'''Exploding Pineapple''' is the [[Monkey Ace (Battles 2)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''.

'''Exploding Pineapple''' is the [[Monkey Ace (Battles 2)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It grants Monkey Ace an additional attack, which drops an explosive pineapple on the map at the Monkey Ace's location every 2 seconds (1.2 seconds with [[Rapid Fire (Battles 2)|Rapid Fire]]). Pineapples explode after 2 seconds, creating a 25 radius blast that does 1 [[damage]] with 20 [[pierce]] (32 with [[Sharper Darts (Battles 2)|Sharper Darts]]. Pineapple explosions cannot damage [[Black Bloon (Battles 2)|Black Bloons]].

Additionally, explosives from its other upgrade paths are improved:

*MOAB Missiles of [[Fighter Plane (Battles 2)|Fighter Plane]] and subsequent upgrades +2 pierce and +4.5 blast radius.

*Bombs of [[Spectre (Battles 2)|Spectre]] and [[Flying Fortress (Battles 2)|Flying Fortress]] have their pierce increased by +15, and +3 blast radius.

Visually, each pineapple is timed from 3 and counts down to 1 before exploding, but each interval is faster than one second.

==Strategy==

{{strategy needed|section=y|Find more use cases for pineapples and better crosspathing}}

Unlike in ''BTD6'', pineapples do a solid job at breaking down weak rushes such as Grouped Reds for a cheap cost, while saving up well into [[Bomber Ace (Battles 2)|Bomber Ace]] provided that spaced rushes are handled well in other ways.

Pineapples often prefer the [[Rapid Fire (Battles 2)|Rapid Fire]] crosspath compared to the already reasonable pierce that would be too unnecessarily extra with [[Sharper Darts (Battles 2)|Sharper Darts]], but crosspathing is optional at lower tiers; the pineapple attack is more of a transition upgrade rather than used for standalone usage.

[[Fighter Plane (Battles 2)|Fighter Plane]] appreciates from the extra explosive pierce and radius, but not very much. [[Spectre (Battles 2)|Spectre]] and [[Flying Fortress (Battles 2)|Flying Fortress]] don't get enough explosive pierce and radius to be worth the use over [[Rapid Fire (Battles 2)|Rapid Fire]] and [[Lots More Darts (Battles 2)|Lots More Darts]].
