There can be only one.
~ "There Can Be Only One" MK description

The Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey (AKA Vengeful True Sun God, Vengeful Sun God, Dark True Sun God or the Dark Temple) is a tower added to Bloons Tower Defense 6 in the 3.0 update, named after the BMC variant. It is a more powerful version of the True Sun God, requiring the Monkey Knowledge skill, 'There Can Only Be One,' along with a separate sacrifice of The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night outside its range in order to become three times more powerful than normal. The Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey summons dark Sun Avatars and Spectres instead of the normal gold variants. It also shoots out deep red variants of the True Sun God's projectiles. Other than aesthetic changes, all of its attacks also become three times stronger. It cannot be summoned in Sandbox Mode, nor can it be summoned on C.H.I.M.P.S., where Monkey Knowledge is disabled.

It costs the same as a normal True Sun God, along with $50k of all tower categories (Primary, Military, Magic, Support) sacrificed prior to upgrading an existing Sun Temple, plus the costs of The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night outside the range of it. Combining the sacrificing costs and the upgrade cost of the True Sun God upgrade itself altogether, the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey upgrade costs the following:

  • $997,385+ on Easy (4 * $50,000+ for the four tower categories, $107015 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $265,370 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $425,000 for the True Sun God upgrade).
  • $1,138,100+ on Medium (4 * $50,000+ for the four tower categories, $125,900 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $312,200 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $500,000 for the True Sun God upgrade).
  • $1,213,148+ on Hard (4 * $50,000+ for the four tower categories, $135,972 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $337,176 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $540,000 for the True Sun God upgrade).

Creating an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey

In order to summon the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey, the player must follow the steps below:

  1. Have "There Can Be Only One" knowledge unlocked, have Monkey Knowledge enabled, play on a mode other than Sandbox Mode and C.H.I.M.P.S. (monkey knowledge is disabled in these modes).
  2. Build a Sun Temple with appropriate sacrifices (for the best results use $50,000 in 3 out of 4 categories), and then prepare $50,000+ sacrifices for all categories of towers for the True Sun God. Bear in mind that some towers may be discounted around the newly upgraded Sun Temple, so ensure the sell prices of each category sum up to more than $35,000 (or more than $37,500 with the Better Sell Deals MK).
  3. Outside of the Temple's range, create The Anti-Bloon (x/5/x Super Monkey) and The Legend of The Night (x/x/5 Super Monkey); they cannot be sacrificed to the creation of the TSG, otherwise the upgrade to AOTVM will fail. (To be safe, if possible move your Legend of the Night and Anti-Bloon out of the Sun Temple's range with an x/4/x Heli Pilot)
  4. Upgrade the Sun Temple into True Sun God. If the Monkey Knowledge Point "There Can Be Only One" is activated the God will first animate the creation of the True Sun God and then absorb the Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night, becoming a powerful Dark Temple.

The Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey is effectively identical to its standard form with the exception of its main attack (which gains +50 damage from 25 to 75) and a triple increase in damage to its magic Avatar summons (from 4 to 12, excluding damage buffs from support sacrifices) as well as its other sacrifice powers. This form also disables the Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night upgrades unless the Vengeful True Sun God is sold.

The Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey can only be summoned by having maxed sacrifices on both the Tier 4 Sun Temple and the True Sun God, so it will always be some variation of 2/2/2/1 as it is impossible to have a Tier 4 Temple maxed in all categories. The tier of sacrifice paths increases by having sacrifices inputted into the Sun Temple prior to upgrading to True Sun God. The additional benefits provided by the Sun Temple are additional to the minimal Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey. Keep in mind that it is worth it to sacrifice the True Sun god, Legend of the Night, and The Anti-Bloon, as the AotVM is much more powerful than all 3 of these combined.

Strategies

  • Unlike with a normal True Sun God, the optimal Vengeful God is a 2/2/2/1 setup, with maxed Primary, Military, and Magic Sacrifices. As the Vengeful God has the highest damage in the game, it is preferred to make it stronger over giving it a larger support buff to other weaker towers. The player can fill the buff to other towers through another tier 4 Sun Temple with support sacrifices as well.
  • Again, boosting the Vengeful God with a Permanent Brew Alchemist is highly advised as it boosts the rate of spawning powerful Dark Avatars and the Vengeful God's various attacks.
    • Do keep in mind that Dark Avatars are considered sub-powers and therefore are not able to be directly buffed by Permanent Brew.
      • However, the Avatars are able to be affected by area-of-effect buffs, such as Homeland Defense 's attack speed increase.
  • Use Overclocks and Ultraboosts for +80% increased attack speed. Ultraboost in particular adds a +8% permanent attack speed buff to the AotVM that stacks up to 10 times, on top of any Overclock abilities and any other attack speed buffs.
  • Use a tier 4 Sun Temple with support sacrifices to boost the power of the Vengeful Temple and your other late game support.

Update History

14.0

The +50 damage to mini-Avatars was possibly unintended originally, but in the 14.0 patch notes, it was labelled as a balance change. It is also speculated that the damage increase coming along with pierce and damage attack nerfs is to reduce lag by reducing the number of projectiles on screen at once. The changes affecting the True Sun God carrying over to the Vengeful True Sun God are calculated with the actual stats of the Vengeful True Sun God, not the True Sun God. This section is adapted (but not a direct copy) from the 14.0 patch notes.

Trivia

  • At a bare minimum, it costs $1,220,655 on Easy, $1,374,300 on Medium, $1,456,240 on Hard, and $1,579,160 on Impoppable (?).
  • If created with Adora in its range, Adora will also undergo a transformation and turn into colors matching that of the Vengeful Monkey, and gain a powerful strength boost.
    • Adora will not buff the Vengeful Monkey in return, however.
  • The design of the Vengeful Monkey temple may be based off of the other 5th tiers of the Super Monkey; the red eyes and metallic body come from the Anti-Bloon, and the dark color tone comes from the Legend of The Night
  • The mini Dark Sun Avatar artwork actually smiles instead of making a tilted frown.
  • In the sprite files of the game, it says that it is a 5-5-5 True Sun God. Every texture that involves the Vengeful Avatar is indicated as "TrueSunGod555" as the normal True Sun God is called "TrueSunGod5xx"
  • Its projectiles sprites are also said to be "555" but the normal True Sun God doesn't say.
  • There will soon be a link to see the difference of sprites between the Vengeful Avatar and True Sun God.
  • Prior to Version 14.0, the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey's mini Dark Sun Avatars would deal just over 50x more damage than a normal mini Sun Avatar (specifically from 1 damage per shot to 50 damage per shot). Rohan stated that this was a bug, and this unusual damage buff was quickly replaced by a much weaker damage buff.
