Really Big Bombs (BTD6): Difference between revisions

notes: really big bombs is only useful for races but is outclassed by cluster bombs and recursive. If better options are not avaliable 3-2-0 is better crosspath with striker jones or MIB but 3-0-2 is better if neither of these options are avaliable.

'''Really Big Bombs''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[damage]] of the bombs from 2 to 4, increases the bombs' [[pierce]] from 38 to 80, and grants the ability to knockback Bloons. This knockback affects non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s and pushes them back by 20 [[Unit|units]]. Additionally with the [[Frag Bombs (BTD6)|Frag Bombs]] crosspath frags now have 6 damage (up from 2), 2 pierce (up from 1), and each bomb now releases 12 frags (up from 8).

Really Big Bombs is a very strong grouped popping power for its cost, being a powerful option for [[Race Event]]s and dense rounds such as Round 63, but remains weak against blimps. Compared to its competitor, [[Cluster Bombs (BTD6)|Cluster Bombs]], it deals similar damage to grouped Bloons, significantly less damage against blimps, similar overall pierce (albeit in a compact explosion instead of multiple clusters), and provides some utility with the knockback, putting the two on roughly even grounds.

In Race Events and CT Time Attack, if better options such as [[Abyssal Warrior]] or [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]] are enabled, Really Big Bombs is not necessary.


Despite its ability to layer-skip the immune layers of {{B|Rainbow Bloon|BTD6}}s, Really Big Bombs suffers from not being able to pop {{B|Black Bloon|BTD6}}s, so {{B|Striker Jones|BTD6}} is recommended to maximize its power. The middle crosspath is better for the increased rate of explosions (which also grants it far superior reliability) and better knockback, although 3-0-2 can be used as well if Striker Jones is not available.
