'''Heightened Perception''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It greatly increases the [[range]] of [[Primary|Primary Monkeys]] but in exchange, it halves the [[Projectile speed|speed]] of their projectiles~~. [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]] starts with the Legendary variant of this Artifact~~.

== Strategy ==

{{BTD6 last updated|51.2|section=1}}Players need to be careful with which towers will be affected by the Artifact and their [[Targeting option|targeting]], as although the increase in range is a good effect, the halved projectile speed means it might not be able to hit Bloons reliably when shooting towards the edge of their range, either by their projectiles expiring before they can travel the entire distance or by just outright missing. Towers with high projectile speeds like bottom path [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkeys]], or towers that attack on close range like [[Tack Shooter|Tack Shooters]] benefit the most from this artifact~~, however, middle path~~ [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperados]] have anti-synergy with this Artifact as it also increases the pistol range significantly so they have more chances of using their pistol instead of the rifle.

Towers with high projectile speeds like bottom path [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkeys]], or towers that attack on close range like [[Tack Shooter|Tack Shooters]] benefit the most from this artifact. For [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperados]], path 2 Desperados have anti-synergy with this Artifact as it also increases the pistol range significantly so they have more chances of using their pistol instead of the rifle, while path 3 Desperadoes have a variable synergy by activating its shotgun more often but more capable of losing [[Wanderer]] stacks.

In the late stages of a campaign, when using in combination with [[Unification]]-like Artifacts, it provides the most significant boost to range available for Towers in general which can make most Monkeys have nearly full map coverage when combined with Inspiration Artifacts and at that point the projectile speed penalty can be offset by using lifespan buffs like [[Added Preservatives]] which are more commonly available. The increased range is useful to spread buffs like [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Villages]], [[Abyss Dweller]] or [[General's Disposition]] over a wider area.

In [[One Monkey Army]] runs, this Artifact is one of the most impactful range buffs for a Hero, making it beneficial for most Heroes, but not Pat Fusty, making it possible to reach spread apart lanes, such as [[Muddy Puddles]], and reduce the impact of [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]'s range nerfs. Pair the Hero with Quickening artifacts to limit the projectile speed penalty.
