'''Bomber Ace''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces each of Monkey Ace's [[Exploding Pineapple (BTD6)|pineapples]] with bombing runs. Bombing runs each drop 4 bombs in quick succession, and only occur when Monkey Ace is over a track. Bombs explode 2 seconds after being dropped, deal 3 [[damage]], and have 20 [[pierce]]. Bombs inherit [[Spy Plane (BTD6)|Spy Plane's]] double [[Camo damage]]. Bombs cannot damage [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloons]].

Bombs cannot damage [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloons]]. The bombing run has a cooldown of 1.6 seconds.


When given [[Sharper Darts (BTD6)|Sharper Darts]], bomb explosions now gain +12 pierce. [[Rapid Fire (BTD6)|Rapid Fire]] increases attack speed of the bombing run by 33.33%.
[[Sharper Darts (BTD6)|Sharper Darts]] grants +12 pierce to each of its bombs. [[Rapid Fire (BTD6)|Rapid Fire]] increases attack speed of the bombing run by 33.33% (attack cooldown decreased to 1.2 seconds).

Bomber Ace reliably takes down Lead Bloons and offers group-popping of bloons. However, like most Aces, Bomber Ace requires micromanagement to reliably utilize its bombing run. Its main use case is [[Race Event]]s and CT Time Attack, allowing it to maximize pierce. The extra Camo damage from [[Spy Plane (BTD6)|Spy Plane]] allows its bombs become more reliable at demolishing Camo Ceramics.
Bomber Ace reliably pops groups and becomes more reliable against Leads. However, like most Aces, Bomber Ace requires micromanagement to manage timing of its bombs. Its main use case is [[Race Event]]s and CT Time Attack, allowing it to maximize pierce, though its DPS is still inconsistent on its own and quite map-dependent. The extra Camo damage from [[Spy Plane (BTD6)|Spy Plane]] improves its reliability at demolishing Camo Ceramics.


1-3-0 is the recommended crosspath, though 2-3-0's extra darts improves its reliability against Black Bloons. 0-3-1, despite its much greater pierce, usually outputs less DPS even in Race Event scenarios due to the bombs only landing on available track instead of spontaneously, and losing one bombing run per Ace flight cycle isn't worth it on most track layouts.

==Trivia==
*It has the largest price gap ratio between T3 and T4 upgrades in BTD6, with {{BTD6|Ground Zero}} costing 20× as much on Medium.
*In previous versions, its standalone cost was cheaper than the base Monkey Ace. Oddly, its price nerf in {{BTD6 version|7.0}} was undocumented in the patch notes.
