best path

[Mr.McWoofers]

what is the best dart monkey path or paths?

[Narga95]

5-2-0 for ceramics
5-0-2 for camo ceramics
0-5-0 never unless memes
0-2-5 for everything else (some may say 2-0-5)

It is very hard to say "best". If it is something about CHIMPS, you need to think twice before investing more money to upgrade a tower that doesn't have Round 81 to 100 DPS. This is due to Super Ceramics, scaled up MOAB, and the way of how DDT is spawned.

Ultra-Jug: No Super Ceramic dmg, need decent bounces
Monkey Fan Club: Bottleneck in power
Plasma Fan Club: You need stalling to buy cooldown
Crossbow Master: Straight line to make the most out. If you need early pierce, get pierce instead.

Investing randomly low tier Dart just for early game will eat up your budget, especially in CHIMPS. If you late game strategy don't center on Dart, it's best to spend as minimum as possible, such as not upgrading them at all.

Sandbox, Challenge Editor helps to test your game plan and DPS.

pretty much this.
ultra jug is great for 63 and 76, but nothing else.
crossbow master is just good all around, but falls off a bit in the 90s.

I don't like build order or an inflexible recipe to build strategy. Things can get funny and hilarious when something outside from box just happened. I want OP to understand the concept instead. Like I said, my writing isn't good.

0-2-5 for every situation, can hit every bloon type at tier 5

[imag2OOO]

025 dart can more or less solo hard on a few maps the others are kinda meh

[DarkMatter]

002 dart is all I need.

*spams 204 subs.*

2-0-5 for anything
2-5-0 if you have a bunch grouped up
0-2-5 just in case you want your crossbow master even faster
5-0-2 when having trouble with moabs, also cheapest path

hope this helped

205 < 025
502 is only good for ceramics, and 520 is preferable if you can detect camo otherwise. Ultra-jug is NOT GOOD ON MOABS
why are you using 250

205 < 025

The only rare instance that one would need 2-0-5 is when one is trying to do like 2 tower run (ex: Extreme Odyssey), where it is something like Ezili and Crossbow. 0-2-4 will not have enough pierce to handle small bloons despite straight line advantage. In that situation, 2-0-4 is essential to survive and make early Crossbow Master possible.

If that Hero is something like Quincy or Adora, 0-2-4 is much better. Ppl choose attack speed bcs of critical hit and faster non-straight line clearing speed.

025 dart monkey is generally the best path but 205 is also good if you have it targetting last and you give it an alc buff

I dunno about that. 025 means you shoot more often which means more crits. Attack speed is a huge boost to Crossbow Master for that reason.

I assume the math has been done to compare it... alternatively, a quick sandbox I guess.

I don't know which one is better but if you give it the extra pierce and then let it target last alongside having an alc buff and primary training, it can shoot through a lot of bloons and will be landing several crits with all of its pierce. The alc buff is also based on attack speed, so its generally not a good idea to alc buff a tower with high attack speed since the buff will run out soon. If you don't have a perma brew, the the extra pierce in the top path will be very strong since the alc buffs will last longer.
