Sticky Bomb ~~grants an attack that~~ does ~~high damage to blimps, dealing~~ reliable single-target damage. Placement ~~towards~~ the front of the track is important, as the detonation has a delay. Its high splash damage can assist against grouped MOABs, but it shouldn't be relied upon due to its slow detonation and low pierce. If there is insufficient cash for the usual Round 100 support (e.g. [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] or [[First Strike Capability (BTD6)|First Strike]]), Sticky Bomb can be used instead.

Since the sticky bomb attack cannot target regular ~~bloons~~, an additional tower will be needed if saving into [[Master Bomber (BTD6)|Master Bomber]] during the midgame. [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]] provides consistent DPS with [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobis]], the latter also improving the rate of its flash bomb for better cleanup.

Sticky Bomb also sees use as a cheap defense to the first tier of most [[Boss Bloon|Bosses]]. It is a notable counter against [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]] since it cannot remove sticky bombs already attached. However, it is useless against [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] ~~since~~ it ~~burns~~ off ~~the bomb~~.

1-0-4 is the preferred crosspath because it is not worth sacrificing attack speed for decamo. 2-0-4 can be added for better consistency against groups and take advantage of its extra damage to stunned and stickied Bloons, ~~however~~ this pierce buff is insignificant without Shinobi.
