'''MOAB Domination''' is the [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It greatly~~ improves ~~both~~ the ~~Boomerang Monkey's~~ regular [[Kylie Boomerang (BTD6)|Kylie Boomerang]] and ~~its MOAB-pressing~~ [[MOAB Press (BTD6)|~~Heavy Kylie~~]].

'''MOAB Domination''' is the [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade throws boomerangs faster, and improves the damage and pierce of the regular [[Kylie Boomerang (BTD6)|Kylie Boomerang]] and [[MOAB Press (BTD6)|heavy kylie]] attacks. Instead of returning, each Heavy kylie creates an explosion that burns nearby Bloons.

* Regular Kylie ~~damage increased~~ from 2 to 12, pierce ~~increased~~ from 18 to 54, and attack speed of this attack ~~increased~~ by +100%

* '''Regular Kylie''': Damage increases from 2 to 12, pierce increases from 18 to 54, and attack speed of this attack increases by +100%.

* Heavy Kylie attack speed ~~increased by +100%~~ (~~5 seconds instead of~~ 10), can target and attack through line-of-sight blockers, and is able to target all [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], even those that it cannot push back (i.e. [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s and [[Boss Bloon]]s). The heavy Kylie stuns [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] for 0.25 seconds,~~~~ its bonus [[MOAB-Class damage]] ~~increased~~ from +4 to +24, pierce ~~increased~~ from 200 to 300, and explodes instead of returning.

* '''Heavy Kylie''': +150% attack speed (from 10 to 4 second cooldown), can target and attack through line-of-sight blockers, and is able to target all [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], even those that it cannot push back (i.e. [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s and [[Boss Bloon]]s). The heavy Kylie stuns [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] for 0.25 seconds, its bonus [[MOAB-Class damage]] increases from +4 to +24, pierce increases from 200 to 300, and it explodes instead of returning (or upon running out of pierce). The explosion deals 100 {{BTD6 dt|Normal}} type damage to all Bloons in a radius of 50, with 40 pierce, and applies a burn damage-over-time effect which deals 50 damage/second for 4 seconds.

** Explosion deals 100 Normal type damage to all Bloons in a radius of 50, with 40 pierce, and applies a burn damage-over-time effect which deals 50 damage/second for 4 seconds

With the first-path crosspaths, it gains the following:

With ~~top~~ crosspaths, it gains the following:

*[[Improved Rangs (BTD6)|Improved Rangs]]: +100 heavy Kylie pierce (400 total), +4 regular Kylie pierce (58).

*[[Improved Rangs (BTD6)|Improved Rangs]]: +100 heavy Kylie pierce (400), +4 regular Kylie pierce (58).

*[[Glaives (BTD6)|Glaives]]: +120 heavy Kylie pierce (520), +23 regular Kylie pierce (81), +50% radius for heavy Kylies (projectile: 15, explosion: 75), +50% pushback (base: 2 → 3), and +10 explosion pierce (50).

MOAB Domination is a powerful late-game tower focusing on both group damage and knockback. Its press attacks shred through dense groups of blimps while the regular Kylie Boomerangs deal much more damage to help with cleaning up Ceramics. It pairs well with {{BTD6|Overclock}} due to that improving both its damage and its knockback, and since knockback is weak against fast-moving {{BTD6|DDT}}s it should also be paired with DDT slowdown towers such as {{BTD6|Bloon Sabotage}}. The main Kylie attacks can effectively deal with ~~ceramics~~ if it can attack down a straight line, but otherwise it will need help with cleaning up the Ceramic rushes it can often create.

0-2-5 is the better crosspath as it has ~~better~~ damage output in all cases. 2-0-5 ~~deals~~ more knockback against dense groups of 30+ blimps~~, but even then~~ 0-2-5 ~~still gives more DPS~~.

The Press attack can hit a given target up to 12 times in testing, so 0-2-5 MOAB Domination without percentage pierce buffs starts to reduce the number of hits, and therefore knockback, per target when hitting about 25 tightly packed blimps. Due the fact that 2-0-5 gives 50% more knockback per target while 025 gives 66.7% attack speed to the Press attack, 2-0-5 starts providing more knockback against roughly 28 blimps, but still significantly less damage. The less frequent Press can also make 2-0-5 less reliable against DDTs and managing multiple simultaneous lanes.

Therefore, 0-2-5 is generally the better crosspath as it has more damage output in practically all cases and often more reliable knockback. 2-0-5 can deal more knockback against dense groups of 30+ blimps, but it very rarely provides more DPS than 0-2-5 and it scales less effectively with buffs.

*MOAB Domination's stun does not display the usual star VFX that signifies a Bloon is stunned, but it does still enable Monkeys such as [[Heavy Shells (BTD6)|Heavy Shells]] and [[Flash Bomb (BTD6)|Flash Bomb]] to deal additional damage.
