[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 52.2
Sky Shredder is a highly versatile global range tower that is suitable for all players, having a high skill ceiling but reasonable skill floor. 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 which take advantage of its many projectiles.
Towers and Heroes that can clean up its leaks, such as Adora and The Bloon Solver, are recommended to supplement it. Rosalia is also a strong Hero option due to her solid supplemental damage, knockback, and 10% discount to all nearby Aces.
The 5-0-2 crosspath is generally superior, as Sharper Darts grants much-needed pierce to the darts and 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.

| “ | Monkey Ace was never intended to be a great starting tower and instead come into power at mid- and high-tier upgrades, but since the base tower feels lacking to new players (and some of us old timers) we decided to rework low tier power into the base tower. — Update notes |
” |
- Dart projectile size increased ― 2 → 3
- 5-1-0, 5-2-0
- Exploding Pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 1.6s → 1.2s

” |
- 5-1-0, 5-2-0
- Missile: Pierce increased ― 5 → 7
- Missile: Radius increased ― 30 → 34.5
| “ | More of a straight quality of life, Ace has gained a new special toggle button to allow it to turn back and fly in reverse on any selected flight pattern. — Update notes |
” |
- Reverse flight pattern added
| “ | Sky Shredder has a higher skill ceiling than most towers so has evaded many nerfs, but is still too good for what it offers so is finally seeing a slight price increase — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $40,000 → $41,500
| “ | Sky Shredder somewhat justifies its power as one of the very best towers in the game, although everything at this level is a bit too cheap. — Update notes |

- Pineapple reload rate reduced ― 1.2s → 1.275s
- Note: Rapid Fire's cooldown modifier changed from 0.6× to 0.75×
| “ | Fighter Plane’s missiles often get stuck circling slower targets until they expire, since Ace can’t reasonably plan against this the missile turn acceleration has been tweaked to reduce chance of this happening. — Update notes |
” |
- Missile: max turn speed increased ― 400 → 500
- Missile: turn acceleration reduced ― 160 → 150
- 5-2-0
- Bonus damage to Camo Bloons increased for all attacks, except Anti-MOAB missiles ― +1 → ×2

- 5-1-0, 5-2-0
- Missile attack: The explosion now leaves a Exploding Pineapple in the ground, with the same stats as the regular drop

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Prior to version 17.1, it had inherent Camo detection. According to a Ninja Kiwi 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.
