'''Laser Cannon''' is the [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It replaces its~~ darts ~~with~~ lasers that ~~have +1~~ damage~~, +5~~ pierce, faster projectile speed, and +2 [[MOAB-Class damage|MOAB damage~~]]. The lasers can pop Frozen Bloons but not [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloons~~]]. Additionally, shock duration is increased by 1 second. [[Powerful Darts (BTD6)|Powerful Darts]] grants +3 pierce instead of +2 (from 6 to 9).

Laser Cannon has decent MOAB-class damage, but is not very powerful for its cost, as alternatives such as [[Riptide Champion]] or [[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD6)|Hydra Rocket Pods]] are more efficient against groups. The lack of purple-popping can be detrimental to the tower. It is primarily used as a stepping stone to [[Plasma Accelerator (BTD6)|Plasma Accelerator]] rather than purchased for its own sake. However, in absence of blimp debuffs, Laser Cannons are more efficient Dartlings to spam against single blimps, as the condensed crosspathing benefits can save more money than buying many crosspathed lower-tiers would.

The 3-2-0 crosspath is preferred for its Camo detection and faster attack speed, as 3-0-2's pierce is not as signficant, and faster swivel is unnecessary.
