While under transformation, Dart Monkeys have an attack cooldown of ~0.06 seconds and a [[pierce]] of 2 by default. They inherit any pierce, [[attack speed]], [[range]], and [[Camo detection]] upgrades, and are given a minimum range of 40.~~~~ They do not inherit the increased projectile count from [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]].

They inherit any pierce, [[attack speed]], [[range]], and [[Camo detection]] upgrades, and are given a minimum range of 40. They do not inherit the increased [[projectile]] count from [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]].

The ability 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 can transform already transformed Dart Monkeys. This resets the transformation time of that Dart Monkey back to 15 seconds.

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~~.
