'''Cripple MOAB''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[damage]] of Sniper Monkey's bullets from 30 to ~~280~~, and grants bullets an area effect that deals 28 damage to up to 10 Bloons near the impact location (up to a distance of 8 [[~~Unit|units~~]]).

'''Cripple MOAB''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the amount of time [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s are [[Stun|stunned]] on hit and allows Sniper Monkey to apply a cripple debuff to them, causing them to take +5 [[damage]] from all sources. It also increases the damage of Sniper Monkey's bullets from 30 to 140, and grants bullets an {{BTD6 dt|2}}-type area of effect that deals 28 damage to up to 10 Bloons near the impact location (up to a distance of 8 [[unit]]s). This effect does not stun or cripple blimps.

This upgrade increases the amount of time [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] are stunned on hit. It also allows Cripple MOAB's main bullets to apply a cripple debuff to MOAB-class bloons, which makes them take +5 damage from all damage sources.

Cripple MOAB's debuff makes it stand out in [[Boss Bloon Event]]s (against Tier 2+), [[Boss Rush]], and [[Freeplay]]. As this debuff is a flat damage bonus, towers that benefit the most are those that have fast-firing but low-damage projectiles, such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]s, [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]]s, and Shinobi-buffed [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]]s. It should be left on [[Strong]] targeting, but [[First]] against [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] to avoid [[Rock Bloon]]s.

~~Middle path crosspath~~ is ~~better for group damage as~~ the ~~shrapenel can hit several bloons and stun and cripple moabs, while bottom path crosspath~~ is ~~better for single target~~ damage~~. Middle path also grants camo detection, allowing this~~ tower ~~to hit~~, ~~stun~~ and ~~cripple DDTs~~.

In [[CHIMPS]], Cripple MOAB is a subpar choice. Compared to other towers in the same price range it is lacking as a solo damage tower, and may struggle to beat the {{BTD6|BAD}}.

[[Cripple MOAB (BTD6)|~~Cripple moab]] is great for late-game rounds~~ or ~~high difficulty boss tiers~~, as the ~~debuff will help any other damage~~-~~dealing towers, plus grant some extra damage. A tower with similar effects~~ is ~~the~~ [[~~Glue Gunner~~ (BTD6)|~~Glue storm~~]], which is ~~significantly cheaper but gives a less powerful~~ debuff ~~of only +~~2 ~~damage. In these cases where~~ single target ~~damage is preffered, bottom path crosspath should be bought, alongside a [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey village]] with the [[Jungle Drums (BTD6~~)~~|Jungle drums]] upgrade for almost full debuff uptime on bosses and BADs~~.

5-0-2 is the better crosspath for Cripple MOAB in CHIMPS and against most Bosses. This crosspath can achieve full debuff uptime against BADs and Bosses with either {{BTD6|Jungle Drums}} or {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}}. In CHIMPS, the faster explosions also improve its own DPS more than added shrapnel. 5-2-0 is preferred against Phayze (which demands innate [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection) and in Freeplay (in which the debuff is by far its most important effect, and 5-2-0's group debuff is preferable to 5-0-2's single-target).

~~Towers that benefit the most from the crippled debuff are those which shoot lots of low-damage projectiles like [[Sky Shredder (~~BTD6)|~~Sky shredder]].~~
