'''Flash Bomb''' is the [[Ninja Monkey (BMC)|Ninja Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''.

'''Flash Bomb''' is the [[Ninja Monkey (BMC)|Ninja Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. It occasionally throws flash bombs alongside its shuriken attack. Each flash bomb does 1 damage, pops many Bloons including Lead, and stun Bloons for a short duration.

In the {{multiplat version of|BMC}}, it is affected by a [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (multiplatform)#Sub-Projectile duplication glitch|bug]] that increases the amount of explosions made per pierce increase added to the flash bombs.

Flash Bomb ~~allows~~ a ~~limited~~ amount of ~~Bloon control but its slow cooldown makes it not consistent at~~ group-popping ~~compared to other options for~~ its ~~cost. Its~~ innate Camo Lead popping is often handled cheaper with alternatives such as [[Signal Flare (BMC)|Signal Flare]] or [[Lightning Bolt (BMC)|Lightning Bolt]] with [[Monkey Sense (BMC)|Monkey Sense]].

Flash Bomb is somewhat expensive and can be slow to throw flash bombs, but comes with stuns that provide Bloon control, with a fair amount of group-popping alongside. However, its innate Camo Lead popping is often handled cheaper with alternatives such as [[Signal Flare (BMC)|Signal Flare]] or [[Lightning Bolt (BMC)|Lightning Bolt]] with [[Monkey Sense (BMC)|Monkey Sense]].

In the multiplatform version, Flash Bomb becomes much stronger when affected by pierce buffs, mainly [[Monkey Fort (BMC)|Monkey Fort]] and Ninja's [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] (specifically Ranks 3, 8, 13), duplicating the bombs and improving effectiveness at getting rid of Bloon rushes. That being said, ~~the bomb's slow cooldown still means~~ its downtime between shots makes it not fully reliable when not firing along consistent angles.

In the multiplatform version, Flash Bomb becomes much stronger when affected by pierce buffs, mainly [[Monkey Fort (BMC)|Monkey Fort]] and Ninja's [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] (specifically Ranks 3, 8, 13), duplicating the bombs and improving effectiveness at getting rid of Bloon rushes. That being said, its long downtime between shots makes it not fully reliable when not firing along consistent angles.

Ninja's Flash Bomb MK (Ranks 4, 9, 14) is significant enough to allow Flash Bomb to be affordable on the first round with high enough city level, even in range of a Village without needing to sell the Village.
