'''Blade Shooter''' is the [[Tack Shooter (Battles 2)|Tack Shooter]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It replaces sharp tacks with high pierce blades. The upgrade increases [[pierce]] from 2 to 3, increases [[Projectile size|projectile radius]], and reduces [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] from 1.4 to 1.~~232~~ seconds (0.~~88x~~ multiplier). This also gets an additional +1 pierce from the [[Even More Tacks (Battles 2)|Even More Tacks]] upgrade, for a total of 4 pierce.

It is a little overpriced for the amount of defense it can do against early-game rushes, particularly Spaced Whites, while struggling to Grouped Yellows without additional damage such as [[Quincy (Battles 2)|Quincy]]. However, the extra projectile size allows for more of these projectiles to hit Bloons where the thinner tacks would not, thus taking better advantage of pierce than 3-2-0 [[Hot Shots (Battles 2)|Hot Shots]] or 0-2-3 [[Tack Sprayer (Battles 2)|Tack Sprayer]].
