Caltrops is a separate attack from the shuriken that adds additional DPS to the Ninja for a low cost. While the DPS provided is relatively weak, it can serve as an effective earlygame safety net if given time to build up. Because they have only one damage at base and can re-hit targets, Caltrops synergize greatly with pierce and damage buffs, such as those from a [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] or a [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]] army. This makes them very effective on higher tier ninjas, since buffing them is worth it even without Caltrops. Crosspathing a Shinobi Tactics army with Caltrops can serve as effective ~~superceramic~~ control, and deals high single-target damage if buffed further.
