'''Sky Shredder''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Its dart volleys attack twice as fast and shoots 32 darts per volley instead of 16, both its darts and [[Fighter Plane (BTD6)|anti-MOAB homing missiles]] deal much more damage and have the {{BTD6 dt|Normal}} damage type, and gain more pierce.

* ~~Increased dart~~ [[damage]] from 1 to 3{{fn|Also increases bonus Camo damage from +1 to +3}}

*'''Dart:''' Each volley shoots 32 per shot instead of 16, [[damage]] increases from 1 to 3,{{fn|Also increases bonus Camo damage from +1 to +3}} and +2 Ceramic damage, base [[pierce]] increased from 5 to 8 (6 to 9 with {{BTD6 mk|Airforce Upgrades}}), and attack cooldown reduced from 0.63 seconds to 0.315 seconds. Darts also have 3× projectile speed (360 units/s) with the same lifespan of 1.4 seconds.

*'''Missile:''' Damage of each missile increased from 24 to 150, +2 to Ceramics,{{Fn|This almost never matters, as the MOAB Missile can only target and damage MOAB-Class Bloons.

Sky Shredder is a highly versatile global range tower that is suitable for all players, having a high skill ceiling but reasonable skill floor. ~~This is due to its~~ decent damage ~~that~~ becomes exceptional when proper Ace micro is executed. The missiles break down blimps, which the darts can mostly clean up, albeit with some leaks. It benefits from buffs such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] which take advantage of its many projectiles.

Its decent damage becomes exceptional when proper Ace micro is executed. The missiles break down blimps, which the darts can mostly clean up, albeit with some leaks. It benefits from buffs such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] which take advantage of its many projectiles.

The 5-0-2 crosspath is generally superior, as {{BTD6|Sharper Darts}} grants much-needed pierce to the darts and {{BTD6|Centered Path}} greatly enhances mobility, compared to 5-2-0's extra pierce to missiles which is still good but doesn't have as much consistent group-popping of blimps, unless wanting to specifically deal with DDTs. Towers/Heroes that can clean up its leaks, such as {{BTD6|Adora}} and {{BTD6|The Bloon Solver}}, are recommended to supplement it. {{BTD6|Rosalia}} is also a strong Hero option due to her solid supplemental damage, knockback, and 10% discount to all nearby Aces.

*Prior to {{BTD6 version|17.1}}, it had inherent [[Camo detection]]. According to a Ninja Kiwi [https://web.archive.org/web/20211027233830/https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173401-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-9th-october-2020 blog post], the reason for this change was because it "is so focused on making those sick turns that it doesn’t notice when a sneaki camo gets through."

*Its portrait and upgrade icon correctly depict all 32 darts it fires per volley, but depict it as firing in an arc instead of in a circle like in-game.
