Sun Avatar is the Super Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It replaces the Super Monkey's Plasma Blasts attack with sun blasts, which fire 3 at a time, with a total angle of 30°. It also increases the pierce of each projectile by +4 (6 assuming no crosspaths), and increases the projectile speed. With Strike Down the False, the Sun Avatar gains the capability to pop Purple Bloons, making it similar to normal damage type but will still heat up Blastapopoulos.

Sun Avatar is very receptive to external buffs and bloon debuffs, with extreme attack speed and plenty of projectiles per shot. Hence, it's a really powerful option for high DPS when paired with Adora's Blood Sacrifice buffs (which grant plenty of attack speed), and maximized supports. It's also the most expensive T3, so it has the largest possible discount synergy with Monkey Commerce. However, Sun Avatar somewhat falls short to a bug in the game where exceessive attack speed causes some projectiles to not receive blimp debuffs, compared to Shinobi-buffed Bloonjitsus which have more projectiles per shot with only somewhat less attack speed.
