Ray of Doom is the Dartling Gunner's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It fires a larger constant laserbeam with 30 damage (instead of 1 and +10 MOAB-class damage), +110 bonus damage to the first target, 999 pierce, and gains Normal damage type. The shock damage bonus and damage-over-time are both increased (20 instead of 1), and duration is increased from 5 to 30 seconds. The laserbeam no longer extends until the Dartling Gunner's target, instead continuing on indefinitely until it hits an obstacle or exits the map.
With 5-0-2, the beam radius is increased from 6 to 9, and pierce increased from 999 to 1025.

Strategy

The Ray of Doom is an expensive tower that is difficult to afford in most situations without income generation. If it can be afforded however, it can easily wipe out the late game on most maps. Its huge pierce makes dense waves of Bloons a non-issue, but it somewhat struggles in single-target damage given its high cost. Ray of Doom is viable against earlier tiers of Boss Bloons, but it is almost always outclassed by M.A.D for this purpose. Its combined DoT damage and duration is high enough to be significant for The Final Harmonic, but remains lower than 5-0-1 The Bloon Solver or Glaive Lord.
Unless playing Least Tiers, it should always be crosspathed with 5-2-0 for maximum DPS, as 5-0-2's larger radius is minimal and the pierce bonus does not help it at all due to its already immense pierce.

As our most recently added tower we are very happy with all the excitement surrounding this beloved monkey tower and the general middleground play position. We’re happy enough with its time in the wild to make some first impression changes here which we hope you’ll continue to enjoy.

Ray of Doom suffers from the downsides of being designed as a high piercing tower, for the price this makes it feel far too weak against the round 100 BAD if you invest in it too early without some other forms of single target, to bring back a little of the interesting sort of targeting that the T4 has and help with this single target problem it will now deal a massive damage bonus to the first target hit along the beam’s path.
