Full Metal Jacket (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Line 28:

==Strategy==

Full Metal Jacket is a versatile early-game tower, chipping away higher-tier Bloons and reliably dealing with the Leads of Rounds 28 and 30 on nearly all maps. However, more lead-popping defense is needed for Rounds 37 and 38 on shorter maps, such as upgrading with bottom crosspath, or buying another Full Metal Jacket. The 1-1-0 Sniper Monkey is a very cheap option to pop early [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] Leads, in particular those in [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]]. 1-2-0 Sniper Monkey's shrapnel helps to break apart groups of Bloons, especially multiple Lead Bloons, but is unreliable for precise damage and falls off when not shooting Bloons heads-on. Targeting on Strong is preferred for consistent damage to high-tier Bloons.

For crosspathing purposes, Full Metal Jacket is recommended for all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys and when they cannot be placed so that Bloons mostly travel facing them (in which case shrapnel functions worse). ~~If crosspathing with Full Metal Jacket, it~~ is strongly recommended to crosspath further by purchasing {{BTD6|Large Calibre}}, especially against [[Boss Bloon]]s (except [[Phayze]], which demands middle crosspath). While middle-path Snipers benefit from the extra damage and lead-popping for all shots, Full Metal Jacket is still the sub-par crosspath for them; Full Metal Jacket prevents [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]], and the bottom crosspath's extra attack speed (while retaining 1 damage shrapnels) provide much stronger synergies with all buffs.
