edit
The top path tack shooter is highly effective at defending everything below MOAB class. We are nerfing its cost slightly to make such a strong defence a bit more of an investment.

3-X-X Hot Shots
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $600 → $700
4-X-X Ring of Fire
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $3,300 → $3,500
While the Tack Shooter is a popular and powerful early game tower, it’s[sic] top path tier 5 felt like it was lagging behind the other upgrades in terms of efficiency. We are reducing its cost to bring it in line with the other tier 5s.

Tiers Changes
5-X-X Inferno Ring
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $45,500 → $35,500
Tack is a very popular tower and is used in a lot of strategies, in particular the Blade Maelstrom upgrade. We’ve decided to increase the price to make microing just a little bit less efficient.
