Upgrades

Hot Tacks Path

Hot Tacks

Tier 1

Periodically fire more dangerous, heated tacks.

This upgrade causes every third shot from its main attack to fire eight hot tacks instead, which deal 12 base damage (16 with the Level 2 version) instead of 3. More Tacks, Even More Tacks, and Tack Sprayer only increase the number of hot tacks fired at a time if the player chooses them after choosing this upgrade.

Hotter Tacks

Tier 2

Hot tacks deal even more damage.

This upgrade increases the damage dealt by Hot Tacks by 200%, so they effectively deal 36 base damage (48 damage with Hot Tacks +).

Industrial Heaters

Tier 2

Hot tacks fire more often.

This upgrade causes the main attack to fire Hot Tacks on every second shot instead of every third shot. State of the Art Heaters overrides this upgrade's effect.

Ring of Fire

Tier 3

Shoots fireballs instead of hot tacks.

Detonation Ring

Tier 4

Fireballs explode when destroyed.

State of the Art Heaters

Tier 4

All attacks shoot fireballs.

Blades Path

Blade Shooter

Tier 1

Fires large, shredding blades.

This upgrade unlocks a secondary attack that fires two blade projectiles in opposite directions 0.9 times per second. Its firing angle rotates 45° clockwise each time it shoots, effectively alternating between four directions. Its blades deal 10 damage and have 10 pierce (15 damage and 15 pierce with the Level 2 version) with a 2% base chance to crit.

More Blades

Tier 2

Fire more blades per attack.

This upgrade causes the Blade Shooter attack to fire two more blade projectiles at a time. By default, it fires four projectiles at a time in a cross shape. With Blade Maelstrom, it fires eight projectiles at a time (twelve with Blade Maelstrom's Level 2 version).

Bigger Blades

Tier 2

Larger blades can hit more bloons.

This upgrade increases the projectile radius and pierce of the Blade Shooter attack by 50% and 100%, respectively.

Magnetic Blades

Tier 3

Blades home in on nearby Bloons.

Bouncing Blades

Tier 4

Blades ricochet from Bloon to Bloon perfectly.

Blade Maelstrom

Tier 4

Fire even more blades per attack.

This upgrade increases the number of blades fired by the Blade Shooter attack at a time by 4 (8 with the Level 2 version). By default, it fires six projectiles at a time (10 with the Level 2 version). With More Blades, it fires eight projectiles at a time (twelve with the Level 2 version).

Swarm Path

More Tacks

Tier 1

Fires more tacks per attack.

This upgrade increases the number of tacks fired at a time by its main attack from 8 to 12 (14 with the Level 2 version). This also increases the number of Hot Tacks fired at a time only if the player applies this upgrade after applying Hot Tacks first.

Tack Onslaught

Tier 2

Significantly increase attack speed.

This upgrade increases the attack speed of all of the Tack Shooter Monkey's attacks by 200%, including Blade Shooter if crosspathed with it.

Even More Tacks

Tier 2

Fires more tacks per attack.

This upgrade increases the number of tacks fired at a time by its main attack by 4, stacking additively with More Tacks and Tack Sprayer. This also increases the number of Hot Tacks fired at a time only if the player applies this upgrade after applying Hot Tacks first.

Entrenched

Tier 3

Tack Shooters can stop moving to fire faster.

This upgrade causes the Tack Shooter Monkey to become entrenched if the player's Hero does not move (including by taking damage) for 3 seconds. While entrenched, the Tack Shooter Monkey gains a 100% attack speed buff (150% with the Level 2 version) and remains locked in place. If the Hero moves at least 10 meters away from it, it frees itself, loses the buff, and teleports back to the team. Despite what the description implies, only Tack Shooter Monkeys with this upgrade can become entrenched.

Cog in the Machine

Tier 4

All Tack Shooters fire faster the more Tack Shooters you have.

Tack Sprayer

Tier 4

Fires loads of tacks per attack.

This upgrade increases the number of tacks fired at a time by its main attack by 8 (16 with the Level 2 version), stacking additively with More Tacks and Even More Tacks. This also increases the number of Hot Tacks fired at a time only if the player applies this upgrade after applying Hot Tacks first.
