'''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]]s 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~~.

~~The area damage neither stuns nor cripples any Bloons and cannot hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]] unless Camo detection is granted.~~

With the [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]] [[crosspath]], shrapnel can now stun and debuff MOAB-Class Bloons for roughly 66% of the normal duration. Additionally, shrapnel damage is increased from 6 to 12 and pierce increased from 2 to 3.

With the [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]] [[crosspath]], shrapnel can now stun and debuff MOAB-Class Bloons for roughly 66% of the normal duration. Additionally, shrapnel damage is increased from 6 to 12 and [[pierce]] increased from 2 to 6, plus extra [[projectile]] speed and lifespan.

Cripple MOAB ~~deals exceptional single-target damage on its own right, in addition to providing a~~ debuff ~~and allowing towers to maximize damage against single targets, hence standing~~ out ~~the most~~ in [[Boss Bloon Event]]s (against Tier 2+) ~~and~~ [[Boss Rush]]~~. In these cases~~, ~~set it to~~ [[~~Strong]] to affect the strongest blimp, but set it to [[First]] against [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon~~]] ~~to avoid [[Rock Bloon]]s~~. As ~~its blimp~~ debuff is a flat damage bonus, towers that benefit the most ~~from the debuff~~ are those ~~which shoot a plethora of~~ low-damage projectiles, such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]s, [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]]s, and Shinobi-buffed [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]]s. ~~The debuff also makes Cripple MOAB powerful in~~ [[~~Freeplay~~]].

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.

In [[CHIMPS]], Cripple MOAB is ~~also~~ a ~~solid~~ tower, ~~dealing large amounts of damage with both its main bullet~~ and ~~explosion, in addition~~ to ~~providing utility with its stun and debuff. When using it,~~ the ~~[[Axis of Havoc]] setup (with all Tier 5 Snipers) is simple yet powerful, as~~ {{~~B|Elite Sniper|~~BTD6~~}} buffs it and {{B|Elite Defender~~|~~BTD6~~}}. In this setup, Cripple MOAB takes care of blimps and aids the other Snipers with its debuff, Elite Sniper cleans up Bloons, and Elite Defender deals good overall damage (with 0-2-5) or excels in single-target damage (with 2-0-5). Cripple MOAB remains strong on its own outside the Axis of Havoc, being able to aid a variety of strategies.

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}}.

~~Attack speed buffs, such as~~ {{B|Jungle Drums~~|BTD6~~}} ~~and~~ {{B|Berserker Brew~~|BTD6~~}}~~, are recommended for greater standalone damage and higher debuff uptime, with 5-0-2 achieving full debuff uptime against BADs and Bosses with either of them~~. ~~5-0-2 is the optimal crosspath for Cripple MOAB in~~ CHIMPS ~~and against Bosses (except Phayze)~~, ~~allowing it to deal~~ more ~~overall damage with its bullets and explosions~~. 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 ~~attribute~~, and 5-2-0's group debuff is ~~far~~ preferable to 5-0-2's single-target ~~debuff~~).

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).
