Ninja attacks can strip camo from bloons they hit.

~ BTDB2 description
Counter-Espionage is the 2nd upgrade of Path 2 for the Ninja Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. Like its BTD6 counterpart, it strips camo via decamo. However, the attacks from this Ninja in this game will only need to hit the Camo Bloon to remove camo, rather than requiring damage to do so. Counter-Espionage also costs less too. With Flash Bomb, the flash bombs also gain an extra no-damage decamo blast that hits up to 75 bloons within 65 radius.
Counter-Espionage gives Ninja a decamo option, perfect when combined with towers that don't have natural camo detection such as Boomerang Monkeys. It is the cheapest possible decamo option in the entire game by basic cost alone, but requires crosspaths to make its decamo reliable against a large camo rush.
Tips[]
0-2-0 Ninja is the cheapest decamo possible in this game.
Make use of Camo Prioritization to allow the Ninja to specifically focus on Camo Bloons.
It is potentially viable to use the 0-2-3 Flash Bomb as an alternative decamo to popular options such as Shimmer and Signal Flare.

“
We have increased Ninja’s early-game potential since it stood out as a tower with relatively low DPS in the early game, always depending on another tower to deal the damage or to buff it. [...]
