Megalodon

Since receiving various nerfs to its latch uptime, attack speed, and damage, the Megalodon has lost its specialty as a [[Boss Bloon]] destruction specialist, now being only roughly similar DPS to [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]] ~~at max Power~~ for a high cost, in addition to its water requirement and limited range. Power 132 Megalodon remains powerful in many game modes that require both high single-target and grouped damage, but neither it nor Power 36 are good enough any more to warrant use in deep [[Freeplay]]. Regardless, its high cost and downtime still prevent it from being a viable tower for [[CHIMPS]].

The high cost of Megalodon makes buffs, especially [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]], highly valuable. When selling is enabled, the 3 additional [[Orca]]s required for purchasing Megalodon can be sold with [[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]] and replaced with [[Great White]]s, which are far more efficient for merging into a Power 132 Megalodon. Use of 7 additional Orcas is only necessary when tower maxes are insufficient and a Power 132 Megalodon is required, but is not worth it for how much investment versus power gain is obtained.
