Plasma Monkey Fan Club has very good synergy with [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]] ~~(or just [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]])~~, ~~since~~ it gives cooldown reduction ~~for the ability~~, ~~stats increases (mainly [[~~pierce]] and [[attack speed~~]])~~, and free ~~tier 1~~ and ~~tier 2 (the latter only with Primary Expertise)~~ upgrades to Primary ~~Monkeys~~, ~~making the upgrading~~ of ~~transformed Monkeys much cheaper~~.

Plasma Monkey Fan Club has very good synergy with [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]], as it gives ability cooldown reduction, a pierce and attack speed increase, and free T1 and T2 upgrades. {{BTD6|Primary Mentoring}} works as well but mainly loses free T2s. Like the previous upgrade, this tower is focused on high burst damage, and is thus nearly useless without its ability. It is recommended to either use another DPS tower or some form of stalling (e.g. [[Horned Owl]]) to alleviate downtime.

~~Like the previous upgrade, this tower~~ is ~~focused on burst damage~~, and ~~not consistent DPS. To further increase its strengths it is recommended to get debuffers like~~ [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]] and [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]].

PMFC is very powerful in Timed [[Boss Events]], being one of the fastest ways to defeat most Tier 1 and 2 Bosses when paired with debuffs such as [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]] and [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]]. It is also strong in [[Boss Rush]] for farming pops and saving up to the [[Apex Plasma Master]]. Note that debuffs are largely only necessary against Bosses rather than normal gameplay.

~~Its biggest weakness is being useless without~~ the ~~ability~~ and ~~a long ability cooldown. It is recommended to use another DPS tower~~ or ~~some form of stalling, such as [[Horned Owl]].~~

The transformed Dart Monkeys are best upgraded to 2-2-0 to maximize pierce and attack speed, but 0-2-2 can be bought if the extra track coverage and/or Camo detection is more useful than the pierce. After the upgrades have been bought, [[Triple Shot (BTD6)|Triple Shot]] can be considered to grant another speed boost for a low cost.

~~This upgrade~~ is ~~very powerful in Timed Boss challenges, since it is one of~~ the ~~fastest ways to kill most Tier 1 and Tier 2 Bosses when paired with debuffs~~. ~~It is also strong in~~ [[~~Boss Rush~~]] ~~for farming pops and saving up~~ to ~~[[Apex Plasma Master]].~~

~~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~~.
