~ Mobile/PC version description
Boss Blast is a Special Item in Bloons Monkey City. It is a Boss Ability that deals 450 damage to the Boss Bloon and pushes it backwards. Like other Boss Abilities, Boss Blast costs 30. It has a cooldown of 40 seconds.
Boss Blast deals 450 damage to the Boss Bloon, then forces it to move in reverse with a movement speed equivalent to approximately 1.286x the speed of a Red Bloon for one second (even if it has been frozen with Boss Chill), sending it a considerable distance backwards. Despite dealing less than a third of the damage of Boss Bane, it is still capable of instantly destroying Dreadbloon at lower levels.
The description in the Flash version incorrectly states that it deals 500 damage, while the description in the mobile and PC versions correctly states that it deals 450 damage.
Strategies[]
Boss Blast can be used to force the Boss Bloon to return to a more favorable position on the track. It works especially well if the boss has moved past a section covered by MOAB-SHREDR Spikes and Spike Storm, as it will force the boss to move though it again.
Since it deals a small amount of damage, it can also be used near the start of the battle to generate a little extra cash.
Like all other Boss Abilities, the high Bloonstone cost means it should generally only be used at higher levels to reduce the number of attempts needed.

Trivia[]
In Bloons TD 6, Vortex has a similar mechanic to Boss Blast, where it pushes itself backwards after enough health is depleted.
