Strategy
This section was last updated for: version 49.2
Improved Rangs is a strong tower for the first rounds with 
Recurring 'Rangs, which allows it to loop twice and maximize its pierce much more effectively. Without Recurring 'Rangs, Improved Rangs is only useful as a crosspath.
For crosspathing purposes, it is almost always recommended to upgrade further to Glaives when crosspathing with Improved Rangs to maximize crosspath benefits. Improved Rangs is optimal for Bionic Boomerang and Turbo Charge, both of which greatly benefit from increased pierce. MOAB Press and Perma Charge prefer Improved Rangs as the crosspath situationally, the former on maps with one entrance per round and the latter when anti-Lead support against DDTs is needed for other towers as well. In nearly all cases, Improved Rangs is the sub-par crosspath for Kylie Boomerang and MOAB Domination.

- 1-0-4, 1-0-5
Improved Rangs now increases Heavy Kylie pierce ― 300 → 350
| “ | MOAB Press spam is overperforming with a high 024 preference, so we are moving pierce from the base 004 into a 204 buff to give this choice some more high density round value. — Update notes |
” |
- 1-0-4
Heavy Kylie: Pierce reduced ― 350 → 300
- 1-0-5
- Heavy Kylie: Pierce increased ― 350 → 400 (undocumented)
- Now has "Switch Hands" targeting option by default
| “ | To reduce some top crosspath dominance, have middle path stay the true speed crosspath and also provide a small buff to the base Boomerang, Glaive’s attack speed bonus has been moved down into the base Boomerang Tower. — Update notes |
” |
- Attack cooldown reduced ― 1.42s → 1.2s (attack speed increased by 18.33%)
- Overall cost reduced by $10 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | The MOAB Press top crosspath is the ‘better’ crosspath for most cases due to having more than double the pierce as well as a stronger knockback amount on a tower that most effectively uses high pierce, as this is one of the better support towers in the game we are reducing that superior crosspath without nerfing the lesser one to even this more. — Update notes |
” |
- 1-0-4, 1-0-5
- Special Kylie: pierce reduced by 40
| “ | We were unhappy with the recent MOAB Press nerf, so this is being undone for further review. — Update notes |
