Maim MOAB (BTDB2)

BTDB2

“	Immobilizes MOAB class bloons for a short time.	”
	^{~ BTDB2 description}

Maim MOAB is the 4th upgrade on Path 1 of the Sniper Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart, except stuns all stunnable MOAB-class bloons for shorter. MOABs are stunned for 2.0s, BFBs for 1.0s, DDTs for 0.5s, and ZOMGs for 0.45s. BADs can't be stunned. It deals 30 damage per hit instead of 20, with an additional 15 damage to Ceramics for a total of 45. Camo detection, accessible via the Night Vision Goggles crosspath or by external means, is required to detect DDTs. With Shrapnel Shot, each shrapnel piece deals 8 damage instead of 5 from Deadly Precision, and stun MOAB-class bloons for full duration.

It costs $5,000, and is unlocked with the purchase of Sniper Monkey.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

Maim MOAB's blimp stun makes it powerful as a blimp stunner, covering bases for early MOABs and even stronger blimps later on. The Shrapnel Shot is particularly effective against groups of blimps, as the grouped stun helps clump multiple blimps per shot. Overall, Maim MOAB is not as strong as it is in BTD6, but it still gives more time for other defenses to chip away at blimps.

Tips[]

4-2-0 Maim MOAB is usually the best option, as the grouped stun makes it better at stunning more than one blimp per shot. However, 4-0-2 may be used against singular ZOMGs.

Version History[]

Worth a note that Maim MOAB's previous upgrades are a lot cheaper too.

“	Sniper has remained one of the least used towers in the highest arenas for a long time now. We felt like its ZOMG stun could be more efficient since it pales in comparison to other upgrades such as Heli Pilot’s MOAB Shove.	”

4.1

4-2-0 Maim MOAB shrapnel damage increased from 6 to 8

“	Since it’s hard to get much use out of Sniper in the early game, we’re giving it some simple early game buffs and improvements to crosspathing.	”
