Monkey (BCS)

Line 12:

The '''Attack Power''' of a Monkey is the amount of damage it deals to the target Bloon each time it attacks. Most Monkey card effects that deal damage, such as the [[Boomerang Monkey (BCS)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s second hit, the [[Thunder Druid]]'s On Play effect, or the [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]]'s On Turn End effect, are independent of their Attack Power and are not affected by buffs or debuffs to their Attack Power. The exceptions are effects that are referred to as "attacks" in card text, such as the [[Arcane Master]]'s additional projectiles and the [[Mortar Monkey (BCS)|Mortar Monkey]]'s On Turn End effect.

If a Monkey has zero Attack Power, such as by being affected by a [[Buddy Bloon]], then it can still attack, ~~dealing~~ zero damage but still ~~triggering~~ On Damaged effects and [[Extractor Bloon]]s. Monkeys cannot have their Attack Power lowered to below zero.

Line 28:

===Defender===

Monkeys with the '''Defender''' keyword will automatically use any remaining Ammo to attack incoming Bloons from the opponent's side at the end of the opponent's turn, and always attack before [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s Sun Shield. If the player has multiple Defenders, they will attack in the order they were played, oldest first (i.e. first played Defender attacks until it has no Ammo, then second and subsequent Defenders). All Defenders also gain a certain amount of Attack Power during the opponent's turn (notated as "Defender +<amount>" in the card text), making them deal more damage while defending. Defenders can be buffed during the opponent's turn by ~~the~~ [[Dark Champion (BCS)|Dark Champion]]. Defenders have a shield-shaped ~~plate~~ beneath them instead of ~~a circle~~.
