The Boomerang Monkey is a Primary tower in Bloons TD 6. It attacks by throwing boomerangs that travel in an anti-clockwise arc back to it. Its Monkey Special targeting option allows it to change its throwing arm to its left hand and throw boomerangs that travel in a clockwise arc. Its boomerangs can pop up to 4 Bloons each, but cannot pop Lead Bloons or frozen Bloons. It can be upgraded to throw boomerangs that bounce from Bloon to Bloon like Quincy's arrows, increase its attack speed with cybernetic implements, or throw boomerangs that travel in a straight line and stall MOAB-Class Bloons.

Upgrades

Path 1

Improved Rangs
Tier 1 — 100 XP to unlock
Icon of Improved Rangs
Can pop up to 8 Bloons per throw.
$170 — Easy
$200 — Medium
$215 — Hard
$240 — Impoppable
Improved Rangs increases the pierce of the Boomerang by 4 for a total of 8. It grants additional benefits to MOAB Press and MOAB Domination, improving the pierce of their heavy kylies (which knockback blimps) by 100.
Glaives
Tier 2 — 520 XP to unlock
Icon of Glaives
Throws glaives instead of boomerangs. Glaives are bigger and faster, hitting more Bloons with each throw.
$240 — Easy
$280 — Medium
$300 — Hard
$335 — Impoppable
This upgrade replaces the Boomerang Monkey's boomerangs with glaives, which have increased pierce (from 8 to 13, a +5 pierce increase) and increased projectile size. When used as a crosspath for MOAB Press, the pierce of the heavy knockback kylies is improved by 120 and the kylies' knockback distance is increased by 50%. MOAB Domination gains the aforementioned benefits by crosspathing with Glaives, along with +10 pierce and +50% radius to the heavy kylies' explosion, and +23 main kylie pierce.
Glaive Ricochet
Tier 3 — 2,500 XP to unlock
Icon of Glaive Ricochet
Glaives will bounce from Bloon to Bloon automatically and aggressively.
$510 — Easy
$600 — Medium
$650 — Hard
$720 — Impoppable
The Boomerang Monkey throws glaives in a straight line instead of a curve, increases the pierce of its glaives from 13 to 15 (45 with Extra Bounce Extra Bounce), and allows them to bounce from Bloon to Bloon, with a maximum jump distance of 80 units. If the projectile can't find a target within its jumping distance, it disappears. Additionally, each glaive can travel through line-of-sight blockers (though it does not allow Boomerang Monkey to see through them) and its projectile speed increases from 175 to 220.
M.O.A.R Glaives
Tier 4 — 8,500 XP to unlock
Icon of M.O.A.R Glaives
Multiple Object Advanced Ricochet greatly enhances the already extraordinary powers of the Glaive Ricochet Monkey.
$1,700 — Easy
$2,000 — Medium
$2,160 — Hard
$2,400 — Impoppable
This upgrade improves the effects of Glaive Ricochet's attacks. Boomerang Monkey attacks 3× faster (0.4 seconds attack cooldown without crosspaths), its pierce increases from 15 to 60 (90 with Extra Bounce Extra Bounce), the glaives attack jump distance increases from 80 to 180 units, and projectile speed increases from 220 to 300.
Glaive Lord
Tier 5 — 37,500 XP to unlock
Icon of Glaive Lord
Glaive Lord surrounds itself in 3 special glaives that shred anything that comes near. Glaive Lord's glaives now rip through MOAB-class Bloons, slowly tearing them apart from the inside.
$27,625 — Easy
$32,500 — Medium
$35,100 — Hard
$39,000 — Impoppable
With this upgrade, three glaives orbit the Boomerang Monkey that rapidly damage any Bloons within close range, including Camo Bloons. Despite its appearance, the attack is simply an area of effect that damages Bloons inside it at a constant rate every 0.05 seconds but its damage cannot soak through multiple layers; the orbiting glaives are purely visual. The area of effect has a radius of 30 (40 with 5-0-1), deals 4 damage per tick, +4 to Ceramic Bloons, and can hit up to 200 Bloons at a time (230 with Extra Bounce Extra Bounce).

In addition, the Boomerang Monkey's base attack deals +5 damage, +10 to Ceramic Bloons, can bounce to new targets from any distance, can re-hit Bloons it has already hit after 0.6 seconds, and now applies a damage over time effect to the first MOAB-Class Bloon it hits, dealing 100 damage to it every second for 10 seconds. The effect does not stack with itself, nor does it soak through multiple layers.

With Long Range Rangs crosspath the orbital glaive area of effect's size increases by 15%, and when upgraded further to Red Hot Rangs the damage of orbital glaives and base attack are increased by 2 and can pop Lead and Frozen Bloons. Additionally, this crosspath allows Glaive Lord to hit DDTs if visible.

Path 2

Faster Throwing
Tier 1 — 120 XP to unlock
Icon of Faster Throwing

Icon of Faster Rangs
Boomerangs fire and travel faster.
$210 — Easy
$250 — Medium
$270 — Hard
$300 — Impoppable

$50,000 — Medium
$54,000 — Hard
$60,000 — Impoppable
This upgrade throws boomerangs faster, and improves the damage and pierce of the regular Kylie Boomerang and heavy kylie attacks. Instead of returning, each Heavy kylie creates an explosion that burns nearby Bloons.
  • Regular Kylie: Damage increases from 2 to 12, pierce increases from 18 to 54, and attack speed of this attack increases by +100%.
  • Heavy Kylie: +150% attack speed (from 10 to 4 second cooldown), can target and attack through line-of-sight blockers, and is able to target all MOAB-Class Bloons, even those that it cannot push back (i.e. BADs and Boss Bloons). The heavy Kylie stuns MOAB-Class Bloons for 0.25 seconds, its bonus MOAB-Class damage increases from +4 to +24, pierce increases from 200 to 300, and it explodes instead of returning (or upon running out of pierce). The explosion deals 100 Normal type damage to all Bloons in a radius of 50, with 40 pierce, and applies a burn damage-over-time effect which deals 50 damage/second for 4 seconds.

Paragon

Glaive Dominus
Tier 6 — 500,000 XP to unlock
Icon of Glaive Dominus
The Bloons will look upon my Glaives, and they will know fear.
$318,750 — Easy
$375,000 — Medium
$405,000 — Hard
$450,000 — Impoppable
Glaive Dominus has three different attacks, each based on Boomerang Monkey's upgrades:
  • Main attack: It rapidly throws glaives which seek other targets across the entire map after hitting a Bloon, similar to Glaive Ricochet. This attack applies a damage-over-time effect to the first Bloon it hits.
  • Orbital Glaives: In the same way as Glaive Lord, three giant glaives spin around the Paragon covering a large area which deals damage to nearby Bloons on contact.
  • MOAB Press: Inspired by the upgrade of the same name, the Paragon can also launch a special glaive towards MOAB-Class Bloons which stops in place after reaching its target and pushes blimps backwards before exploding, dealing high damage and applying a damage-over-time effect. Functionally, it's more similar to MOAB Domination.

Glaive Dominus also gains an Activated Ability called Overcharge, granting a significant attack speed boost that reduces over time, resembling Turbo Charge. This Paragon also applies a buff to all Primary towers on screen including other Paragons, increasing their attack speed by about 11.11%.

Strategy

For more in-depth strategies, see Strategy:Boomerang Monkey (BTD6).

Base Boomerang Monkeys rely on curves for damage rather than straight lines, but has good pierce and decent attack speed for early game, making it a good early tower whenever it can maximize its pierce. A Boomerang Dart start works on maps such as Sunset Gulch and High Finance, while a 0-1-1 Boomerang starts on Dark Path and Infernal.

Unlike most towers, Boomerang's lower upgrade tiers are generally cost-efficient even on their own. 1-0-2 is a staple in early game Boss Events, and 0-2-2 can carry early game in CHIMPS if it can make the most of its pierce.

MOAB Press is a staple late game support tower for knocking blimps back, while Glaive Lord is a strong late game T5. Elsewhere, Boomerang Monkey's top path focuses on grouped Bloon damage, middle path focuses on better single target damage, blimp damage, and burst damage through its ability, and bottom path functions as a supporting damager, especially against groups of blimps.

To reduce some top crosspath dominance, have middle path stay the true speed crosspath and also provide a small buff to the base Boomerang, Glaive’s attack speed bonus has been moved down into the base Boomerang Tower.
