Barracuda is mediocre at Power 3, but becomes an immensely powerful early-game tower at Power 6. Aside from [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Leads]] and [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]], it thoroughly wipes out all Bloons that enter its range before the MOAB. It remains powerful for its cost into the mid-game and even late game thanks to its knockback, and it is commonly purchased with a Power 6 [[Adasaurus]], which is also a powerful early-game tower that retains its value into the mid-game. | Barracuda is mediocre at Power 3, but becomes an immensely powerful early-game tower at Power 6.
