Soldier Monkey(Yoshipea)

"I've been blasting bloons all day, all night, and even all winter without sleep! What do you want me to do, BLOW UP MORE B.A.Ds? I AIN'T PREPARED FOR THIS!"

- Soldier Monkey, complaining Usually, Striker Jones and his bombers would be the one to call when leads appear. However, Reinforced bloons would barge in and frustrate other towers. This is where the soldier comes in!

Base info
Soldier Monkeys act similarly to Bomb shooters with the range of a Super monkey, the fire rate of an Engineer, and the popping power of a Glaive monkey.

However, there's a little advantage that he has that other un-upgraded towers don't have: His blasts can strip the reinforced property off of Leads and Ceramics. This would make him effective at supporting more powerful, or surprisingly weaker towers with taking out Reinforced hordes of M.O.A.B class bloons.

Upgrades

Strategy
One basic soldier can make it throughout a few rounds without support. However, once placed, just one soldier makes the tough rounds(especially the reinforced rounds) a lot easier, like upgrading an Alchemist.

Soldier Monkeys are essential in the later rounds, just like Perishing potions. Sure, keeping a 0-0-0 Soldier is fine, but when going deep in the game, 5th upgrades have to be in order.

5-X-X Soldiers don't have explosive rounds, but are still capable of taking down leads with their tungsten darts. Keep in mind that this isn't recommended against DDTs or the TAGD, due to their strengths.

X-5-X Soldiers ultimately have a high price, but also have high potential. Their cannons can easily dish out damage against groups of enemies, but the tower itself fires and rotates slowly, so it has to be put down on the right spot in order to actually make a difference.

X-X-5 Soldiers, like Heavy weapons monkeys(5-X-X soldiers), have no explosive power. Instead, their firepower solely concentrates on actual fire. Their attacks seem swift and high in fire rate, but not as much as a Super Monkey. These monkeys are best placed around curved areas so their spread can do some actual damage.

Trivia

 * This is Yoshipea's second Monkey, the first being the Mechanic.
 * This tower mostly references TF2, with a few relating to Call of Duty.
 * The first and 3rd paths relates to the Heavy and Pyro classes respectively, while the tower itself references the Soldier.
 * The 2nd path is similar to Call of Duty's RPG weapons, and eventually it's tanks.
 * He sometimes breaks the 4th wall on cutscenes and animations, such as the quote above states.
 * His second cannon is just the same as his first one, but only fires every 2nd shot.
 * It just means that he fires like a COBRA or Engineer with twin guns.
