The ability also grants a buff to all Ninja Monkeys on screen with the [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]] upgrade, increasing their range by +10 [[Unit|units]] and increasing their [[MOAB-Class damage]] by +2.

==Costs and sell values==

==Strategy==

Since [[Ascended Shadow]] now grants a permanent HP reduction to incoming blimps, Grand Saboteur's value is mostly relegated to the bonus MOAB-class damage for nearby [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobis]] during its ability. Regardless, Grand Saboteur's ability is still a great way to accrue max pops for the Ascended Shadow. Buffs such as [[Gerry's Fire]] and [[Total Transformation (BTD6)|Total Transformation]] are among the many standout synergies with Grand Saboteur, in some cases rivalling other T5 Ninja strategies for the cost to set up.

As its main power is in its abilities, its crosspathing choice should be based on Shinobis.
