Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Monkey Intelligence Bureau''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants towers in range the [[Damage#Normal / Acid|Normal damage type]], allowing them to damage Bloons with [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black]], [[White Bloon (BTD6)|White]], [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple]], [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]], and/or [[Frozen Bloon (BTD6)|Frozen]] properties.{{Fn|It does not allow the Heli Pilot's Downdraft upgrade to blow back Lead Bloons, which may be a bug.}} This buff also grants targeting of Lead and Purple properties (e.g. [[Psi (BTD6)|Psi]] before Level 6 or 11), but will not grant targeting of other bloon properties, including Frozen.

Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple solution to countering Bloon properties, and its strength compared to alternatives is its 100% uptime and lack of reliance on timing. Most use cases for Monkey Intelligence Bureau is to allow towers to counter the Lead and Black properties of DDTs, and occasionally to allow sharp-attacking towers to damage Frozen Bloons (e.g. [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]<!--would put impale but who uses it in v48.0-->). MIB also sees niche use in certain [[Race Event]]s that utilize [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]] if alternatives such as [[MOAR Glaives (BTD6)|MOAR Glaives]] and [[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]] are unavailable. Otherwise, MIB has mostly been reserved in 2MPC to handle bloon weaknesses (e.g. Wizard vs Purple Bloons) and transition into [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]]. However, compared to alternatives that counter specific bloon properties, MIB lacks any further utility, at cost similar to [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]].
