Recursive Cluster (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Recursive Cluster''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the damage of all attacks by +1, and causes every other [[Cluster Bombs (BTD6)|cluster bomb]] to be "recursive", meaning its clusters themselves each visually form 8 more clusters, which actually each form 1 sub-cluster with greater radius and pierce. These sub-clusters deal 2 [[Damage#Explosion|Explosion]] damage, and have 4× pierce of the main clusters, for a total of 32 pierce (56 with [[Bigger Bombs (BTD6)|Bigger Bombs]] and 96 with [[Really Big Bombs (BTD6)|Really Big Bombs]]). Recursive bombs' main explosion also have increased pierce, from 14 to 18, but do not gain pierce from crosspaths, only radius and damage.

Recursive Cluster is excessively powerful in [[Race]] modes,<!--includes race events and ct time attack, and stuff like that--> thanks to its extremely high pierce wiping out extreme amounts of Bloons at once, but either {{BTD6|Striker Jones}} or another tower is required for {{BTD6|Black Bloon}}s. Outside of Races, Recursive Cluster is a good mid-game tower to counter clumped Bloons, but is not as powerful. Its power falls off starting on Round 81 due to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloons|Super Ceramics]] appearing.  

If using Recursive Cluster spam, {{BTD6|Striker Jones}} is the recommended [[Hero]] due to his plethora of buffs to Bomb Shooters. {{BTD6|Primary Mentoring}} is recommended as well, due to it granting free Tier 1 upgrades. 2-0-4 is the optimal crosspath for Races and {{BTD6|Bloonarius}} due to the supreme importance of pierce there, though 0-2-4 is better elsewhere due to it dealing more single-target damage.
