The Assassinate MOAB ability has a cooldown of 30 seconds, and an initial cooldown of 10 seconds. Upon ability activation, a missile is fired at a [[MOAB-Class Bloon]], dealing 750 damage to it and soaking excess damage to its descendants, then creates an explosion which deals 3 damage to up to 100 Bloons near the main target. This ability missile has the following features:

* Only targets [[MOAB-Class ~~Bloon]]s~~

* Only targets MOAB-Class Bloons.

* Infinite range, and ignores line-of-sight blockers

* Infinite range, and ignores line-of-sight blockers.

* Follows the Bomb Shooter's targeting

* Follows the Bomb Shooter's [[Targeting option|targeting]].

* Lacks ~~Camo Detection, meaning they cannot target~~ [[~~DDT (BTD6)|DDTs~~]] ~~without additional help~~

* Lacks [[Camo detection]].

* Direct hits have the ~~Explosive~~ damage type~~, meaning they cannot damage~~ [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] without ~~additional help~~

* Direct hits and the explosion both have the Explosion [[damage type]].

* Damage soaks through layers. ~~This means, for example, that~~ if a target has only 200 health, the missile will fully destroy its target's outer layer and deal 550 damage to any children.

* Cannot target [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] without the ability to detect camo and the ability to pop [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloons]].

* Damage soaks through layers (e.g. if a target has only 200 health, the missile will fully destroy its target's outer layer and deal 550 damage to any children).

If the Bomb Shooter has the Frag Bombs crosspath, the explosion will also create 16 Frags (18 with {{BTD6 mk|Fraggy Frags}}) with the same properties as its regular attack (1 {{BTD6 dt|17}} damage wtth +9 to MOAB-Class), but will have 2 pierce instead of 1.

{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}MOAB Assassin is a guaranteed solution to Round 40 and Round 60, ~~thanks~~ to it one-~~shotting~~ both {{B|MOAB~~|BTD6~~}}s and moderately damaged {{B|BFB~~|BTD6~~}}s.

MOAB Assassin is a guaranteed solution to Round 40 and Round 60, being able to one-shot both {{BTD6|MOAB}}s and moderately damaged {{BTD6|BFB}}s. It can be used alone or as a spammable option, having high grouped MOAB damage with its main attack and MOAB-class damage penetration dealing great damage against weakened targets.

When spamming MOAB Assassins, {{B|Striker Jones~~|BTD6~~}} is the best [[Hero]] thanks to his plethora of buffs for Bomb Shooters and ability to reset MOAB Assassin's ability. {{B|Primary Mentoring~~|BTD6~~}} is also strongly recommended for MOAB Assassin spam, ~~due to Primary Mentoring granting~~ free ~~Tier 1~~ upgrades and ~~reducing MOAB Assassin's~~ ability ~~cooldown~~. 0-4-0 MOAB Assassin serves its purpose in the mid-game, but if intending to spam them into the late-game, especially with Primary Mentoring, 1-4-0 is recommended to better deal with hyperdense blimps on rounds such as 94, 96, and 98.

When spamming MOAB Assassins, {{BTD6|Striker Jones}} is the best [[Hero]] thanks to his plethora of buffs for Bomb Shooters and ability to reset MOAB Assassin's ability. {{BTD6|Primary Mentoring}} is also strongly recommended for MOAB Assassin spam, for free T1 upgrades and faster ability cooldowns. 0-4-0 MOAB Assassin serves its purpose in the mid-game, but if intending to spam them into the late-game, especially with Primary Mentoring, 0-4-2 is recommended to better deal with hyperdense blimps on rounds such as 94, 96, and 98. 1-4-0 is actually not as good at grouped MOAB damage, as 0-4-2's frags deal more collateral and have better pierce synergies.

For targeting priorities, Strong is usually the go-to, as doing so lets Assassin target the strongest blimps. However, when attempting to break down smaller blimps that are more dangerous (due to being closer to the exit) with either the main attack or ability, First is recommended. If attempting to break down a specific blimp that poses danger and is neither at the front nor the strongest blimp on the screen, set to [[Close]] and use the ability when the blimp passes over.
