Strategy

Even More Tacks is not recommended for standalone use due to being less efficient than an extra 0-0-0 Tack Shooter, and is thus only recommended for crosspathing purposes. It is recommended for Inferno Ring when pierce buffs such as Berserker Brew and Primary Training can be obtained, Ring of Fire when its base range is sufficient, and Blade Maelstrom and Super Maelstrom if using them for the mid-game (where reliability is key). Even More Tacks is the generally suboptimal crosspath for Hot Shots and Blade Shooter.

Version 20.0

“

Inferno Ring has felt very outclassed for a long time, and more recently the tack shooter was reworked to give pierce on x2x which made the old 402 pierce crosspath not make as much sense anymore. We wanted to start work on both these issues together by reworking how Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring interact with crosspaths
— Update notes

”

4-0-2, 5-0-2

•  More Tacks no longer grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
•  Even More Tacks no longer grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
•  Even More Tacks now increases damage by +1 for Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
  • Note: Ring of Fire damage increased 3 to 4 and Inferno Ring damage increased 4 to 5

Version 21.0

“

The Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring upgrades recently received a crosspath functional rework, as we’re happy with the x2x range/pierce combo now this small follow-up is just to bring a bit more impact to the short-range 402 variant.
— Update notes

”

4-0-2

•  Damage increased ― 4 → 5

5-0-2

•  Damage increased ― 5 → 6

Version 30.0

“

Inferno Ring itself feels ok but for the difficult saveup not so much, so as a bit of a buff we have added crosspathing to the Meteor attack.
— Update notes

”

5-0-2

•  Even More Tacks now increases the meteor attack's damage by 300

Version 38.0

“

Maelstrom crosspathing? Why not, feels that this could be cool to try out, and more consistency on bottom crosspath may be able to make it the preferred ability crosspath while top path which already improves the base tower more will give back the massive pierce amount for times where the greater punch per use is required.
— Update notes

”

0-4-2, 0-5-2

•  Ability: Now rotates counter-clockwise with this crosspath

0-4-2

•  Ability: Duration increased ― 3s → 4s

0-5-2

•  Ability: Duration increased ― 9s → 12s

Version 43.0

“

Tack is a very powerful base tower technically, but it is unable to achieve high uptime of that potential power in many early rounds, so some base cost is moving into the cheaper xx1 and xx2 upgrades to make it easier for other towers to start alongside the tack.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $100 → $110
  •  Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 46.0

•  Reload rate reduced ― 1.4s → 1.12s
