Neva-Miss Targeting is the Monkey Ace's path 3 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. With this upgrade, the Monkey Ace's darts will seek Bloons out, targeting them over any distance. It also increases the darts' projectile speed and lifespan from 1.4 seconds to ~3.3333 seconds, though in practice it's actually 1 second, as its lifespan switches to its homing lifespan.
Mechanics
editNeva-Miss Targeting's main attack is a radial volley of 8 darts (12 with 2-0-3) that seek out Bloons and deal sharp-type damage. Darts are spread 45° from each other (30° with 2-0-3). Unlike most seeking projectiles, Neva-Miss darts will decelerate if the target is not within a 20° cone of their current trajectory and accelerate if the target is within a 5° cone, allowing them to make much tighter turns in the air to avoid missing their targets.

For its cost, Neva-Miss Targeting is not cost-efficient for an upgrade that simply adds homing, despite its long range and many projectiles per shot, requiring external buffs such as Berserker Brew to be worth considering. Despite its name, its darts are still prone to missing and/or wasting themselves chasing bloons, particularly if too far away, and it's not recommended to position this Ace directly on top of a crowd of Bloons. When given external buffs, Neva-Miss stands out in Deflation and as a fairly effective early-to-midgame carry on CHIMPS.
2-0-3 is the preferred crosspath, which maximizes the number of darts per second. 0-2-3 only offers innate camo detection, but even with increased Camo damage it still struggles to Fortified Camo Ceramic rounds such as 67 and 74 without external buffs, and already has poor stats.

While Pineapples are never the star of the show, the amount of pierce they have is completely unnecessary for their usage window and has only led to balance problems for Bombing Run, specifically in races. This high amount of pierce has been more evenly spread through higher tiers & crosspath.

Monkey Ace was never intended to be a great starting tower and instead come into power at mid- and high-tier upgrades, but since the base tower feels lacking to new players (and some of us old timers) we decided to rework low tier power into the base tower.

Upgrade cost increased ― $2,200 → $2,800
- Resolved an issue where reversing flight path before purchasing Centered Path would prevent the centered path target from flying in the correct direction (bug fix)
- Note: nerf to ace micro

The homing for Neva-miss darts can cause darts to expire just before they are able to loop around and hit their target, which is unsatisfying to see – we like the pattern this attacks with though so allowing a little extra distance before expiration should mostly solve this.

[...] Neva-Miss darts max speed and homing acceleration is being increased so the projectiles are less likely to expire before meeting their target unless placement is terrible.
