Enhanced Eyesight (BTD5), for the BTD5 counterpart

[Source]

“	Shoots even further and can detect Camo Bloons.	”
	^{~ In-game description}

Enhanced Eyesight is the second upgrade of Path 3 for the Dart Monkey in Bloons TD 6. In addition to +8 range (40 to 48, for around +50% compared to a 0-0-0 Dart Monkey), the Dart Monkey can now target and pop Camo Bloons. Enhanced Eyesight also even slightly increases projectile lifespan by 20% and increases projectile speed by 10%, and grants the Camo Prioritization target option.

This upgrade costs $170 on Easy, $200 on Medium, $215 on Hard, and $240 on Impoppable.

Description[]

Overview[]

The Dart Monkey's wristbands change from green to red. For Spike-o-Pult and Juggernaut, these color changes are painted on the arms of the catapults instead.

Gains another +8 range, for a total of +16 range, and projectiles are thrown 10% faster. Base projectile speed is 330, and its projectile lifespan increases 20%.

Targeting Priorities[]

Enhanced Eyesight targets bloons using the standard targeting priorities. It shoots straight movement projectiles.

First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range.
Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range.
Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range.
Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range.

Enhanced Eyesight can access Camo Prioritization, allowing all its attacks to prioritize Camo Bloons over other types when this secondary targeting option is active.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

The 0-0-2 Dart Monkey is the cheapest camo detection in the entire game and possesses quite high range for its price, at only the cost of $490 on Medium, even cheaper than a 0-0-0 Ninja Monkey. Not only is Enhanced Eyesight useful for early camo rounds, the 0-0-2 Dart Monkey acts as a cost-effective camo range for Advanced Intel Subs.

Tips[]

Enhanced Eyesight should suffice for the Round 24 Camo Green, while more upgrades may be needed for later rounds with camo.
When using 0-0-2 Dart Monkeys as camo range for Advanced Intel, place these Dart Monkeys such that they cover a considerable proportion of the track. If limited on budget, start with the area that covers the most bloon track for all possible rounds.

Version History[]

Balance Changes[]

One minor projectile speed buff to make it more reliable at catching faster Camo Bloons, as well as to make Path 3 crosspathing a little more viable. It also received a buff to projectile lifespan to potentially encourage crosspathing variety for Juggernaut and above regardless of the provided camo detection.

20.0

“	Dart Monkey at its core is an early game focus tower, so we added some projectile speed options to try and help with its tendency to miss faster Bloons. [...]	”
	^{~ Ninja Kiwi}

Enhanced Eyesight increases projectile speed slightly (300 → 330)

28.0

“	Instead of saying the same thing each time; many specific crosspaths that add a 'camo specialty' to a tower end up being viewed as rather inferior crosspaths due to camo being quite available to pick up through other methods. To give these upgrades more use even with other forms of camo reveal in play, we have added a brand new Camo Prioritization option that is added to the towers when taking this crosspath. When enabled this filter combines the selected target method with Camo Prioritization (e.g. Strong Camo would work through all Camos in strength order, then revert to normal Strong until any new Camos show up). Individual Monkeys are called out below.	”
	^{~ Ninja Kiwi, referring to "Camo Prioritization" target option}

Enhanced Eyesight now grants Dart Monkey the new Camo Prioritization filter.

31.0

“	To add a little more synergetic crosspath use for the Juggernaut 402 crosspath, xx2 will now also grant bonus projectile lifespan, this applies to any use of that crosspath though we feel it will in particular pair nicely with the ricocheting projectiles. [...]	”
	^{~ Ninja Kiwi, referring to 4-0-1 and 4-0-2 Juggernaut}

Enhanced Eyesight also increases projectile lifespan +20%

Trivia[]

Owing to the fact Enhanced Eyesight is the cheapest, and likely earliest unlocked, camo detection upgrade in the entire game, in conjunction with the common meme of a camo bloon being treated as totally invisible, even to actual players, it is a common joke to suggest one needs to wear red wristbands in order to spot the "invisible" camo bloon.
- This is, of course, a reference to Enhanced Eyesight's own red wristbands.
