Tack Sprayer has poor performance against groups of Bloons due to its low pierce but it is cheap and effective against early [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, including against [[Boss Bloon]]s. It falls off in later rounds of tile capturing due to the sheer quantity of MOABs and BFBs that can spawn, although a 2-1 [[Monkey Village (BTD5)|Monkey Village]] can help it survive for a while due to the essentially doubled pierce and increase to attack speed. It is also horrible at dealing with [[DDT (BMC)|DDT]]s, as it doesn't have camo detection, often only fires 1-2 times before the DDTs slip by the bend, and on the {{Flash version of|Bloons Monkey City}}, have the properties of a [[Lead Bloon (BMC)|Lead Bloon]], requiring a [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BMC)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] to damage them. Monkey Knowledge is recommended to improve its pierce, but even with +3 pierce from Rank 13 and 14 it still lacks pierce compared to other options for its cost. | |||
Tack Sprayer spam is also an excellent starting option against bosses due to its cheap price and being able to spam a lot of them, as well as being a great recipient of the [[MIB Call To Arms (BMC)|MIB Call To Arms]] buff, further increasing its speed and pierce. It can be especially useful on [[Blastapopoulos (BMC)|Blastapopoulos]] due to him stunning a single high cost tower instead of the Tack Sprayers. An unupgraded Monkey Village can take the stun and provide the ability to buy more tack sprayers in the starting area of the track in order to build to a proper defense with [[Spike Storm (BMC)|Spike Storm]]s later. | |||
Tack sprayers do not necessarily need the range crosspaths, as the tacks traveling further is often not very effective at improving its hit rate. | |||
