Laser Blasts is the Super Monkey's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the pierce of the Super Monkey's projectiles by 1. It also changes their damage type to Energy, which grants the ability to pop Frozen Bloons, but no longer pop Purple Bloons. Projectile size also increases from 2 to 5. The Super Monkey's line of sight is also slightly elevated.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 51.2

The only purpose of Laser Blasts is to pop Frozen Bloons without Hot Magic, or act as a stepping stone into Plasma Blasts. Extra pierce is more cost-efficient with Super Range (on Medium, $1500 instead of $2000), extra projectile size is not impactful enough to be worth it, and the loss of Purple-popping can be detrimental.

Version 10.0

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,700 → $2,500

Version 35.0

“

We want the base Super Monkey to feel like more of a ‘weak for the cost’ stepping stone into T3s that feel more like T4s; but the base upgrade really does feel very outdated on this idea, and big crosspath problems exist due to this so we are moving some attack speed out from 2xx into the base upgrade. — Update notes

”

•  Base attack rate decreased ― 0.06s → 0.045s
  • Note: Plasma Blasts remains at 0.03s

Version 41.0

“

We weren't sure we’d see the day but the bottom crosspath is now quite used on all Supers, especially so it seems to make Robo Monkey very powerful currently so to address a few different concerns on Super Monkey we’re moving costs from top to middle crosspath — Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,500 → $2,000

Version 42.0

1-4-0, 1-5-0

•  Attack cooldown increased ― 0.036s → 0.045s (attack speed reduced by 20%)

Version 43.0

“

Super Monkey projectiles already travel most the map length so that total distance is being reduced and adding back via the range-focused middle crosspath. — Update notes

”

•  Projectile speed reduced ― 280 → 200
  • Note: Epic Range unchanged at 350

Version 51.0

1-0-5
