The Artifact is useful for cleanup in the early game, but shouldn't be relied on as a way to stalling as the radial pattern of the darts plus the flight pattern of the Ace makes it difficult to hit Bloons reliably without extensive micro, at least until [[Operation: Dart Storm (BTD6)|Operation: Dart Storm]] or [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]] can be used, however, at this point, its utility drops fast when Ceramic and MOAB-Class Bloons start appearing. The extra pierce can be useful for [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]] and the dart attacks of [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] in particular, however the presence of [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramic Bloon]]s in later rounds may reduce the necessity for pierce. Since it must pop a Bloon (not simply hit a Bloon), regardless of damage type, it cannot be used to stun Bloons with [[One Monkey Army]] active.

Pincushion Flyby is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. It grants Monkey Ace projectiles a Pin-like effect that stuns small Bloons they pop for 1s, lasting for 10 layers, and grants a pierce buff that increases with the rarity of the Artifact. Darts are unable to pin Lead Bloons and Ceramic Bloons until the outer layer is popped. It also adds a 0-1-1 / 0-1-2 / 0-0-2 Monkey Ace to the party.

The extra pierce can be useful for Neva-Miss Targeting and the dart attacks of Spectre in particular, however the presence of Super Ceramic Bloons in later rounds may reduce the necessity for pierce.
