Sharp Shooter is the Dart Monkey's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. With this upgrade, every 10th projectile shot by the Dart Monkey becomes a crit shot that deals 50 damage instead of the normal amount. Additionally, this upgrade increases its non-crit damage from 3 to 6, and increases its attack speed by +100% from every 0.95s to every 0.475s. It also increases its projectile speed by 33%, but reduces its projectile lifespan, so the maximum travel distance of its projectiles remains about the same.

With, Sharp Shots, shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +5 pierce (total of +8 pierce) with Razor Sharp Shots; in total, they have 7 and 12 pierce, respectively.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
This section was last updated for: version 52.2

For its cost, Sharp Shooter is a decent tower for early mid-game, with its crit shots breaking down blimps fairly well and occasionally one-shotting Ceramic Bloons. However, it suffers from low pierce and consistency when not placed on straight lines. Additionally, extra damage can hurt its performance against Ceramics: Sharp Shooter's 6 damage normally pops them fully in three hits, but buffing it with Berserker Brew or adding low-damage towers causes Ceramics to be popped into fast-moving Yellow or Pink clumps.

0-2-4 is generally preferred for higher single-target damage and reliability, but 2-0-4 can be used if other towers are present to cover leaks and the map has plenty of straight lines.

  • Buff Non-crit shot: Damage increased ― 4 → 5
    • Note: Does not affect x-x-5 (5)
  • Buff Placing any Dart Monkey Insta Monkey no longer consumes all free Dart Monkeys (bug fix)
  • Buff Base damage increased by 1
    • Note: Crit damage is unchanged
Dart Monkey at its core is an early game focus tower, so we added some projectile speed options to try and help with its tendency to miss faster Bloons.
— Update notes
  • Buff Projectile speed increased ― 300 → 400
    • Note: Crossbow Master unchanged at 450
We're happy enough with most of Dart Monkey's bottom path, but the T4 stepping stone has always felt pretty undesirable for the price point compared to T3 so we have just increased the attack rate slightly at tier 4
— Update notes
  • Buff Base attack cooldown decreased ― 0.95s → 0.85s
    • Note: Does not affect Crossbow Master (0.16s)
[...] and we’ve tweaked sharpshooter slightly to provide similar power but with more of a speed focus to enable more distinct crosspath choice between speed and pierce.
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.85s → 0.75s
  • Nerf Damage reduced ― 6 → 5
The previous sharpshooter rework caused more trouble than intended in setups without much other cleanup by popping Black Bloons into large clusters of reds which then clogged up the pierce. We decided to keep the buffed attack speed value as well as adding back the stronger damage value.
— Update notes
  • Buff Damage increased ― 5 → 6
  • Buff Camo Prioritization filter added
As Sharpshooter’s crit occurrence didn’t feel frequent enough the overall attack rate has been increased also just to lead better into the T5’s already high rate of fire. Along with this all Crossbow criticals have been standardized
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.75s → 0.6s
    • Note: Crossbow Master unaffected
  • Neutral Crit rate changed ― every 8–12 shots → every 10th shot
Current Sharp Shooter niches appear to struggle with some tight placement due to their high range opening up a ranged niche but being extremely tight on that range, given this is actually 'the range path' it feels fair to help this with a little further increased range.
— Update notes
  • Buff Range increased ― 56 → 60
Bottom path is seeing quality of life changes aimed at improved crosspathing and projectile speed progression as this path focusses on projectile range and speed.
— Update notes
  • Buff Projectile speed increased ― 400 → 450
    • Note: Crossbow Master projectile speed remains the same
1-0-4
  • Buff Pierce bonus increased ― +1 → +3
    • Total pierce increased from 4 to 6
    • Does not affect Crossbow Master (+8)
2-0-4
  • Buff Total pierce bonus increased ― +3 → +6
    • Total pierce increased from 6 to 9
    • Does not affect Crossbow Master (+8, total +16)
Shuffle on lower tier upgrade costs [...]
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $2,000 → $2,050
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Bottom path Dart Monkey has trouble with missing targets and tier 4 in particular seems to be a poor stepping stone for Crosspath Master, so Sharpshooter will now grant a large projectile speed boost and has greater of an attack speed increase
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.6s → 0.475s (attack speed increased by 26.32%)
    • Note: Stacks with the middle crosspath ― 0.51s → 0.4038s for 0-1-4 and ― 0.402s → 0.3183s for 0-2-4
  • Nerf Projectile lifespan decreased ― 0.2813s → 0.2109s
  • Buff Projectile speed increased ― 450 → 600
Crossbow’s pierce is being increased to more effectively match the number of Child Bloons that spawn when targets are popped open, the pierce crosspath is being improved even further as this change does effectively nerf the crosspath.
— Update notes
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 3 → 4
    • Note: X-X-5 Crossbow Master unchanged (8)
2-0-4
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 9 → 12
    • Note: 2-0-5 Crossbow Master unchanged (24)
1-0-4
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 6 → 7
    • Note: 1-0-5 Crossbow Master unchanged (16)
