Scholar

"Apply 10 Monkey Knowledge points"

- BTD6 description

Scholar is an achievement in BTD6 introduced in the initial release. It is achieved by applying 10 Monkey Knowledge points in total for the first time. The reward for completing Scholar is 100 and one 0-0-1 Druid Insta-Monkey.

Summary
Overall, Scholar provides a nice reward for a trivial achievement since the player can easily level up early on. The Insta-Monkey isn't as useful however, as a 0-0-1 Druid is cheap to get ingame, only being useful if the player is willing to try and collect all of the Druid Insta-Monkeys. Scholar can be earned through regular play, so the player doesn't have to go out of their way to try and earn it.

Tips

 * It is recommended that the player tries to unlock the Mo' Monkey Money knowledge, as the Mo' Monkey Money knowledge gives bonus Monkey Money on all difficulties, allowing the player to get more Monkey Money at a low level. Note that the Mo' Monkey Money knowledge is disabled on C.H.I.M.P.S.
 * It is recommended that the player tries to unlock the Mana Shield knowledge, as the Mana Shield knowledge gives 25 extra regenerating lives on all difficulties. Note that Mana Shield is disabled on Impoppable and C.H.I.M.P.S.
 * It does not matter what knowledge the player unlocks, all it requires is 10 Monkey Knowledge points spent in total.
 * The Heroes knowledge tree can be a good tree to put Monkey Knowledge points into, as Self-Taught Heroes or Empowered Heroes can make Heroes more viable, with Self-Taught Heroes letting Heroes gain more XP per round and Empowered Heroes letting Heroes immediately level up to Level 3 upon placement.
