Bomber Ace is the Monkey Ace's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It replaces each of Monkey Ace's pineapples with bombing runs. Bombing runs each drop 4 bombs in quick succession, and only occur when Monkey Ace is over a track. Bombs explode 2 seconds after being dropped, deal 3 damage, and have 20 pierce and 35 radius. Bombs inherit Spy Plane's double Camo damage. Bombs cannot damage Black Bloons. The bombing run has a cooldown of 1.6 seconds.
When given Sharper Darts, bomb explosions gain +12 pierce. Rapid Fire increases attack speed of the bombing run by 33.33% (attack cooldown decreased to 1.2 seconds).

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Btw does it still stand out in race events |
This section was last updated for: version 52.2
Bomber Ace reliably pops groups and becomes more reliable against Leads. However, like most Aces, Bomber Ace requires micromanagement to manage timing of its bombs. Its main use case is Race Events and CT Time Attack, allowing it to maximize pierce, though its DPS is still inconsistent on its own and quite map-dependent. The extra Camo damage from Spy Plane improves its reliability at demolishing Camo Ceramics.
1-3-0 is the recommended crosspath, though 2-3-0's extra darts improves its reliability against Black Bloons. 0-3-1, despite its much greater pierce, usually outputs less DPS even in Race Event scenarios due to the bombs only landing on available track instead of spontaneously, and losing one bombing run per Ace flight cycle isn't worth it on most track layouts.

| “ | While Pineapples are never the star of the show, the amount of pierce they have is completely unnecessary for their usage window and has only led to balance problems for Bombing Run, specifically in races. This high amount of pierce has been more evenly spread through higher tiers & crosspath. — Update notes |

- 0-3-1, 0-3-2
- Bomb salvo: Pierce decreased ― 40 → 32

| “ | Spy Plane is always a lesser crosspath aside from specific challenges that call for camo detection. It has a similar vibe to Night Vision sniper so we have given it a similar buff. — Update notes |
” |
- Spy Plane grants attacks +1 bonus damage to camos
- 1-3-0, 2-3-0
- Bombs reload rate reduced ― 1.02s → 1.275s (undocumented)

” |
- Bonus damage to Camo Bloons increased for all attacks ― +1 → ×2
