'''MOAB Press''' is the [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Boomerang Monkey ~~a new~~ Heavy Kylie attack ~~in addition to its~~ regular [[Kylie Boomerang (BTD6)|Kylie ~~Boomerang~~]] ~~which is fired independently and has the ability~~ to ~~knockback~~ [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]].

'''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 ==

~~The Heavy Kylie has the following features:~~

===Main attack===

* Can only target [[MOAB~~-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]~~ which ~~are not immune to knockback~~

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

* 1 damage

** +4 [[~~MOAB-Class damage]], for a total of 5~~

* 200 pierce

* 10 second attack cooldown

* [[Damage#Normal / Acid|Normal]] type damage

* Pushes targets back

** [[MOAB (BTD6)|~~MOABs~~]] ~~pushed by 2 [[Unit|units]]~~

** [[BFB (BTD6)|BFBs]] pushed by 1 unit

** [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] and [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]] pushed by 0.5 units

* Can rehit a target every 0.~~1 seconds~~

~~With the top crosspath the Heavy Kylie gains even more pierce~~

* +~~100~~ pierce with [[Improved Rangs (BTD6)|Improved Rangs]]

=== Heavy Kylie ===

* ~~+220 pierce and 50% more knockback~~ with [[Glaives (BTD6)|~~Glaives~~]]

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)

With the ~~middle crosspath the Heavy Kylie gains additional attack speed~~:

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)

* 33% faster attack speed with [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Boomerang Monkey)|Faster Throwing]]

== Stats ==

* 77.8% faster attack speed with [[Faster Rangs (BTD6)|Faster Rangs]]

MOAB Press is an excellent crowd control tower for dealing with late game [[MOAB-Class Bloon~~|MOAB-Class Bloons~~]] most notably rounds 94, 96, and 98. It is best to pair ~~this upgrade~~ with other stallers like [[MOAB Glue (BTD6)|MOAB Glue]] for even better stalling. ~~Usually it~~ is ~~best to go~~ for ~~a 204~~ MOAB Press as ~~it has 50% more knockback and additional~~ pierce but on maps with multiple ~~lanes or~~ in ~~placements that are not straight lines 024 performs better~~.

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.
