Now testing for ~~Ninja~~ Monkeys.

Now testing for Boomerang Monkeys.

~~== General ==~~

Ninjas are noted for their ability to bypass bloon immunities and hold out against most of the early game by themselves. However, they suffer late-game due to their low damage rate on their own and weakness to large numbers of blimps, mostly acting as support popping power when that time comes. With Ninja-focused defenses, buffs and cleanup are needed to support them late-game.

~~== Base ==~~

The base tower has average [[pierce]] but good [[range]] and [[attack speed]]. It is twice as expensive as a Dart Monkey, but its attack speed makes it an excellent lone starting tower on easier maps, and can reliably start advanced maps with a Dart Monkey for support.

~~== Path 1 ==~~

Path 1 is DPS-focused, although it needs external buffs, such as from [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemists]], to be effective in the late-game. Path 3 is generally preferred, as the [[Seeking Shuriken (BTD6)|Seeking Shurikens]] maximize the Ninja’s attacks, whilst [[Caltrops (BTD6)|Caltrops]] provide extra damage. Path 2 is better left to the Shinobi Ninjas that are necessary for this path to be effective.

[[Ninja Discipline (BTD6)|Ninja Discipline]] is a valuable crosspath and essential early-game upgrade, as the Ninja has very little other attack speed upgrades. [[Sharp Shurikens (BTD6)|Sharp Shurikens]] makes the shuriken attack much more effective, and is necessary to maximize the potential of Seeking Shuriken.

Double Shot acts as better cleanup, particularly when paired with Seeking Shuriken. Its cheap price makes spamming 3-0-1 Ninjas highly effective, particularly if paired with [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] Alchemists to let them handle the Leads and deal extra blimp damage.

Bloonjitsu provides much more cleanup and DPS, and its relatively slow fire rate and high projectile count make it a perfect match with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] and above, getting even more effective with {{BTD6 mk|Deadly Tranquility}}. Their low price also allows them to be spammed, and although more Double Shot Ninjas can be purchased to match up to its projectile count, Bloonjitsu synergizes better with Alchemist buffs and [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]], making upgrading to this level very worth it with said buffs. Without buffs, however, its popping power is rather lackluster.
