'''Thundering Arc''' is the [[Skywarden (BTD6)|Skywarden]]'s path 2 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade switches the Skywarden's ~~attack~~ from a ~~straight projectile to an explosion similar to a [[Mortar Monkey (~~BTD6)|~~Mortar~~ Monkey~~]]. This explosion~~ deals 1 [[damage]] with 4 [[pierce]]~~. Each shot~~ gains +0.5 pierce and +1 radius for every 10 units travelled. Additionally, the Skywarden gains the Set Target option (positioned ~~after~~ Strong), which can target any location within range.<section end="lede"/>

'''Thundering Arc''' is the [[Skywarden (BTD6)|Skywarden]]'s path 2 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade switches the behavior of Skywarden's arrows, which now arrive instantly to their target (like a shot from a {{BTD6|Sniper Monkey}}) and they explode on contact, creating an 8-radius blast that deals 1 [[damage]] with 4 [[pierce]], and gains +0.5 pierce and +1 blast radius for every 10 units travelled. Additionally, the Skywarden ignores obstacles and gains the Set Target option (positioned before Strong), which can target any location within range.<section end="lede" />

Thundering Arc is usually an improvement due to the nearly instantaneous shots and ignorance of obstacles, as well as improved pierce when shooting targets from long distances. However, the upgrade can sometimes be a downgrade due to the reduced effectiveness on straight lines. Position this Skywarden at a location that maximizes coverage instead of straight lines.
