacks every 4 seconds, and trigger on any target.<!--there's a difference between the attack detecting BADs and Bosses vs the proj targeting BADs and Bosses--> Monarch of Storms is able to detect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]].

As a MOAB-stalling tower, Monarch of Storms is typically not worth the price in most gamemodes when its own damage is low, and other Tier 5 MOAB-stalling towers, such as [[Bloon Crush (BTD6)|Bloon Crush]], [[Icicle Impale (BTD6)|Icicle Impale]], or [[Super Glue (BTD6)|Super Glue]] can be afforded earlier. One exception is in [[Boss Rush]], where Monarch of Storms has found a niche in blowing back leaking MOABs and DDTs against [[Phayze]], and by extension, other bosses, when the boss nears the end of the track. If focusing on Monarch of Storms as a DPS carry, use [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]] to boost its attack speed, and have enough mid-game MOAB damage and BAD damage.
Monarch of Storms has a steep cost compared to cheaper options (such as {{BTD6|Icicle Impale}} or {{BTD6|Super Glue}}). For a similar price, [[Bloon Crush (BTD6)|Bloon Crush]] is generally more consistent for the stalling role unless Monarch of Storms gains enough speed buffs (e.g. [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplust]]) for the differences in damage and crowd control to matter. However, Monarch of Storms's single-target damage is not bad, due to the rehitting superstorms, but fails to be effective in Boss Events due to the lack of Boss damage on its superstorms, though in [[Boss Rush]] it has a niche for blowing back leaking MOABs and DDTs against especially [[Phayze]]. Monarch is not compatible with extreme [[Freeplay (BTD6)|Freeplay]] strategies due to the superstorms removing all of [[Herald of Everfrost]]'s debuffs.


For crosspaths, 5-0-2 is the preferred crosspath, due to extra attack speed and lifespan. 5-2-0 is redundant unless wanting [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]]'s pierce buffs with life gains, but it rarely pierce caps in most situations regardless.
5-0-2 is the preferred crosspath, due to the increased attack speed and projectile lifespan. 5-2-0 is redundant as pierce is rarely an issue.
