Frag Bombs suffers greatly from not being able to damage the Bloon that the bomb hits and spawns the frags from, and thus is suboptimal for use by itself. As a crosspath, it is sub-optimal as well, being not recommended for top path Bomb Shooters due to them losing out on reliability and supporting capabilities compared to crosspathing with Missile Launcher. Frag Bombs can be used as a crosspath for MOAB Mauler, MOAB Assassin, and MOAB Eliminator to increase their range slightly and marginally increase their damage, but is generally unnecessary.

  • Buff Range increased ― 49 → 52

  • Buff Frag: Projectile lifespan increased ― 0.191s → 0.257s

  • Buff Frag: Projectile lifespan increased ― 0.191s → 0.322s
  • Buff Frag: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
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. [...] a buff was made to 502’s Bloon Impact’s frags to alter this underused crosspath.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 18 → 14
5-0-2
  • Buff Frag: Damage increased ― 3 → 12
  • Buff Frag: Pierce increased ― 2 → 3
We’ve acknowledged that Frag Bombs have felt like an inconsistent crosspath both in what they add to the tower and what they lose when upgraded further on their own path, so now in addition to frags popping Black Bloons xx2+ will allow all attacks from the tower to pop Black.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $75 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Explosion: Damage type changed ― Explosion → Normal
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.
— Update notes
3-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Damage increased ― 1 → 3
  • Buff Gains more frags ― 8 → 12
4-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Damage increased ― 2 → 3
  • Buff Gains more frags ― 8 → 16
  • Buff Frags: Pierce increased ― 2 → 3
5-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Pierce increased ― 3 → 20
  • Buff Gains more frags ― 8 → 16
5-0-2
  • Buff Frags: now deals +12 bonus ceramic damage (bug fix)
    • Note: originally intended to be implemented in v31.0
A while ago Frag Bombs was reworked to give Bomb normal type damage however we were not happy with the results of that change in the end, we didn’t want to go back and remove that again without giving back something nice in return so it has taken a while but now we have decided to go ahead with changing that back along with swapping out Recursive fortified damage for raw damage which we hope also improves crosspathing as the damage crosspath isn’t such a large increase over the base damage anymore.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Explosion: Damage type changed ― Normal → Explosion
    • Note: Bloon Crush and MOAB Eliminator are unchanged
5-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Frag damage increased ― 12 → 24
  • Nerf Frags: Frag bonus Ceramic damage reduced ― +12 → +0
For a crosspathing trial we’re removing the limits on Frags buffability & also giving more of a range boost to Extra Range.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $150 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Frag: damage is no longer capped
  • Buff Frag: pierce is no longer capped
  • Buff Range bonus increased ― +7 → +12
    • Note: xx2 total range bonus increased from +9 to +14
  • Buff Main explosion: pierce increased ― 14 → 22
Frag damage is being greatly improved all the way up as there’s little reason to trade stun uptime for improved damage.
— Update notes
2-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
3-0-2, 4-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Damage increased ― 3 → 6
5-0-2
  • Buff Frags: Damage increased ― 24 → 36
MOAB Assassin has traded the small ceramic bonus for MOAB-Mauling frag synergy, and to make things more frag-tastic the ability now also synergizes with frags for added flair.
— Update notes

  • Buff Frag: Now deals +9 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons
