MOAB Shove is the Heli Pilot's path 3 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants Heli Pilot a new shove attack, which can slow or reverse the movement of MOAB-Class Bloons. This attack deals no damage, and has 1 pierce which cannot be buffed.

This upgrade also grants Heli Pilot a new missile attack. This attack deals 1 damage with +2 Ceramic damage, +2 MOAB-Class damage, 10 pierce, and a 3 second attack cooldown. Missiles have infinite range unlike Heli Pilot's other attacks. These missiles cannot damage Black Bloons.

Mechanics

The shove attack slows or reverses MOAB-Class Bloons depending on their type, to a given percentage of their normal speed. BADs and Boss Bloons are never affected by shove. Bigger Jets reduces the speed of shoved Bloons by -11 percentage points.

Bloon Type Speed while shoved Speed while shoved, with Bigger Jets
MOAB -33% -44%
BFB 0% -11%
DDT and ZOMG 33% 22%

A negative speed means the Bloon moves backwards at that speed.

The shove attack has a range of 42 units and targets the closest available Bloon to the Heli Pilot. The same Bloon is not shoved more by multiple MOAB Shove towers.

  • "MOAB Shove fixed" (bug fix)
  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions
  • Neutral After changing targeting off of Lock in Place or Patrol Points, changing back returns the target(s) to how it was previously
  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping. Due to overall comparisons between Downdraft’s blowback & MOAB Shove we have also slashed MOAB Shove’s price by 30% to give it & Comanche more of a kickstart
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $5,000 → $3,500
  • Nerf Movement speed reduced ― 45 → 40
A little more buffing of underused crosspath
— Update notes
0-1-3, 0-2-3
  • Buff Bigger Jets now allows MOAB Shove to push back faster
    • MOAB speed: -0.33 → -0.44
    • BFB speed: 0 → -0.11
    • ZOMG/DDT speed: 0.33 → 0.22
MOAB Shove has had a missile attack similar to xx4’s mini comanches added to provide this path something extra for when the mini comanche are not active.
— Update notes
  • Neutral Missile attack added
Downdraft has more general use throughout the game and scales better than the more expensive MOAB Shove upgrade though they both see use, so the price of these upgrades has been swapped around. Faster Darts xx1 upgrade will now increase the attack distance of Heli Dart attacks in order to assist with cluttering issues where large numbers of Helis will push each other away from nearby targets.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,500 → $3,000
  • Buff Faster Darts now increases attack distance of dart attacks by +30%
  • Buff Heli 'patrol point' markers now visually update immediately after setting new points (bug fix)
  • Buff Shove AoE: No longer ignores the children of the target it is shoving (bug fix)
0-1-3
  • Buff "Should again correctly increase pushback amount" (bug fix)
As MOAB Shove introduced a supportive mechanic at T3 but never expanded on this again we want to start playing around with this some more, it’s quite strong for a T3 so the slow amount was reduced but we’ve made the T4 now better than the T3 was before.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Shove: BFB speed while being shoved is higher ― 0× → 0.1×
    • Note: Also affects 0-1-3 crosspath ― 0.1× → -0.01×. Shoving speed for Comanche Defense and above remains the same
  • Nerf Shove: MOAB speed while being shoved is higher ― -0.33× → -0.3×
    • Note: Also affects 0-1-X crosspath ― -0.44× → 0.41×.
Some price is moving out from base Heli into the T3s to make progression up through low heli tiers easier, however Downdraft is retaining the current price as a small buff.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $3,000 → $3,100
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
As its utility is impressive throughout the entire game for the relatively low cost MOAB Shove’s price is increasing
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $3,100 → $3,400
MOAB Shove’s stalling potential was far too strong for how early and cheaply it becomes available, so we’re dialing back the ZOMG slow amount to keep its late-game impact more balanced.
— Update notes
  • Buff Homing missile: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
    • Note: X-X-4 Comanche Defense unchanged (3)
  • Nerf MOAB Shove: Multiplier for ZOMGs/DDTs increased ― ×0.33 → ×0.61
    • Note: This means ZOMGs/DDTs move less slow while being shoved. X-X-4 Comanche Defense multiplier is 0.2
0-1-3, 0-2-3
  • Nerf MOAB Shove: Multiplier for ZOMGs/DDTs increased ― ×0.22 → ×0.5
MOAB Shove heli’s still stall ZOMGs incredibly efficiently for such a cheap tower, so we are furthering the previous nerf to ZOMG slow amount, still leaving Comanche Defense unchanged
— Update notes
  • Nerf MOAB Shove: Speed multiplier for BFBs increased ― 0.1× → 0.11×
  • Nerf MOAB Shove: Speed multiplier for ZOMGs and DDTs increased ― 0.61× → 0.75×
    • Note: X-X-4 Comanche Defense unchanged (0× and 0.2× respectively). The previous value listed for the ZOMG multiplier in the patch notes has the Bigger Jets upgrades applied.
0-1-3
  • Nerf MOAB Shove: Speed multiplier for BFBs increased ― −0.01× → 0×
  • Nerf MOAB Shove: Speed multiplier for ZOMGs and DDTs increased ― 0.5× → 0.64×
    • Note: 0-1-4 Comanche Defense unchanged (−0.11× and 0.09× respectively).
MOAB Shove’s flexible stalling still stands out as particularly powerful through the whole game, we still want to take our time slowly nerfing this but to reduce single-target lockout we’re increasing the missile damage.
— Update notes
  • Neutral Missile attack: Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― +2 → +5
