Naval Upgrades

“	Monkey Buccaneer and Monkey Sub get +1 pierce per shot.	”
	^{~ In-game description}

Naval Upgrades is an upgrade in the Military Monkey Knowledge tree. It increases the pierce of all Monkey Subs and Monkey Buccaneers by +1. It does not have a prerequisite Monkey Knowledge requirement.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

A very simple +1 pierce buff unlocked early on the game that provides a significant benefit to Subs and Buccaneers. It is very impactful for multi-projectile shots such as Grape Shot and Airburst Darts.

Tips[]

The +1 pierce to base Monkey Sub makes the Monkey Sub significantly more powerful for the early-game in many scenarios, especially versus multiple spaced bloons.
- This is because the Monkey Sub's darts will home in on bloons, meaning they utilize all of their pierce with each shot. So, this monkey knowledge effectively increases the DPS of early game Subs by 50%.
Airburst Darts also gain +1 pierce per dart, making them more reliable early-game grouped popping power.
This is also extremely helpful for Grape Shot, as it doubles the pierce amount to 2 per grape, adding much more reliability to the Buccaneer's grouped popping power.
