{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}MOAB Assassin is a guaranteed solution to Round 40 and Round 60, thanks to it one-shotting both {{BTD6|MOAB}}s and moderately damaged {{BTD6|BFB}}s. It can be used alone, and is the best Bomb Shooter upgrade to spam with, thanks to its high grouped MOAB popping power with its main attack and its ability's one-shotting capability.

When spamming MOAB Assassins, {{BTD6|Striker Jones}} is the best [[Hero]] thanks to his plethora of buffs for Bomb Shooters and ability to reset MOAB Assassin's ability. {{BTD6|Primary Mentoring}} is also strongly recommended for MOAB Assassin spam, due to Primary Mentoring granting free Tier 1 upgrades and reducing MOAB Assassin's ability cooldown. 0-4-0 MOAB Assassin serves its purpose in the mid-game, but if intending to spam them into the late-game, especially with Primary Mentoring, 1-4-0 is recommended to better deal with hyperdense blimps on rounds such as 94, 96, and 98.
