Does monkey knowledge hamper your skills

[Torres, The Devourer]

Hello guys. I’ve recently been playing bt6 a lot and I’ve been having a blast! But I can’t help but wonder; does monkey knowledge gamer your skills? Like, will I improve more without monkey knowledge than with it?

maybe? just play chimps if you're so worried about it though.

That is true… but I haven’t yet unlocked chimps for any map yet. I guess I’m trying to “train” for chimps.

not really, it might alter certain strats or incredibly specific monkies but if you keep that in mind for later you're fine.

Well, I guess you’re right…
But what about the general buffs, like extra starting money or cheaper and faster leveling Hero’s? What about those

What does that mean. Does it mean If I want to play harder maps without these perks can I individually disable them?

yes you can, go onto the Monkey Knowledge section and disable then there.

lemme reclarify, certain strats are including but not limited to;
using the free dart/gluegunner to save on starting cash, 2-x-x super monkey popping purple bloons, 4-x-x dartling gunners crossing beams to create an AoE, Monkey ace on "wingmonkey" (chases whoever's in first), deposit strats for x-3-x banana farms. x-4-x boomerang monkey seeing camo on active ability usage. etc.

hopefully that clarifies this.

ohhhhhhhhhh. Thank you!

I suppose I could always ignore those perks or disable them if need be, but they don't sound too gameplay-altering. In fact, in harder no chimps have difficulties, it'd be silly not to run them so as to lose out on an advantage. That way I can unlock chimps mode on harder difficulties and test the skills that I've learned there!

y'know, sometimes it can really help to talk about things out load to help you think. Thanks so much for your insight!

2-x-x super monkey popping purple bloons,

it's 3xx

You'll want the MK for things like Half Cash anyways. To make HC mode bearable on certain maps.

You'll be a pro gamer by time you unlocked all MK lol Only issue is when you forget about some critical/relevant MK things when doing no-MK maps/challenges/CT.

For example, if I don't notice a map is no-MK restricted and I try to use a sun temple expecting it to be able to pop purples on its own.

[Ackranome]

Chimps takes away the MK - so no?

You should try out things like Odyssey Hard mode or Scoop Tale. There are games where you cannot utilize Monkey Knowledge or favorite towers. So you don't have to worry too much.

You know, I should give odyssey a fair shot. It seems like a good way to make money and trophies.
