Strategy[]
Summary[]
More range can be useful in a few select scenarios where needing to shoot further is necessary. Many of these involve needing to make shots sooner, or to just reach slightly further to hit a particular section of track. However, most occasions tend to call for an additional tower, or opting for the speed or pierce upgrades for consistent shots.
Tips[]
- Simply buy this upgrade if more range is necessary. This may help the Dart Monkey throw along straight lines more effectively or to simply reach bloons from further.
- Long Range Darts has as much range as the base towers for Bomb Shooter, Wizard Monkey, Ninja Monkey, or Engineer Monkey.
