Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Line 29:

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]]). 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.

MIB also sees niche use in scenarios that require a high-pierce tower to counter its damage type weaknesses, mainly [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]] in [[Race]]s when better options as 4-0-2 [[MOAR Glaives (BTD6)|MOAR Glaives]] or [[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]] are not available.
