Cleansing Foam allows the tower to spray foam that can decamo and de-regrow bloons, while also removing the lead layer of lead bloons. It also quadruples attack and deployment speed for 1 second at the start of every round. While the foam cannot actually damage bloons with lead properties, namely DDTs and Dreadbloon, it does bypass the extra health Fortified Leads have. However, powerful anti-lead measures can usually be secured well before Fortified Leads appear, so it is mostly useless for this purpose. When crosspathed with Sentries, the Sentries’ nail attacks remove lead and regrow from (normal) bloons, and can decamo them if they have camo detection. Cleansing Foam can be used on rounds with many DDTs, especially when paired with Thicker Foams MK, allowing powerful towers that can’t see camo, such as high-tier Boomerang Monkeys, to quickly eliminate the DDTs.

Overclock is one of the best upgrades for the tower, as it allows the Engineer to give a tower of the player’s choice a massive attack speed buff. Banana Farms, when Overclocked, make much more money, while Villages just get increased range (except for Primary Expertise, to which both the attack speed buff and increased radius is applied). The upgrade also gives a hefty increase to the Engineer’s pierce, while granting more pierce to the Cleansing Foam as well.

The upgrade also gives a hefty increase to the Engineer’s pierce, while granting more pierce to the Cleansing Foam as well. Overclock rewards strategies that rely on powerful towers rather than many towers, and its uptime for below Tier 5 towers is equal to or even greater than its cooldown, allowing said monkeys to constantly have a very high attack rate. This can turn towers that are middling at DPS, such as Sentry Champion and Apache Prime, into masters of DPS.

Ultraboost provides an even better buff: it lasts a full minute regardless of tier, has a shortened cooldown, and gives a small, permanent attack speed buff to the tower it is used on. This permanent buff stacks up to ten times on the same tower, totaling a permanent buff almost equal to that of the Overclock ability buff. On top of that, the permanent buff stacks with the Overclock/Ultraboost ability. It also gets a big pierce increase to both the nail and foam attacks. Focus should be switched from towers that can keep the uptime to the most powerful, since the uptime can easily be kept to permanent. Towers with an already huge attack speed, such as Avatar of Wrath and Flying Fortress, can have their attack speed multiplied many times over to wipe out even Fortified BADs and Bosses with ease. It is best not to use it against Lych, as it will simply allow him to heal large amounts of health while stealing the boost.

Crosspaths become less and less useful as you level up, and overall, Path 3 is the better option, as while none of the crosspaths benefit the Overclock or Ultraboost, the extra pierce and slowdown effect given to the Cleansing Foam allows it to be used as a viable decamo tower, particularly against DDTs.
