Strategy
editThis section was last updated for: version 51.2
Dark Champion is an expensive late game tower with enough power to function as a carry when supported with Overclock. Global teleports, knockback, and projectile ricochet help it effectively deal with most rounds, but it has poor single target damage for its cost and needs support to handle the round 100 BAD.
2-0-4 crosspath is much preferred for maximized attack speed, since it already gains a sizeable pierce bonus and cannot synergize with Geraldo's Sharpening Stone.

Pierce increased ― 6 → 7
- Improved Darkshift ability added
- Description changed (undocumented)
Before Champion dark blades excel at puncturing and ruining all Bloon types. After Champion's dark blades excel at puncturing and ruining all bloon types. Darkshift ability extends mapwide.
Darkshift: Now has a sound effect- Darkshift: Can no longer teleport onto regular water if placed on frozen water (bug fix)
- Camo Prioritization filter added
| “ | Dark Champion has had a ceramic bonus added to deal with super ceramics as it is priced only for use in that lategame range — Update notes |
” |
Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)- Now deals +2 damage to Ceramic
| “ | 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. Dark Champion pierce is increased rather than decreased to push it further ahead of Dark Knight. — Update notes |
” |
- Pierce increased ― 7 → 8
| “ | 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
| “ | 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of a ‘weak for the cost’ stepping stone into T3s that feel more like T4s; but the base upgrade really does feel very outdated on this idea, and big crosspath problems exist due to this so we are moving some attack speed out from 2xx into the base upgrade.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 ― 0.03s → 0.0225s
- Note: Plasma Blasts crosspath remains at 0.015s
| “ | Higher tiers on the bottom path have struggled to compare to clusters of T3s for a while now. To help with this we thematically really liked the idea of bottom path gaining a ricochet effect, possibly gaining teleport mechanic value repositioning for better ricochet angles, and a big improvement to the tower's camo path identity as higher tiers becomes far more effective at handling DDTs — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $60,000 → $55,555
- Damage to Camo increased ― +1 → +2
- Projectiles now ricochet with a 0.1s delay
| “ | 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
| “ | [...] and some of the random range on bottom path is being shifted down into more affordable tiers. — Update notes |
” |
- Range increased ― 53 → 57
- Note: Does not affect xx5, which remains the same
- Darkshift: Now allows teleporting onto ice platforms (undocumented)
- 1-0-4
- Projectile radius increased ― 5 units → 8 units (undocumented)
- 2-0-4
- Projectile radius increased ― 6 units → 9 units (undocumented)
