The Boomerang Monkey is a Primary tower in Bloons TD 6. It attacks by throwing boomerangs that travel in an anti-clockwise arc back to it. Its Monkey Special targeting option allows it to change its throwing arm to its left hand and throw boomerangs that travel in a clockwise arc. Its boomerangs can pop up to 4 Bloons each, but cannot pop Lead Bloons or frozen Bloons. It can be upgraded to throw boomerangs that bounce from Bloon to Bloon like Quincy's arrows, increase its attack speed with cybernetic implements, or throw boomerangs that travel in a straight line and stall MOAB-Class Bloons.

Strategy

For more in-depth strategies, see Strategy:Boomerang Monkey (BTD6).

Base Boomerang Monkeys rely on curves for damage rather than straight lines, but has good pierce and decent attack speed for early game, making it a good early tower whenever it can maximize its pierce. A Boomerang Dart start works on maps such as Sunset Gulch and High Finance, while a 0-1-1 Boomerang starts on Dark Path and Infernal.

Unlike most towers, Boomerang's lower upgrade tiers are generally cost-efficient even on their own. 1-0-2 is a staple in early game Boss Events, and 0-2-2 can carry early game in CHIMPS if it can make the most of its pierce.

MOAB Press is a staple late game support tower for knocking blimps back, while Glaive Lord is a strong late game T5. Elsewhere, Boomerang Monkey's top path focuses on grouped Bloon damage, middle path focuses on better single target damage, blimp damage, and burst damage through its ability, and bottom path functions as a supporting damager, especially against groups of blimps.
