Distraction

Distraction is the 2nd upgrade on path 2 for the Ninja Monkey. It costs $300 (Easy), $350 (Medium), and $380 (Hard). Some bloons struck by the Ninja's weapons will become distracted and move the wrong way temporarily. However, do not count on this to stop bloons from making it through. It is only a nice additional bonus, not something to be relied on. The Summon Whirlwind and Tempest Tornado upgrades for the Monkey Apprentice are much more efficient and reliant at sending bloons back to the start.

Trivia

 * This also has the same effect as the tier 3 upgrade for the path 1 Monkey Apprentice except that it only has a much smaller chance of happening.
 * It is unknown if bloons that are distracted that go back through the exit will take away lives.
