'''Robo Monkey''' is the [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It allows~~ the ~~Super Monkey to fire projectiles from both arms independently and~~ simultaneously,~~~~ and grants the ability to fire a crit shot every 15-20 shots that deal +9 [[damage]]. Additionally, the [[pierce]] of the Super Monkey's projectiles is increased by 1, totalling 5 pierce. Unlike most towers, Robo Monkey gains a secondary targeting selector to modify the targeting priorities of the other arm. Both arms of the Robo Monkey cannot have the same target priority. The order of the two targeting selectors do not correspond to its left and right arms; the arms are limited to between 0° and 180° in opposite directions, and its two targeting options control the angle between the arms.

'''Robo Monkey''' is the [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The main attack gains a second copy of the attack that is fired simultaneously with a targeting option that is always different, and grants the ability to fire a crit shot every 15-20 shots that deal +9 [[damage]]. Additionally, the [[pierce]] of the Super Monkey's projectiles is increased by 1, totalling 5 pierce.

The order of the two targeting selectors do not correspond to its left and right arms; the arms are limited to between 0° and 180° in opposite directions, and its two targeting options control the angle between the arms.

Buying the upgrade auto-sets its targeting to First-Last (i.e. First on the main targeting option, Last on the second one), regardless of which targeting priority it was set on.

Robo Monkey is a decent T3 Super Monkey that remains strong for its fair single-target, grouped, and numbers of projectiles. Both crosspaths are effective, with 2-3-0 focusing on DPS and 0-3-1 (or 0-3-2 for innate camo detection versus any non-DDT) its late-game knockback on MOAB-class and Super Ceramics. Bottom crosspath Robo prefers [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]] for his capability to compress them into tight spaces ([[Worn Hero's Cape]]) and offer greater pierce ([[Sharpening Stone]]). Like all Super Monkeys, Robo prefers discounts, mainly from [[Monkey Commerce (BTD6)|Monkey Commerce]] to save a lot of money and for cheaper supports. Robo has fallen off as a powerful CHIMPS carry with its many nerfs, but remains a viable option.

For targeting priorities, the second targeting selector should be set to the targeting priority that you'll rarely change on Robo, as the first targeting selector is easy to adjust with hotkeys (default: {{key|Tab}}). First-Strong or Strong-Close are the recommended targeting options for Robo Monkey, not First-Last (the default dual-targeting option ~~if set on First prior to buying x-3-x~~). First-Strong focuses on cleanup and chipping single targets, while Strong-Close improves consistency on single targets.
