Double Shot is the 3rd upgrade of Path 1 for the Ninja Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart except with a less costly upgrade cost, with an equal upgrade cost to its BTDB Mobile counterpart. This upgrade allows the Ninja Monkey to throw 2 shurikens per shot instead of 1. Both shurikens pop 5 bloons per shot each and are simultaneously shot at a rate of every 0.434s at a narrow angular distance from each other. This Ninja has 47 range. If given Caltrops, caltrops deal 5 damage instead of 3.
It costs $650, and is available after unlocking Ninja Monkey.
Doubling the number of shurikens per shot gives the Ninja Monkey with respectable popping power in the early-game, all for a moderate cost.
Tips[]
3-0-1 is usually better for the accurate shots. 3-0-2 can be added to stockpile some extra damage.

“
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. [...]
