Maim MOAB is the Sniper Monkey's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the damage of Sniper Monkey's bullets from 20 to 30, and allows them to stun MOAB-Class Bloons except BADs and Boss Bloons, preventing them from moving for a short time. With the Shrapnel Shot crosspath, shrapnel can also stun MOAB-Class bloons for 66% the normal duration.
| Bloon type | Stun duration (seconds) |
|---|---|
| MOAB | 3 |
| BFB | 1.5 |
| ZOMG | 0.75 |
| DDT (if visible) | 0.75 |
| BAD and Boss Bloon | 0 |
Starting on round 150, the duration of the stun is reduced.

Crosspath interactions
| Crosspathed with | Effect |
|---|---|
| Night Vision Goggles | Gains camo detection, deals +2 damage to camo type bloons and allows setting to camo priority target. |
| Shrapnel Shot | Bullets create Shrapnel, each dealing 6 damage with 2 pierce in a spray of 5 shrapnel. Shrapnel stun moabs for 66% of the stun duration. |
| Fast Firing | Reduced attack cooldown from 1.59s to 1.11s. |
| Even Faster Firing | Reduced attack cooldown from 1.11s to 0.779s. |
Strategy
Middle path crosspath is better for group damage, as the shrapnel can hit several bloons and stun moabs, while bottom path crosspath is better suited for single target damage. Middle path also grants camo detection, allowing this tower to hit and stun DDTs.
Maim MOAB is great for stalling rounds and to allow other tower's abilities to go off cooldown, or to generate some extra cash with abilities like Supply drop's ability or Support chinook's ability.
Without external buffs 4-0-2 can permanently stun a single MOAB or BFB, and with a small attack speed buff (such as Jungle Drums) it can also permanently stun a ZOMG.

This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff

To retain value in more Lead-heavy situations including against DDTs, this upgrade that has always allowed Lead popping to main attack will now also grant this to the Shrapnel from any shrapnel shot snipers mixing in this upgrade

- Now changes the damage type of shrapnel to Normal
“
Trading off rate of fire for shrapnel crosspath doesn’t work well for Maim MOAB as it’s all about being a stall tower, so instead of focussing on a damage increase here the shrapnel will now apply the benefits of the sniper’s stun & debuff to turn this crosspath choice into a question of preference in grouping vs single target.

- Shrapnel: can now apply stun
“
Maim MOABs grouped stun potential when crosspathed with Shrapnel feels it is overperforming too much so the shrapnel will now have a reduced stun amount compared to the initial target hit

While there is some level of strategic placement to the 420 crosspath, Maim MOAB has high effectiveness for unlimited range slowing without any necessary spam use so is seeing a small price increase with a larger reduction on the T5 cost.

Sniper Monkey has some very powerful upgrades but also many poor stepping stones. We felt this tower needed a big price shuffle all around, pushing down the cost of many underwhelming upgrades but returning this back into stronger upgrades.

While Maim MOAB is reasonably powerful, Deadly Precision is niche in application so price is shifting up here.
