'''Laser Shock''' is the [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It grants~~ its ~~darts~~ a damage over time shock effect that lasts for 1 second and deals 1 [[damage]]. Additionally, shocked Bloons take a bonus +1 damage from all other Dartling Gunners with ~~the same tier on~~ path 1 ~~(e.g. Laser Cannons only deal bonus damage to Bloons shocked by other Laser Cannons)~~.

Additionally, shocked Bloons take a bonus +1 damage from all other Dartling Gunners with any path 1 upgrades.

When crosspathed with [[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD6)|Hydra Rocket Pods]], the shock is only applied by the ~~missile~~, and ~~there is no~~ bonus shock damage. Crosspathing with [[Buckshot (BTD6)|Buckshot]], [[Bloon Area Denial System (BTD6)|Bloon Area Denial System]], and [[Bloon Exclusion Zone (BTD6)|Bloon Exclusion Zone]] increases both shock and bonus damage to 3, 3, and 6, respectively.

When crosspathed with [[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD6)|Hydra Rocket Pods]], the shock is only applied by missile contacts (not the explosions), and does not do bonus shock damage. Crosspathing with [[Buckshot (BTD6)|Buckshot]], [[Bloon Area Denial System (BTD6)|Bloon Area Denial System]], and [[Bloon Exclusion Zone (BTD6)|Bloon Exclusion Zone]] increases both shock and bonus damage to 2, 2, and 4, respectively.<section end="lede" />

Laser Shock ~~improves Dartling's single~~-~~target~~ damage~~, being helpful on lower~~-~~tiers~~ due to ~~the cost-efficient stat bonuses it receives~~, ~~and beneficial~~ for ~~raw DPS on bottom path in combination with focused buckshots via [[Focused Firing (BTD6)|Focused Firing]]. It's less favorable on~~ middle path ~~Dartlings,~~ as the ~~extra shocked damage is absent~~.

Laser Shock is a cost-efficient damage increase for low-tier Dartling Gunners. It is the preferred crosspath for {{BTD6|Buckshot}}+ due to their increased Laser Shock damage, but not for middle path as they lack the bonus.
