Ultra-Juggernaut is the Dart Monkey's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It hurls ultra-juggernauts that deal more damage (2 to 5), Fortified damage (+2 to +5), Ceramic damage (+3 to +8), Lead damage (+20), and pierce (60 to 210). Once hitting a wall, losing 50% of its pierce, or reaching the end of its pierce or lifespan, the ultra-juggernaut projectile splits into 6 juggernaut balls around 360° (60° per juggernaut). The juggernauts each have equal statistics to the normal Juggernaut, but with 50 pierce and no knockback.

All its projectiles also deal +2 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons with the Force vs Force Force vs Force Monkey Knowledge.

Mechanics

When the main projectile has 50% of its pierce consumed, it spawns 6 mini-juggernaut balls (with the same stats as Juggernaut's base projectile) with an angle of 60° between them (making it 360°). Each ball can bounce once. This same effect happens again when 100% of its pierce is consumed, but instead of the first ball being aligned vertically, all balls will have a rotation of 30° (see screenshots). If the main projectile hits a wall, it explodes into 6/12 mini-juggernaut balls depending on the pierce remaining (can be interpreted as consuming its remaining pierce, with the effect already described).

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Ultra-Juggernaut is an excellent option for maps with many of obstacles, such as Cornfield, Hedge, and Encrypted, being able to rival other Tier 5s at a much cheaper price. Its high Ceramic damage allows it to destroy hordes of Ceramic Bloons and lower tier MOAB-Class Bloons on these maps. On open maps, such as Cubism, Monkey Meadow, and Haunted, it is very weak due to its balls not bouncing frequently, and falls off completely starting on Round 81 due to Super Ceramics. Ultra-Juggernaut is also an excellent option for Race Events, due to its high pierce that allows for large round sends. Its best crosspath is 5-2-0, as Camo detection can be obtained with Radar Scanner or de-camo options like Submerge and Support, and the 5-0-2's extra range, knockback, and projectile lifespan are rarely necessary.

  • Change "Juggernaut bounces improved" (bug fix)
  • Buff Base damage increased ― 3 → 4
  • Buff Damage to Ceramics increased ― +5 → +8
  • Buff Placing any Dart Monkey Insta Monkey no longer consumes all free Dart Monkeys (bug fix)
  • Buff Projectiles can now re-hit Bloons after bouncing off a blocker
  • Buff Main projectile: damage increased ― 4 → 5 (undocumented)
To add a little more synergetic crosspath use for the Juggernaut 402 crosspath, xx2 will now also grant bonus projectile lifespan, this applies to any use of that crosspath though we feel it will in particular pair nicely with the ricocheting projectiles.
— Update notes
  • Buff Juggernaut gains a slight Bloon knockback causing bloons to move backwards at 3x speed for 0.1s
While not appreciated by all because of a lack of map situations it applies well in, we enjoy the quite specific niche that Juggernaut fills. However, we wanted to make some minor tweaks allowing it to apply itself better against fortified ceramics & reducing the exceptionally high ultra-juggernaut secondary balls pierce in favour of damage that can be more reliably used up.
— Update notes
  • Buff Main projectile: now deals +5 damage to Fortified
  • Buff Mini projectile: damage increased ― 1 → 2
  • Buff Mini projectile: now deals +2 damage to Fortified
  • Nerf Mini projectile: pierce reduced ― 100 → 50
  • Buff Resolved niche cases in which Juggernaut’s projectiles would not properly be able to hit targets again after rebounds (bug fix)
As an already highly niche tower, adding a little more niche than 'just ceramics' by helping Ultra-Juggernaut with a small amount of endgame DDT AoE.
— Update notes
  • Buff Mini projectile: ceramic damage bonus increased ― +2 → +3
  • Buff Main projectile: now deals +20 damage to Lead
  • Nerf No longer bounce back from the top of the stairs aiming down on Midnight Mansion (bug fix)
While we have been working to increase this niche with many new maps, Juggernaut’s functions sub-optimally for the majority of current maps in the game as the knockback doesn’t scale well without good rebound opportunities; to help with this we’re increasing their knockback force slightly with even more emphasis on the less-favored crosspath.
— Update notes
  • Buff Knockback duration increased ― 0.1s → 0.15s
Spike-o-pult’s piercing power in the extreme conditions is too cost effective compared to the Juggernaut so we’re tweaking these slightly to keep Juggernaut as a proper upgrade in Races.
— Update notes
  • Buff Main projectile pierce increased ― 200 → 210
    • Note: Mini-projectiles are unchanged
Juggernaut attacks too slow to fully utilize its knockback, so we’re doubling the knockback to regular Bloons with a smaller increase also to Ceramics.
— Update notes
  • Buff Light knockback increased ― 3× → 6×
    • Note: x-x-2 light knockback increased from 4.5x to 9x
  • Buff Heavy knockback increased ― 1.5× → 2×
    • Note: x-x-2 heavy knockback increased from 2.25x to 3x
5-0-2
  • Buff No longer has less knockback than the previous tier (bug fix)
  • Buff Spiked balls can now bounce from map borders (undocumented)
    • Note: 5-X-X Ultra-Juggernaut projectiles also can bounce from map borders now but the split behavior takes priority. Paragon unchanged
Juggernaut knockback is excessive against regular light Bloon targets and will be reduced.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Knockback for light Bloons decreased ― -5× → -3×
5-0-2
  • Nerf Knockback for light Bloons decreased ― -5× → -3×
  • Nerf Knockback for light Bloons decreased ― -8× → -5×
