Shinobi Tactics (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Shinobi Tactics''' is the [[Ninja Monkey (BTD6)|Ninja Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[attack speed]] and [[pierce]] of all Ninja Monkeys (including itself) within its [[range]], which can stack with other Shinobi buffs up to 20 times on a single Ninja Monkey. It reduces attack cooldown by 8% multiplicatively and pierce by 8% additively, for a maximum of ~5.3× attack speed and 2.6× pierce when fully stacked.

These stats do not factor in the Shinobi Tactics' buff, which it virtually always has at least 1 stack of.

Shinobi Tactics grants an essential DPS increase to a Ninja-focused defense and a consistent [[Distraction (BTD6)|Distraction]] effect. Generally, 16–20 Shinobis are worth getting. [[Monkey Commerce (BTD6)|Monkey Commerce]] greatly reduces the cash and space investment by reducing upgrade costs and increasing range for the buff. Harder maps tend to be restrictive in space, though Shinobis shine on [[Ouch|#Ouch]].

Shinobis make [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]] a midgame carry with a smooth transition into a [[Grandmaster Ninja (BTD6)|Grandmaster Ninja]] lategame. Alternatively, the tier 5 can be swapped out for a [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)|Permanent Brew]] paired with multiple Bloonjitsus, covering all Bloon weaknesses in the process. In [[Freeplay]], said strategy can even outperform [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temples]].  

While [[Master Bomber (BTD6)|Master Bomber]] is usable without Shinobis, these buffs draw a benefit against denser rounds and [[DDT]]s.

 

Shinobi crosspaths are usually unnecessary. 0-3-1 simply increases the range of the Shinobi buff. For more consistent Super Ceramic blowback, the top path can be upgraded. Caltrops are impactful in piling up damage, especially when Permabrewed, though with the consideration of lag.
