Blade Maelstrom is the Tack Shooter's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons Monkey City. It grants the tower an Activated Ability that shoots out a pair of maelstrom blades 30 times a second for 2 seconds in 12 degree increments. Each blade has infinite pierce, deals 1 damage and passes through Lead and Frozen Bloons without damaging them. Its cooldown is 20 seconds. The blade dispersion spins anticlockwise in the Flash version, clockwise in the Mobile version.

Strategy

This ability is generally used as a cheap way to clear rushes and ceramics at higher difficulty attacks while in a pinch. Due to its pierce and quantity of projectiles it can pack a high DPS when activated. It can be hastily sold and repurchased for more activations in rapid succession without losing too much money. It is typically outclassed as defense in normal gameplay, but is still a viable choice for non MOAB-class Bloons.
