'''MOAB Shove''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Heli Pilot a new shove attack, which can slow or reverse the movement of [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]. This attack deals no [[damage]], and has 1 [[pierce]] which cannot be buffed. [[Bigger Jets (BTD6)|Bigger Jets]] enhances the shove's strength.

This upgrade also grants Heli Pilot a new missile attack. This attack deals 1 damage with +2 [[Ceramic damage]], +2 [[MOAB-Class damage]], 10 pierce, and a 3 second attack cooldown. Missiles have infinite range unlike Heli Pilot's other attacks. These missiles cannot damage [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloons]].

This upgrade's description is misleading: the shove is ''not'' amplified by the [[IFR (BTD6)|IFR]] upgrade except that it gains [[Camo detection]].

MOAB Shove is a cheap and easy-to-use MOAB stall against a single blimp, and is capable of stalling out rounds for an end-of-round stall, to cool off activated abilities or maximize [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] stockpiles. However, it starts to fall off against multiple at a time, though it remains great at slowing down a crowd of already slow blimps. It can permastall a single MOAB and significantly slows a single BFB, visible DDT, or ZOMG. Unlike most towers, it doesn't fall off much on multilane maps, which often separate MOABs on different lanes, allowing Shove to focus on one at a time, and even single out a target to a distant region.
MOAB Shove is a cheap and easy-to-use MOAB stall against a single blimp. It is a potent support that stands out against midgame MOABs and versus BFBs and ZOMGs in the late-game. However, it starts to fall off against multiple at a time, though it remains great at slowing down a crowd of already slow blimps. Unlike most towers, it doesn't fall off much on multilane maps, which often separate MOABs on different lanes, allowing Shove to focus on one at a time, and single out a target in a specific region.
 
In [[CHIMPS]], it is often bought to allow an end-of-round stall, to cool off activated abilities or maximize [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] stockpiles. For [[Boss Bloon Event (BTD6)|Boss Bloon Event]]s, it can be used to stall out Resurrected Blimps from T1 [[Lych]].<!--not sure what else shove in boss events-->


0-1-3 is preferred for its strong shove, and can also slowly push back a single BFB. 0-2-3 can target DDTs innately, though this is outclassed by more reliable DDT slowdowns such as [[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)|Bloon Sabotage]], while top crosspaths are only beneficial if planning to further upgrade to [[Comanche Defense (BTD6)|Comanche Defense]].
