Strategy

Semi Auto can be considered an unorthodox and expensive Ceramic Bloon stripper on tile capturing, only requiring Full Metal Jacket on the other path to deal with all but the densest Ceramic rushes and allow for other towers to clean up a much weaker bloon threat, which is achieved by setting it to Strong targeting. Once spaced MOABs spawn, this can similarly be used to break them open by purchasing Point Five Oh. Its main weakness is Ceramic and MOAB rushes, as it can only target one Bloon at a time; however, by the time these rushes become a threat, a player can afford more defenses to take care of them.

Semi Auto can be added to quickly pop Bloons as soon as they appear for anti-stalling purposes. However, it is not the fastest method of anti-stalling rounds for its cost and will struggle for this purpose once MOABs arrive.

It is more useful in the Flash version of Bloons Monkey City due to the lower variety of effective singular Ceramic-popping options for its cost when compared to the multiplatform version of Bloons Monkey City. In the latter version, cheaper supports such as spamming base Bloonchippers to stall and shred the Ceramic layers, and Glue Gunner's capability to slow Ceramics, are far more effective Ceramic counters.
