Extended Range

Extended Range is an attack style characterized by an attack that extends range beyond its given base range. It is part of the damage types family.

Extended Range is represented on Bloons Wiki as, the upgrade icon for Long Range in Bloons TD 6, as this depicts a projectile going over a mountain. This is because the name of the upgrade is a bit like "long range", but that upgrade technically does not fit under Extended Range and is only described as the aforementioned Buccaneer upgrade for aesthetic reasoning.

It is different to Full Map Range as its main attack is limited to its base range and it is rather a separate attack that has the Full Map Range. It is different from Whole Screen because it only affects a certain part of the screen and not the entirety of it.

A pretty famous example of this is Advanced Intel Subs, as they get this attack style very cheaply compared to other options. Sticky Bomb, Master Bomber, but not Buckshot Dartlings, Monkey Ace and Heli Pilot, are examples of Extended Range. Buckshot is not included because while it does attack beyond its "range", its "range" (when the player clicks/taps on the Dartling Gunner) isn't the Dartling's effective range. Thus, the range that the player sees when the dartling is tapped/clicked on it, doesn't represent the Dartlings actual range and should not be counted as Extended Range. In fact, upgrading to Buckshot actually reduces range since it turns the Dartling from having unlimited range (barring Line of Sight) into a Dartling that has limited range, the player just won't see the circle to precisely see its effective range. Ace isn't Extended Range because for the same reasons for Buckshot. Heli pilot isn't considered Extended Range because it requires the actual Heli Pilot to be in range of the Bloons.

Bloon Master Alchemist is considered to be a mix of Extended Range and Target Blimps.

Spike-O-Pult is not considered Extended Range because bloons has to be in the range of the Spike-O-Pult in order for it to shoot.

It is difficult to conclude whether Primary Expertise's Mega Ballista attack is considered Extended Range since it can shoot outside it's influence radius but it is part of main attack.
