Total Transformation plays a very similar role to Plasma Monkey Fan Club; ~~transforming less~~ monkeys, but ~~affecting~~ many more tower types. Transformed monkeys also ignore Line of Sight blockers which gives an edge on certain maps over the ~~fan club~~.

Total Transformation plays a very similar role to [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|Plasma Monkey Fan Club]]; it transforms monkeys for a large burst of damage. It transforms fewer monkeys, but affects many more tower types, allowing transformed monkeys to inherit a wider variety of buffs. Transformed monkeys also ignore Line of Sight blockers which gives an edge on certain maps over the Fan Club.

Stalling is a key requirement to effective utilization as the cooldown is decently long. Towers that can provide massive burst stalling such as the [[Absolute Zero (BTD6)|Absolute Zero]] or towers which can intentionally stall a single bloon indefinitely like the [[MOAB Shove (BTD6)|MOAB Shove]] are as such useful.

The best monkeys to pair with ~~total transformation~~ are Druids of Wrath paired with ~~Poplusts~~ and Obyn or with Shinobis due to their tower type ~~dependant~~ buffs, which carry over into the transformed monkeys.

The best monkeys to pair with Total Transformation are [[Druid of Wrath (BTD6)|Druids of Wrath]] paired with [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplust]]s and [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn]], or with [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobis]], due to their tower type dependent buffs, which carry over into the transformed monkeys. Bear in mind that transformed monkeys temporarily lose the buffs they provide to others; for instance with Shinobis, buy 5 more so they gain the max buffs when transformed.

0-5-1 is the preferred crosspath as the greater attack speed increase affecting the monster far outweighs the benefits extra pierce would provide.
