'''Spectre''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BTD5)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It replaces the seeking darts from [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD5)|Neva-Miss Targeting]] with a new attack that rapidly fires a stream of [[projectile]]s at targeted [[Bloon]]s, alternating between shooting darts and bombs. It aims at the [[close]]st Bloons to the aircraft, but its shots do not have seeking properties. Its darts deal 1 [[damage]] to up to 50 Bloons, but cannot damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD5)|Lead Bloon]]s or [[frozen]] Bloons, while its bombs' explosions deal 2 damage, can pop any Bloon type, and can hit up to 100 Bloons. <section end="lede"/> | '''Spectre''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BTD5)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It replaces the seeking darts from [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD5)|Neva-Miss Targeting]] with a new attack that rapidly fires a stream of [[projectile]]s at targeted [[Bloon]]s, alternating between shooting darts and bombs.

On the {{ | On the {{multiplat version of|Bloons TD 5}}, due to an [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (multiplatform)#Sub-projectile duplication glitch|error]], pierce buffs like the [[Monkey Fort (BTD5)|Monkey Fort]] will allow the bombs to explode twice. On the {{Flash version|Bloons TD 5}}, instead a [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (Flash)|different error]] allows this tower to attack once every frame provided enough attack speed buffs from [[Ace Private Hangar]] and [[Jungle Drums (BTD5)|Jungle Drums]] are given. | ||

The | The Spectre’s role in heavy ceramic cleanup is greatly outclassed by cheaper alternatives like [[Ice Shards (BTD5)|Ice Shards]], [[Bloon Impact (BTD5)|Bloon Impact]] on the flash version or [[Bloon Dissolver (BTD5)|Bloon Dissolver]] on the multiplatform version. However, its advantage over other alternatives is the global range it has, which can be effective on tougher maps where all other options are suboptimal. | ||
On the | On the multiplatform version, due to the sub-projectile duplication bug it stands much more of a chance in the late game as it can damage grouped MOABs enough by itself, but struggles to do enough damage to BFBs and above. [[Apache Dartship (BTD5)|Apache Dartship]], despite the higher cost, does much more single-target damage while having similar grouped damage. | ||
Crosspathing is redundant unless Camo detection is required, as the exploding pineapples do not contribute meaningfully to its overall DPS. | Crosspathing is redundant unless Camo detection is required, as the exploding pineapples do not contribute meaningfully to its overall DPS. | ||
