Strategy
editThis section was last updated for: version 52.2
Spy Plane offers much potential for high-skill early Camo popping, particularly against early stages of Phayze on Boss Rush. As a crosspath, it is largely reserved for situations needing inherent Camo detection (such as Contested Territory Least Tiers or when fighting Phayze).

| “ | 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. — Update notes |
” |
- Explosion: Base pierce decreased ― 40 → 20
- Note: Remains 40 for Ground Zero and Tsar Bomba
- 0-2-1, 0-2-2, 0-2-3, 0-2-4, 0-2-5
- Pineapple/bomb explosions now gain +12 pierce from Sharper Darts
| “ | 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. — Update notes |
” |
- Dart: Projectile size increased ― 2 → 3
- Base Monkey Ace attack cooldown reduced ― 2.1s → 1.68s
- Exploding Pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 3s → 2s
- 0-2-1, 0-2-2, 0-2-3, 0-2-4, 0-2-5
- Exploding Pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 3s → 2s
- 1-2-0, 2-2-0, 3-2-0, 4-2-0, 5-2-0
- Exploding Pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 1.6s → 1.2s
| “ | Monkey Ace has had an overall rework to a lot of different upgrades in order to highlight the x1x Exploding Pineapples upgrade as a buff to all explosives [...] — Update notes |
” |
- 3-2-0, 4-2-0, 5-2-0
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +4.5 units to the radius of the missile attack's explosion ― 30 → 34.5
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +2 pierce to the missile attack's explosion
- 0-2-4
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +15 pierce to the main attack's bombs
- Overall pierce reduced ― 60 → 45 (due to changes to the projectile's base pierce)
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +3 units to the radius of the main attack's bombs ― 20 → 23
| “ | More of a straight quality of life, Ace has gained a new special toggle button to allow it to turn back and fly in reverse on any selected flight pattern. — Update notes |
” |
- Reverse flight pattern added
| “ | Spy Plane is always a lesser crosspath aside from specific challenges that call for camo detection. It has a similar vibe to Night Vision sniper so we have given it a similar buff. — Update notes |
” |
- Spy Plane grants attacks +1 bonus damage to camos
| “ | Exploding pineapples gained a larger rate bonus from crosspathing than the main attack did to make up for its base rate being so poor, so we’re fixing that poor base rate while keeping the crosspath bonus the same. — Update notes |
” |
- Exploding Pineapple: reload rate reduced ― 2s → 1.7s
- Note: Bomber Ace and above are unchanged (1.7s)
- 1-2-0, 2-2-0, 3-2-0, 4-2-0, 5-2-0
- Pineapple reload rate reduced ― 1.2s → 1.275s
- Note: Rapid Fire's cooldown modifier changed from 0.6× to 0.75×
| “ | Minor catchup changes to some parts have fallen out of line slightly due to balance changes for other parts of the Ace. — Update notes |
” |
- Exploding pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 1.7s → 1.6s
- Note: Rapid Fire crosspath attack cooldown is reduced from 1.275s to 1.2s
| “ | As Spy Plane crosspath doesn’t see much love we’ve gone all-in on the Camo crosspath making it a double damage bonus, which is especially good news for Ground Zero vs. Fortified DDTs. — Update notes |
” |
- Bonus damage to Camo Bloons increased for all attacks ― +1 → ×2
- 3-2-0, 4-2-0, 5-2-0
- Bonus damage to Camo Bloons increased for all attacks, except Anti-MOAB missiles ― +1 → ×2

” |
- Exploding Pineapples: Explosion radius increased ― 25 units → 35 units
