'''Cripple MOAB''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the ~~amount of time~~ [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s ~~are stunned on hit and allows Sniper Monkey~~ to ~~apply~~ a cripple debuff ~~to them~~, ~~causing them to~~ take +5 damage from all sources. ~~It also increases the~~ [[damage]] of Sniper Monkey's bullets from 30 to 140, and grants bullets an area of effect that deals 28 damage to up to 10 Bloons near the impact location (up to a distance of 8 [[unit]]s). This effect does not stun or cripple blimps.

'''Cripple MOAB''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade increases the [[stun]] duration on [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, as well as causing them to receive a cripple [[debuff]]. While crippled, targets take +5 [[damage]] from all sources. The [[damage]] of Sniper Monkey's bullets increases from 30 to 140, and grants bullets an {{BTD6 dt|2}}-type area of effect that deals 28 damage to up to 10 Bloons near the impact location (up to a distance of 8 [[unit]]s). This effect does not stun or cripple blimps.

With the [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]] [[crosspath]], shrapnel can now stun and debuff MOAB-Class Bloons for roughly 66% of the normal duration. Additionally, shrapnel damage is increased from 6 to 12 and [[pierce]] increased from 2 to 6, plus extra [[projectile]] speed and lifespan.<section end="lede" />

==Mechanics==

For all MOAB-class Bloons, it applies a debuff and a stun (if applicable), and these effects last the same duration, with reduced duration on stronger Bloon types:

Cripple MOAB's debuff makes it stand out in [[Boss Bloon Event]]s (against Tier 2+), [[Boss Rush]], and [[Freeplay]]. As this debuff is a flat damage bonus, towers that benefit the most are those that have fast-firing, but low-damage projectiles, such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]s, [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]]s, and Shinobi-buffed [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]]s. It should be left on [[Strong]] targeting, but [[First]] against [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] to avoid [[~~Rock~~ Bloon]]s.

In [[CHIMPS]], Cripple MOAB is a subpar choice. Compared to other towers in the same price range it is lacking as a solo damage tower, and may struggle to beat the {{BTD6|BAD}}.

5-0-2 is the better crosspath for Cripple MOAB in CHIMPS and against most Bosses. This crosspath can achieve full debuff uptime against BADs and Bosses with either {{BTD6|Jungle Drums}} or {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}}. 5-2-0 is preferred against Phayze (which demands innate [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection) and in Freeplay (in which the debuff is by far its most important effect, and 5-2-0's group debuff is preferable to 5-0-2's single-target).
