Crucible of Steel and Flame

Tower	Tack Shooter
XP cost	To be determined
Cash cost	To be determined
Introduced	Version 46.0

The Crucible of Steel and Flame is the upcoming Tack Shooter's Paragon in Bloons TD 6, to be introduced in version 46.0. It is a combination of Inferno Ring, Super Maelstrom, and The Tack Zone.

The Crucible of Steel and Flame constantly attacks with an attack similar to Blade Maelstrom, but with limited area coverage. It shoots white hot blades that split into a ring of tacks when they expire. Unlike other Paragons, it cannot detect Camo Bloons. It has two Activated Abilities:

• The Maelstrom ability temporarily increases its pierce and projectile lifespan (allowing its blades to travel much further) and causes it to start shooting jets of flame around itself, dealing damage in an area similarly to Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring.
• The Meteor Impact ability spawns a meteor that targets a Bloon and lands on it, dealing heavy damage in a large area and spawning 32 homing fireballs projectiles.
