Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple but expensive solution to countering Bloon properties; 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 prevent backfiring against Frozen Bloons (e.g. [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]<!--would put impale but who uses it in v48.0-->). Removing bloon weaknesses also opens up crosspaths that are much stronger than the one that pops all bloon types (e.g. 5-2-0 [[Glaive Lord (BTD6)|Glaive Lord]] over 5-0-2). However, compared to alternatives that counter bloon properties, MIB lacks any further utility, at a cost similar to [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]]. Moreover, the 0-5-2 [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] is able to cover all DDT rounds in CHIMPS, including Round 95, de-leading every DDT and letting them take extra damage.

Strategy

Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a simple but expensive solution to countering Bloon properties; 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 prevent backfiring against Frozen Bloons (e.g. Snowstorm). Removing bloon weaknesses also opens up crosspaths that are much stronger than the one that pops all bloon types (e.g. 5-2-0 Glaive Lord over 5-0-2). However, compared to alternatives that counter bloon properties, MIB lacks any further utility, at a cost similar to Glue Strike and Embrittlement. Moreover, the 0-5-2 Glue Storm is able to cover all DDT rounds in CHIMPS, including Round 95, de-leading every DDT and letting them take extra damage.

MIB also sees niche use in scenarios that require a high-pierce tower to counter its damage type weaknesses, mainly Recursive Cluster in Races when better options as 4-0-2 MOAR Glaives or Ice Shards are not available.

Footnotes

  1. It does not allow the Heli Pilot's Downdraft upgrade to blow back Lead Bloons, which may be a bug. Ice Monkeys always can pop Frozen but not target them unless given Re-Freeze.
