The '''Range''' of a tower is the gray circle that limits where towers can attack (with some exceptions). All [[Tower|Towers]] have a designated range, including the [[Banana Farm]] and [[Monkey Ace (BTD6)]].
'''Range''' is a fundemental stat that defines the area in which a [[Tower]] will detect bloons or other towers for the purposes of doing a certain action.All towers have range which is determined by some modifiers.


Before BTD3,range was determined only by the tower and its upgrades,with the addition of the [[Monkey Beacon]] in [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|Bloons TD 3]] now external factors such as other towers could affect a monkeys range.The addition of premium upgrades in [[Bloons TD 4]],[[Premium Building|Premium Buildings]] in [[Bloons TD 5]] and [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] in [[Bloons Monkey City]],gave option to new  modifiers which modified range in all sessions,external to a session itself.
Currently in [[Bloons TD 6]] range is determined by:[[Towers|Towers type]],[[Upgrades]],[[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]],[[Artifacts]],[[Obstacle|Obstacles]] and [[Relic|Relics]].
...<!---Expand here on standard range and how it works--->
There are also non-standard types of range as written out below:
== Infinite Range ==
Some towers will detect in indefinite range,though some do have some limits:
*[[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]],has infinite range though in BTD 6 generation games is limited by obstacles.
*[[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Aces]],the dart attack of [[Aircraft Carrier (BTD6)|Aircraft Carrier]] Aces and [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]] technically have infinite range,being only limited by projectile lifespan.With dartling gunners also being limited by obstacles.
The below have true infinite range,not being able to be modified by anything.
*[[Psi]] and [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]] are the only  towers with true infinite range without upgrades,Mortar causes explosion directly at the target location and Psi shoots at bloons no matter location.
*The active ability of [[First Strike Capability (BTD6)|First Strike Capability]] and the passive ability of [[Pre-emptive Strike (BTD6)|Pre-emptive strike]] will be shot at target no matter location and hit.
*The active of [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Striker]] will hit everything on screen with no exception.
*The Active of [[Ground Zero (BTD6)|Ground Zero]] and [[Tsar Bomba (BTD6)|Tsar Bomba]] will hit everything on screen with no exception.
*The [[Bomber Ace (BTD6)|Bomber Ace]] missiles will be shot at and hit moabs no matter location
*The hooks of [[Monkey Pirates (BTD6)|Monkey Pirates]],[[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]] and [[Myrkul]] will hook Moabs no matter location.
*The fireballs of [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]] will be shot at and hit target no matter location.
*The bombs of [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] will be shot at target no matter location.
*The mega ballista attack of [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]] will be shot at target no matter location.
== Dummy Range ==
== Dummy Range ==
Some global range towers, like the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)]], only have a small gray circle indicating its "dummy range", while their true range is infinite (albeit with [[Line of sight]] restrictions). This dummy range is shared with towers like [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)]].
'''Dummy Range''' is range with no action assinged to it.Dummy range is given to towers with unconventional ranges for the general purpose of providing extra range for the [[Advanced Intel]] upgrade,dummy ranged monkeys are as follows and are as such for the following reasons:
 
*[[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)]],has infinite range though in BTD 6 generation games is limited by obstacles.
*[[Psi]] and [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]] are the only towers with true infinite range.
*[[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Aces]] and [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]] technically have infinite range,being only limited by projectile lifespan.With dartling gunners also being limited by obstacles.
*The helipads of [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilots]] also have dummy range,though the actual helicopter does have normal range.
== Multiple Range ==
== Multiple Range ==
Some towers, like the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)]], have two different ranges. This is because the beast re-positioning range is larger than the Beast Handler's attack range.
Some towers have more then one range,with each range correspending to a diffirent action.
