MOAB Domination is the Boomerang Monkey's path 3 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It greatly improves both the Boomerang Monkey's regular Kylie Boomerang and its MOAB-pressing Heavy Kylie.

• Regular Kylie damage increased from 2 to 12, pierce increased from 18 to 54, and attack speed of this attack increased by +100%
• Heavy Kylie attack speed increased by +100% (5 seconds instead of 10), can target and attack through line-of-sight blockers, and is able to target all MOAB-Class Bloons, even those that it cannot push back (i.e. BADs and Boss Bloons). The heavy Kylie stuns MOAB-Class Bloons for 0.25 seconds, its bonus MOAB-Class damage increased from +4 to +24, pierce increased from 200 to 300, and explodes instead of returning.
  • Explosion deals 100 Normal type damage to all Bloons in a radius of 50, with 40 pierce, and applies a burn damage-over-time effect which deals 50 damage/second for 4 seconds

With top crosspaths, it gains the following:

• Improved Rangs: +100 heavy Kylie pierce (400), +4 regular Kylie pierce (58).
• Glaives: +120 heavy Kylie pierce (520), +23 regular Kylie pierce (81), +50% radius for heavy Kylies (projectile: 15, explosion: 75), +50% pushback (2 → 3), and explosion pierce (50).

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 51.2

MOAB Domination is a powerful late-game tower focusing on both group damage and knockback. Its press attacks shred through dense groups of blimps while the regular Kylie Boomerangs deal much more damage to help with cleaning up Ceramics. It pairs well with Overclock due to that improving both its damage and its knockback, and since knockback is weak against fast-moving DDTs it should also be paired with DDT slowdown towers such as Bloon Sabotage. The main Kylie attacks can effectively deal with ceramics if it can attack down a straight line, but otherwise it will need help with cleaning up the Ceramic rushes it can often create.

0-2-5 is the better crosspath as it has better damage output in all cases. 2-0-5 deals more knockback against dense groups of 30+ blimps, but even then 0-2-5 still gives more DPS.

“

The MOAB Press top crosspath is the ‘better’ crosspath for most cases due to having more than double the pierce as well as a stronger knockback amount on a tower that most effectively uses high pierce, as this is one of the better support towers in the game we are reducing that superior crosspath without nerfing the lesser one to even this more.
