Additionally, it adds an extra pierce buff for the Sub's pulse attacks on the top path:

• Submerge and Support's sonar pulse: +20% pierce (90 pierce up from 75)
• Bloontonium Reactor's radioactive pulse: +5 pierce (35 pierce up from 30)
• Energizer's radioactive pulse: +200 pierce (1,200 pierce up from 1,000)

Strategy

The Barbed Darts upgrade on the Monkey Sub is important due to its efficient power, increasing the Sub's pierce by more than double for less than the base price. When using a Monkey Sub in the first few rounds, it is generally best to purchase the Barbed Darts upgrade before the identically priced Twin Guns upgrade since Barbed Darts pops more Bloons per second and can use its pierce effectively against the dense eco Bloons. Although, it is worse at single-target damage and catching leaks on its own since it attacks much less quickly. The Barbed Darts and Twin Guns upgrades are especially strong together, increasing the Monkey Sub's total power by more than 4× for less than 3× its base cost.

Barbed Darts is pitiful as a crosspath for the top path Monkey Sub. The pierce on the sonar pulse and the Energizer's radioactive pulse is very high already, and the +5 pierce on the radioactive pulse is weak compared to the attack rate increase of the bottom path and the +15 pierce and lead Bloon popping power of Heat-Tipped Darts. For the bottom path of Monkey Sub, however, the heavily increased pierce and ability to gain lead and frozen Bloon popping power is preferred in most cases.

With Ocean Obyn, Barbed Darts is especially powerful since his in-range pierce buff is percentage-based, assuring the Monkey Sub consistently has +1 pierce or more on its dart attacks.
