'''Monkey v Monkey''',{{fn|Also parsed "Monkey V Monkey", "Monkey vs Monkey", and "Monkey Vs Monkey".}} abbreviated '''MvM''', is an asynchronous multiplayer feature in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'' that allows players to send attacks to other players' cities. A player can send an attack to a random opponent or someone on their friend list by spending [[Bloontonium]]. An opponent can defend against an attack by playing a modified [[tile]] with increased [[difficulty (BMC)|difficulty]] and more difficult [[Bloon]]s. If the attacker wins, the attacker steals [[City Cash]] from the opponent and may destroy some of the opponent's [[building]]s, the attacker gains [[Honor]], and the opponent loses Honor. If the defender wins, the defender gains Honor and the attacker loses Honor. Either way, the defender earns Bloontonium and has the option to send a revenge attack to the attacker. Players can [[research (BMC)|research]] stronger Bloons to send to the opponent. Players can opt out of participating in MvM by entering Pacifist Mode.

==Attacking==

===In the Flash version===

Attacks cost [[Bloontonium#Bloons Monkey City|Bloontonium]] based on the [[City Level]] of the opponent. The higher the amount of Bloontonium used, the harder the strength of the attack. Attacks can also be set to use a specific bloon type in a range of the highest possible researched bloons for that city level. ~~The~~ player ~~can spend Bloonstones to collect~~ enough Bloontonium to ~~send an~~ attack if the player's ~~current reserves do not match~~ the ~~strength of the attack~~, at 1 Bloonstone per 40 Bloontonium. The player can also spend extra Bloonstones to add modifiers that increase the rate of Bloons of a specific type.

Attacks cost [[Bloontonium#Bloons Monkey City|Bloontonium]] based on the [[City Level]] of the opponent. The higher the amount of Bloontonium used, the harder the strength of the attack. Attacks can also be set to use a specific bloon type in a range of the highest possible researched bloons for that city level. If the player does not have enough Bloontonium to afford the attack, the player is given the option to convert [[Bloonstone]]s to make up the difference, at 1 Bloonstone per 40 Bloontonium. The player can also spend extra Bloonstones to add modifiers that increase the rate of Bloons of a specific type.

During Warmonger day on Monday, one of the modifiers is automatically added for free and cannot be disabled. The modifier chosen is rotated based on the predetermined monthly schedule.

Compared to the flash version, attacks automatically send the highest bloon type researched, and always have a [[Bloon Strategy]] associated with them ~~and are selected based on~~ a random ~~group~~ of 3~~. The~~ player can reroll for ~~different bloon strategies at the cost of~~ {{BMCM bs|10}}. Since Bloontonium is a percentage, no difficulty modifiers can be changed except for the Extra Strong attack, which also costs {{BMCM bs|10}}. The player can also fill their Bloontonium reserves if the player does not have enough Bloontonium, filling to {{BMCM bloontonium}} 100% at the cost of Bloonstones, at {{BMCM bs|1}} per {{BMCM bloontonium}} 2%.

When a player receives an attack, it is initiated as soon as the game is able to connect to the internet. Once the attack initiates, the player has 24 hours to defend it, otherwise it automatically ends in a loss for the player and a win for the opponent the next time the game connects to the internet. Attacks cannot be defended against without an internet connection.

Attacks occupy unclaimed [[tile]]s within range of the player's city. Attacks cannot occupy [[Volcano Terrain]] tiles, [[Cave Terrain]] tiles, [[Special Terrain]] tiles, or tiles containing a [[~~treasure chest (BMC)|~~treasure chest]]. Attacks use the same [[Map|track]]s as their original tiles, but override their difficulty levels, modifiers, and rounds. When defending an attack, [[Auto Start|non-stop mode]] is forcibly enabled and each round begins immediately after all Bloons from the previous round have entered instead of after all Bloons have been popped first, similar to [[Apopalypse (BTD5)|Apopalypse]] mode from ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. Unlike Apopalypse, end-of-round cash is still given.

==Pacifist Mode==

'''Pacifist Mode''' prevents the player from receiving attacks from other players. It can only be enabled if the player has not sent an attack in the last 72 hours, and ~~it is automatically disabled~~ if the player sends an attack ~~when~~ it is ~~enabled~~. Additionally, in the Flash version only, Pacifist Mode cannot be enabled if the player has 1,000 or more Honor, though when attacking friends they can still appear in Pacifist Mode to them if they are not actively playing.
