Breaking Ballistic

"Ballistic Missiles do more damage to Ceramic Bloons."

- In-game description

Breaking Ballistic is an upgrade in the Military Monkey Knowledge tree introduced in the initial release of Bloons TD 6. Once Breaking Ballistic is activated, all Monkey Subs with the Ballistic Missile upgrade and above will deal +1 extra damage to Ceramic Bloons. To unlock Breaking Ballistic, the player must have 4 Knowledge Points invested into the Military Monkey Knowledge tree, and the 'Naval Upgrades' Monkey Knowledge unlocked.

Summary
Ballistic Missile is already pretty decent with its MOAB and Ceramic damage, with Breaking Ballistic making Ballistic Missile more reliable against Ceramics in the earlier rounds once they appear. They can also prove to be better at destroying Ceramics spawned from MOABs in the rounds before Super Ceramics. This Monkey Knowledge point also applies to Pre-Emptive Strike, not as useful however, due to its already high Ceramic damage.

Tips

 * On the Military tree, Quad Burst is after Breaking Ballistic, another good Monkey Knowledge point.

Trivia

 * The Breaking Ballistic icon depicts a Ballistic Missile shattering part of a Ceramic Bloon, however there is no sign of a Rainbow Bloon or a Bloon at all underneath the Ceramic layer.
 * Furthermore, it shows a star circling around the Bloon as if it has been stunned, but the Ballistic Missile never stuns Ceramics.
