How to use Bloon Sabotage
Bloon Sabotage gives the Ninja an ability that slows every bloon on screen, plus any new ones that spawn, to half speed for 15 seconds. It has a 60 second cooldown and a 20 second initial cooldown when bought. BADs and Boss Bloons are not slowed, and children of MOAB-class bloons popped during the slow are not affected either.
When to buy it
Sabotage is a straightforward support tool that does not depend on placement, so you can put it anywhere. It is popular in CHIMPS for buying time on DDT rounds and on hard late rounds, and in freeplay once bloon speed starts scaling up. Time it for the dangerous part of a round rather than using it on cooldown.
It pairs well with other supports that have downtime, such as Embrittlement and Symphonic Resonance, and you can cover the gaps between uses with MOAB Glue. Since it keeps the Shinobi Tactics buff, choose the crosspath that best fits your Ninja setup; Seeking Shuriken's extra range spreads the Shinobi buff further.
Is it worth it?
Yes as a support pick. It will not help much on super-dense rounds where blimps pop into many children, but for DDTs and fast late rounds it is reliable.
