'''Super Monkey Fan Club''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Super Monkey Fan Club grants an [[Activated Ability|ability]] that transforms up to 9 other Dart Monkeys and itself into fast-attacking super monkeys for 15 seconds with a [[Cooldown]] of 50 seconds. This ability can only transform up to 2-4-2 Dart Monkeys (cannot transform [[Crossbow (BTD6)|Crossbows]] or [[Spike-o-pult (BTD6)|Spike-o-pults]], nor [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|Plasma Monkey Fan Club]]). Additionally, this tower reduces attack cooldown by 50% (increases attack speed by +100%). All transformed Dart Monkeys inherit crosspathed buffs except [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]]'s extra projectiles.

The ability can only transform Path 1 and Path 3 Dart Monkeys up to tier 2, and Path 2 Dart Monkeys up to tier 4. Transformed Dart Monkeys retain their crosspath buffs, other than [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]]'s extra [[Projectile|projectiles]].

While under transformation, Dart Monkeys have an attack cooldown of 0.06s and pierce of 2 by default. Additionally, they inherit any [[pierce]], attack speed, [[range]], and [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection upgrades, and are given a minimum range of 40.<!--before blasta?--> They do not inherit the increased projectile count from [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]].

It prioritizes transforming non-transformed dart monkeys closest to the one that activates the ability. If fewer than 9 non-transformed Dart Monkeys exist on the map, the ability re-applies the transformation to some transformed Dart Monkeys, if any are present. This resets the transformation time of that Dart Monkey to 15 seconds.

If fewer than 9 non-transformed Dart Monkeys exist on the map, the ability can transform already transformed Dart Monkeys.

Super Monkey Fan Club is best used with cooldown reduction towers, such as [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]], or some form of stalling such as [[Horned Owl]], due to its long cooldown. It is useful to provide extra DPS when necessary for a short period of time.
Super Monkey Fan Club is a cheap but very high DPS burst option when paired with Bloon debuffs. In particular, it has an excellent synergy with [[Super Brittle (BTD6)|Super Brittle]], greatly increasing the fan club's damage and allowing {{BTD6|DDT}} popping, and [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] for the free T1 upgrades and ability cooldown reduction. The next best towers for SMFC are [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]], as well as some form of stalling such as [[Horned Owl]]. Due to the low uptime of the ability, it is best used in tandem with another win condition, but near-full uptime can be achieved with multiple SMFCs. This tower's main use case outside of [[CHIMPS]] is DPS against Bosses, particularly in [[Boss Rush]].


The transformed dart monkeys are best upgraded to [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]] and [[Very Quick Shots (BTD6)|Very Quick Shots]] to maximize pierce and attack speed, but [[Enhanced Eyesight (BTD6)|Enhanced Eyesight]] can be bought when Camo detection is necessary or the Dart Monkey is in a spot where it would benefit more from range than pierce. [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] also helps with the fact that it gives free tier 1 upgrades, making the purchase of the Dart Monkeys for transformation way cheaper.
The transformed Dart Monkeys are best upgraded to 2-2-0 to maximize pierce and attack speed, but 0-2-2 can be bought if the extra track coverage and/or Camo detection is more useful than the pierce. After the upgrades have been bought, [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]] can be considered to grant another speed boost for a low cost.
 
This upgrade should mainly be used as a stepping stone to the more powerful Plasma Monkey Fan Club. However, the Fan Club combined with a [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]] setup, for maximum speed-to-cost efficiency, can be combined with debuffs such as [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]] or [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] for solid DPS against Bosses in [[Boss Rush]].
 
For crosspaths, they matter more for each transformed Dart Monkey, with pierce being preferred in general cases, but range for coverage and if Camo detection is required.
