Monkey Ace route map
Monkey Ace starts simple, then splits into three Tier 5 jobs
Use Monkey Ace when fixed ground towers cannot reach enough lanes or when flight paths cross important track areas. It rewards understanding targeting patterns; otherwise, the shots can feel random.
Quick answer: what is Monkey Ace for?
Monkey Ace covers awkward maps by flying across the screen. Top path focuses dart damage, middle path adds bomb abilities, and bottom path improves reliable tracking and fortress-style cleanup.

Upgrade routes
Monkey Ace's three path identities
Use this as a role summary, not a patch-perfect damage table.
3-x-xFighter Plane
4-x-xOperation: Dart Storm5-x-xSky ShredderTop path
Sky Shredder
High-volume dart damage across repeated flight passes.
- Best when
- The Ace path crosses the track often enough to keep damage consistent.
- Watch out
- Bad flight alignment makes strong upgrades look unreliable.
- Beginner read
- Change flight pattern before assuming the tower is weak.
x-3-xBomber Ace
x-4-xGround Zerox-5-xTsar BombaMiddle path
Tsar Bomba
Large bomb ability for emergency wave control.
- Best when
- You can time the ability into dense or dangerous waves.
- Watch out
- Ability damage does not help if it is unused or mistimed.
- Beginner read
- This path teaches screen-wide active timing.
x-x-3Neva-Miss Targeting
x-x-4Spectrex-x-5Flying FortressBottom path
Flying Fortress
Reliable tracking and heavy map-wide cleanup.
- Best when
- You need a late-game flying damage platform with broad coverage.
- Watch out
- It is expensive and still benefits from buffs and property support.
- Beginner read
- Use it as a late plan, not as your first economy decision.
Common uses
When Monkey Ace makes sense
- Cover separated lanes that are awkward for fixed ground towers.
- Use Ground Zero or Tsar Bomba as timed panic buttons.
- Build a Flying Fortress plan when the economy can afford a late flying carry.
- Prepare the Ace family for Goliath Doomship Paragon planning.
Mistakes
What usually goes wrong
- Ignoring the Ace flight path and hoping random shots solve the lane.
- Buying expensive flight damage before basic camo and lead checks are covered.
- Forgetting to press bomb abilities during the rounds they were bought for.
- Assuming map-wide movement is the same as consistent damage on every map.
