Tips[]

  • Can pop camo by default.
  • Can pop lead with all upgrades tier 3 and beyond.
  • Can damage HTAs with all upgrades tier 1 and beyond.
  • The homing spikes from 4R have infinite range.
  • 5M factory deals damage to shielded or static bloons instead of popping them on contact.
  • Nebulas regrow over time, as long as they haven't reached their lifespans.
  • Stack path upgrades cannot bounce back DDTs, ZOMGs and Trojan Bloons, but can slow down DDTs.

Advantages/Disadvantages[]

Advantages[]

  • Can deal with bloons that sneak by your defenses.
  • Has powerful abilities.
  • Left path is good at taking out MOAB class bloons.
  • Stack path gives towers more time to target bloons.
  • A single nebula factory can solo a ZOMG.

Disadvantages[]

  • Bad against shielded bloons and static bloons.
  • VERY expensive at higher tiers.
  • Ineffective if placed near the path entrance.
