The Super Monkey Beacon is the Super Monkey Storm's Power Pro in Bloons TD 6. Instead of triggering a Super Monkey Storm instantly, it is a placeable tower that has the Beacon Storm Activated Ability, which triggers a weaker Super Monkey Storm that deals 2,000 damage to all Bloons instead of 4,000 (it is not affected by Powerful Monkey Storm), with a 120-second ability cooldown and no initial cooldown. This Power is placeable during the break between rounds.

The Power can be upgraded in one of three paths:

• Path 1 allows to store ability charges and restoring them with Monkey Money and make the ability retrigger after a short delay.
• Path 2 reduces its ability cooldown in exchange for damage. Additionally, it grants a turret attack and grant free Super Monkey every 10 rounds.
• Path 3 increases the ability damage, grants the ability a stun effect and allows the ability to scale up damage after every activations.

Upgrades

Path 1

Charged Beacon

Tier 1

Monkey Beacon can store up to 5 Beacon Storm ability charges. Replenish 4 charges instantly with Monkey Money.

$1,020 — Easy
$1,200 — Medium
$1,295 — Hard
$1,440 — Impoppable

This upgrade causes the Beacon Storm Activated Ability's cooldown to loop after fully recharging, allowing it to store up to five charges instead of one. The player can also spend  200 Monkey Money to instantly add four charges. In Legends, the option to spend Monkey Money on it is not available.

Storm Tremors

Tier 2

A moment after activating the Beacon Storm ability, a second storm triggers at half power.

$1,105 — Easy
$1,300 — Medium
$1,405 — Hard
$1,560 — Impoppable

This upgrade causes the Beacon Storm Activated Ability to trigger a second storm two seconds after activation, which deals 1,000 damage instead of 2,000 damage.

Reverberation

Tier 3

A third storm triggers after the second. Secondary and tertiary storm are stronger rather than weaker.

$2,550 — Easy
$3,000 — Medium
$3,240 — Hard
$3,600 — Impoppable

This upgrade causes the Beacon Storm Activated Ability to trigger a third storm three seconds after activation (one second after the secondary storm). It also increases the damage of secondary storm from 1,000 to 3,000, while the tertiary storm deals 4,500 damage.

Path 2

Mini Stormcaller

Tier 1

Beacon Storm ability cooldown is much faster but does less damage.

$1,275 — Easy
$1,500 — Medium
$1,620 — Hard
$1,800 — Impoppable

This upgrade reduces the Beacon Storm Activated Ability's cooldown from 120 seconds to 60 seconds, but also reduces its damage from 2,000 to 850.

Rapid Recharge

Tier 2

Beacon Storm ability cooldown reduced even further.

$1,020 — Easy
$1,200 — Medium
$1,295 — Hard
$1,440 — Impoppable

This upgrade reduces the Beacon Storm Activated Ability's cooldown from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.

Beacon of Legends

Tier 3

Beacon gains a permanent turret that attacks like a base Super Monkey & grants free Super Monkeys every several rounds.

$2,975 — Easy
$3,500 — Medium
$3,780 — Hard
$4,200 — Impoppable

This upgrade adds a turret attack to the beacon that quickly shoots darts at Bloons within range, similar to an unupgraded Super Monkey. Its darts deal 1 Sharp-type damage, have 2 pierce, and an attack cooldown of 0.045 seconds. It always targets First. This upgrade also grants the owner one free Super Monkey every 10 rounds (e.g., a Beacon upgraded during round 6 or the break between rounds 5 and 6 will grant a Super Monkey at the end of rounds 15, 25, 35 and so on). Also counts as range for Advanced Intel.

Path 3

High Impact

Tier 1

Beacon Storm ability does more damage.

$1,105 — Easy
$1,300 — Medium
$1,405 — Hard
$1,560 — Impoppable

This upgrade increases the Beacon Storm Activated Ability's damage from 2,000 to 3,000.

Bewildering Storm

Tier 2

Beacon Storm ability stuns surviving MOABs for a short time.

$1,190 — Easy
$1,400 — Medium
$1,510 — Hard
$1,680 — Impoppable

This upgrade causes the Beacon Storm Activated Ability to stun Bloons that survive the initial damage for 10 seconds. It only affects one layer. Despite what the description implies, it can stun any Bloon type that is not outright immune to stun, though of those Bloons, only MOAB-Class Bloons and Golden Bloons can survive the initial hit under normal circumstances.

Piercing Wind

Tier 3

Storm damage soaks through Bloon layers, and Beacon's damage increases permanently every time it is used.

$4,250 — Easy
$5,000 — Medium
$5,400 — Hard
$6,000 — Impoppable

This upgrade causes the Beacon Storm Activated Ability's damage and stun effect to pass through all layers (including MOAB-Class Bloon layers). It also permanently increases the ability's damage by 750 after each activation, capped at 150 activations (for 115,500 damage in total).
