In addition, this upgrade increases the base [[pierce]] of the Engineer Monkey's main attack by 12 and increases the pierce of its [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]] puddles by 5. It also doubles the [[projectile speed]] of its nails, but halves their [[projectile lifespan|lifespan]], so their maximum travel distance remains the same. | In addition, this upgrade increases the base [[pierce]] of the Engineer Monkey's main attack by 12 (15) and increases the pierce of its [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]] puddles by 5 (15).

Overclock is a great support tower when one's strategy depends on few strong towers rather than many weak towers. It provides an average ~44.44% DPS boost on tier 5 towers and has full uptime on tier 4 towers. Thus, it has significant value with strong towers such as [[Apache Prime (BTD6)|Apache Prime]] | Overclock is a great support tower when one's strategy depends on few strong towers rather than many weak towers.

Thus, it has significant value with strong towers such as [[Apache Prime (BTD6)|Apache Prime]], [[Dark Champion (BTD6)|Dark Champion]], or an [[Orca]] or [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] with max beast power. It is also effective at buffing DPS-centered heros such as [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]] and [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)|Captain Churchill]], as well as heroes that are capable of blimp knockback such as [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]] and [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]]. | ||
The range buff it provides Villages is useful when building a [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]], as the increased range will allow more farms to fit in range of the Village. However, the range increase to Villages is rarely useful outside of that; it is usually cheaper to buy more Villages rather than an Overclock. | The range buff it provides Villages is useful when building a [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]], as the increased range will allow more farms to fit in range of the Village.

Overclock is also a key tower when farming, particularly for Boss events. Since [[Banana Research Facility (BTD6)|Banana Research Facility (BRF)]] and [[Banana Central (BTD6)|Banana Central]] generate 5 banana crates per round, when overclocked they generate 9 crates as <math>5*1.66=8.3</math>, which rounds up to 9. Therefore an Overclock constitutes an 80% buff to cash generation for these Farms, making Overclocked BRFs and Banana Central more efficient than BRFs and Banana Central alone. It is not recommended to use Overclock on [[Monkey Wall Street (BTD6)|Monkey Wall Street]] as it does not affect its end of round cash bonus. | Overclock is also a key tower when farming, particularly for Boss events.

As a supportive tower, Overclock is a very poor damage dealer by itself despite the fact that it gains pierce. It usually should not be crosspathed at all, since none of the crosspaths improve the ability. | As a supportive tower, Overclock is a very poor damage dealer by itself despite the fact that it gains pierce. It usually should not be crosspathed at all, since none of the crosspaths improve the ability. However, the Overclock's extra foam pierce does have niche use for more reliable decamo; it has better crosspathing value than its T3. | ||
