'''Hot Shot''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 2 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It turns~~ its grapes ~~burning hot~~, ~~granting~~ grapes ~~the ability~~ to pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Frozen Bloon|Frozen Bloons]] but ~~losing the ability to pop~~ [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloons]]. Additionally, the grapes gain a damage-over-time effect that ticks every 1.5 seconds, dealing 2 damage and lasting 3.1 seconds.

Additionally, the grapes gain a damage-over-time effect that ticks every 1.5 seconds, dealing 2 damage and lasting 3.1 seconds. It can set Purple Bloons in this damage-over-time, but will not damage them.

Tier 4 and above crosspaths have extra DoT damage from Hot Shot.

*[[Aircraft Carrier (BTD6)|Aircraft Carrier]] grapes from the main ship deal 4 damage per tick, remaining at one tick every 1.5 seconds for 3.1 seconds. The radial volleys from the aircraft become tightly packed burning grapes that also burn Bloons, dealing 4 damage per tick per 0.5 seconds for 3.1 seconds.

*[[Carrier Flagship (BTD6)|Carrier Flagship]] increases damage per tick of both burning effects from 4 to 9.

*[[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]] burn effect does 4 damage per tick, increased to 9 with [[Trade Empire (BTD6)|Trade Empire]].<section end="lede" />

Hot Shot's damage-over-time effect and innate lead-popping are beneficial against early Leads and for ~~general damage to bloons~~. ~~This upgrade also allows~~ 0-2-2 Buccaneer ~~to be~~ a cheap but reliable ~~way to pop~~ Camo ~~Leads on maps with water~~. ~~It's not necessary for~~ multiple Buccaneers ~~to be crosspathed~~ with Hot Shot~~, as the DoT cannot be stacked~~. ~~Versus DDTs, external supports that grant lead~~-~~popping, such as [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] and a well-timed [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]]'s Naval Tactics~~, ~~are more reliable at damaging~~ DDTs ~~than crosspaths with Hot Shot~~.

Hot Shot's damage-over-time effect and innate lead-popping are beneficial against early Leads and for chipping Bloons. Notably, 0-2-2 Buccaneer is a cheap but reliable Camo Lead solution. Because the DoT cannot be stacked, multiple Buccaneers with Hot Shot for damage are not necessary. When used on first-path Buccaneers, it can handle DDTs when given external camo detection.
