- The Dart Monkey is an effective tower to deal with the first few Camo bloons in a game before more permanent anti-Camo measures can be installed, as it's cheap camo detection upgrade can be easily built into and also flows nicely into it's third Path.
- While the Dart Monkey tends to fall off in later rounds, it's not without use. There are several effective strategies involving the Dart, including Super Monkey FanClubs and the elusive Apex Plasma Master.
- 3 0-0-0 Dart Monkies is a fine way to start most maps, especially on harder modes and if you aren't using a cheap Hero.
