Attacks have a 20% chance of setting Bloons on fire which damages them over time. Purple Bloons are unaffected, as it inflicts Firedamage over time. Despite what the description says, the damage over time only applies every 1.5s instead of every 1s.
Higher rarity versions of the Artifact increase the amount of damage over time inflicted on each tick. It also adds a 0-1-1 / 0-1-2 / 0-0-2 Boomerang Monkey to the party.
This upgrade brings the stalling effects of MOAB Press and MOAB Domination down into the bottom path making the Boomerang Monkeys a much more powerful option in the early game as it now affects smaller Bloons and it keeps the synergy even if the player goes for one of the other paths, as they can also spread the effect consistently using the pierce and seeking of the glaives on the top path or the sheer attack speed of the middle path, but caution is advised as Camo Bloons remains as a problem for Boomerang Monkeys. Artifacts such as Pops Fired or any other that increases the attack speed of the Boomerang Monkeys or towers like Alluring Melody provide great synergy with this Artifact.
