Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6): Difference between revisions

==Strategy==

Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple solution to countering Bloon properties, and its strength compared to alternatives is its 100% uptime and lack of reliance on timing. Most use cases for Monkey Intelligence Bureau is to allow towers to counter the Lead and Black properties of DDTs, and occasionally to prevent backfiring against Frozen Bloons (e.g. [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]). Removing bloon weaknesses 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). However, compared to alternatives that counter specific bloon properties, MIB lacks any further utility, at cost similar to [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]]. Moreover, [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] is able to cover all DDT rounds in CHIMPS, including Round 95, de-leading every DDT and ~~let~~ them take extra damage.
