Frag Bombs (BTD6)

Line 19:

'''Frag Bombs''' is the [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It causes the Bomb Shooter's bombs to emit 8 fragments (10 with {{BTD6 mk|Fraggy Frags}}) which deal [[Damage#Sharp|Sharp]] damage to nearby Bloons upon exploding, and do not damage its main target. These fragments deal 1 damage, have 1 pierce, and can be affected by external buffs such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]. Fragments improve in damage, pierce, and quantity with [[Heavy Bombs (BTD6)|Heavy Bombs]] and its subsequent upgrades. Fragments gain bonus MOAB damage with [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]] and its subsequent upgrades and [[MOAB Assassin (BTD6)|MOAB Assassin's]] ability produces frags with this [[Crosspath]].

This upgrade also increases the Bomb Shooter's range by 2 [[Unit|units]]. (A ~3.85% increase compared to [[Extra Range (BTD6)|Extra Range]], or a 35% increase compared to base Bomb Shooter)
