Strategy

Malicious Mauling benefits MOAB Mauler, the middle bomb path designed for MOAB-class damage, and can also support the bottom path with Cluster Bombs and Recursive Cluster. It also becomes more useful in later rounds as MOAB-class bloons become the majority of the RBE. The decreased attack speed is not too problematic, as the 3x damage to MOAB-class equates to 1.5x overall DPS, and projectile speed loss shouldn't matter as blimps have large hitboxes that are hard to miss.

The ultimate benefactor of this artifact is Striker Jones, who gets the damage multiplier, but none of the drawbacks, and his Artillery Command ability unlocked at Level 10 allows MOAB Assassin to circumvent the longer ability cooldowns.
