'''Projectile Ricochet''' is a [[Perk]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants +2 pierce to all towers, increased to +4 for [[Magic]] towers, and causes projectiles to ricochet in a similar manner to [[M.O.A.R Glaives (BTD6)|M.O.A.R Glaives]]. The ricochet effect does not affect track-based attacks, anything that snaps onto a target (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s bullets), or anything that alters projectile movement (e.g. [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s potions, [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s boomerangs).

'''Projectile Ricochet''' is a [[Perk]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants +2 pierce to all towers, increased to +4 for [[Magic]] towers, and causes projectiles to ricochet in a similar manner to [[M.O.A.R Glaives (BTD6)|M.O.A.R Glaives]]. The ricochet effect only affects projectiles that travel in a straight line and does not affect track-based attacks, anything that snaps onto a target (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s bullets), or anything that alters projectile movement (e.g. [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s potions, [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s boomerangs).

After hitting a Bloon, the ricochet effect targets "Close" from the point of impact and can only seek Bloons located between 5 and 2,000 units (map-wide) from its current position. Projectiles can only bounce a maximum of two times, and after that, or if there is no target in range, they will continue their movement in a straight line.

*The pierce bonus is more significant than the added ricochet. It benefits low pierce attacks the most, and any spike-based attack (especially [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factories]]) essentially gets more damage.

**[[Druid (BTD6)|Druid]]s and [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]s benefit the most from this Perk's flat pierce bonus.

**[[Druid (BTD6)|Druid]]s, [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]s, and [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]s benefit the most from this Perk's flat pierce bonus.

*It is not recommended for [[Spike-o-pult (BTD6)|Spike-o-pult]] or [[Juggernaut (BTD6)|Juggernaut]], as the ricochet behavior disrupts consistency on walled maps and straight lines.

*It is not recommended for [[Spike-o-pult (BTD6)|Spike-o-pult]] or [[Juggernaut (BTD6)|Juggernaut]], as the ricochet behavior disrupts consistency on walled maps and straight lines. However, on maps like [[Last Resort]] and [[Workshop (BTD6)|Workshop]] where the entrance leads into a long straight path, the ricochet can be very effective in directing projectiles down the track.
