'''Crossbow''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Dart Monkey's darts with a crossbow, which ~~has longer~~ [[range]] ~~and~~ fires bolts that deal 3 [[damage]] instead of 1, can pop up to 3 [[Bloon]]s at once instead of 2, and travel slightly faster and further.

'''Crossbow''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Dart Monkey's darts with a crossbow, which increases [[range]] from 48 to 60 (63 with {{BTD6 mk|Crossbow Reach}}), fires bolts that deal 3 [[damage]] instead of 1, can pop up to 4 [[Bloon]]s at once instead of 2, and travel slightly faster and further.

With, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]], shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +3 pierce (total of +6 pierce) with [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]].

With, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]], shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +5 pierce (total of +8 pierce) with [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]]; in total, they have 7 and 12 pierce, respectively.

{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}Crossbow ~~is a decent early-game tower, with its~~ main role ~~being~~ defeating early-game {{BTD6|Camo Bloon}}s~~. On easier maps~~, ~~it can~~ solo all Camos that spawn before Round 40 ~~outside~~ [[~~Alternate Bloons Rounds~~]]~~. However, it is not as useful on~~ [[~~Expert~~]] ~~maps, where the lack of straight lines makes its shots miss frequently and prevent it from maximizing its pierce~~. 0-2-3 ~~is the optimal crosspath, as the reliability~~ and ~~greater~~ single-target damage ~~from the extra attack speed~~ outweigh ~~the importance of~~ extra pierce.

Crossbow's main role is defeating early-game {{BTD6|Camo Bloon}}s, being able to solo all Camos that spawn before Round 40 on easier maps. On harder maps, straight lines are often difficult to find, making Crossbow miss its shots frequently. As such, Crossbow is typically set on [[Strong]] or [[Last]] to focus on popping stronger Bloons into manageable chunks.

0-2-3's increased consistency and single-target damage outweigh 2-0-3's extra pierce.
