Faster Throwing is the Boomerang Monkey's path 2 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It reduces attack cooldown of the main attack by 25%, resulting in a 33.3% attack speed increase. For MOAB Press and MOAB Domination, their anti-MOAB kylies have 20% reduced attack cooldown (+25% attack speed). However, Faster Rangs does not affect Glaive Lord's orbiting glaives, although it affects Glaive Lord's ricocheting glaives.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Faster Throwing is rarely used on its own, as it falls behind adding another 0-0-0 Boomerang Monkey in terms of efficiency. Thus, Faster Throwing is mainly used as a crosspath, where it becomes a good early-game tower that is affordable at the start of CHIMPS and can be used for maps such as Infernal when crosspathed with Red Hot Rangs.

When crosspathing with Tier 3's and above, it is nearly universally recommended to continue crosspathing to Faster Rangs. Faster Throwing is the optimal crosspath for Kylie Boomerang and MOAB Domination. It is optimal with MOAB Press when the map has more than one entrance per round and M.O.A.R Glaives when it is buffed by Berserker Brew, but not recommended for Glaive Ricochet.
