Bomb Storm Ability: striker jones synergy would've been even more OP if the damage of the Blitz ability could scale...

'''Bomb Blitz''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the damage of all attacks by +3, increases the Bomb Shooter's attack speed by +100%, and allows the Bomb Shooter to always shoot recursive bombs, as opposed to only in every other shot. Additionally it grants a passive ability which activates upon losing lives and deals damage to all Bloons on screen.

It increases the damage of all attacks by +3 (5 damage, 6 with 2-0-5), increases the Bomb Shooter's attack speed by +66.67%, and allows the Bomb Shooter to always shoot recursive bombs, as opposed to only in every other shot. Additionally, it grants a passive ability that activates upon losing lives or leaking a Bloon, damaging all Bloons on screen.


== Bomb Storm Ability ==
== Bomb Storm Ability ==
Bomb Storm is a passive ability, meaning it cannot be directly triggered by the player. Instead, it automatically triggers when any lives are lost, if it is available (lives tanked by {{BTD6 mk|Mana Shield}} and [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]' [[Soul Barrier]] count). This ability deals 2,000 damage to all Bloons on screen, then instantly destroys all [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOABs]] and non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s on screen regardless of health{{Fn|This includes [[Test Bloon]]s in [[Sandbox (BTD6)|Sandbox]].}}, including [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]]. This ability has a 40 second cooldown and a 13.33 second initial cooldown.
Bomb Storm is a passive ability, meaning it cannot be directly triggered by the player. Instead, it automatically triggers when any lives are lost or a Bloon is about to leak, if it is available (lives tanked by {{BTD6 mk|Mana Shield}} and [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]' [[Soul Barrier]] count). This ability deals 2,000 damage to {{BTD6|BFB}}s, {{BTD6|ZOMG}}s, {{BTD6|DDT}}s, {{BTD6|BAD}}s, or [[Boss Bloon]]s on screen, then deals 9,999,999 damage to other Bloon types, including [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]]. Both damages soaks through MOAB-Class layers. The leaked Bloon takes no lives if it can take enough damage to be popped by the Bomb Storm. Its damage cannot be buffed by external buffs. This ability has a 60 second cooldown and a 20 second initial cooldown.


[[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]]'s Totem and [[Lych]]'s Soul also count as lives lost and will trigger the ability. The only way to trigger this ability in [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]] / [[CHIMPS]] is with [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]' spell Soul Barrier.

{{Strategy needed|Some more use cases of Bomb Blitz and why it is strong/weak for certain cases}}
{{BTD6 last updated|52.0|section=y}}
The main strength of Bomb Blitz comes from its passive ability, which wipes out infinite bloons up to MOABs. Its main attack is not as outstanding, since gaining Black Bloon weaknesses in v40.0, though it does have decent cleanup against dense clumps.
Bomb Blitz's passive ability functions like an effective {{BTD6|Tsar Bomba}}. Provided it does enough damage to completely destroy the leaking Bloons, it is able to avoid life loss after leaking, making it a valuable T5 in [[CHIMPS]]. Its infinite pierce allows it to become an outstanding method of destroying many Bloons at once, including in [[Race]] conditions, [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]]'s minions, and [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]'s [[Dreadrock Bloon]]s on [[Boss Rush]]. However, its very long passive ability cooldown makes the Bomb Blitz passive challenging to optimize, preventing constant reliance and careless preparation.


In CHIMPS, Bomb Blitz is relatively weak for its cost, essentially a more concentrated [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]] that still retains Black Bloon weaknesses. Its passive ability is useless without Corvus's [[Soul Barrier]]. However, if wanting to revolve a strategy around [[Bomb Blitz (BTD6)|Bomb Blitz]], Striker Jones is often better than Corvus, as Striker's buffs counter most of Bomb Blitz's weaknesses, and covers single-target weakness with his Concussive Shell, plus synergies with [[MOAB Eliminator (BTD6)|MOAB Eliminator]] via Artillery Command.
{{BTD6|Striker Jones}} is a preferred [[Hero]] for simple gameplay, as he grants buffs and eliminates Bomb Blitz's {{BTD6|Black Bloon}} weakness. Without its passive, Bomb Blitz remains valuable with Striker, being a far stronger [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]]. It deals very high damage to grouped Bloons and performs very well against rounds such as 98, wiping out blue {{BTD6|MOAB}}s and [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloons|Super Ceramics]] with relative ease, but it is weak against {{BTD6|ZOMG}}s, {{BTD6|DDT}}s, and the {{BTD6|BAD}}. Thus, {{BTD6|MOAB Eliminator}} (which also synergizes with Striker) is recommended for breaking down high-tier blimps, and {{BTD6|Bloon Sabotage}} and {{BTD6|Relentless Glue}} are recommended for DDTs. [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]] is also useful on game modes with more than one life (i.e., excluding [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]] and [[CHIMPS]] on normal rules) to manually trigger the passive.
 
0-2-5 is the best crosspath for Bomb Blitz, as the improved attack speed grants a far superior damage boost compared to 2-0-5, whose pierce and damage bonuses do not aid as much due to Bomb Blitz having high pierce and damage at base. {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}} is recommended for Bomb Blitz as well.

==Trivia==
*Using a bug where passive abilities could be manually activated via a [[hotkey]], it was possible to complete [[2MPC]] with Bomb Blitz without it ever using its main attack.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxZ3_hjs__s Can A Tower Get 2 Million Pops WITHOUT Attacking?! (Bloons TD 6)] </ref>
**This likely caused its buff in {{BTD6 version|51.0}} where its passive no longer required Bloons to leak to activate, instead simply when they are about to leak.
**{{BTD6|Elite Defender}}, and to a lesser extent the {{BTD6|Legend of the Night}} were also affected by this bug.
