Armor Piercing Darts (BTD6): Difference between revisions

|description  =Special AP darts gain increased damage and popping power, plus additional damage to MOAB class Bloons.

'''Armor Piercing Darts''' is the [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[damage]] of Monkey Sub's main darts from 1 to 2, and increases their [[MOAB-Class damage]] from +0 to +2. This upgrade also increases the [[MOAB-Class damage]] of [[Airburst Darts (BTD6)|airburst projectiles]] from +0 to +1, and increases their [[pierce]] from 2 to 5.

{{Strategy needed}}

Armor Piercing Darts is a decent T4 for carrying the mid-game when paired with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], helping save up for more effective T5's later on. Its relatively high MOAB damage, improved base pierce, and multiple projectiles improve its reliability at damaging bloons quickly. However, it still has low base damage to non-blimps despite its moderate attack speed, which disrupts strategies that rely on stalling bloons or dealing precise damage to groups of bloons.

Armor Piercing Darts is a fair candidate for [[Sub Commander (BTD6)|Sub Commander]] armies on maps that utilize [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|Advanced Intel]] for long-ranged coverage, however the 0-3-2 [[Ballistic Missile (BTD6)|Ballistic Missile]] is usually preferred for better localized damage.

 

The best crosspath for Armor Piercing Darts is Advanced Intel, to target bloons further around the map, and has greater synergy with external buffs. 0-1-4 and 0-2-4 improve its local-ranged damage, but often unnecessary.
