Strategy

Missile Launcher is not good by itself, due it not being significantly improved compared to the 0-0-0 Bomb Shooter (which is already a sub-par 0-0-0 base tower), relegating its use to being a crosspath for Tier 3+ Bomb Shooters to maximize attack speed. Increased projectile speed may help more reliably catch faster bloons, but other towers do that role more efficiently.

Missile Launcher is the better crosspath for Really Big Bombs, Bloon Impact, Bloon Crush, and Bomb Blitz. Missile Launcher is optimal for Recursive Cluster outside of Race Events and Bloonarius, and is the inferior crosspath for Cluster Bombs.
