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 [[Temple of the Vengeful Monkey|BMC variant]]. It is a more powerful version of the [[True Sun God]], requiring the [[Monkey Knowledge Points|Monkey Knowledge]] skill, '[[There Can Be Only One (Monkey Knowledge Point)|There Can Be Only 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.

==Cost==
 
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:

In order to summon the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey, the player must follow the steps below:
   
 
#Have "[[There Can Be Only One (Monkey Knowledge Point)|There Can Be Only One]]" knowledge unlocked, have [[Monkey Knowledge Points|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).

#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).
+
#Build a Sun Temple with max sacrifices ($50,000 spent) in 3 out of 4 tower 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, especially if you have sacrificed Support towers, 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).
#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)

#Outside of the Temple's range, place and upgrade 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.

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.

  +
  +
==Troubleshooting==
  +
This section includes various requirements that are frequently missed when building the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey. It also serves as a more condensed version of the steps to create an AoTVM.
  +
  +
Ensure that:
  +
*Monkey Knowledge is not switched off (from the Monkey Knowledge menu), and that you are not playing in CHIMPS which automatically disables Monkey Knowledge.
  +
*The mode is not Sandbox mode
  +
*You have purchased the "There Can Only Be One" Monkey Knowledge in the Magic section.
  +
*You have sacrificed at least $50,000 worth of towers in at least three categories (out of Primary, Military, Magic, Support) to the Tier 4 [[Sun Temple]] (ie. $150,000 or more total in sacrifices)
  +
*You have sacrificed at least $50,000 worth of towers in at all categories (Primary, Military, Magic, Support) to the Tier 5 [[True Sun God]] (ie. $200,000 or more total in sacrifices)
  +
*You have purchased the [[Legend of the Night]] and [[The Anti-Bloon]], but not within the range of sacrificing to the [[True Sun God]].
  +
  +
To check if the value of each sacrifice category costed $50,000 or more, check the sell price(s) for each tower. If the combined sell prices for each category is above $35,000 or $37,500 with the Better Sell Deals MK, it costed above $50,000.
  +
  +
==Sacrifices==
  +
===Pre-Transformation Sacrifices===
  +
Before transforming into the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey via absorbing [[The Anti-Bloon]] and [[Legend of the Night]], an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey's sacrifices act exactly the same as the [[True Sun God]]. See the [[True Sun God#Sacrifices]] page for details regarding the sacrificing mechanics for the pre-transformed Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey.
  +
  +
===Fully Maxed Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey===
  +
When given to an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey with maxed sacrifices (assuming the 2/2/2/2 formation, even though it's technically impossible to have a 2/2/2/2 AotVM, as Sun Temples only accept 3 of 4 sacrifice categories), the following occurs. Extra bonuses compared to True Sun God are in bold:

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.

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. The main unofficial name "Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey" is coined in reference to the BMC variant. The Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey is a more powerful version of the True Sun God, requiring the Monkey Knowledge, "There Can Be Only One", $50,000+ worth of sacrifices on all four categories prior to upgrading from Sun Temple, along with a separate sacrifice of The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night outside its range.

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 gain 3x damage, making it arguably the single-most powerful tower in the entire game. It cannot be summoned in Sandbox Mode, nor can it be summoned on C.H.I.M.P.S., where Monkey Knowledge is disabled.

The total cost for an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey is complex; the cost section of this page will further explain the total costs in greater detail.

Cost

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, $107,015 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).
  • $1,213,145+ on Hard (4 * $50,000+ for the four tower categories, $135,970 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $337,175 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $540,000 for the True Sun God upgrade).
  • $1,325,720+ on Impoppable (4 * $50,000+ for the four tower categories, $151,080 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $374,640 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $600,000 for the True Sun God upgrade).

All above values do not account for extra money spent on sacrificing.

Creating an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey

The Troubleshooting section acts as a slightly condensed version of this section and may be more helpful if you cannot create the AoTVM. 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 max sacrifices ($50,000 spent) in 3 out of 4 tower 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, especially if you have sacrificed Support towers, 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, place and upgrade 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.
  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 both the Legend of the Night and The Anti-Bloon for the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey, as it is overall much more powerful than all 3 original Tier 5 Super Monkeys combined.

Troubleshooting

This section includes various requirements that are frequently missed when building the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey. It also serves as a more condensed version of the steps to create an AoTVM.

Ensure that:

  • Monkey Knowledge is not switched off (from the Monkey Knowledge menu), and that you are not playing in CHIMPS which automatically disables Monkey Knowledge.
  • The mode is not Sandbox mode
  • You have purchased the "There Can Only Be One" Monkey Knowledge in the Magic section.
  • You have sacrificed at least $50,000 worth of towers in at least three categories (out of Primary, Military, Magic, Support) to the Tier 4 Sun Temple (ie. $150,000 or more total in sacrifices)
  • You have sacrificed at least $50,000 worth of towers in at all categories (Primary, Military, Magic, Support) to the Tier 5 True Sun God (ie. $200,000 or more total in sacrifices)
  • You have purchased the Legend of the Night and The Anti-Bloon, but not within the range of sacrificing to the True Sun God.

To check if the value of each sacrifice category costed $50,000 or more, check the sell price(s) for each tower. If the combined sell prices for each category is above $35,000 or $37,500 with the Better Sell Deals MK, it costed above $50,000.

Sacrifices

Pre-Transformation Sacrifices

Before transforming into the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey via absorbing The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night, an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey's sacrifices act exactly the same as the True Sun God. See the True Sun God#Sacrifices page for details regarding the sacrificing mechanics for the pre-transformed Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey.

Fully Maxed Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey

When given to an Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey with maxed sacrifices (assuming the 2/2/2/2 formation, even though it's technically impossible to have a 2/2/2/2 AotVM, as Sun Temples only accept 3 of 4 sacrifice categories), the following occurs. Extra bonuses compared to True Sun God are in bold:

Primary
  • +40 pierce to main attack.
  • +100% attack speed to main attack.
  • +15 damage to main attack, for a total of 90 damage for the main attack
  • Adds 16 dark blades every 1.5 seconds, deals 75 damage, and has 20 pierce.
    • Dark blades are split between 22.5° from each other.
  • Adds a new dark glaive attack that fires every 0.5 sec. These dark glaives act like Glaive Riccochet glaives that bounce between the nearest bloons each time it moves. Dark glaives now have 90 damage and 50 pierce.
Military
  • +100% larger projectile size (caps at 100%)
  • +100% projectile speed (caps at 100%)
  • +30 pierce to all attacks
  • Shoots two dark missiles every 1.0 seconds. Travels at infinite range and can deal up to 225 damage to up to 50 bloons.
    • Second missile has increased projectile speed.
  • Gains four dark Spectres that shoots darts and bombs every 0.15s. Darts deal 45 damage and have 10 pierce, while bombs deal 30 damage and have 30 pierce.
    • First dark Spectre is set on Circle
    • Second dark Spectre is set on Circle, but anti clockwise. 
    • Third dark Spectre is set on Figure-Infinite
    • Fourth dark Spectre is set on Figure-Eight.
    • These function similarly to Ace Flight Paths
Magic
  • Adds 12 homing magic shots every 2.0s, dealing 105 damage and have 7 pierce each.
  • Gains a 40% chance to distract bloons with its main attack.
  • Gains a forcefield attack every 5.0s that can knockback bloons up to Ceramic and MOAB. Affects up to 500 bloons.
    • Adding additional sacrifices does not improve the forcefield attack; rather, the highest Magic sacrifice tier is used to determine the functionality of the forcefield attacks.
  • Can spawn mini dark Sun Avatars every 15 seconds that deal 12 damage per shot and without any footprint. By default, without adding attack speed bonuses, a maximum of 6 mini dark Sun Avatars can appear on the map at one time, as the mini dark Sun Avatars have a lifespan of 65 seconds.
Support
  • +10 range to base Temple
  • 40% discount to all base cost and upgrades of all towers in range
  • +4 damage, 40% attack speed bonus, +6 pierce, +40% range for all towers in range
  • +$10000 end of round cash
  • +100% more cash from bloons popped within range of the Temple

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 +66% increased attack speed. Ultraboost in particular adds a +6.67% 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 from the 14.0 patch notes.

Trivia

  • Even in co-op games that allow for multiple Tier 5 towers as long as they are from different players, only one Vengeful Monkey can be created at a time.
  • 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.
  • 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 replaced by a much weaker damage buff since Version 14.0.
