Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple but expensive solution to countering Bloon properties; its main strength compared to alternatives is the lack of reliance on timing, due to its 100% uptime buffs. However, cheaper supports, such as [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], are more cost-efficient and provide extra benefits, ~~0-5-2~~ [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] is able to cover all DDT rounds in CHIMPS (including round 95), and [[Hero (BTD6)|Hero]] buffs (e.g. [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]], [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]]) are preferred if revolving around specific towers.

Most of the time, MIB is used to counter the Lead and Black properties of DDTs, or prevent anti-synergy with Frozen Bloons (e.g. [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]], [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]]). This buff also opens up crosspaths that are much stronger than the one that pops all Bloon types (e.g. 5-2-0 [[Glaive Lord (BTD6)|Glaive Lord]] over 5-0-2). In niche uses, it can be used on a high-pierce tower that only has damage type weaknesses, such as [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]] in [[Race]]s when better options (e.g. 4-0-2 [[MOAR Glaives (BTD6)|MOAR Glaives]] or [[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]]) are not available.
