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.
