Line 17:

Starting in ''Bloons TD 5'', some projectiles have a limit to the amount of pierce they can gain from external pierce modifiers. This is usually done for projectiles that spawn other projectiles on contact with the first Bloon (such as bombs that spawn explosions), and is usually equal to the projectile's unmodified pierce.

In some cases, ~~an attack may benefit from~~ pierce ~~buffs more than once by inheriting them throughout~~ all ~~its~~ projectiles~~, and limiting pierce for either the~~ attack ~~or the projectile(s) is done for balance reasons~~. For example, in ''BTD6'', [[Bouncing Bullet (BTD6)|Bouncing Bullet]]'s shrapnel from the main shot and each bounce can benefit from pierce buffs, but not the bullet itself. In ''BTD6'' and ''Battles 2'', the shards from [[Ice Shards]] have a pierce limit, but not for the freeze ~~attack~~ that would create the shards.

In some cases, for balance reasons, pierce limits are applied to certain or all projectiles from an attack that produces additional attacks. For example, in ''BTD6'', [[Bouncing Bullet (BTD6)|Bouncing Bullet]]'s shrapnel from the main shot and each bounce can benefit from pierce buffs, but not the bullet itself. In ''BTD6'' and ''Battles 2'', the shards from [[Ice Shards]] have a pierce limit, but not for the freeze wave that would create the shards.

In the mobile versions of ''[[Bloons TD 5 (mobile)|Bloons TD 5]]'' and ''[[Bloons Monkey City (mobile)|Bloons Monkey City]]'', most projectiles that spawn other projectiles do not have pierce caps, causing them to spawn projectiles more than once when given pierce buffs. For example, [[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD5)|Hydra Rocket Pods]]'s missiles can spawn multiple explosions, and [[Glaive Ricochet (BTD5)|Glaive Ricochet]]'s glaives can spawn multiple ricocheting glaives.
