Cripple MOAB is the Sniper Monkey's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the amount of time MOAB-Class Bloons are stunned on hit and allows Sniper Monkey to apply a cripple debuff to them, causing them to take +5 damage from all sources. It also increases the damage of Sniper Monkey's bullets from 30 to 140, and grants bullets an area of effect that deals 28 damage to up to 10 Bloons near the impact location (up to a distance of 8 units). This effect does not stun or cripple blimps.
| Bloon type | Stun duration | Debuff duration |
|---|---|---|
| MOAB | 7s | 7s |
| BFB | 6s | 6s |
| ZOMG | 3s | 3s |
| DDT (if visible) | 4s | 4s |
| BAD and Boss Bloon | 0s | 0.75s |
With the Shrapnel Shot crosspath, shrapnel can now stun and debuff MOAB-Class Bloons for roughly 66% of the normal duration. Additionally, shrapnel damage is increased from 6 to 12 and pierce increased from 2 to 6, plus extra projectile speed and lifespan.
| Bloon type | Stun duration | Debuff duration |
|---|---|---|
| MOAB | 4.5s | 4.5s |
| BFB | 4s | 4s |
| ZOMG | 2s | 2s |
| DDT | 2.5s | 2.5s |
| BAD and Boss Bloon | 0s | 0.5s |
Starting on round 150, the duration of the stun is reduced.

Strategy
This section was last updated for: version 50.0
Cripple MOAB's debuff makes it stand out in Boss Bloon Events (against Tier 2+), Boss Rush, and Freeplay. As this debuff is a flat damage bonus, towers that benefit the most are those that have fast-firing, but low-damage projectiles, such as Overdrives, Sun Avatars, and Shinobi-buffed Bloonjitsus. It should be left on Strong targeting, but First against Dreadbloon to avoid Rock Bloons.
In CHIMPS, Cripple MOAB is a subpar choice. Compared to other towers in the same price range it is lacking as a solo damage tower, and may struggle to beat the BAD.
5-0-2 is the better crosspath for Cripple MOAB in CHIMPS and against most Bosses. This crosspath can achieve full debuff uptime against BADs and Bosses with either Jungle Drums or Berserker Brew. 5-2-0 is preferred against Phayze (which demands innate Camo detection) and in Freeplay (in which the debuff is by far its most important effect, and 5-2-0's group debuff is preferable to 5-0-2's single-target).

“
This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff

To retain value in more Lead-heavy situations including against DDTs, this upgrade that has always allowed Lead popping to main attack will now also grant this to the Shrapnel from any shrapnel shot snipers mixing in this upgrade

- Now changes the damage type of shrapnel to Normal
“
Trading off rate of fire for shrapnel crosspath doesn’t work well for Maim MOAB as it’s all about being a stall tower, so instead of focussing on a damage increase here the shrapnel will now apply the benefits of the sniper’s stun & debuff to turn this crosspath choice into a question of preference in grouping vs single target.

Cripple MOAB’s price currently limits it mainly to freeplay and so has been reduced.

Maim MOABs grouped stun potential when crosspathed with Shrapnel feels it is overperforming too much so the shrapnel will now have a reduced stun amount compared to the initial target hit

While there is some level of strategic placement to the 420 crosspath, Maim MOAB has high effectiveness for unlimited range slowing without any necessary spam use so is seeing a small price increase with a larger reduction on the T5 cost.

- Upgrade cost reduced ― $34,000 → $32,000

“
This will allow Cripple MOAB to take out regular MOAB layers in one shot until round 100; for such a slow attacking single target tower we feel this will help top path flex, even if mostly for show.

- Damage increased ― 80 → 280
- Overall cost increased by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
“
Even with the high damage per shot, Cripple MOAB still has low value outside of debuff capability, we feel that these shots pack enough of a punch now that they should do a little collateral damage - so lets do it! (we’ve also increased shrapnel pierce at this tier to not tip crosspath balance too far to one side).
