On the {{Mobile version of|Bloons Monkey City}}, due to an [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (mobile)#Sub-projectile duplication glitch|error]], pierce buffs like the [[Monkey Fort (BMC)|Monkey Fort]] will allow the bombs to explode twice. On the {{Flash version|Bloons Monkey City}}, 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 [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] and [[Jungle Drums (BMC)|Jungle Drums]] are given.
On the {{multiplat version of|Bloons Monkey City}}, due to an [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (multiplatform)#Sub-projectile duplication glitch|error]], pierce buffs like the [[Monkey Fort (BMC)|Monkey Fort]] will allow the bombs to explode twice.

Due to the decreased [[MOAB-Class Bloon]] health in this game compared to Bloons TD 5, the Spectre has enough damage to threaten packed MOABs and BFBs (and heavily damage ZOMGs), and can often carry tiles by itself due to the nature of most tracks. (and the bugs that further improve its damage in both versions). As a result, the saveup is well worth its price and only needs some additional help in single target MOAB damage from a [[MOAB Assassin (BMC)|MOAB Assassin]] or [[Super Wide Funnel (BMC)|Super Wide Funnel]] to break down the high health ZOMGs. Its capability to damage DDTs with its bombs lets it carry as DDT popping, but may benefit from MIB for better reliability.
Due to the decreased [[MOAB-Class Bloon]] health in this game compared to ''Bloons TD 5'', the Spectre has enough damage to threaten packed MOABs and BFBs (and heavily damage ZOMGs), Bloon rushes occur often enough to be relevant on all tiles and Level 15+ Boss events, and can often carry tiles by itself due to the nature of most tracks. (In addition to bugs that improve its DPS in both versions.) As a result, the saveup is well worth its price and only needs some additional help in single target MOAB damage from a [[MOAB Assassin (BMC)|MOAB Assassin]] or [[Super Wide Funnel (BMC)|Super Wide Funnel]] to break down the high health ZOMGs. While it can innately damage DDTs, MIB is still required to be sufficient against them.
 
Monkey Knowledge and the [[Magic Spanner (BMC)|Magic Spanner]] are recommended for discounting the cost of the upgrade, thus making it more accessible as a complete win condition on the multiplatform version, or nearly so in the Flash version.


Crosspathing is redundant unless Camo detection is required, as the exploding pineapples do not contribute meaningfully to its overall DPS.
