Cripple MOAB (BTD6)

Line 21:

This upgrade increases the amount of time [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] are stunned on hit. It also allows Cripple MOAB's main bullets to apply a cripple debuff to MOAB-class bloons, which makes them take +5 damage from all damage sources.

Cripple MOAB deals exceptional single-target damage on its own right, in addition to providing a debuff and allowing towers to maximize damage against single targets, hence standing out the most in [[Boss Bloon Event]]s (against Tier 2+) and [[Boss Rush]]. In these cases, set it to [[Strong]] to affect the strongest blimp, but set it to [[First]] against [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] to avoid [[Rock Bloon]]s. As its blimp debuff is a flat damage bonus, towers that benefit the most from the cdebuff are those which shoot a plethora of low-damage projectiles, such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]s, [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]]s, and Shinobi-buffed [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]]s. The debuff also makes Cripple MOAB powerful in [[Freeplay]].

Cripple MOAB ~~excels at debuffing~~ single ~~blimps from any range, given enough [[Line of Sight]]~~, allowing towers to maximize damage against single targets, hence standing out the most in [[Boss Bloon Event]]s and [[Boss Rush]]. ~~Setting on~~ [[Strong]] ~~is often the best~~ to affect the strongest blimp, ~~unless~~ against [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] ~~where [[First]] is necessary~~ to avoid [[Rock Bloon]]s.

As its blimp debuff is a flat damage bonus, towers that benefit the most from the ~~crippled debuff~~ are those which shoot ~~lots~~ of low-damage projectiles, such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]s, [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]]s, and Shinobi-buffed [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]]s.

~~Path 2 crosspath~~ is ~~better for group~~ damage, as the ~~shrapnel can stun~~ and ~~cripple many MOABs~~ in ~~one attack, while Path 3 crosspath is better for~~ single target damage. ~~Path 2 also grants camo detection~~, ~~allowing this tower~~ to ~~hit, stun and cripple DDTs, and reliably affect Phayze~~.

In [[CHIMPS]], Cripple MOAB is also a solid tower, dealing large amounts of damage with both its main bullet and explosion, in addition to providing utility with its stun and debuff. When using it, the [[Axis of Havoc]] setup (with all Tier 5 Snipers) is simple yet powerful, as {{B|Elite Sniper|BTD6}} buffs it and {{B|Elite Defender|BTD6}}. In this setup, Cripple MOAB takes care of blimps and aids the other Snipers with its debuff, Elite Sniper cleans up Bloons, and Elite Defender deals good overall damage (with 0-2-5) or excels in single-target damage (with 2-0-5). Cripple MOAB remains strong on its own outside the Axis of Havoc, being able to aid a variety of strategies.

~~Cripple MOAB is great for late~~-~~game rounds or high difficulty boss tiers, as the debuff will help any other damage~~-~~dealing towers, plus grant some extra damage. A tower with similar effects~~ is the ~~[[Glue Gunner~~ (~~BTD6~~)~~|Glue Storm]]~~, ~~which is significantly cheaper but gives a less powerful debuff of only +2~~ damage. ~~In these cases where single target damage~~ is preferred~~, Path 3 crosspath should be bought, alongside a~~ [[~~Monkey Village~~ (BTD6)|~~Monkey Village~~]] ~~with~~ the ~~[[Jungle Drums (BTD6)|Jungle Drums]] upgrade for almost full~~ debuff ~~uptime on bosses~~ and ~~BADs~~.

5-0-2 is the optimal crosspath for Cripple MOAB in CHIMPS and against Bosses (except Phayze), allowing it to deal more overall damage with its bullets and explosions. 5-2-0 is preferred against Phayze (which demands innate [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection) and in Freeplay (in which the debuff is by far its most important attribute, and 5-2-0's group debuff is far preferable to 5-0-2's single-target debuff).
