pineapple pierce use case mostly for "pierce" on explosives, the pineapple is otherwise mostly relegated to the spy plane crosspath in those situations where you need camo detect (we discuss this in spy plane article), and we should state that pineapples transitions into spy plane because that's usually the main incentive for the crosspath. was gonna say "and subpar for flying fortress" but nah.

'''Exploding Pineapple''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Monkey Ace an additional attack, which drops an explosive pineapple on the map at the Monkey Ace's location. Pineapples explode after 2 seconds, dealing 1 [[damage]] with 20 [[pierce]] and an [[Attack Cooldown|attack cooldown]] of 1.6 seconds. Pineapple explosions cannot damage [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloons]].

This upgrade grants the MOAB Missiles of [[Fighter Plane (BTD6)|Fighter Plane]] and subsequent upgrades +2 pierce and increased blast radius. This upgrade grants the explosive missiles of [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] and [[Flying Fortress (BTD6)|Flying Fortress]] increased pierce by +10 or +15 respectively, and increased blast radius.
Additionally, explosives from its other upgrade paths are improved:
 
*MOAB Missiles of [[Fighter Plane (BTD6)|Fighter Plane]] and subsequent upgrades +2 pierce and increased blast radius.
With {{BTD6 mk|Targeted Pineapples}}, pineapples are only dropped on the track instead of anywhere.
*Bombs of [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] and [[Flying Fortress (BTD6)|Flying Fortress]] have their pierce increased by +10 or +15 respectively, and +3 blast radius.

The pineapple attack is helpful in situations that require cheap sources of extra pierce, such as for [[Race Event]]s with Ace starts, but its inconsistency makes it unwieldy for cheap lead-popping. The extra pierce on [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]]'s bombs are niche, and it is not recommended for [[Flying Fortress (BTD6)|Flying Fortress]] unless needing the [[Spy Plane (BTD6)|Spy Plane]] crosspath for custom challenges or versus [[Phayze]]. [[Fighter Plane (BTD6)|Fighter Plane]] benefits from extra pierce for the anti-MOAB missiles to destroy greater amounts of blimps per shot, though {{BTD6|Operation: Dart Storm}} and {{BTD6|Sky Shredder}} generally prefer increased dart pierce from {{BTD6|Sharper Darts}} and increased mobility from {{BTD6|Centered Path}}.
The pineapple attack is a cheap source of extra pierce, such as for [[Race Event]]s with Ace starts, but its inconsistency makes it unwieldy for cheap lead-popping. More often, it's bought for [[Spy Plane (BTD6)|Spy Plane]]'s innate camo detection, or supplement a niche to destroying dense groups for [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] or [[Fighter Plane (BTD6)|Fighter Plane]] and above.
