Blade Maelstrom is one of the strongest towers in [[Race Event]]s, due to its extremely high pierce and ability to wipe out extraordinary amounts of Bloons and make large amounts of cash that can be used to purchase other towers. When using it in Race Events, fullsend immediately after purchasing it, purchase a 0-2-0 {{BTD6|Alchemist}} next to it, and upgrade the Alchemist to a 3-2-0 {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}} immediately after using the ability to allow it to pop {{BTD6|Lead Bloon}}s and greatly boost its popping power. The same could be done for {{BTD6|Bloonarius}}. | Blade Maelstrom is one of the strongest towers in [[Race Event]]s, due to its extremely high pierce and ability to wipe out extraordinary amounts of Bloons and make large amounts of cash that can be used to purchase other towers.
