The rest hit by the blast are reduced to 4 B.F.B.s. So 4 can NLL 85. (You're right about 5 not being the answer.)

1 FSC used -> Result: 16 (4 times 4) B.F.B.s

2 FSCs used -> Result: 44 (11 times 4) M.O.A.B.s

3 FSCs: 68 (17 * 4) Ceramics

4: NLL

I guess it works this way. This is the worst case scenario; if the blast effect does more damage they might just blow up the BFBs or MOABs in one shot. Actually, tested on Snake River in Sandbox Mode, 5 FSCs reduces 5 ZOMGs to 3 BFBs. I had all 8 Big Bloon Sabotage upgrades from the Monkey Lab. My theory is that this happens because the ability causes an explosion, doing area damage this means that it will spread damage across a couple of ZOMGs, maybe reducing 2 of them to BFBs. The BFBs then take all of the damage from the FSCs leaving a few BFBs left over. This means that 6 or 7 FSCs would be a wiser option. Of course, one FSC is still fine against a single ZOMG. Maybe you ahould try setting them to Strong so it goes for the strongest stuff?
