Overview
Highest single-target popping power in the game - however, surprisingly weak against a lot of bloons. Costs $420.
This tower automatically targets the strongest bloon on the map.

Tips
- Can pop camo with any upgrade tier 2 or better.
- Can pop lead with any upgrade tier 1 or better.
- Can damage HTAs with 4L, 5L, 4S, 5S, and any middle path.
- Shielded MOABs (except the LPZ) are immune to the stun from 5M.
- In addition to the stun, 5M deals massively increased damage (approximately 75).
- 5S has two separate attacks, an explosive attack and a railgun. The railgun penetrates infinitely, even through shields, and will pop at least a brick in one shot. Unfortunately, the explosive attack only pops 5 layers, meaning that against swarms of high-tier bloons and/or MOABs it will cause them to split and spread out, drastically reducing the effectiveness of the railgun.
