crosspath mention would already be implied with the rest of the upgrades in the LSTed stuff?

'''Frag Bombs''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It causes the Bomb Shooter's bombs to emit 8 fragments (10 with {{BTD6 mk|Fraggy Frags}}) which deal [[Damage#Sharp|Sharp]] damage to nearby Bloons upon exploding, and do not damage its main target. These fragments deal 1 damage, have 1 pierce, and can be affected by external buffs such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]. Fragments improve in damage, pierce, and quantity with [[Heavy Bombs (BTD6)|Heavy Bombs]] and its subsequent upgrades. Fragments gain bonus MOAB damage with [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]] and its subsequent upgrades and [[MOAB Assassin (BTD6)|MOAB Assassin's]] ability produces frags with this [[Crosspath]].

{{Outdated|frags on moab maulers and above now have bonus moab damage. evaluate if this is good or not}}{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}Frag Bombs suffers greatly from not being able to damage the Bloon that the bomb hits and spawns the frags from, and thus is suboptimal for use by itself. As a crosspath, it is sub-optimal as well, being not recommended for top path Bomb Shooters due to them losing out on reliability and supporting capabilities compared to crosspathing with {{BTD6|Missile Launcher}}. Frag Bombs can be used as a crosspath for {{BTD6|MOAB Mauler}}, {{BTD6|MOAB Assassin}}, and {{BTD6|MOAB Eliminator}} to increase their range slightly and marginally increase their damage, but is generally unnecessary.
{{BTD6 last updated|55.2|section=y}}
Frag Bombs suffers greatly from not being able to damage the Bloon that the bomb hits and spawns the frags from, and thus is suboptimal for use by itself. As a crosspath, it is not recommended for path 1 Bomb Shooters due to them losing out on reliability and supporting capabilities compared to crosspathing with {{BTD6|Missile Launcher}}, and lacking any lower-tier interactions with Frags. When used for {{BTD6|MOAB Mauler}}, {{BTD6|MOAB Assassin}}, and {{BTD6|MOAB Eliminator}}, the slight range bonus and added collateral damage to groups of blimps are significant enough due to how buffable the frags are compared to pure explosive pierce.
