Tips
This section was last updated for: version 6.2
- Unlike Bed Time, the cheaper and less rare alternative, Shrink has no restriction for neutralizing an opponent's Monkey.
- Good candidates for Monkeys outside of Bed Time range include: Super Monkey, most Monkeys that can ramp up their Attack Power (e.g. high-powered Wizard Monkeys, Spike-o-Pult, Sun Temple), Dire Wolf, high-damage Defenders (such as Elite Defender), and most Ultra Rares.
- Candidates for Bed Time are still worth it. Examples include: Jungle's Bounty Druid, Prince of Darkness.
- The Baby Monkey generated still takes up a Monkey slot, which prevents the opponent from moving the player's Monkeys to their side with Expert Negotiator, unless they first free up their own Monkey slot with cards or Adora's sacrifice. Likewise, the Baby Monkey could interrupt Monkeys that depend on positioning, such as Monkey Village.
- On the other hand, a Baby Monkey still counts as a Monkey, so it'd still be a fodder for Adora's Ultimate Sacrifice, Total Transformation Monkey, or Sun Temple.
- Shrink can be used to waste a boosted Monkey; it is a counter to monkey-buffing Power cards such as Try this!.
- If suspecting a Shrink, spread boosts across multiple Monkeys, and don't always buff the strongest Monkey.
- Computer opponents using Shrink always target the most expensive enemy Monkey. You can use this behavior to alter which Monkeys will get removed first.
