On the {{Multiplat version of|Bloons Monkey City}}, due to the damage not passing through layers and the much slower attack speed, plus higher cost, this tower is simply not viable for cleanup. It is only able to chip up to about 4–5 times on most maps before Bloons leave its range, and its limited pierce prevents it from wiping out masses of blimp insides. It is also too expensive to be useful as a lead counter, when other towers like a [[Rapid Reload (BMC)|Rapid Reload]] Mortar can pop all leads for much cheaper. Its only major use case in this version is when [[Monkey Teams (BMC)|Monkey Teams]] has no other option on restrictive terrains (e.g. Ninja-Engi-Tack on [[River Terrain]]) or no other member has reliable Lead popping (e.g. Tack-Ace), but until then road item Pineapples are a better option against early Leads.

It falls apart against Ceramics, lacks pierce against dense rushes, and can only hit Bloons 4–5 times before they leave its range on most lane formats.

The range crosspaths are helpful for Ring of Fire to potentially hit Bloons more times, except on the Flash version where they don't improve the radius of the fire attack, which makes them redundant.

Ring Of Fire (parsed Ring of Fire in the Flash version) is the Tack Shooter's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons Monkey City. Instead of tacks, it shoots flame rings quicker that pop many more Bloons. It does 2 damage but doesn't soak multiple Bloon layers in the multiplatform version of Bloons Monkey City.

On the multiplatform version of Bloons Monkey City, due to the damage not passing through layers and the much slower attack speed, plus higher cost, this tower simply worse at cleanup than buffed Tack Sprayers and Blade Maelstrom if Leads are handled elsewhere. It falls apart against Ceramics, lacks pierce against dense rushes, and can only hit Bloons 4–5 times before they leave its range on most lane formats. Versus Leads, much cheaper options like Rapid Reload Mortar are far more efficient. Its only use case here is when Monkey Teams has no other option on restrictive terrains (e.g. Ninja-Engi-Tack on River Terrain) or no other member has reliable Lead popping (e.g. Tack-Ace), but, until then, road item Pineapples are a better option against early Leads.

The range crosspaths are helpful for Ring of Fire to potentially hit Bloons more times, except on the Flash version where they don't improve the radius of the fire attack, which makes them redundant.
