Bionic Boomerang is the Boomerang Monkey's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It decreases attack cooldown by ~60.3% (number made so it attacks 5× as fast as a Base Boomerang Monkey), resulting in an attack speed increase of +152% attack speed over the previous upgrade. It also deals +2 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons. This upgrade also very slightly elevates the tower's line of sight.

Strategy

Bionic Boomerang is a decent tower for the latter part of early-game and early mid-game, working well on maps with good loops but falling short on most Expert maps due to the loops lacking and line-of-sight blockers often interfering with it. It also deals good MOAB-Class damage for its cost, but is not enough to break down blimps on its own in most cases. 2-3-0 is the optimal crosspath, especially with Recurring 'Rangs Recurring 'Rangs (which allows 2-3-0 to maximize its pierce), due to Bionic Boomerang suffering from pierce-capping otherwise.

  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $130 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Now deals +1 damage to MOAB-Class
  • Buff Now has "Switch Hands" targeting option by default
Bionic Boomerang’s base attack rate has been improved to compensate for recent reworking of the 2xx Glaives Crosspath
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.28s → 0.238s (attack speed increased by 17.65%)
    • Note: Stacks with Turbo Charge's attack cooldown buff
While the higher tiers are quite good, Bionic Boomerang does not feel like a strong stepping ston,[sic] and 052 is still mostly considered an inferior crosspath due to base tower damage already being high, so Bionic’s ability increase to damage has been increased further.
— Update notes
  • Buff Damage to MOAB-class increased ― +1 → +2
Bionic Boomerang’s price has been lowered to make this upgrade slightly more approachable, but Turbo Charge’s price increased as we’re ok with the higher tiers on this path.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,600 → $1,450
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $10 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
While the higher tier upgrades work well, Bionic Boomerang is often not as effective as expected for this price range.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,450 → $1,250
Bionic Boomerang is getting a rebalance improving baseline power outside of ability activation while maintaining roughly the same power when ability is activated.
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown decreased ― 0.238s → 0.15s
  • Nerf Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons reduced ― +2 → +1
