Monkey Star

*Monkey Star is a worthwhile tradeoff for most defenses, but not always an advantage, due to some towers not favoring extra range, and the bigger footprint always being a major downside. However, the significant damage and range bonus is worth it for making early-game easier to handle.

*Monkey Star is a worthwhile tradeoff for most defenses, but not always an advantage, due to some towers not favoring extra range, extra cost worsening upgrade progression, and the bigger footprint always being a major downside. However, the significant damage and range bonus is worth it for making early-game easier to handle. Base tower value is usually preferred.

**Extreme late-game options favor footprint over anything else unless the support or damage gained is signficant enough to warrant more footprint. While [[VTSG]] is one of the strongest possible DPS towers to receive this buff, this tower's DPS gain is insignificant compared to the footprint that would be taken by [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]]s and [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]].

*Heroes with important leveling thresholds, such as ~~[[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]]'s level 5 enhanced weapons~~, may find this Perk harder to use.

*Heroes with important leveling thresholds, such as those that grant innate camo detection or pop a specific Bloon type, may find this Perk harder to use.

*This Perk synergizes with [[Heroic Start]] if the player makes their Hero the Super Star, since it effectively doubles the XP that Heroic Start gives.

*Avoid using Monkey Star on towers that can't do damage nor do any meaningful direct damage, such as most [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]s (DoT is unaffected by the damage buff), all [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]]s, and [[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]].
