Frag Bombs

"Fragments fly out and pop even more bloons!"

- BTD3 Description

Frag Bombs is an upgrade for the Bomb Tower. When a bomb or missile hits a bloon, it explodes, sending out fragments which can pop even more bloons, as well as Black and Zebra Bloons. The Frag Bomb is a Premium Upgrade in Bloons Tower Defense 4. It made its debut in Bloons Tower Defense 3.

Bloons TD 3
Frag Bombs is a new upgrade which allows bombs to send out sharp fragments after they hit a Bloon. Explosions cannot pop Black Bloons, but fragments can. Each fragment can pop 1 Bloon.

Bloons TD 4
The Frag Bomb upgrade enables Bomb Towers to damage Black Bloons and Zebra Bloons indirectly (direct explosions will not affect it; the fragments that fly out will).

The upgrade can be purchased when you create your Ninjakiwi account. Unlike other items in the shop, frag bombs are free (on Kongregate they cost 5 Kreds instead). This upgrade is helpful when you have mobs of bloons coming at you.

Bloons TD 5
Similarly to BTD3, Frag Bombs is the second upgrade of the first path in BTD5. It still damages bloons in the same way, as well as increase the range of the Bomb Tower slightly. However, getting the next upgrade, cluster bombs, gets rid of the ability to pop blacks and zebras.

Trivia

 * There are 8 frags with each bomb.
 * The fragments can pop black and zebra bloons, but not lead. The bombs can pop lead bloons but not black and zebra.
 * Frag Bombs can pop 2 layers of bloon. In BTD5 it can pop 4-5 layers of bloon by direct hit.
 * Frag Bombs are slightly better than Cluster Bombs without Monkey Intelligence Bureau, Bloon Impact or Bombing Range level 3.
 * Each frag can only pop one bloon at a time.
 * With Monkey Fort each frag will pierce 2 bloons!
 * Frags are more likely to hit Regen Bloons, as they are larger then most Bloons. Also, frags will appear directly over a Regen Bloon, causing them to pop extra layers, due to it's large size.
