Pincushion Flyby is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. It grants Monkey Aceprojectiles a Pin-like effect that stuns small Bloons they pop for 1s, lasting for 10 layers, and grants a pierce buff that increases with the rarity of the Artifact. Darts are unable to pin Lead Bloons and Ceramic Bloons until the outer layer is popped. It also adds a 0-1-1 / 0-1-2 / 0-0-2 Monkey Ace to the party.
The Artifact is useful for cleanup in the early game, but shouldn't be relied on as a way to stalling as the radial pattern of the darts plus the flight pattern of the Ace makes it difficult to hit Bloons reliably without extensive micro, at least until Operation: Dart Storm or Neva-Miss Targeting can be used, however, at this point, its utility drops fast when Ceramic and MOAB-Class Bloons start appearing. The extra pierce can be useful for Neva-Miss Targeting and the dart attacks of Spectre in particular, however the presence of Super Ceramic Bloons in later rounds may reduce the necessity for pierce. Since it must pop a Bloon (not simply hit a Bloon), regardless of damage type, it cannot be used to stun Bloons with One Monkey Army active.
