Dark Knight is the Super Monkey's path 3 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It replaces the Super Monkey's darts with improved blade projectiles. The blades deal +2 MOAB-Class damage and have increased pierce by 3, and radius increased from 2 to 4. This upgrade improves the knockback effect, slowing Ceramic and Lead Bloons to 10% speed instead of 40%. Additionally, the Super Monkey is granted an Activated Ability which moves the tower to any valid location within its range.

Version 10.0

•  Pierce increased ― 2 → 3

Version 17.0

•  Darkshift ability added
• Description changed (undocumented)

Before	After
Dark blades deal extra damage to MOAB-Class Bloons.	Dark blades deal extra damage to MOAB class bloons. Gains short range Darkshift ability.

Version 17.1

•  Darkshift: Now has a sound effect
•  Darkshift: Can no longer teleport onto regular water if placed on frozen water (bug fix)

Version 20.0

“

Dark Knight’s reliance on Alchemist/Obyn to reach a reasonable pierce value made it too difficult to enjoy teleporting around using Dark Knight’s new ability so we tried to cut out that dependency with a sizable pierce increase. — Update notes

”

•   Dark Knight pierce increased ― 3 → 5
  • Note: xx4 Dark Champion does not inherit the pierce buff from xx3

Version 28.0

“

Dark Knights have been feeling strong with their stalling power but we don’t want to hit this too hard just yet so have reduced the slow amount slightly and restored it at the T4. — Update notes

”

•  Camo Prioritization filter added
•  Knockback: Dark Knight lead/ceramic slow amount decreased ― 100% → 90%
  • Note: Dark Champion unchanged

Version 30.0

“

Sun Avatar and Robo Monkey have had small price decreases while Dark Knight has had a small increase to line the T3s a little closer up. — Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $5,500 → $5,600

Version 31.0

“

Robo didn't need to lose pierce in the last Super Monkey T2 rework, and Dark Knight feels like it has too much pierce without ever considering the pierce crosspath. So to balance these together we’ve taken out pierce from Dark Knight and added it back into x2x carrying up into Robo Monkey. — Update notes

”

•  Pierce reduced ― 5 → 4

Version 33.0

“

Ultravision is a lackluster crosspath with so many other ways to get camo detection cheaper &/or for more towers. — Update notes

”

•  Ultravision grants bonus damage to camo bloons ― +0 → +1

Version 35.0

“

We want the base Super Monkey to feel like more of a ‘weak for the cost’ stepping stone into T3s that feel more like T4s; but the base upgrade really does feel very outdated on this idea, and big crosspath problems exist due to this so we are moving some attack speed out from 2xx into the base upgrade. — Update notes

”

•  Base attack rate decreased ― 0.06s → 0.045s
  • Note: Plasma Blasts remains at 0.03s

Version 43.0

“

Super Monkey projectiles already travel most the map length so that total distance is being reduced and adding back via the range-focused middle crosspath. — Update notes

”

•  Projectile speed reduced ― 280 → 200
  • Note: Epic Range unchanged at 350

Version 49.0

•  Darkshift: Now allows teleporting onto ice platforms (undocumented)

Version 51.0

1-0-3

•  Projectile radius increased ― 5 units → 7 units (undocumented)

2-0-3

•  Projectile radius increased ― 6 units → 8 units (undocumented)
