Heightened Perception is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. It greatly increases the range of Primary Monkeys but in exchange, it halves the speed of their projectiles. The range bonus increases with rarity.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 56.3
  • Players need to be careful with which towers will be affected by the Artifact and their targeting, as although the increase in range is a good effect, the halved projectile speed means it might not be able to hit Bloons reliably when shooting towards the edge of their range, either by their projectiles expiring before they can travel the entire distance or by just outright missing.
  • Towers with high projectile speeds like path 3 Dart Monkeys, or towers that attack on close range like Tack Shooters benefit the most from this artifact. For Desperados, path 2 Desperados have good synergy with this Artifact due to improving the crit chances for the rifle (the pistol can't be affected by range buffs), while path 3 Desperadoes have a variable synergy by activating its shotgun more often but more capable of losing extra Wanderer stacks.
  • In the late stages of a campaign, when using in combination with Unification-like Artifacts, it provides the most significant boost to range available for Towers in general which can make most Monkeys have nearly full map coverage when combined with Inspiration Artifacts and at that point the projectile speed penalty can be offset by using lifespan buffs like Added Preservatives which are more commonly available. The increased range is useful to spread buffs like Monkey Villages, Abyss Dweller, or General's Disposition over a wider area, with Unification-like Artifacts needed for the former two.
  • In One Monkey Army runs, this Artifact is one of the most impactful range buffs for a Hero, making it beneficial for most Heroes, but not Pat Fusty, making it possible to reach spread apart lanes, such as Muddy Puddles, and reduce the impact of Blastapopoulos's range nerfs. Pair the Hero with Quickening artifacts to limit the projectile speed penalty.
    • Ironically, normal Pat Fusty starts with the Legendary version, which in One Monkey Army runs actually weakens his attacks by missing at the edges of his extended range and wasting his relatively slow shots doing so. If wanting to use him with Heroic Specialty, use this Artifact for boosting Rallying Roar influence.
