Spectre is the Monkey Ace's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons Monkey City. It replaces the seeking darts from Neva-Miss Targeting with a new attack that rapidly fires a stream of projectiles at targeted Bloons, alternating between shooting darts and bombs. It aims at the closest Bloons to the aircraft, but its shots do not have seeking properties. Its darts deal 1 damage to up to 50 Bloons, but cannot damage Lead Bloons or frozen Bloons, while its bombs' explosions deal 2 damage, can pop any Bloon type, and can hit up to 100 Bloons.

On the mobile version of Bloons Monkey City, due to an error, pierce buffs like the Monkey Fort will allow the bombs to explode twice. On the Flash version, instead a different error allows this tower to attack once every frame provided enough attack speed buffs from Monkey Knowledge and Jungle Drums are given.

Strategy

Due to the decreased MOAB-Class Bloon health in this game compared to Bloons TD 5, the Spectre has enough damage to threaten packed MOABs and BFBs (and heavily damage ZOMGs), and can often carry tiles by itself due to the nature of most tracks. (and the bugs that further improve its damage in both versions). As a result, the saveup is well worth its price and only needs some additional help in single target MOAB damage from a MOAB Assassin or Super Wide Funnel to break down the high health ZOMGs. Its capability to damage DDTs with its bombs lets it carry as DDT popping, but may benefit from MIB for better reliability.

Crosspathing is redundant unless Camo detection is required, as the exploding pineapples do not contribute meaningfully to its overall DPS.
