'''Super Maelstrom''' is the [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooter]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It upgrades the [[Blade Maelstrom (BTD6)|Blade Maelstrom's]] ability to last 9 seconds instead of 3, shoot out 4 blades at a time instead of 2, gains +8 bonus [[Ceramic damage]], and increases the pierce of the ability's blades from 100 to 300. Additionally, its regular attack gains +3 additional damage (5 total), +5 bonus Ceramic damage, and its damage type is changed to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}. These changes do not apply to the ability.

== Super Maelstrom Ability ==

[[File:BTD6 TackShooter SuperMaelstromUpgradeIconAA.png|right|100px]]

The Super Maelstrom ability has a cooldown of 20 seconds, with an initial cooldown of 6.67 seconds. When activated, it fires out four extra-strong blades per shot in an 360° amgle at rapid rates, while spinning the ejection angles at 360° per second clockwise; this creates a spiral pattern with the ejected blades. The ability lasts for 9 seconds. Each blade deals 2 [[Damage#Shatter|Shatter]] damage (+8 bonus damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|ceramics]]), has 300 [[pierce]], and is fired with an attack cooldown of 0.045 seconds. It can be affected with all types of buffs (e.g. damage, attack speed, pierce).

The ability also receives crosspathing benefits:

* [[Faster Shooting (BTD6) (Tack Shooter)|Faster Shooting]] — ability gains ~17.6% increased attack speed (0.85x attack cooldown).

* [[Even Faster Shooting (BTD6)|Even Faster Shooting]] — ability gains ~38.4% increased attack speed total (0.85x attack cooldown on top, total of 0.7225x).

* [[More Tacks (BTD6)|More Tacks]] — ability gains +1.5s duration and spins counter-clockwise.

* [[Even More Tacks (BTD6)|Even More Tacks]] — ability gains +3s duration total.

With support for {{BTD6|Lead Bloon}}s and [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection, Super Maelstrom is a win condition in [[Race Event]]s. Super Maelstrom transitions smoothly from Blade Maelstrom as it extends the duration of Blade Maelstrom's ability when upgraded from it while the ability is active. 0-5-2 is the preferred crosspath in Race Events because of the longer duration. Super Maelstrom is also powerful against {{BTD6|Bloonarius}}'s spawns, especially in Timed settings.

Elsewhere, Super Maelstrom is a below average DPS option that falls off on [[Expert]] maps, but fulfills a niche role in cleaning up Super Ceramics for cheaper than most T5s (e.g. [[The Bloon Solver (BTD6)|The Bloon Solver]]). In CHIMPS, 2-5-0 and 0-5-2 are equally favorable, with the former having stronger burst damage and the latter being more reliable. It benefits from [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]]'s cooldown reduction; {{BTD6|Primary Expertise}} and {{BTD6|Energizer}} are far too expensive.
