Talk:Bowman Monkey/@comment-25029987-20140918110842

Since I can't reply using the main comment section, I'm going to say this here.

The reason for the high prices on the Flechettes and Incendiary Rounds are because of the fact that the tower has a very high popping power and can pop through leads, making them an effective anti-standard bloon tower. The Incendiary Rounds add to this as the fire can spread throughout bloon rushes giving it even more anti-standard capabilities.

With the Explosive Rounds, it's there to compliment earlier rounds where a Plasma-Vision Super Monkey isn't available, however it's mostly there to build for the Hindenburg Bolts. A Hindenburg Bowman is incredibly expensive as it essentially makes a Cripple MOAB redundant due to the fact that the tower only fires at MOABs without bombs attached and because of how slow the blimps are in proportion to the monkey's firing speed, meaning it can slow entire waves of MOABs incredibly easily - which explains why it's double the price of a Sun God.
