'''Juggernaut''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BMC)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. It increases the [[Spike-O-Pult (BMC)|Spike-O-Pult]]'s [[attack speed]] and replaces its spiked balls with much larger spiked balls that travel much faster, can pop up to 100 Bloons instead of 18, can [[damage]] [[Lead Bloon (BMC)|Lead Bloon]]s and [[frozen]] Bloons, and deal +3 damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BMC)|Ceramic Bloon]]s.
* Fires Juggernaut balls that increased projectile width from 5 units to 23 units, and have a faster [[Projectile speed]] from 385 units per frame to 560 compared to a spiked ball.
* [[Damage]] against Ceramic bloons increased from 1 to 4
* [[Attack cooldown]] decreased from 1.54 seconds to 1.4 seconds
* [[Pierce]] greatly increased from 18 to 100

Juggernaut is best used on straight lines to maximize its high pierce. It is not recommended to crosspath with [[Sharp Shots (BMC)|Sharp Shots]] or [[Razor Sharp Shots (BMC)|Razor Sharp Shots]] as the extra pierce is tiny in comparison to the Juggernaut's 100 pierce.
Because of its cheap price, Juggernaut is best used in batches of 2 to 3 on straight lines to maximize its high pierce against groups of Bloons, especially [[Ceramic Bloon (BMC)|Ceramic Bloon]]s due to its bonus damage. Certain targeting options can make it attack more consistently on specific straight lines so it doesn't chase Bloons as likely. It also has the benefit of being a relatively cheap upgrade for early [[Camo Bloon (BMC)|Camo]] [[Lead Bloon (BMC)|Lead Bloon]] popping, especially useful for Dart reliant [[Monkey Teams (BMC)|Monkey Teams]].


===General Uses===
Juggernaut is affected by a different beneficial bug on each version. On the {{Multiplat version|Bloons Monkey City}}, a [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BMC)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] can be placed nearby to many Juggernauts to deal bonus damage to all Bloon types [[MOAB (BMC)|MOAB]] and higher, resulting in massive packed MOAB-Class popping power. On the {{Flash version|Bloons Monkey City}}, upgrading a Dart Monkey transformed by [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BMC)|Super Monkey Fan Club]] results in the rapid fire attack transferring over to firing Juggernaut balls instead of darts for the duration of the ability. This can be combined with the [[list of errors in BTD5 and BMC (Flash)|Permanent SMFC bug]] to keep firing juggernauts for an indefinite period of time.
*Dealing with grouped Bloons along a straight path to make use of high pierce.
*Dealing with Ceramic Bloons, especially grouped ceramics from MOABs or rushes.


===Advanced Uses===
It is not recommended to crosspath with [[Sharp Shots (BMC)|Sharp Shots]] or [[Razor Sharp Shots (BMC)|Razor Sharp Shots]] as the extra pierce is tiny in comparison to the Juggernaut's 100 pierce.

*MOAB popping and Ceramic clean-up under [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BMC)|MIB Village]] due to a [[List_of_errors_in_BTD5_and_BMC_(mobile)#MIB_glitch|bug]] {{g|BMCM}}
*Hypersonic Attacking: Upgrade a non-tier 3 Dart Monkey to Juggernaut while the Super Monkey Fan Club ablity is active.{{g|BMCF}} this bug can be combined with the Perma Super Fan bug, see [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BMC)|Super Monkey Fan Club]] for more information.
