'''Maim MOAB''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[damage]] of Sniper Monkey's bullets from 20 to 30, and allows them to stun [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s except [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] and [[Boss Bloon]]s, preventing them from moving for a short time.   

With the [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]] crosspath, shrapnel can also stun MOAB-Class Bloons for 66% the normal duration. Additionally, shrapnel damage is increased from 4 to 6.

Without external buffs and {{BTD6|Monkey Knowledge}}, 4-x-0 can permanently stun a blue MOAB, while requiring a small attack speed buff (such as [[Jungle Drums (BTD6)|Jungle Drums]]) to perma-stun a BFB. 4-0-2 can perma-stun a BFB, and with a minor attack speed buff, it can also permanently stun a ZOMG or a DDT.

Maim MOAB is a flexible method of stunning blimps across any range, given enough [[Line of Sight]]. It is a good support tower, assisting defenses that take time to pop blimps. It sees great utility from the mid-game up to Round 150 (which reduces stun duration from all towers), thanks to both its stun and decent blimp damage.

4-2-0 is the generally recommended crosspath, as it grants DDT stunning power and the shrapnel allows for the stunning of far more blimps, providing significantly improved supporting capabilities. {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}} greatly enhances the 4-2-0 Maim MOAB, granting much-needed pierce and attack speed. 4-0-2 is useful for stalling single blimps, but is outclassed by {{BTD6|MOAB Shove}}, which is cheaper and deals less damage, allowing for a longer stall. However, 4-0-2 is very useful in [[Boss Bloon Event]]s, which demand perma-stunning of {{BTD6|ZOMG}}s for an optimal Tier 5<!--not cripmoab, the t5 boss rounds--> Boss round stall.
