Ring of Fire is the Tack Shooter's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It replaces the Tack Shooter's tacks with an area of effect that shoots twice as fast, deals 5 damage instead of 1, and can pop up to 30 Bloons at once. The radius of the fire ring scales with range buffs. It deals much more damage overall, but deals less damage to MOAB-Class Bloons in general since it only shoots one projectile at a time instead of multiple, and it loses the ability to pop Purple Bloons. Crosspathing with the middle path increases its pierce and range, while crosspathing with the bottom path increases its damage. Its attack speed and area of effect radius (but not range) are buffed by Gwendolin starting at level 5, which improves at level 18.

  • Buff Base damage increased ― 2 → 3
  • Changed the visual effect of the fire bursts
Inferno Ring has felt very outclassed for a long time, and more recently the tack shooter was reworked to give pierce on x2x which made the old 402 pierce crosspath not make as much sense anymore. We wanted to start work on both these issues together by reworking how Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring interact with crosspaths
— Update notes
4-0-1, 4-0-2
  • Nerf More Tacks no longer grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
4-0-2
  • Nerf Even More Tacks no longer grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
  • Buff Even More Tacks now increases damage by +1 for Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
    • Note: Ring of Fire damage increased 3 to 4 and Inferno Ring damage increased 4 to 5
4-1-0, 4-2-0
  • Buff Long Range Tacks now grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
4-2-0
  • Buff Super Range Tacks now grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring (+20 total)
The Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring upgrades recently received a crosspath functional rework, as we’re happy with the x2x range/pierce combo now this small follow-up is just to bring a bit more impact to the short-range 402 variant.

4-0-1
  • Buff Damage increased ― 3 → 4
4-0-2
  • Buff Damage increased ― 4 → 5
Ring of Fire doesn’t perform well for the price as a low-range AoE tower with no single target advantage. Since we value the original design intent as low range AoE, we’ve lowered the price to remain a viable choice.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $4,500 → $3,500
Ring of Fire doesn’t keep up well enough for where it is placed, so the attack speed increase from this upgrade has been bumped up from 15% to 25%.
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.5355s → 0.4725s (attack speed increased by 13.33%)
    • Note: Inferno Ring unaffected
Ring of Fire should pick up in that area for cleanup use & general destruction but it has more pierce than it really needs in most scenarios with other important stats sitting lower to compensate for high pierce, so we have shifted this high pierce more into requiring the pierce crosspath in exchange for more base power and an overall buff.
— Update notes
  • Buff Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.4725s → 0.315s
    • Note: Attack cooldown reduction changed from 25% to 50%. Inferno Ring attack speed unchanged
  • Buff Base damage increased ― 3 → 5
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 60 → 40
[...] Ring of Fire also generally has too high a pierce amount for how effective it is at utilizing its full pierce value.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
4-1-0
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 50 → 30
4-2-0
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 60 → 45
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $20 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
