← Blade Shooter

Blade Maelstrom is the Tack Shooter's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles. It unlocks an Activated Ability that causes the Tack Shooter to shoot blades in a spiral pattern. It fires two blades at a time from opposite sides, with a 0.333-second delay between each shot, and its firing angle changes by 12° clockwise after each shot, firing 60 blades in total. Each blade has infinite travel distance, infinite pierce, and deals 1 sharp-type damage. This ability has a 20-second cooldown. Its blade attack is unchanged from Blade Shooter.

Version 4.3

“

The Tack Shooter’s second upgrade path is rarely seen in arenas, especially in Ceramic Crucible and above. We’ve reduced the prices of the first three upgrades on that side to help make the tower more worthy of that valuable space in your loadout. — Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $2,700 → $2,800
  •  Overall cost reduced by $55 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 4.3.1

“

Other than to use the Blade Maelstrom ability, the Tack Shooter's second upgrade epath is rarely wandered down by Battles players. The feeling here is that the Tack Sprayer is, currently, more reliable than its opposite number, so we hope this increase in pierce will correct that and give players more of a choice when it comes to picking which path to take. — Update notes

”

•  Pierce increased ― 2 → 3
