Double Shot is the Ninja Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It allows the Ninja Monkey to throw two shurikens at a time instead of one, spread across an 18° angle from the centre. Unlike previous upgrades, shurikens have a small amount of angular deviation.

Double Shot is a decent T3 that increases Ninja's early-game carry for low cost, as its double shurikens double its potential for cleanup for less cost than buying another Ninja. While decent on most maps, Double Shot stands out as an early-game support on #Ouch CHIMPS to cover each lane.

Seeking Shuriken is the optimal crosspath for Double Shot for most cases, with Caltrops being an optional bonus. Middle crosspaths are okay for extra blowback and decamo, though Shinobi spam or other towers cover that role more efficiently.

Version 11.0

•  "[S]hould no longer be able to occasionally shoot with an infinite range in specific setups" (bug fix)

Version 28.0

“

As ninja is the ‘Camo Specialist’ and has been since inception, it is the only tower that will unlock Camo Prioritization on the base tower. — Update notes

”

•  Camo Prioritization filter added

Version 38.0

“

We’re mindful that this has been in place since launch, but still think this change could lead to more balanced crosspath Ninja play for casual and for apex players. Ninja's 1xx feels like it does too much, granting both range and attack speed to all crosspaths, so these benefits are now being split apart. — Update notes

”

•  Range decreased ― 47 units → 40 units
  •  Seeking Shuriken crosspath is unchanged

Version 43.0

“

While a great early game option, Ninja generally struggles with dominant crosspathing choices and also has relatively poor base tower value. Without going into every single change, T3s onward remain relatively unchanged with a lot of prices below T3 being moved around from less favorable crosspaths into better/higher tier upgrades. — Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $850 → $900
  •  Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

3-0-2

•  Caltrops: Attack cooldown increased ― 2.728s → 2.73s

Version 47.0

3-2-0

•  Now deals +2 damage to Camo Bloons (undocumented)
  • Note: The effect of Counter-Espionage to remove camo gets priority over this bonus, so it doesn't get applied to regular Bloons, however it will work against Phayze while Radar Jam is active.
