Influence

Influence is an attack behavior characterized by performing a full-uptime and influence-oriented buff to itself or others. It is part of the damage types family. All attacks with Influence are guaranteed to be of Passive type. If not assigned with Targets Tower(s), an attack with Influence considered only a self-buff.

Influence is represented on Bloons Wiki as, the tower icon for BTD6 Monkey Village, which depicts the notable influence-oriented buff nature of the Village. The distinguishing factor of Influence compared to Charge  is that Influence is both permanent and based on range, rather than applied. This means Permanent Brew and Call To Arms are not considered Influence but rather Charge

The concept of "Influence" has been established fully with the release of Lych, a Boss Bloon who steals applied buffs originating from non-hero towers. This distinguishment of "Influence" compared to "Charge" is done to distinguish which buffs are considered sappable and which ones aren't.

Most attacks require an upgrade to perform Influence except for Monkey Village, which has it by default.
