Supermonkey is an expensive DPS character that outputs heavy DPS and can easily access lead-popping through [[Plasma Eyes]]. He is unique since he doesn't need many attack speed buffs and trinkets; just 20% additional speed is enough to bring him to the speed cap of the game, or 50% if he uses his [[Sun God (BATTD)|Sun God]] ability. Therefore it can mostly be ignored (because of external buffs like [[Lemonhope]] and instruments), instead opting for raw damage or support is best.

Supermonkey is an expensive DPS character that outputs similar heavy DPS at all stages of the game, and can easily access lead-popping through [[Plasma Eyes]]. He is unique since he doesn't need many attack speed buffs and trinkets; just 20% additional speed is enough to bring him to the speed cap of the game, or 50% if he uses his [[Sun God (BATTD)|Sun God]] ability. Therefore it can mostly be ignored (because of external buffs like [[Lemonhope]] and instruments), instead opting for raw damage or support is best.

In the damage ~~side~~, the usual raw damage trinkets work alongside [[James' Lucky Coin]] to boost the damage by an effective 5%. [[Dark Temple Idol (BATTD)|Dark Temple Idol]] is a staple to improve the ability's effectiveness. [[Plasma Goggles]] can also be considered a more hands-on option.

Supermonkey at the beginning of the game is essential to clearing Hard/Extreme difficulties due to him being strong without many trinkets required, but falls off heavily once a player acquires powerful trinkets for other characters, like [[Missile]] for Finn and PB, and Sai with a damage weapon and [[Bloonjitsu (BATTD)|Bloonjitsu]]. To further improve his DPS, the usual raw damage trinkets work alongside [[James' Lucky Coin]] to boost the damage by an effective 5%. [[Dark Temple Idol (BATTD)|Dark Temple Idol]] is a staple to improve the ability's effectiveness. [[Plasma Goggles]] can also be considered a more hands-on option.

~~On the support side, due~~ to his massive range he can safely equip [[Googoomamameter]] or [[CryoJet]] to debuff bloons that come near, or [[Siren Hat]] and [[Treetrunk's Apple Knife]] to boost friendly characters. He also discounts other character's upgrades when they are nearby with [[Heroic Aura]], so it may be worth it to get him down very early to save money in the long run.

Supermonkey's ally slots are very limited, wanting [[Super Fans]] as soon as he reaches star level 7, and like all Monkey characters the [[COBRA (BATTD)|COBRA]] and [[Technological Terror (BATTD)|Technological Terror]] are very valuable. After those 3, his final slot is rather flexible, providing stalling support with [[Gumbald]], damage with [[Wildberry Princess]], or income support with [[Dr Monkey (BATTD)|Dr Monkey]].
