You could buy 03 if you're short on cash and just want the big splodey but I'll just make it not complicated to write about |

Hydra Rocket Pods is the Dartling Gun's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons Monkey City. Instead of darts, the tower fire missiles that have 1 pierce when fired, each creating explosions when hitting bloons that pop all bloon types with 40 pierce and a 60 unit radius.
In the multiplatform version of Bloons Monkey City, Hydra Rocket Pods is affected by a bug which increases the amount of explosions made per pierce increase added to the rockets.

Strategy
Hydra Rocket Pods is a much better upgrade in the multiplatform version compared to the Flash version due to the aforementioned pierce-based explosion duplication bug, which allows it to effortlessly handle large Bloon cluster rounds on its own, and with Bloons Monkey City's reduced MOAB health, can also eliminate hordes of lower tier MOAB-Class Bloons. This scales into the Bloon Area Denial System well and functions as a win condition for tile captures. Dartling's pierce MK (Ranks 3, 8, 13) and Monkey Fort are easy ways to maximize explosions.
Without the bug, it is simply overpriced in both its research and in-game cost. For early cities, other smaller Bloon cleanup towers perform its function better, such as Operation: Dart Storm or Glaive Ricochet, though it can be used to decent effect on some Monkey Teams that include Dartling.
It is always recommended to buy Faster Barrel Spin to maximize rockets.
