==Strategy==
Cluster Bombs is a very strong tower in [[Race Event]]s, where it wipes out massive clumps of Bloons thanks to its excessively large pierce and 2 damage with the 2-0-3 crosspath, which is recommended in all cases. However, Cluster Bombs is sub-par outside of races, due to its inability to pop {{B|Black Bloon|BTD6}}s without {{B|Striker Jones|BTD6}}, 2-0-3's unreliability, and 0-2-3's weak damage. If running a Cluster Bomb spam strategy, which is functional but suboptimal, Striker Jones is the recommended [[Hero]] for his various buffs to Bomb Shooters and {{B|Primary Expertise|BTD6}} for both its buffs to [[Primary]] Towers and granting of free Tier 1 and 2 upgrades.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Cluster Bombs is a very strong tower in Race Events, where it wipes out massive clumps of Bloons thanks to its excessively large pierce and 2 damage with the 2-0-3 crosspath, which is recommended in all cases. However, Cluster Bombs is sub-par outside of races, due to its inability to pop Black Bloons without Striker Jones, 2-0-3's unreliability, and 0-2-3's weak damage. If running a Cluster Bomb spam strategy, which is functional but suboptimal, Striker Jones is the recommended Hero for his various buffs to Bomb Shooters and Primary Expertise for both its buffs to Primary Towers and granting of free Tier 1 and 2 upgrades.

“
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.
— Update notes
”
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 18 → 14
“
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
“
Cluster Bombs has far superior pierce over top path which is the actual pierce path while also providing better overall cleanup power, so for now we’d like to reign those in a little closer.
— Update notes
”
  • Nerf Cluster explosion: Pierce reduced ― 10 → 8
“
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
“
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 Range bonus increased ― +7 → +12
    • Note: xx2 total range bonus increased from +9 to +14
  • Buff Main explosion: pierce increased ― 14 → 22
“
Cutting down roughly 10% on all bottom path upgrade costs as especially on Bomb Blitz even after recent buffs there are many downsides that need to be covered to use this path effectively.
— Update notes
”
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $800 → $700
