"Piercing" → "Stab"? Possibly considering changing the name of "Piercing" to "Stab" to avoid confusion with the concept of pierce |
| “ | Tridents can pop more bloons. | ” |
| ~ In-game descripion |
Sharper Prongs is the first upgrade of Path 2 for the Mermonkey in Bloons TD 6. Pierce of each of the trident's area-of-effect "stab" increases from 3 to 6, but the number of trident "stab" remain the same as 2.
This upgrade costs $255 on Easy, $300 on Medium, $325 on Hard, and $360 on Impoppable.
Description[]
Overview[]
Sharper Prongs
Sharper Prongs adds a white "crown" around the Mermonkey's head. The spikes of the Mermonkey's staff are bigger and spikier. As with the name of the description, the prongs of the tridents become sharper, more specifically improving pierce of each of the "stab" from each act of pronging the bloons.
Targeting Priorities[]
Sharper Prongs targets bloons using the standard targeting priorities. Its trident attack shoots straight movement projectiles.
- First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range.
- Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range.
- Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range.
- Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range.
Adding Echosense Precision grants camo detection to the Mermonkey, but does not add the Camo Prioritization targeting option.

Summary[]
Extra pierce for tridents improves the capability for Mermonkey to pop more bloons per shot. Some attacks specifically depend on the tridents to maximize the strength of the Mermonkey, and the extra pierce allows the Mermonkey to handle more bloons at once.
