Can Crossbow Monkey Pop Lead?
In Bloons TD 6, the Crossbow Monkey is a powerful and versatile defender that can pop a variety of bloon types, including Lead Bloons. In this article, we will explore the capabilities and limitations of the Crossbow Monkey when it comes to popping Lead Bloons.
Upgrading to Crossbow Master
One of the key upgrades for the Crossbow Monkey is the ability to pop any bloon type, including Lead. This upgrade, known as Crossbow Master, requires a significant amount of game currency and can be completed on Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impoppable difficulties. With the Crossbow Master upgrade, the Crossbow Monkey’s darts will pop any bloon type, including Lead Bloons.
Here is a breakdown of the cost of the Crossbow Master upgrade on each difficulty level:
| Difficulty Level | Cost |
|---|---|
| Easy | $18,275 |
| Medium | $21,500 |
| Hard | $23,220 |
| Impoppable | $25,800 |
Path 1: Dartling Guns Upgrade
Another way to effectively pop Lead Bloons is to upgrade the Crossbow Monkey’s Dartling Guns. The Dartling Guns upgrade, available in Path 1, allows the Crossbow Monkey to pop both Frozen and Lead Bloons. This upgrade also increases the damage dealt by the Crossbow Monkey to Ceramics and Fortified Bloons.
| Upgrade | Effect |
|---|---|
| Dartling Guns | Pop Frozen and Lead Bloons, increase damage to Ceramics and Fortified Bloons |
Path 2: Tech Terror
Path 2 offers a different approach to popping Lead Bloons. The Tech Terror upgrade, available in Path 2, prevents the Super Monkey’s main attack from popping Purples or invisible Camo, Camo Lead, or other special bloons. However, Tech Terror increases the damage dealt by the Super Monkey to all non-Purple bloons.
| Upgrade | Effect |
|---|---|
| Tech Terror | Prevents main attack from popping Purples or Camo Lead, increases damage to non-Purple bloons |
Path 3: Wizard Monkey’s Flash Bomb
The Flash Bomb upgrade, available in Path 3, increases the damage dealt by the Wizard Monkey’s Flash Bomb to all bloon types, including Lead Bloons. Flash Bomb has a chance to stun Lead Bloons, making it easier to pop them later.
| Upgrade | Effect |
|---|---|
| Flash Bomb | Increase damage to Lead Bloons, chance to stun Lead Bloons |
Conclusion
In summary, the Crossbow Monkey can pop Lead Bloons with the Crossbow Master upgrade, which requires significant game currency. Additionally, upgrading the Dartling Guns or using the Tech Terror or Flash Bomb upgrades from other paths can also make it easier to pop Lead Bloons. As with any bloon-popping strategy, it’s important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each monkey upgrade and plan accordingly.
