Sauda's sword slashes are large stationary [[projectile]]s that are offset slightly in front of her. Like [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]s and [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]], the [[projectile radius|radius]] of these projectiles scales with [[range]] buffs to allow her slashes to hit Bloons from further away when buffed. She has four attack animations that she uses at random, but their differences are purely visual.

Initially, she slashes every 0.45 seconds and pops 3 Bloons per shot, dealing 1 damage. Versus fortified Bloon, Ceramic Bloon and MOAB-Class Bloon, mutually exclusively, each sword slash always does 2× her base damage. Her slashes improve as she levels up:

'''Leaping Sword''' is unlocked at level 3. Upon activation, Sauda stops attacking for about 0.5s to jump and crash at Bloons with her swords. While jumping, she always tracks her target. Upon hitting a location, the "strike" area-of-effect, followed by an "after-sword" that continuously damages Bloons that pass through its radius. This ability has a cooldown of 30 seconds. She cannot activate any ability while any of her abilities are active. Selling her will remove any placed Leaping Swords that came from her.<!--assumes multiple saudas; selling the sauda that did the sword will have those removed-->

The "strike" deals 20 damage or 80 [[MOAB-Class damage]] around 15 radius, up to 30 Bloons. The "after-sword" does 2 damage with 5 pierce, with a rehit cooldown of 0.2s and pierce refresh of 0.1s, and 15 radius. Both attributes of the Leaping Sword have the Normal damage type.

The majority of Sauda's power comes from her abilities. Leaping Sword is great for general damage if Sauda is targeting Bloons that can trigger her bonus and Sword Charge provides much needed cleanup in the late game while trivializing certain mid-game rounds such as 63, 76, and 78. She is especially powerful on maps with overlapping lanes, such as [[Quad]].

She is especially powerful on maps with overlapping lanes, such as [[Quad]].


Overall, she excels in casual gameplay, being friendly to newer players without much user input required to optimize her. On [[Boss Rush]], her Leaping Sword can be a simple spammable way to deal early Boss damage, especially versus [[Phayze (BTD6)|Phayze]] and [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]. She's decent in early-game [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions with Leaping Sword, however [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]]'s Scatter Missile remains more reliable at maximizing pierce.<!--rosa is better for race events, but sauda still good?-->
