Strategy
Similar to its previous upgrade, the Bloontonium Reactor struggles to find a proper placement on many tracks due to lack of water placement. Plus, the addition of the damage over time effect does very little to improve the consistency of the decamo, and often doesn't fully pop Bloons stronger than a Pink Bloon. As a result, this upgrade is extremely hard to justify using outside of Contested Territory.
Due to the ability cooldown stacking bug, it can be used in CT on maps with a lot of water to reduce the cooldown of some First Strike Capability subs to almost nothing, and deliver its massive damage missile multiple times per turn. Due to the limited amount of Subs per city, a ratio of about 1:2 First Strikes and Reactors should maximize the rate of the ability.
Footnotes
- ↑ In the multiplatform version, while the in-game text says that the ability cooldown buff doesn't stack, due to an error, it stacks with other reactors and the same reactor with crosspathing.
