'''Primary Expertise''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

'''Primary Expertise''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade improves the buff given to [[Primary]] towers in its range to increase [[pierce]] by +3 instead of +1, provide free tier 2 upgrades as well as tier 1, and reduce [[Activated Ability|ability]] cooldowns by 25% instead of 15%.

The village also gains a Mega Ballista attack that has infinite range, has 100 pierce, and does 10 {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}-[[Damage type|type]] damage, +270 Ceramic damage, and +270 [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-class]] damage, with an [[attack cooldown]] of 2.5 seconds. The attack can naturally detect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. After hitting a target, it can ricochet toward another target within 90 units, with a short delay between ricochets.<section end="lede" />

Primary Expertise can be used to support strategies involving heavy use of [[Primary]] towers by increasing their pierce and further decreasing their ability cooldowns. However, outside of allowing certain T5 abilities to have more than full uptime with [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]] (e.g. 2-5-0 [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]], 0-5-2 [[Super Maelstrom (BTD6)|Super Maelstrom]]), this support usually isn't worth the price tag, and the village is often better kept as [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] or [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]] with the cash spent on other support towers. In [[Boss Bloon Event|Boss Bloon Events]] or [[Freeplay]], Primary Expertise's cooldown reduction is valuable in reducing the cooldown of [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]].

Providing free tier 2 upgrades allows for very cheap spam of tier 2 or 3 Primary towers inside its range. Candidates for this strategy include [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]] or [[Cluster Bombs (BTD6)|Cluster Bombs]] spam strategies, often with [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]].

The Mega Ballista attack on the Primary Expertise can one-shot [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramic Bloons]], but is slow-firing and the projectile can miss stray Bloons, while any other Bloons in the way can cause it to ricochet away from the intended target. It performs worse against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] due to its large pierce penalty against them. This attack should not be relied upon to do any meaningful damage or cleanup, and the ballista kills any end-of-round stall, limiting this upgrade's actual usefulness with abilities.
