Barbed Darts is the Monkey Sub's path 2 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the pierce of the Monkey Sub's projectiles from 2 to 5. Crosspathing with Airburst Darts causes it to increase the pierce of the mini-darts by 3 instead of the main dart. Crosspathing with Submerge and Support and above increases the pierce of its decamo pulses by 50, and for Bloontonium Reactor and above, it also increases the pierce of the damaging element of the pulses by 50.

  • Buff Barbed Darts now increases the pierce of the damage pulse by 20%
4-1-0
  • Nerf Damage pulse: base pierce reduced ― 84 → 70
    • Note: Pierce bonus increased from +14 to +20
The logic on a Lead crosspath not being required to give Lead popping to an attack based on something weak against Lead has never sat right, so we’re finally sorting that out and making sub a little angrier.
— Update notes
Similar types of camo reveal like Shimmer/Signal Flare/Embrittlement are all pierce limited, but the Submerge sub has practically infinite pierce while also being extremely cheap with a very fast rate and a T4 that is far better at camo removal than those other towers can reach. Giving this upgrade a more reasonable pierce value brings these more in line and allows for the pierce crosspath to have some potential meaning.

3-1-0, 4-1-0
  • Nerf Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 120
5-1-0
  • Nerf Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 1020
We have come back a number of times to add, fix & balance sub crosspathing, over years of learning though it currently feels messy and we’d like simplification. Heat-Tipped Darts doesn’t increase base sub pierce, so it feels silly to require it for maximum pierce on Submerged subs. Likewise Airburst shouldn’t be required to maximize the rate of submerged subs, instead we’d rather give people an easier way to work with the Airburst attack if they desire to upgrade to it so ‘Submerge’ is moving to a new Tower Special rather than target priority.
