* Elite Defender is usually better when kept on full Ammo to maximize its damage against leaking high-HP bloons. However, its basic shots could be helpful to do minor damage; it has 4 ammo, equivalent to [[Bionic Boomerang (BCS)|Bionic Boomerang]] with its On Play but with 20 less ATK and 1 more delay. | * Elite Defender is usually better when kept on full Ammo to maximize its damage against leaking high-HP bloons.

The community playtesters for Version 5.2 proposed a rework to both Tack Sprayer and Elite Defender in an effort to limit Tack Sprayer's Zee Jay synergy but improve overall Defender bonuses of both Monkeys. Tack Sprayer had its ammo reduced (4 → 3) but ATK increased (25 → 30) along with increased Defender bonus (+15 → +20). Elite Defender's ammo was increased (3 → 4) but ATK decreased (50 → 35). After these reworks, both Monkeys have the same Defender damage. | The community playtesters for Version 5.2 proposed a rework to both Tack Sprayer and Elite Defender in an effort to limit Tack Sprayer's Zee Jay synergy but improve overall Defender bonuses of both Monkeys.
