Frag Bomb Shooter: Difference between revisions

A significant rework to Frag Bomb Shooter in Version 6.4 has removed its massive synergy with all ATK buffs, something that no other Monkey could match for grouped damage, bringing its base benefit from 9× to 6× at max, but this is not without buffing other ATK buffing sources.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> This rework was done to also rebalance it versus [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s synergies.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> Community testing still felt the new Frag Bomb Shooter was strong, just not dominant.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> | |||
