For the mechanic in Bloons Monkey City, see Monkey Knowledge (BMC).
Monkey Knowledge is an enhancement system in Bloons TD 6. Starting at level 30, players can invest Monkey Money and Monkey Knowledge Points into one of six skill trees to unlock permanent enhancements. Most are enhancements to specific towers and upgrades, but some alter the fundamentals of the game itself, such as reducing the health of all MOAB-Class Bloons.
Terminology
- "Monkey Knowledge" is both the term for the system as a whole and a term for the nodes that unlock perks. The nodes have also been called "Monkey Knowledge upgrades"[1] and "Knowledge types"[2] to distinguish them from the system.
- "Monkey Knowledge Points" are the currency used to unlock Monkey Knowledge upgrades. This term has also been used for the upgrades themselves on at least one occasion.[3]
Mechanics
Tiers
Monkey Knowledge trees are split into six tiers; upgrades lower on the tree are of higher tiers. Tiers 3 and above require a certain number of Monkey Knowledge Points to be invested into the tree before they can be unlocked, and tiers 4 and above cost Monkey Money when purchased for the first time.
