Bloon Impact

Explosions become so violent Bloons are stunned for a short time when they are hit. Range is increased and frags are even more effective.

Bloon Impact is the Bomb Shooter's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It allows the Bomb Shooter's bombs to stun all damaged non-MOAB-class bloons for 1.4 seconds (1.75 seconds with Violent Impact). This tower also gains 3 units of range. With the Frag Bombs crosspath, it gains 4 more frags (total of 16), +1 pierce to each frag (total of 3), and frags gain additional lifespan.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Bloon Impact is best used to control Ceramic Bloons, and not for damage. It is a great support tower to any strategy that can't handle ceramics reliably, with its high pierce and relatively large blast radius being able to lock many Ceramics at a time, in addition to the bloon knockback gained from Really Big Bombs. However, its inability to pop Black Bloons hinders its capability during the mid-game without Striker Jones.

Due to Bloon Impact's main asset being its stun, Missile Launcher is the recommended crosspath for more reliable stuns. Bottom crosspath forgoes higher stun uptime and better knockback rate, and despite dealing huge damage with fragments, it's simply not worth it.

Version 22.0

“

Some low tier Bomb pierce has been shifted further up into the 2xx Heavy Bombs upgrade to effectively nerf 130 Mauler meta in price, but the price of these upgrades and MOAB Damage of T4 Maulers have both been buffed to benefit other variations of bomb better. Bloon Impact’s price was increased as it didn’t need to benefit from this buff [...]

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $3,200 → $3,600
  •  Overall cost increased by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Pierce increased ― 48 → 50

Version 25.0

“

In some cases the effort to make upgrades feel powerful eclipsed the need for monkey tower weaknesses to be supported by path or other tower synergies. Reviewing the state of White compared to Black Bloons we feel it no longer makes sense for Bomb stall path to ignore inherent Bomb weakness compared to Ice, which can’t fully get around it’s weakness until T5.
— Update notes

”

•  Damage type changed ― Normal → Explosion
  • Note: Bloon Crush unchanged

Version 27.0

•  No longer applies a non-slowing "stun" effect to MOABs (bug fix)
  • Note: Nerf to strategies that used bonus stun damage

Version 28.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $75 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 31.0

“

The Frags crosspath for top path Bomb Shooter has always been quite a poor choice, trying to compete with attack speed as a benefit for stun utility isn’t going to ever work out so we have instead gone the route of turning the frags crosspath into a DPS/Stun hybrid with a lot of small buffs to frag power.

4-0-2

•  Frags: Damage increased ― 2 → 3
•  Gains more frags ― 8 → 16
•  Frags: Pierce increased ― 2 → 3

Version 34.0

•  Pierce increased ― 50 → 60

Version 38.0

“

We wanted to add something unique to Bloon Impact while also improving Really Big Bombs very slightly as a stepping stone into it, so now both of these upgrades will become capable of pushing back Bloons that they hit – even if they are stunned or frozen! This allows Bloon Impact to now catch groups of Bloons in a stun net and slowly push them back the way they came while keeping them stunned.
— Update notes

”

•  Explosions now push back Bloons by 10 units
•  Stun duration increased ― 1s → 1.4s

Version 38.1

•  Bomb Shooters with Heavy Bombs can no longer knockback Black/Zebra Bloons unless they can damage them (bug fix)

Version 40.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 41.0

“

Just a little cost coming off the Bloon Impact upgrade
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,600 → $3,200

Version 44.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $250 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Explosion pierce increased ― 60 → 80

Version 45.0

“

Compared among similarly priced hybrid AoE/supports, Really Big Bombs is a lacking stepping stone so we’re improving its damage and granting much more pushback.
— Update notes

”

•  Damage increased ― 3 → 4
  • Note: Bloon Crush damage remains the same
•  Pushback increased ― 10 → 20
  • Note: Bloon Crush pushback on MOAB-Class remains the same

Version 47.0

“

Frag damage is being greatly improved all the way up as there’s little reason to trade stun uptime for improved damage.
— Update notes

”

“

Nudging Bloon Impact price down, pushing it more in line with other early support options & as this is a support path.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,200 → $2,800

4-0-2

•  Frags: Damage increased ― 3 → 6
