Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Heavy Bombs is only recommended for crosspathing with Tier 3+ Bomb Shooters, or a stepping stone to Really Big Bombs, as a standalone lower-tier Heavy Bombs is extremely weak for its cost.

Heavy Bombs is the optimal crosspath for Cluster Bombs due to the +1 damage and +10 pierce Heavy Bombs grants. Recursive Cluster prefers Heavy Bombs in Race Events and versus Elite T1 Bloonarius minions, due to greatly increased pierce, but 0-2-4's extra attack speed is more valuable elsewhere. Heavy Bombs is decent with Tier 3+ middle-path Bomb Shooters for extra pierce but should be skipped unless Primary Expertise is bought. Heavy Bombs is sub-par crosspath for Bomb Blitz as it already has reliable group-popping and has high base damage.

Version 22.0

“

Some low tier Bomb pierce has been shifted further up into the 2xx Heavy Bombs upgrade to effectively nerf 130 Mauler meta in price, but the price of these upgrades and MOAB Damage of T4 Maulers have both been buffed to benefit other variations of bomb better. — Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $800 → $650
  •  Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Now grants +10 pierce
  •  Overall pierce increased ― 28 → 30 (due to pierce changes to previous tiers)

Version 28.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $75 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 44.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $250 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 46.0

“

Bomb Shooter’s base pierce is plenty for the early game but low enough that 1xx crosspath feels too important later, we’re shifting pierce out of crosspath into the base upgrade to alleviate this. — Update notes

”

•  Main explosion: pierce increased ― 30 → 38

Version 47.0

2-0-2

•  Frags: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
