I recently came back to the game and got curious about which monkeys are the most efficient. This is a very simplified experiment that doesn't account for every parameter, but I think it can still be useful to someone.

I took all 26 towers, and for each one all 64 possible upgrade combinations, plus the paragon where there is one. For some monkeys I also collected data with different targeting priority settings. Then I found the "best" spot for each monkey on Monkey Meadow - the one that covers the largest part of the track. I don't think it's genuinely the ideal spot for every monkey, but it's a reasonable simplification. And I collected full stats across all 140 rounds on how well each monkey did on its own.

In the end I was able to get stats on the best monkeys by price-to-value ratio. The monkeys that can clear the most rounds without leaks for their price, and deal the most damage for their price.

I understand this doesn't account for a lot of things like buffs, monkey combinations and active abilities, but I still think it's an interesting experiment.

I ran 1,714 CHIMPS games to round 140 to measure how well every monkey handles every round
