Bloon Crush is the Bomb Shooter's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants the Bomb Shooter's bombs the ability to stun and knockback MOAB-Class Bloons.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Bloon Crush is one of the best towers at stalling, stunning and applying knockback to all types of bloons below BADs, with its stalling power only rivaled by Superstorm and Paragons. Its high pierce makes it able to handle almost every round until 100. However, Bloon Crush's high cost makes it difficult to save up for in CHIMPS, where it is also hurt by its lack of damage against the BAD.

Even though the Frag Bombs crosspath damage is much higher, the lack of attack speed makes the stuns very unreliable, and it also makes some projectiles miss due to the lack of projectile speed that middle crosspath provides. Thus, 5-2-0 is the recommended crosspath.

Overall, this tower can either be placed at the back to catch leaks, or at the front to stall rounds to wait for ability cooldowns or not start next rounds (such as in Boss Bloon Events).

Version 22.0

“

Some low tier Bomb pierce has been shifted further up into the 2xx Heavy Bombs upgrade to effectively nerf 130 Mauler meta in price, but the price of these upgrades and MOAB Damage of T4 Maulers have both been buffed to benefit other variations of bomb better. [...] a buff was made to 502’s Bloon Impact’s frags to alter this underused crosspath.

Version 28.0

Version 31.0

“

The Frags crosspath for top path Bomb Shooter has always been quite a poor choice, trying to compete with attack speed as a benefit for stun utility isn’t going to ever work out so we have instead gone the route of turning the frags crosspath into a DPS/Stun hybrid with a lot of small buffs to frag power.

5-0-2

•  Frags: Pierce increased ― 3 → 20
•  Gains more frags ― 8 → 16

Version 32.3

5-0-2

•  Frags: now deals +12 bonus ceramic damage (bug fix)
  • Note: originally intended to be implemented in v31.0

Version 34.0

•  Pierce increased ― 50 → 60

Version 38.0

“

We wanted to add something unique to Bloon Impact while also improving Really Big Bombs very slightly as a stepping stone into it, so now both of these upgrades will become capable of pushing back Bloons that they hit – even if they are stunned or frozen! This allows Bloon Impact to now catch groups of Bloons in a stun net and slowly push them back the way they came while keeping them stunned.
— Update notes

”

•  Explosions now push back Bloons by 10 units
•  Explosions now push back MOAB-Class by 5 units

Version 40.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 41.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 43.0

“

Bloon Crush does its job locking down all movement in an area, but we feel it could see more damage to reduce the stall time without the balance really changing much.
— Update notes

”

•  Explosion: Damage increased ― 12 → 24

5-0-2

•  Frags: Frag damage increased ― 12 → 24
•  Frags: Frag bonus Ceramic damage reduced ― +12 → +0

Version 44.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $250 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Explosion pierce increased ― 60 → 80

Version 45.0

“

Compared among similarly priced hybrid AoE/supports, Really Big Bombs is a lacking stepping stone so we’re improving its damage and granting much more pushback.
— Update notes

”

•  Pushback increased ― 10 → 20
  • Note: Bloon Crush pushback on MOAB-Class remains the same

Version 47.0

“

Frag damage is being greatly improved all the way up as there’s little reason to trade stun uptime for improved damage.

•  Overall cost reduced by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

5-0-2

•  Frags: Damage increased ― 24 → 36
