Tack Zone is a map-dependent tower, being strong on maps with good loops and bends (e.g. [[Dark Dungeons]]) but weak on maps without them (e.g. [[Peninsula]]), in addition to performing well against [[Boss Bloon]]s (except {{BTD6|Vortex}}). It is less cost-efficient than {{BTD6|Overdrive}}, but has more concentrated power, making it more space-efficient and not require multiple buffs for separate towers. As with Overdrive, it is recommended to place it so that its deadzone (location directly above its placement where all tacks hit) is on the track and deals massive damage.

Bloon and blimp debuffs such as [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]] are also recommended to maximize single-target damage, as well as compensate for its very weak non-blimp damage. Despite [[Super Range Tacks (BTD6)|Super Range Tacks]] granting a much larger pierce boost than for Overdrive, 2-0-5 is still the generally better crosspath, allowing Tack Zone to fulfill its role as a blimp-damaging tower better and work better with pierce buffs. 0-2-5 should only be used when the extra pierce is needed when no other buff options are available (e.g. [[Monkey Teams (BTD6)|Monkey Teams]]). | |||

Strategy

Tack Zone is a map-dependent tower, being strong on maps with good loops and bends (e.g. Dark Dungeons) but weak on maps without them (e.g. Peninsula), in addition to performing well against Boss Bloons (except Vortex). It is less cost-efficient than Overdrive, but has more concentrated power, making it more space-efficient and not require multiple buffs for separate towers. As with Overdrive, it is recommended to place it so that its deadzone (location directly above its placement where all tacks hit) is on the track and deals massive damage. On certain maps with water, such as Flooded Valley, Tack Zone can be placed on a Carrier Flagship platform to let its deadzone touch the track.
Just like Overdrive, Tack Zone necessitates buffs to maximize its power. Geraldo (with Sharpening Stone and Jar of Pickles), Stronger Stimulant, Primary Training, and Embrittlement all benefit it greatly. Bloon and blimp debuffs such as Embrittlement are also recommended to maximize single-target damage, as well as compensate for its very weak non-blimp damage. Despite Super Range Tacks granting a much larger pierce boost than for Overdrive, 2-0-5 is still the generally better crosspath, allowing Tack Zone to fulfill its role as a blimp-damaging tower better and work better with pierce buffs. 0-2-5 should only be used when the extra pierce is needed when no other buff options are available (e.g. Monkey Teams).

- 0-1-5, 0-2-5
Now increases tack projectile lifespan (bug fix)
- Attack cooldown reduced by 50%
Upgrade cost increased ― $20,000 → $24,000
- Overall cost increased by $4,700 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
“
With pierce and range on the base Tack Zone so high that increases weren’t noticeable the middle crosspath was underserved. To balance crosspathing we have reworked the base Tack Zone around lower values then improving them greatly for the crosspaths.

Similar to Bomb, Tack Zone’s innate popping of Lead with obviously sharp projectiles no longer feels fitting and so along with a large price reduction the damage type stays Sharp.

- Upgrade cost reduced ― $24,000 → $20,000
- Damage type changed ― Normal → Sharp
“
The Tack Zone’s all-purpose high single target & grouped DPS plus cleanup utility scales too well with so many options, as this is primarily intended to be the single-target damage path. To reinforce this we have traded off damage for a bonus to MOABs in order to nerf its unbuffed cleanup potential, so watch out for cluster and Super Ceramics now.

- Damage reduced ― 2 → 1
- Now deals +1 damage to MOAB-Class
“
Tack Zone has so much base pierce the increase from 025 is rendered irrelevant no matter how large the upgrade bonus, so to fix this we must make the base pierce value low enough to actually struggle sometimes & we will give back extra attack rate to the base upgrade to compensate for this.

- Tack Zone rate increase from previous tier ― 25% → 35%
- Tack Zone pierce reduced ― 4 → 2
- Note: 025 pierce reduced from 10 to 8
- 0-2-5
- Pierce bonus increased ― +6 → +8
“
Every Tack Shooter Tier 3 needed a different attack rate boost, so to tidy this up we’ve moved much of that rate to the base tack shooter. Given the bottom path Tack is slightly nerfed from this rate change, it is seeing additional pierce to make an overall buff.
