Juggernaut is the Dart Monkey's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the Spike-o-pult's attack speed and replaces its spiked balls with much larger balls that travel much faster and further, deal +3 damage to Ceramic Bloons and +2 damage to Fortified Bloons, can pop Lead Bloons, and have additional pierce (from 18 to 60). It also inflicts knockback on non-MOAB-Class Bloons (and deals +2 damage to blimps with 
Force vs Force), causing them to move backwards at 4× speed (2× for Lead and Ceramic Bloons) briefly with each hit. Enhanced Eyesight increases this knockback by 50% (6× and 3×, respectively).

Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 52.0
Juggernaut is a strong tower for early game and early mid-game on maps with obstacles, such as Cornfield, Ravine, and Dark Dungeons, where its projectiles can bounce off walls and hit Bloons repeatedly. However, on open maps, it falls short of other towers (e.g. Power 6 Adasaurus) due to low single-target damage. Unlike most towers of its price range, it stays relevant versus Super Ceramics due to its consistent Ceramic knockback. Juggernaut is also useful in Race Events in the same vein as Spike-o-pult when aiming down straight lines.
4-0-2 gives Camo detection, better knockback for late game utility, and the increased range allows for better fire angles on most maps. Meanwhile, 4-2-0 does more DPS, making it better during mid-game and Race Events, or if building up to Ultra-Juggernaut.

Updated description to include "that pops lead"
- "Juggernaut bounces improved" (bug fix)
Placing any Dart Monkey Insta Monkey no longer consumes all free Dart Monkeys (bug fix)
| “ | too many people were finding Juggernaut itself even further niche or lackluster on first impression. While retaining the overpower power potential we’ve added a beefy impact to each individual target hit, [...] — Update notes |
” |
- Damage increased ― 1 → 2
Pierce reduced ― 100 → 50
| “ | Juggernaut relying on ricochets felt too niche in the current game, sadly excelling in far too few situations, so instead the Ceramic damage strength has been increased leading a little better into the T5 and benefiting it in more general straight line situations. — Update notes |
” |
- Bonus to ceramics increased ― +2 → +3
| “ | To add a little more synergetic crosspath use for the Juggernaut 402 crosspath, xx2 will now also grant bonus projectile lifespan, this applies to any use of that crosspath though we feel it will in particular pair nicely with the ricocheting projectiles. — Update notes |
” |
- Juggernaut gains a slight Bloon knockback causing bloons to move backwards at 3x speed for 0.1s
| “ | While not appreciated by all because of a lack of map situations it applies well in, we enjoy the quite specific niche that Juggernaut fills. However, we wanted to make some minor tweaks allowing it to apply itself better against fortified ceramics — Update notes |
” |
- Now deals +2 damage to Fortified
- Resolved niche cases in which Juggernaut’s projectiles would not properly be able to hit targets again after rebounds (bug fix)
- No longer bounce back from the top of the stairs aiming down on Midnight Mansion (bug fix)
- Juggernaut’s bonus damage to fortified targets now works across crosspaths (bug fix)
| “ | While we have been working to increase this niche with many new maps, Juggernaut’s functions sub-optimally for the majority of current maps in the game as the knockback doesn’t scale well without good rebound opportunities; to help with this we’re increasing their knockback force slightly with even more emphasis on the less-favored crosspath. — Update notes |
” |
- Knockback duration increased ― 0.1s → 0.15s
- 4-0-2
- Knockback light multiplier increased ― 3× → 4.5×
- Note: Does not carry over to Ultra-Juggernaut
- Knockback heavy multiplier increased ― 1.5× → 2.25×
- Note: Does not carry over to Ultra-Juggernaut
| “ | Spike-o-pult’s piercing power in the extreme conditions is too cost effective compared to the Juggernaut so we’re tweaking these slightly to keep Juggernaut as a proper upgrade in Races. — Update notes |
” |
- Pierce increased ― 50 → 60
| “ | Juggernaut attacks too slow to fully utilize its knockback, so we’re doubling the knockback to regular Bloons with a smaller increase also to Ceramics. — Update notes |
” |
- Light knockback increased ― 3× → 6×
- Note: x-x-2 light knockback increased from 4.5x to 9x
- Heavy knockback increased ― 1.5× → 2×
- Note: x-x-2 heavy knockback increased from 2.25x to 3x
- Description changed ― "Hurls a giant spiked ball that pops lead and excels at crushing Ceramic and Fortified Bloons." → "Hurls a giant spiked ball that pops Lead and excels at crushing Ceramic and Fortified Bloons."
- Spiked Balls can now bounce from map borders (undocumented)
- Note: 5-X-X Ultra-Juggernaut projectiles also can bounce from map borders now but the split behavior takes priority. Paragon unchanged
- Projectile no longer bounces off map edges (bug fix)
- Note: Crosspaths unchanged. 5-X-X Ultra-Juggernaut unchanged (projectiles can still bounce, but split behavior takes priority). Paragon unchanged.
| “ | Juggernaut knockback is excessive against regular light Bloon targets and will be reduced. — Update notes |
” |
- Knockback for light Bloons decreased ― -5× → -3×
- 4-0-2
- Knockback for light Bloons decreased ― -8× → -5×
- 4-1-0, 4-2-0, 4-0-1, 4-0-2
- Projectiles should no longer bounce off map borders (bug fix)
