~~The~~ '''Extra-Super Monkey''' is a [[Magic]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|6.0}}. It gains +5 ATK for every Gold spent. ~~Its~~ cost is equal to the player's current Gold.

'''Extra-Super Monkey''' is a [[Magic]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|6.0}}. It gains +5 ATK for every Gold spent. When played manually or from a [[Pick]] card, its cost in Gold will scale to equal the player's current Gold; [[Nature's Clarity]] will create shield equal to that value. Playing it for free via [[Monkey Summons]] will count as if no Gold was spent.

The card artwork depicts an Extra-Super Monkey posing for a smartphone selfie with two Super Monkey Fan Club leaders, signing an autograph at the same time. In the background are office buildings, plus a flying [[Super Monkey]] looking curious at the Extra-Super Monkey. The foreground is set at a sidewalk.

==Tips==

*Extra-Super Monkey is a strong one-reload Monkey that is better than the [[Wizard Monkey (BCS)|Wizard Monkey]] in situations where a lot of Gold may sit around. It's good for anti-aggro and control decks, however early on it still requires supports to handle stronger Bloons.

**At 10 Gold, the max Gold earning that can be earned from eco alone, Extra-Super Monkey starts with 70 ATK.

**With 14 Gold spent, Extra-Super Monkey starts with 90 ATK, giving the same DPT as [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]].

**At max Gold, it starts with 120 ATK, one of the highest DPT stats for any one-reload Monkey. A [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]], [[The Big One (BCS)|The Big One]], and infinitely scaled [[Wizard Monkey (BCS)|Wizard Monkey]]s are the only 1 reload monkeys that deal more DPT, and [[Total Transformation Monkey|Total Transformation]] ties.

*Against [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]], its high attack when given enough investment can be a decent way to deal damage to the Boss, especially when given Temporary Ammo from cards such as [[Berserker Brew (BCS)|Berserker Brew]] or Striker Jones's Ammo Stores passive. Be wary of high cost Monkey removal however, as Extra Super Monkey counts as the Gold cost it was played at.

*Using ammo buffing sources is highly recommended with Extra Super Monkey, as its low ammo and low reload makes it a great target for ammo buffs. Consider running this in [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] decks to get use out of Ammo Stores, or using [[Try this!|Try This!]] In other decks.

*Notably, despite not being a Military, this Monkey has great synergy with [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] in general, functioning as a cheap anti-Aggro support while also being a great target for Ammo Stores.

*[[Favored Trade]] can be used on a 20 Gold Extra Super Monkey to gain the maximum possible payback of 10 Gold. This can be used in OTK decks to get the same amount of Gold as [[Quincy Action Figure]] without needing to spend Gold on placing and replacing it.

This card originally had 3 ammo and 3 reload, but it was changed to 1 ammo and 1 reload before the update released due to feedback from community playtesters.
