Strategy: lack of ceramic slowdown doesn't change anything when it almost instantly pops ceramics. Either way, this is horrible at cleanup due to the pierce problems even with fort bug.

	Liquefier~~'s lack of Ceramic slowdown~~ in ~~the Flash version makes it extremely ineffective for Bloon cleanup when~~ [[~~Bloon Dissolver (BMC)\|Bloon Dissolver~~]] ~~for much lower cost already damages fast~~ enough to ~~eliminate Regrows, and other cleanup options are just cheaper and~~ better ~~for such high cost. In~~ the {{~~multiplat~~ version of\|Bloons Monkey City}}, ~~it's not bad for cleanup when using the~~ Monkey Fort duplication glitch, but still ~~too expensive for this purpose unless the defense specifically struggles against non-blimps on Jungle tiles~~. In both versions, Bloon Liquefier is the most expensive Glue Gunner, being the main source for [[Temple Of The Monkey God (BMC)\|Temple Of The Monkey God]]'s Glue Gunner sacrifices.		Bloon Liquefier is far too expensive for its purpose, even in [[Jungle Terrain]] where it is favored, and has almost no pierce nor enough attack speed needed to handle the large swarms of ceramics that come out of groups of BFBs or ZOMGs. It becomes slightly better on the {{Multiplat version of\|Bloons Monkey City}}, where a Monkey Fort can trigger the sub-projectile duplication glitch to double its pierce, but it still often gets overwhelmed quickly.

			In both versions, Bloon Liquefier is the most expensive Glue Gunner, being the main source for [[Temple Of The Monkey God (BMC)\|Temple Of The Monkey God]]'s Glue Gunner sacrifices. Due to its high cost, a player only needs two of them to get max sacrifice bonuses.

	Bloon Sabotage is straightforward but versatile support tower; the slowdown ability offers more time for defenses, especially against DDTs, without relying on positioning. However, it's not as powerful against hyperdense rounds, since it cannot affect children from MOAB-class Bloons. It has some synergies with other supports, such as [[Embrittlement (BTD6)\|Embrittlement]] and [[Symphonic Resonance]], which both suffer from downtime. [[MOAB Glue (BTD6)\|MOAB Glue]] should be added to cover Sabo's downtime on less difficult rounds. It is most often used as a support tower for [[CHIMPS]] during late-game rounds.		Bloon Sabotage is straightforward but versatile support tower; the slowdown ability offers more time for defenses, especially against DDTs, without relying on positioning, and recommended to buy after Freeplay speed scaling begins.

	Timing of its ability during late-game is important. Round 95 is excessively long to the extent that one Sabo ability won't cover all DDTs. For rounds 98 and 99, starting with Sabo usually gives enough time for the ability to be ready for round 99, and always ensure the ability is up, or almost up, before round 99 begins.

Path 2: it's becoming really awkward to have both the basic upgrade outlines and the roles at the same time, because for upgrades like sabo it feels like the outline is all you need to summarize it completely, but shinobi has so much to it that it feels like there's nothing you can summarize here that would be useful when transcluded, so how the heck do you justify both of these existing

Update history:Bloons TD 6/Version 35.0

Qwertyxp2000 — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:17:39 GMT

"to moab-class to shinobis" doesn't make sense, sadly, but added "range bonus to shinobis" per the new Update History guidelines. Still no consensus on "reduced" vs "decreased" (ctrl+f checked for "decreased", still no answer). Do we use "Dragon's Breath attack"?

	*Changes to a "bonus" modifier, such as a damage bonus, should prefix the numbers with a "+" sign (e.g., "Damage to Ceramics increased — +3 → +5").
	*If a change is adding or removing a "bonus" modifier, it should simply list the bonus instead of comparing two numbers (e.g., "Now deals +5 damage to Ceramics" or "No longer deals +5 damage to Ceramics").
	*If a change to a property of an upgrade is a direct buff/nerf, but a change to a previous tier also affects that same property by extension, then the direct change to the upgrade should be listed first, then the ''overall'' impact when factoring in previous tiers should be listed in an indented line below it. For example: "{{nerf}} Attack cooldown modifier reduced — ×0.7 → ×0.8" and "{{buff}} Overall attack cooldown reduced — 0.6s → 0.5s (due to changes to previous tiers)".
	*If the subject has multiple mechanics, use the <code>\|name=</code> parameter of the change to label which mechanic(s) a change applies to. This is not necessary if a change applies to all mechanics or to the subject as a whole (e.g., "All attacks now deal +1 damage to Ceramics" instead of "'''All attacks''': Now deal +1 damage to Ceramics").		*If the subject has multiple mechanics, use the <code>\|name=</code> parameter of the change to label which mechanic(s) a change applies to. This is not necessary if a change applies to all mechanics or to the subject as a whole (e.g., "All attacks now deal +1 damage to Ceramics" instead of "'''All attacks''': Now deal +1 damage to Ceramics").
	**The name of a mechanic should be ~~written~~ in lowercase unless it is official (e.g., use "'''Main attack'''" instead of "'''Main Attack'''").		**In general, if an attack needs a name label and the attack is the primary way the tower attacks, simply refer to it as the "Main attack" (or "Main attacks" if the tower technically has multiple copies of the same attack, like [[Quad Darts (BTD6)\|Quad Darts]]). This does not apply if the tower has multiple different main attacks (like [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)\|Admiral Brickell]]) or the main attack has multiple projectiles (like [[Flash Bomb (BTD6)\|Flash Bomb]]).
			**The name of a mechanic should be in lowercase unless it is official (e.g., use "'''Main attack'''" instead of "'''Main Attack'''" normally, use "'''Main Gun'''" and "'''Machine Gun'''" for [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)\|Captain Churchill]]).
	**Changes to activated abilities should just be "'''Ability'''" unless the subject has multiple abilities, or the ability has a confirmed name different from the subject's name. If so, it should not end in "ability" (e.g., use "'''MOAB Takedown'''" instead of "'''MOAB Takedown ability'''").		**Changes to activated abilities should just be "'''Ability'''" unless the subject has multiple abilities, or the ability has a confirmed name different from the subject's name. If so, it should not end in "ability" (e.g., use "'''MOAB Takedown'''" instead of "'''MOAB Takedown ability'''").
			*If a change to a property of an upgrade is a direct buff/nerf, but a change to a previous tier also affects that same property by extension, then the direct change to the upgrade should appear first, followed by the ''overall'' impact when factoring in previous tiers on an indented line below it. For example: "{{nerf}} Attack cooldown modifier reduced — -30% → -20%" and "{{buff}} Stacks with buffs to the base attack cooldown; overall attack cooldown reduced — 0.6s → 0.5s".

			====Changes to modifiers====
			In this context, a modifier means something that isn't an absolute value (like the base damage of an attack), but anything that additively or multiplicatively modifies something else. This includes things like attacks that have different damage and/or pierce consumption against specific Bloon types, buffs applied by towers to other towers, changes that crosspaths make to towers, and debuffs that apply to Bloons.
			*For clarity's sake, if a modifier is to or against a specific kind of entity, generally "X modifier to Y entity" or "X modifier for Y entity" works best (e.g., "Range buff to Druids" or "Pierce penalty for bosses"). For crosspaths, use "X upgrade does Y to Z", that way tier 1 crosspaths that carry up to tier 2 will clarify which upgrade causes it (e.g., "Permafrost now applies to the ability")
			*If a change is adding or removing a modifier, it should simply state what the modifier is instead of comparing it (e.g., "Now deals +5 damage to Ceramics" or "No longer deals +5 damage to Ceramics").
			*If a change is to a strictly additive modifier, prefix the numbers with a "+" if the amount is positive or "-" if negative (e.g., "Damage to Ceramics increased — +3 → +5")
			*If a change is to a multiplicative modifier, the best way to represent it depends on the context, but in general:
			**If either value is less than or equal to 1 (and greater than or equal to -1), representing the values in terms of added or removed percentages is usually better, especially if the multiplier stacks additively (e.g., "Ability cooldown buff to Primary towers increased — -10% → -20%" instead of "Ability cooldown buff to Primary towers increased — 0.9× → 0.8×")
			**If both values are greater 1 (or less than -1), representing the values in terms of multiplication is usually better (e.g., "Knockback to MOAB-class increased — -3× → -4×")

'''Bloon Crush''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (Battles 2)\|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It lets the bombs apply a [[stun]] on [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, with the stun duration for both MOAB-class and ordinary Bloons increased from 1 to 1.75 seconds. Additionally, each explosion's damage increases from 3 to 30, gains {{BTDB2\|Unstoppable}} damage type, and further improves the [[Frag Bombs (Battles 2)\|Frag Bombs]] crosspath (30 damage and 20 pierce).

			==Strategy==
			{{BTDB2 last updated\|4.13\|section=y}}
			A very expensive but guaranteed way to stop visible DDTs, but since [[Bomb Blitz (Battles 2)\|Bomb Blitz]]'s passive does enough damage to all pre-round 30 rushes (except ZOMGs), even without external camo detection, Bloon Crush should be used to hold off MOAB-class Bloons to stall them during the late-game, and in the meanwhile using other options to handle pre-round 30 ZOMGs. When compared to the cheaper [[Icicle Impale (Battles 2)\|Icicle Impale]], Bloon Crush's full stun is more impactful against dense clumps of DDTs than Icicle Impale, holding DDTs for longer before getting overrun. Also, Bloon Crush is beneficial in loadouts that otherwise have poor DDT damage and otherwise wouldn't thrive with Ice, and going Bomb also opens up the option to use [[MOAB Assassin (Battles 2)\|MOAB Assassin]] and [[MOAB Eliminator (Battles 2)\|MOAB Eliminator]] for single-target damage.

			5-2-0 is preferred as this directly improves the stun rate of all Bloons, especially when combatting DDTs. 5-0-2's extra frag damage is not very useful since Bomb has many other reliable ways to break down dense clumps, and the less expensive [[Bomb Blitz (Battles 2)\|Bomb Blitz]] is usually sufficient at taking down most Tight rushes.

'''Super Brittle''' is the [[Ice Monkey (Battles 2)\|Ice Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. The debuff is improved to cause affected Bloons to take +4 damage for 2 seconds.

According to Update History MoS it says it's "Damage bonus to Ceramics", so should all of these be plural for Ceramics but not MOAB-class? Okay, still not done, but HOPEFULLY it means whoever goes fixes this page will need to do less work

dunno wording for "Now deals +20 Lead damage" and stuff like this, waiting for other sources to find what it is, because normal research can't seem to find it unless I ask, at least without looking around other articles (which would be a waste of time compared to making documentation, I reckon; not everything in terms of documentation must be scattered around articles

Shinobi armies: midgame sabo is so cool because it's a horrible way to use a really good upgrade but you can still make it work if you really feel like it

	to do: really explain how to build up shinobi armies over a run effectively, breaking it down by earlyish-mid-lategame		to do: really explain how to build up shinobi armies over a run effectively, breaking it down by earlyish-mid-lategame

			In general, most Shinobis aren't worth crosspathing, though in some cases, some Shinobis will need [[Seeking Shuriken (BTD6)\|Seeking Shuriken]] to reach more Ninjas. The [[Caltrops (BTD6)\|Caltrops]] crosspath can let Shinobis build up a decent amount of extra damage on long rounds, but it also causes a lot more lag and doesn't make much of a difference without using the Permanent Brew strategy. The path 1 upgrades make Shinobis even more consistent at distracting [[Super Ceramic Bloon]]s in the lategame, but usually this isn't necessary.

	~~support optionsss section:~~		In the midgame, usually one 4-0-2 [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)\|Bloonjitsu]] and one 3-0-0 [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)\|Berserker Brew]] next to it can carry up to the lategame, provided the player keeps building up Shinobis. Bloonjitsu takes out blimps, builds up a lot of extra damage over long rounds with its caltrops, and can usually clean up dense Ceramic rounds (63, 76, and 78 in the default roundset) with the help of Shinobi distraction-stalling. There are a few options for more support if needed:
	*[[~~Gwendolin~~ (BTD6)\|~~Gwendolin~~]]		*[[Flash Bomb (BTD6)\|Flash Bomb]] is a decent Ceramic control supplement. It can also help pop Leads, though Berserker Brew's AMD buffs (and its own acid attack, if its position allows it to reach the Leads) are usually good enough for those. It also carries up to [[Master Bomber (BTD6)\|Master Bomber]].
	*[[~~Pat Fusty~~ (BTD6)\|~~Pat Fusty~~]]		*[[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)\|Bloon Sabotage]] is a stepping stone to [[Grand Saboteur (BTD6)\|Grand Saboteur]], but it's much more expensive than Flash Bomb (even if it saves money on the lower tiers) and the ability doesn't really suit midgame rounds, unlike endgame rounds.
	*[[~~Geraldo~~ (BTD6)\|~~Geraldo~~]]'s ~~buffing items synergize nicely with Shinobis; [[Jar of Pickles]] and [[Sharpening Stone]] are powerful~~ buffs ~~for Bloonjitsu~~ and ~~Grandmaster Ninja~~, ~~and [[Bottle of 'Gerry's Fire' Hot Sauce\|Gerry's Fire]] benefits from Shinobi buffs when applied~~ to ~~any Ninja~~.
	*A 2-0-2 [[~~Monkey Village~~ (BTD6)\|~~Monkey Village~~]] ~~is very helpful, greatly reducing the costs to build Shinobi armies, as well as increasing their buffing range and attack speed~~.
	*[[~~Glue Strike~~ (BTD6)\|~~Glue Strike~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Glue Storm~~ (BTD6)\|~~Glue Storm~~]]

	~~midgame explanation????:~~		There are a few options for an endgame win condition. In [[CHIMPS]], generally only one of these is affordable, but with cash generation, mixing and matching them is possible.
	*[[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)\|Bloonjitsu]]		*Bloonjitsu transitions smoothly into [[Grandmaster Ninja (BTD6)\|Grandmaster Ninja]], but it needs support for DDTs and sometimes for dense blimps (round 98 in the default roundset).
	*[[Flash Bomb (BTD6)\|Flash Bomb]] is a decent Ceramic control supplement that also helps with Leads. ....		*Upgrading Berserker Brew to [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)\|Permanent Brew]], and getting more Bloonjitsus for it to buff, trades Grandmaster Ninja's generally better DPS for an easy DDT solution. This also technically makes it worth getting Caltrops on all the Permabrew-buffed Shinobis, but that causes agonizing amounts of lag.
	*Upgrading one of the Shinobis to Bloon Sabotage		**With multiple Bloonjitsus, the player can also spread their DPS out more across the map, but without buying even more Shinobis, it can be difficult to really take advantage of this while still having enough Shinobi stacks on them.
			*[[Master Bomber (BTD6)\|Master Bomber]] has worse overall DPS but excels against dense rounds and handles DDTs.
	There are a few options for ~~the~~ endgame. In [[CHIMPS]], generally only one of these is affordable, but ~~in other modes~~, mixing and matching them is possible.		*[[Grand Saboteur (BTD6)\|Grand Saboteur]]
	*Bloonjitsu transitions smoothly into [[Grandmaster Ninja (BTD6)\|Grandmaster Ninja]], but it needs support for dense ~~rounds and DDTs~~.
	*~~More Bloonjitsus, paired with a~~ [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)\|Permanent Brew]], ~~trade~~ Grandmaster Ninja's ~~overall~~ DPS for more ~~area coverage and consistency against immune Bloons~~.
	*~~Flash Bomb saves up for~~ [[Master Bomber (BTD6)\|Master Bomber]]~~, which~~ has worse overall DPS but excels against dense rounds and handles DDTs.
	*~~Bloon Sabotage saves up for~~ [[Grand Saboteur (BTD6)\|Grand Saboteur]]
	*[[Total Transformation (BTD6)\|Total Transformation]]		*[[Total Transformation (BTD6)\|Total Transformation]]

	In [[Freeplay]], these endgame options combined with more Bloonjitsus can even outperform [[Sun Temple (BTD6)\|Sun Temples]], especially with their range buffed by an [[Ascended Shadow]]. (See [[Strategy:Freeplay (BTD6)]])<!-- should freeplay strats be covered in-depth on this page or the freeplay page? in general i lean towards covering mode-specific strategies on the pages for those modes, but freeplay is a bit different because it's an extension of normal gameplay -->		In [[Freeplay]], these endgame options combined with more Bloonjitsus can even outperform [[Sun Temple (BTD6)\|Sun Temples]], especially with their range buffed by an [[Ascended Shadow]].

			*[[Gwendolin (BTD6)\|Gwendolin]]: Heat It Up and Cocktail of Fire help with dense Bloons and Leads before the Shinobis really ramp up, but her main purpose is buffing Grandmaster Ninja in the lategame for the DDT rounds. Berserker Brew may be worth getting earlier due to its synergy with Cocktail of Fire.

	to do: really explain how to build up shinobi armies over a run effectively, breaking it down by earlyish-mid-lategame		to do: really explain how to build up shinobi armies over a run effectively, breaking it down by earlyish-mid-lategame

			In general, most Shinobis aren't worth crosspathing, though in some cases, some Shinobis will need [[Seeking Shuriken (BTD6)\|Seeking Shuriken]] to reach more Ninjas. The [[Caltrops (BTD6)\|Caltrops]] crosspath can let Shinobis build up a decent amount of extra damage on long rounds, but it also causes a lot more lag and doesn't make much of a difference without using the Permanent Brew strategy. The path 1 upgrades make Shinobis even more consistent at distracting [[Super Ceramic Bloon]]s in the lategame, but usually this isn't necessary.

	~~support optionsss section:~~		In the midgame, usually one 4-0-2 [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)\|Bloonjitsu]] and one 3-0-0 [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)\|Berserker Brew]] next to it can carry up to the lategame, provided the player keeps building up Shinobis. Bloonjitsu takes out blimps, builds up a lot of extra damage over long rounds with its caltrops, and can usually clean up dense Ceramic rounds (63, 76, and 78 in the default roundset) with the help of Shinobi distraction-stalling. There are a few options for more support if needed:
	*[[~~Gwendolin~~ (BTD6)\|~~Gwendolin~~]]		*[[Flash Bomb (BTD6)\|Flash Bomb]] is a decent Ceramic control supplement. It can also help pop Leads, though Berserker Brew's AMD buffs (and its own acid attack, if its position allows it to reach the Leads) are usually good enough for those. It also carries up to [[Master Bomber (BTD6)\|Master Bomber]].
	*[[~~Pat Fusty~~ (BTD6)\|~~Pat Fusty~~]]		*[[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)\|Bloon Sabotage]] is a stepping stone to [[Grand Saboteur (BTD6)\|Grand Saboteur]], but it's much more expensive than Flash Bomb (even if it saves money on the lower tiers) and the ability doesn't really suit midgame rounds, unlike endgame rounds.
	*[[~~Geraldo~~ (BTD6)\|~~Geraldo~~]]'s ~~buffing items synergize nicely with Shinobis; [[Jar of Pickles]] and [[Sharpening Stone]] are powerful~~ buffs ~~for Bloonjitsu~~ and ~~Grandmaster Ninja~~, ~~and [[Bottle of 'Gerry's Fire' Hot Sauce\|Gerry's Fire]] benefits from Shinobi buffs when applied~~ to ~~any Ninja~~.
	*A 2-0-2 [[~~Monkey Village~~ (BTD6)\|~~Monkey Village~~]] ~~is very helpful, greatly reducing the costs to build Shinobi armies, as well as increasing their buffing range and attack speed~~.
	*[[~~Glue Strike~~ (BTD6)\|~~Glue Strike~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Glue Storm~~ (BTD6)\|~~Glue Storm~~]]

	~~midgame explanation????:~~		There are a few options for an endgame win condition. In [[CHIMPS]], generally only one of these is affordable, but with cash generation, mixing and matching them is possible.
	*[[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)\|Bloonjitsu]]		*Bloonjitsu transitions smoothly into [[Grandmaster Ninja (BTD6)\|Grandmaster Ninja]], but it needs support for DDTs and sometimes for dense blimps (round 98 in the default roundset).
	*[[Flash Bomb (BTD6)\|Flash Bomb]] is a decent Ceramic control supplement that also helps with Leads. ....		*Upgrading Berserker Brew to [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)\|Permanent Brew]], and getting more Bloonjitsus for it to buff, trades Grandmaster Ninja's generally better DPS for an easy DDT solution. This also technically makes it worth getting Caltrops on all the Permabrew-buffed Shinobis, but that causes agonizing amounts of lag.
	*Upgrading one of the Shinobis to Bloon Sabotage		**With multiple Bloonjitsus, the player can also spread their DPS out more across the map, but without buying even more Shinobis, it can be difficult to really take advantage of this while still having enough Shinobi stacks on them.
			*[[Master Bomber (BTD6)\|Master Bomber]] has worse overall DPS but excels against dense rounds and handles DDTs.
	There are a few options for ~~the~~ endgame. In [[CHIMPS]], generally only one of these is affordable, but ~~in other modes~~, mixing and matching them is possible.		*[[Grand Saboteur (BTD6)\|Grand Saboteur]]
	*Bloonjitsu transitions smoothly into [[Grandmaster Ninja (BTD6)\|Grandmaster Ninja]], but it needs support for dense ~~rounds and DDTs~~.
	*~~More Bloonjitsus, paired with a~~ [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)\|Permanent Brew]], ~~trade~~ Grandmaster Ninja's ~~overall~~ DPS for more ~~area coverage and consistency against immune Bloons~~.
	*~~Flash Bomb saves up for~~ [[Master Bomber (BTD6)\|Master Bomber]]~~, which~~ has worse overall DPS but excels against dense rounds and handles DDTs.
	*~~Bloon Sabotage saves up for~~ [[Grand Saboteur (BTD6)\|Grand Saboteur]]
	*[[Total Transformation (BTD6)\|Total Transformation]]		*[[Total Transformation (BTD6)\|Total Transformation]]

	In [[Freeplay]], these endgame options combined with more Bloonjitsus can even outperform [[Sun Temple (BTD6)\|Sun Temples]], especially with their range buffed by an [[Ascended Shadow]]. (See [[Strategy:Freeplay (BTD6)]])<!-- should freeplay strats be covered in-depth on this page or the freeplay page? in general i lean towards covering mode-specific strategies on the pages for those modes, but freeplay is a bit different because it's an extension of normal gameplay -->		In [[Freeplay]], these endgame options combined with more Bloonjitsus can even outperform [[Sun Temple (BTD6)\|Sun Temples]], especially with their range buffed by an [[Ascended Shadow]].

			support optionsss section: (this might be another thing that can use lst, like if the strategy pages for support towers listed the towers they support in a table, the supported towers could transclude the table rows)
			*[[Gwendolin (BTD6)\|Gwendolin]]: Heat It Up and Cocktail of Fire help with dense Bloons and Leads before the Shinobis really ramp up, but her main purpose is buffing Grandmaster Ninja in the lategame for the DDT rounds. Berserker Brew may be worth getting earlier due to its synergy with Cocktail of Fire.
