'''Overclock''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (Battles 2)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It grants the Overclock [[Activated Ability]], which allows the player to apply a temporary [[buff]] to any [[tower]] (except [[sub-tower]]s) of their choosing. For most towers, it reduces the [[attack cooldown]] of the target tower and all of its sub-towers<!-~~-Sentries yes, but carrier planes and minicomanches?-->~~ by 40%, increasing its [[attack speed]] by ~66.7%. For [[Banana Farm (Battles 2)|Banana Farm]]s, their income is increased by 50%, rounded up to the nearest whole number. If used on a [[Monkey Village (Battles 2)|Monkey Village]], it increases its [[range]] by 25%. The attack speed buff also works on [[Primary Expertise (Battles 2)|Primary Expertise]]. The duration of the buff depends on the target's current [[upgrade]] tier and ~~does decrease~~ if the target upgrades while the buff is active. [[Hero (Battles 2)|Hero]] tiers count as <code>floor(level/4)</code>, maxing at Tier 5 at level 20.

==Strategy==

Overclock is a valuable buff going into the 20's rounds. Not only is it great for buffing single powerful towers to massively improve their DPS, it is a great option with Farms, such as [[Banana Research Facility (Battles 2)|Banana Research Facility]], to maximize income generation from Farms in strategies such as Ace-Farm-Engineer. The uptime is not 100% on Tier 5's, so caution should be made to manage uptime on Tier 5's by selling and rebuying the buff if needed.

Specific to Farms, all T4 and T5 Farms benefit a lot from Overclock, except path 2, since the buff can't affect the Farm's activated abilities. For [[Monkey Wall Street (Battles 2)|Monkey Wall Street]], always ensure that the Overclock buff remains on it before the round ends, thereby gaining a cash boost that's big enough for the buff to always matter on it even with sell and rebuy action.

For specific high-DPS towers, it pairs best on towers such as [[Spectre (Battles 2)|Spectre]], [[Flying Fortress (Battles 2)|Flying Fortress]], and [[M.A.D (Battles 2)|M.A.D]], which are easy to control their aim and have long range. Many other high-DPS options like [[Sentry Champion (Battles 2)|Sentry Champion]] and [[Super Mines (Battles 2)|Super Mines]] are also recommended.
