Pre-emptive Strike
Automatically triggers an extra anti-MOAB missile whenever MOAB-Class Bloon spawns from the Bloon entrance. Tower Path Tier Cost Monkey Sub 2 5 $30,000
← First Strike Capability

Pre-emptive Strike is the Monkey Sub's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. It grants Monkey Sub an additional missile attack that automatically fires one powerful missile at every MOAB-Class Bloon that enters the map. This missile deals 1000 damage to the target but it does not soak through multiple layers.

In addition, its own First Strike ability is improved:

• Ability cooldown is reduced to 30 seconds
• Initial impact damage increased from 7,000 to 11,000, while retaining 200 AoE damage. The main target now takes a total of 11,200 damage.

Additionally, its own Ballistic Missile attack has a much shorter cooldown (from 1.105 seconds to 0.5 seconds) and improves their damage; its base damage increases from 2 to 10, bonus Ceramic damage from +5 to +25, and bonus MOAB damage from +5 to +25.
