Double Shot is the Ninja Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It allows the Ninja Monkey to throw two shurikens at a time instead of one. Its projectiles are always spread 18° apart from each other, but the center of each shot's spread is randomly offset by up to 5° clockwise or anticlockwise.

Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 52.2
Double Shot is a decent T3 that increases Ninja's early-game carry for low cost, doubling its potential for cleanup for less cost than buying another Ninja. While decent on most maps, Double Shot stands out in early-game defense on #Ouch CHIMPS to cover each lane.
Seeking Shuriken is the optimal crosspath for Double Shot for most cases, with Caltrops being an optional bonus. Second-path crosspaths are okay for extra blowback and decamo, though Shinobi spam or other towers cover that role more efficiently.

"[S]hould no longer be able to occasionally shoot with an infinite range in specific setups" (bug fix)
| “ | As ninja is the ‘Camo Specialist’ and has been since inception, it is the only tower that will unlock Camo Prioritization on the base tower. — Update notes |
” |
Camo Prioritization filter added
| “ | We’re mindful that this has been in place since launch, but still think this change could lead to more balanced crosspath Ninja play for casual and for apex players. Ninja's 1xx feels like it does too much, granting both range and attack speed to all crosspaths, so these benefits are now being split apart. — Update notes |
” |
- Range decreased ― 47 units → 40 units
Seeking Shuriken crosspath is unchanged
| “ | While a great early game option, Ninja generally struggles with dominant crosspathing choices and also has relatively poor base tower value. Without going into every single change, T3s onward remain relatively unchanged with a lot of prices below T3 being moved around from less favorable crosspaths into better/higher tier upgrades. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $850 → $900
- Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- 3-0-2
- Caltrops: Attack cooldown increased ― 2.728s → 2.73s
- 3-2-0
- Now deals +2 damage to Camo Bloons (undocumented)
- Note: The effect of Counter-Espionage to remove camo gets priority over this bonus, so it doesn't get applied to regular Bloons, however it will work against Phayze while Radar Jam is active.
