Dart Monkey (BTDi)

I'm not done with this yet. Stats are subject to change.

The Dart Monkey returns in Bloons Tower Defense i. It is a very useful tower in the earlier stages in the game, as it has been throughout the BTD series. However, it has received significant buffs and is now usable later as a mass popping tower.

Upgrades
Path 1 upgrades focus on increasing the power of the darts themselves. They will allow the darts to pop more bloons and eventually pop multiple layers.

Path 2 upgrades simply increase the amount of darts. They give significant buffs to the reload speed of the tower and eventually add more darts thrown at a time.

Path 3 upgrades are miscellaneous, increasing range and damage to shields. Higher tier upgrades on this path will make darts split into more darts on impact for powerful area denial.
