The Fort increases the popping power of all nearby towers by 1.
~ Official Description

Monkey Fort is the first upgrade on path 2 for the Monkey Village. It increases the Pierce of each tower in its radius by 1. It is most effective on towers with low pierce, but its efficiency decreases the higher pierce tower has.

Effect[]

Monkey Fort will increase the pierce of all nearby towers by +1. This has the greatest proportional effect on fast-attacking and/or multi-projectile towers with low pierce, with the best examples being Super Monkeys and Tack Sprayers.


Affecting[]

  • Dart Monkey
  • Boomerang Thrower (on BTD5 & BMC? Mobile, causes Glaive Ricochet and above base attacks to create two projectiles on impact)
  • Glue Gunner (Its projectile can pierce bloons, on mobile BTD5 & BMC it causes glue splatter projectiles to pierce and cause an additional splatter)
  • Bomb Shooter (Frags)
  • Ninja Monkeys (Flash Bomb)
  • Monkey Buccaneer (includes Grape Shot, causes Cannon Shot to explode twice on mobile BTD5 & BMC)
  • Monkey Apprentice (causes fireball to explode twice on mobile)
  • Monkey Ace (Causes Spectre bombs to explode twice on mobile BTD5 & BMC)
  • Dartling Gunner (Mobile BTD5 & BMC causes hydra rocket pod projectiles to pierce and cause an additional splatter)
  • Heli Pilot (Causes Apache Dartship rockets to explode twice on BTD5 & BMC)
  • Spike Factory (Added spike on each pile).
  • Monkey Engineer

Not Affecting[]

Strategy[]

Summary[]

Monkey Fort increases pierce for all nearby towers. It has the best effect on towers with fast attack speed and/or shoot multiple projectiles per shot, like Tack Sprayers for example.

Tips[]

  • Even if the Monkey Fort is combined with a tower that cause effects in the impact like the Glue Splatter or the Bomb Tower, Mortar Tower, it still increases the pierce by 1. (In Glue Splatter's case, +1 splats) However, since many towers utilizing explosions themselves already have very high pierce, they're typically buffed very little.
  • Monkey Fort turns a Super Monkey into half of a 1/0 Super Monkey that only shoots one projectile (even though it doesn't pop frozen bloons), making this upgrade worthwhile if the player's Super Monkey(s) are in radius of it.

Differences Between BTD5 Flash and BTD5 Mobile[]

BUFF Monkey Fort now duplicates explosive projectiles and several other types of projectiles. The following projectiles affected are: Glue Splatter, Cannon Ship bombs, Flash Bombs, Glaive Ricochet, Hydra Rocket Pods, Apprentice Fireballs, Spectre bombs, Apache Dartship rockets, and the MOAB Assassin ability missiles.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only upgrade for the Monkey Village that does not give it a radio tower.
  • The fort is missing on the BTD5 artwork when looking at the Towers section in the main menu. It appears as normal in-game.
  • If a Spike Factory is in a Monkey Fort's radius, it'll create spikes that pop one more bloon and appear with an extra spike.
  • In Version 4.3.1 in Bloons TD Battles Mobile, the Monkey Fort has been nerfed so that it no longer duplicates Glaives from Glaive Riccochet, and in version 4.9 it no longer duplicates Ninja's Flash Bombs, Buccaneer's Cannon Ship bombs, and Glue Gunner projectiles.
  • The Monkey Fort did not return in Bloons TD 6, as the game introduced multiple options at buffing the pierce of towers (e.g. Obyn Greenfoot, Berserker Brew), although the Monkey Village still has a pierce-increase upgrade for Primary Monkeys via Primary Training.
