Tower Path Tier Cost
Ninja Monkey 3 3 $1,800

Flash Bomb is the Ninja Monkey's path 3 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. It replaces every 3rd shuriken attack with a flash bomb. Flash bombs explode on impact, with 40 blast radius, dealing 1 damage, with 40 pierce, and stunning the outer layer of non-MOAB-Class Bloons for 1 second. Flash bombs can damage every Bloon type. With the 0-1-3 crosspath, the flash bomb gains a 15% chance to distract bloons. With the 0-2-3 crosspath, the flash bomb additionally decamos Bloons, creating an additional non-damaging blast with 65 radius and 40 pierce that decamos Bloons.

This section was last updated for: version 4.9

An effective upgrade for support, having high enough pierce to handle large groups of Bloons when supported by buffs and/or anything extra to clean up the remains such as Ice Shards.

For crosspaths, 1-0-3 is preferred if wanting the consistency of the bomb, since Sharp Shurikens does not help the Ninja much. 0-2-3 is a valuable decamo in Ninja duos without other decamos or any buffing sources that allow Ninja to be self-sufficient Camo damage (e.g. Bomb-Ninja), attacking fast enough with enough pierce to handle most Camo rushes in the mid-game.

  •   Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Caltrops: duration decreased ― 70s → 25s
The basic Caltrops change has been made so that they can pack more of a punch, since previously they often got disregarded as being insignificant. Additionally, they were known for contributing towards lag, especially if you had lots of them, so hopefully the slower attack rate will offer a slight improvement in this area.
— Update notes
  •   Caltrops: attack cooldown increased ― 4.4s → 9s
  •   Caltrops: damage increased ― 1 → 3
1-0-3, 2-0-3
  •   Ninja Discipline now reduces Caltrop attack cooldown to 5.6s
These changes buff 0xx Ninja upgrades while leaving 1xx Ninja upgrades unchanged. One major reason for this is so that 023 Ninja can be slightly more dependable.
— Update notes
  •   Caltrop attack: cooldown reduced ― 9s → 8s
  •   Shuriken attack: cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.62s
1-0-3, 2-0-3
  •   Caltrop attack: cooldown slightly increased due to changes to Ninja Discipline ― 5.58s → 5.6s
  • "Fixed the 203 Ninja Monkey not wearing a bandana"
Flash bomb synergizes very well with damage buffs and Ice Shards, making it a powerful early-game upgrade.
— Update notes
  •   Flash bomb attack: pierce reduced ― 75 → 40
