Robo Monkey is the Super Monkey's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It allows the Super Monkey to fire projectiles from both arms independently and simultaneously, and grants the ability to fire a crit shot every 15-20 shots that deal +9 damage. Additionally, the pierce of the Super Monkey's projectiles is increased by 1, totalling 5 pierce. Unlike most towers, Robo Monkey gains a secondary targeting selector to modify the targeting priorities of the other arm. Both arms of the Robo Monkey cannot have the same target priority. The order of the two targeting selectors do not correspond to its left and right arms; the arms are limited to between 0° and 180° in opposite directions, and its two targeting options control the angle between the arms.

Robo Monkey is a decent T3 Super Monkey that remains strong for its fair single-target, grouped, and numbers of projectiles. Both crosspaths are effective, with 2-3-0 focusing on DPS and 0-3-1 (or 0-3-2 for innate camo detection versus any non-DDT) its late-game knockback on MOAB-class and Super Ceramics. Bottom crosspath Robo prefers Geraldo for his capability to compress them into tight spaces (Worn Hero's Cape) and offer greater pierce (Sharpening Stone). Like all Super Monkeys, Robo prefers discounts, mainly from Monkey Commerce to save a lot of money and for cheaper supports. Robo has fallen off as a powerful CHIMPS carry with its many nerfs, but remains a viable option.
For targeting priorities, the second targeting selector should be set to the targeting priority that you'll rarely change on Robo, as the first targeting selector is easy to adjust with hotkeys (default: Tab). First-Strong or Strong-Close are the recommended targeting options for Robo Monkey, not First-Last (the default dual-targeting option if set on First prior to buying x-3-x). First-Strong focuses on cleanup and chipping single targets, while Strong-Close improves consistency on single targets.

Pierce increased ― 4 → 6- Projectile speed increased by 25%
- 0-3-1, 0-3-2
- Second arm applies more knockback to Lead, Ceramic, and Fortified (bug)
Overall knockback is the same as in previous versions for the second arm; the nerf to Knockback in this update only affects the first arm
- 0-3-1, 0-3-2
Alternate arm no longer has a stronger knockback effect on Leads and Ceramics (bug fix)

We were finally able to properly implement a popular suggestion for the Robo Monkey, and will be keeping an eye on it’s performance more closely in this update.

Robo Monkey has never filled the super effective role it held in BTD5, so Dr Monkey has installed updated HUD targeting systems that now deal occasional critical hits.

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.

- Main attacks: Pierce increased ― 6 → 7

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. Robo path T3 feels a little too expensive compared to bottom path’s [...]

We missed this for a while, but it seems that Robo for how cheap and versatile it currently is just stands out a little much across many stages of gameplay. Shifting up a little pierce to tech terror here to tone it down slightly for now.

“
We lowered the price of Tech Terrors to keep them ‘unchanged’ with Robo’s recent balancing, however in hindsight Robo is still too powerful and Tech Terrors themselves were already good enough that they really should’ve taken the hit along with Robo. Instead as they have risen in power even more, both of these upgrades are being properly nerfed now with a compensatory price buff to Anti-Bloon instead (hopefully not groundhogging to where Anti-Bloon becomes far too powerful and more changes are needed in v43)
