'''Spectre''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BMC)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. ~~It converts the attacks of the previous upgrade to fire a constant straight shot stream of darts and bombs towards the closest Bloon to the~~ Spectre.

On the {{Mobile version of|Bloons Monkey City}}, due to an [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (mobile)#Sub-projectile duplication glitch|error]], pierce buffs like the [[Monkey Fort (BMC)|Monkey Fort]] will allow the bombs to explode twice. On the {{Flash version|Bloons Monkey City}}, instead a [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (Flash)|different error]] allows this tower to attack once every frame provided enough attack speed buffs from [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] and [[Jungle Drums (BMC)|Jungle Drums]] are given.

~~A solid tower for~~ the ~~late~~ game and ~~excels at grouped MOAB popping power~~, ~~saving up to this~~ can ~~well reward the player~~ by ~~clearing~~ the ~~rest~~ of the ~~Bloons on~~ the ~~tile being captured. While there can be better options for~~ single target ~~ZOMG~~ damage~~, it's still~~ a ~~strong enough upgrade that~~ it ~~can be used almost anywhere~~.

Due to the decreased [[MOAB-Class Bloon]] health in this game compared to Bloons TD 5, the Spectre has enough damage to threaten packed MOABs and BFBs (and heavily damage ZOMGs), and can often carry tiles by itself due to the nature of most tracks. (and the bugs that further improve its damage in both versions). As a result, the saveup is well worth its price and only needs some additional help in single target MOAB damage from a [[MOAB Assassin (BMC)|MOAB Assassin]] or [[Super Wide Funnel (BMC)|Super Wide Funnel]] to break down the high health ZOMGs. Its capability to damage DDTs with its bombs lets it carry as DDT popping, but may benefit from MIB for better reliability.

~~One can also use~~ the ~~[[Monkey Fort (BMC)|Monkey Fort]] [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (mobile)#Sub-Projectile duplication glitch|bug]]~~ to ~~effectively double the damage of the explosives~~.

Crosspathing is redundant unless Camo detection is required, as the exploding pineapples do not contribute meaningfully to its overall DPS.
