Bloons TD 6’s Monkey Ace tower is a military-class structure. However, the tower has undergone considerable alterations since its appearance in BTD4 and BTD 5 versions.
The Monkey Ace has eight darts that it fires in a circle around itself at its base. Even without Monkey Knowledge, these darts deliver 1 damage and have 5 penetration. Every 1.68s, it generates a barrage of these darts.
It is possible to change the pattern of a Monkey Ace’s flight dependent on the priority of the targets it has to fly towards. Tightly packed bombs, Anti-MOAB missiles, a rapid-fire alternating dart-and-bomb launcher, and Nukes are just some enhancements that can take advantage of its height.

What is the Best Monkey Ace Path in BTD6?
In my opinion, the “Flying Fortress” is the best monkey ace path in BTD6. It is recommended that players use Monkey Ace Path 3 to ensure that bloons are always targeted by the Flying Fortress’ homing ability. Here are different paths of Monkey Ace discussed in detail:
1. SKY SHREDDER Monkey Ace Path
- Price: $34,000
- Path: 1
- Tier: 5
The Sky Shredder is likely the first Monkey Ace weapon that gamers will be able to use. The speed at which the Sky Shredder fires the 32 darts is two times faster than before.
Players are still at risk when it comes to bloons leaking because the Sky Shredder’s darts cover the bulk of the screen, but let me tell you how irritating it is to witness one dart skim past or not penetrate the final piece of bloon as it crosses the finish line.
For its price, the Sky Shredder has the potential to be one of the strongest ranged towers in the entire game. The sheer quantity of darts and rockets means that bloons and blimps will never be missed, even if Monkey Ace micromanages everything.
Thus, the Sky Shredder becomes a good option on terrain that offers the best possible Monkey Ace flying patterns. When used in conjunction with Alchemist bonuses from Stronger Stimulant, the Sky Shredder’s damage output can be increased by nearly half (50 percent).
To avoid being hit by a Sky Shredder, players must decide whether or not they need Camo detection to avoid being detected. While the Explosive Pineapple and Camo Detection upgrades from Path 2 will be useful, they don’t do much damage and may be gotten in many other ways.
The Sky Shredder’s ability to reach more bloons before they flee is greatly enhanced by avoiding the Path 2 cross-path requirement, while Path 3 gives players three extra pieces.
2. TSAR BOMBA
- Price: $25,500
- Path: 2
- Tier: 5
A single ability use of the Tsar Bomba can clear BFBs, MOABs, and Super Ceramics, including Fortified variations, from the battlefield during Rounds 94, 96, and 98 of the tournament. Using the ability to pop Fortified DDTs and act as an emergency button in the early late game might also wipe out Round 99 in a single use.
On the other hand, Tsar Bomba is outmatched by numerous Ground Zeroes when it comes to eradicating hyperdense rounds, save for Fortified BFBs, which two Ground Zeroes can only defeat.
Effective stalling methods are necessary to maximize the Tsar Bomba’s large-scale damage, whose primary power source is its ability. For stalling down surviving ZOMGs, Tsar Bomba’s stun is a vital tool. Aside from 2TC and 2MPC, Tsar Bomba can be effective in various situations.
For cross-pathing, players will not require a Tsar Bomba because it is only needed for its special power. However, any other upgrades are pointless, as (2/5/-) only increases how many darts are ejected from the Monkey Ace and does nothing to improve the attack speed of the Tsar Bomba, which is what players are seeking for in a cross path.
Path 3 improvements don’t have to include Sharper Darts and Centered Path, as they only boost the piercing power of the darts, which are already sharp enough without the Wingmonkey Monkey Knowledge.
3. FLYING FORTRESS
- Price: $72,250
- Path: 3
- Tier: 5
Path 3 is an extremely expensive weapon that can quickly and efficiently take out a variety of bloons across a wide area. Still, its rounds frequently miss fast bloons like visible DDTs.
Bloon Sabotage and MOAB Glue can assist this tower in dealing with DDTs more effectively. For the 2-0-5 Flying Fortress cross path, additional support via Radar Scanner is recommended in addition to Jungle Drums.
Alchemist buffs don’t last long because of how quickly the tower attacks, but Permanent Brew is a superb late-game tower combo because it lasts so long because of how quickly the tower attacks.
That’s because each projectile fired by the flying fortress is influenced by the alchemist’s power per projectile boost and the alchemist buffs popping power per projectile. A super-buffed Flying Fortress generates a significant increase in DPS when used outside of True Sun God, Sun Temples, and Paragons.
Conclusion
Here we conclude our article. Here’s a summary of what we’ve discussed:
- Path 1 Monkey Aces deals the greatest damage to ordinary bloons, shooting many darts in all directions, but it still poses the risk of leaking a large number of bloons.
- For their particular ability to drop a bomb that delivers tremendous damage to all bloons, Path 2 Tsar Bomba is primarily used.
- When combined with structures that destroy or slow down MOAB-class bloons, Flying Fortress is a fantastic weapon against DDTs. If players are confident in their abilities to earn money, they should go for a Flying Fortress.
