Super Monkey Fan Club (BTD6): Difference between revisions

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 fills a niche as the cheapest option for single target damage when paired with debuffs. In particular, it has an excellent synergy with [[Super Brittle (BTD6)|Super Brittle]], which functions as the main DPS tower while increasing the damage dealt by transformed Dart Monkeys. The next best towers for SMFC are [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]], but in any case it should only be used as a supplemental tower to support defenses that struggle with the BAD. Super Monkey Fan Club is best used with [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] for the free T1 upgrades and ability cooldown reduction, as well as some form of stalling such as [[Horned Owl]].

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.~~

SMFC's main use case outside of CHIMPS is DPS against Bosses 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 if the extra track coverage provides more total damage during the ability than extra attack speed.

~~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~~.
