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 Missile Launcher, and lacking any lower-tier interactions with Frags. When used for MOAB Mauler, MOAB Assassin, and 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.

Some low tier Bomb pierce has been shifted further up into the 2xx Heavy Bombs upgrade to effectively nerf 130 Mauler meta in price, but the price of these upgrades and MOAB Damage of T4 Maulers have both been buffed to benefit other variations of bomb better. [...] a buff was made to 502’s Bloon Impact’s frags to alter this underused crosspath.

We’ve acknowledged that Frag Bombs have felt like an inconsistent crosspath both in what they add to the tower and what they lose when upgraded further on their own path, so now in addition to frags popping Black Bloons xx2+ will allow all attacks from the tower to pop Black.

The Frags crosspath for top path Bomb Shooter has always been quite a poor choice, trying to compete with attack speed as a benefit for stun utility isn’t going to ever work out so we have instead gone the route of turning the frags crosspath into a DPS/Stun hybrid with a lot of small buffs to frag power.

A while ago Frag Bombs was reworked to give Bomb normal type damage however we were not happy with the results of that change in the end, we didn’t want to go back and remove that again without giving back something nice in return so it has taken a while but now we have decided to go ahead with changing that back along with swapping out Recursive fortified damage for raw damage which we hope also improves crosspathing as the damage crosspath isn’t such a large increase over the base damage anymore.

Frag damage is being greatly improved all the way up as there’s little reason to trade stun uptime for improved damage.

MOAB Assassin has traded the small ceramic bonus for MOAB-Mauling frag synergy, and to make things more frag-tastic the ability now also synergizes with frags for added flair.
