'''Recursive Cluster''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the damage of all attacks by +1, and causes every other [[Cluster Bombs (BTD6)|cluster bomb]] to be "recursive", meaning its clusters themselves each form 8 more clusters. These sub-clusters deal 2 [[Damage#Explosion|Explosion]] damage, and have 4x pierce of the main clusters (32, 56 with 1-0-4, 96 with 2-0-4). Recursive bombs' main explosion also have increased pierce, from 14 to 18 but do not gain pierce from crosspaths, only radius and damage.
'''Recursive Cluster''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[damage]] of all explosions by 1, and causes its [[Cluster Bombs (BTD6)|cluster bombs]] to produce tertiary explosions on every second shot. While the secondary explosions visually spawn four tertiary explosions each, they are actually treated as one large explosion with more [[pierce]] and a larger radius than the secondary explosions. The tertiary explosions deal 2 [[Damage#Explosion|Explosion]] damage, and have pierce of the main clusters, for a total of 32 pierce (56 with [[Bigger Bombs (BTD6)|Bigger Bombs]] and 96 with [[Heavy Bombs (BTD6)|Heavy Bombs]]). Recursive bombs' main explosion also have increased pierce, from 14 to 18, but do not gain pierce from [[crosspath]]s, only radius and damage.

Recursive Cluster is excessively powerful in [[Race Event]]s, thanks to its extremely high pierce wiping out extreme amounts of Bloons at once, but either {{B|Striker Jones|BTD6}} or another tower is required for {{B|Black Bloon|BTD6}}s. Outside of races, Recursive Cluster is a good mid-game tower to counter clumped Bloons, but is not as powerful. Its power falls off starting on Round 81 due to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloons|Super Ceramics]] appearing, though Recursive Clusters can still be spammed for Rounds 81-100 on easier maps, where they have more time to clean up Super Ceramics.

Recursive Cluster is excessively powerful in [[Race]] modes,<!--includes race events and ct time attack, and stuff like that--> thanks to its extremely high pierce wiping out extreme amounts of Bloons at once, but either {{BTD6|Striker Jones}} or another tower is required for {{BTD6|Black Bloon}}s.

If using Recursive Cluster spam, {{B|Striker Jones|BTD6}} is the recommended [[Hero]] due to his plethora of buffs to Bomb Shooters. {{B|Primary Mentoring|BTD6}} is recommended as well, due to it granting free Tier 1 upgrades. 2-0-4 is the optimal crosspath for races and {{B|Bloonarius|BTD6}} due to the supreme importance of pierce there, though 0-2-4 is better elsewhere due to it dealing more single-target damage.
