'''MOAB Press''' is the [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

'''MOAB Press''' is the [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade grants Boomerang Monkey an independent Heavy Kylie attack, a slow attack that is fired independently from the regular [[Kylie Boomerang (BTD6)|Kylie]] attack, targeting [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s to apply [[pushback]] and damage. Affected MOAB-Class Bloons (but not ordinary Bloons) can get hit multiple times from the same Heavy Kylie projectile, every 0.1 seconds, and this attack cannot hit [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s but can hit [[Boss Bloon]]s. Different MOAB-Class Bloons receive different amount of pushback, which increases by 50% with [[Glaives (BTD6)|Glaives]] and another 30% with {{BTD6 mk|Hard Press}}. This attack has a cooldown of 10 seconds (8 seconds with [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Boomerang Monkey)|Faster Throwing]], 6 seconds with [[Faster Rangs (BTD6)|Faster Rangs]]), and the projectile has 200 pierce (300 with [[Improved Rangs (BTD6)|Improved Rangs]], 420 with Glaives).<section end="lede" />

== Mechanics ==

===Main attack===

MOAB Press also has its ordinary Kylie attack, which remains unchanged from [[Kylie Boomerang (BTD6)|Kylie Boomerang]], its predecessor.

=== Heavy Kylie ===

The MOAB Press gains the Heavy Kylie attack. The Heavy Kylie can only target [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s except [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s, but including [[Boss Bloon]]s. Each projectile applies [[pushback]] and deals 1 damage and +4 MOAB-class {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}-type damage, with 200 pierce (300 with [[Improved Rangs (BTD6)|Improved Rangs]], 420 with [[Glaives (BTD6)|Glaives]]), can rehit the same target every 0.1 seconds, and also only targets the same targets as the attack itself. This attack has a cooldown of 10 seconds (8 seconds with [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Boomerang Monkey)|Faster Throwing]], 6 seconds with [[Faster Rangs (BTD6)|Faster Rangs]]). Different MOAB-class Bloons take a different amount of pushback:

* [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOABs]]: 2 [[unit]]s (3 units with Glaives)

* [[BFB (BTD6)|BFBs]]: 1 unit (1.5 units with Glaives)

* [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] and [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]]: 0.5 units (0.75 units with Glaives)

Heavy Kylie's pushback is increased by 30% with {{BTD6 mk|Hard Press}}. With this MK active, this increases to the following:

* [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOABs]]: 2.6 units (3.9 units with Glaives)

* [[BFB (BTD6)|BFBs]]: 1.3 units (1.95 units with Glaives)

* [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] and [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]]: 0.65 units (0.975 units with Glaives)

== Strategy ==

MOAB Press is an excellent crowd control tower for dealing with late-game [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, most notably dense rounds (such as 94, 96, and 98). It knocks back large clumps of blimps, giving other towers more time to deal with them. However, it is weak to fast-moving {{BTD6|DDT}}s.

Multiple MOAB Presses can be obtained to specialize against dense blimp rounds if the defense specifically struggles against them. It is best to pair MOAB Press with other stallers, like [[MOAB Glue (BTD6)|MOAB Glue]], for even better stalling.

2-0-4 is the optimal crosspath for MOAB Press on maps with one entrance per round, as its pierce can be maximized on these maps, but 0-2-4 is better on maps with multiple entrances per round due to the extra pierce not being helpful on these maps and the ~66.66% attack speed boost from 0-2-4 outweighing the 50% increased knockback from 2-0-4 in this case.
