Strategy

Even Faster Shooting costs more than 2 base Tack Shooters while only granting a +78% power boost, and therefore is not recommended for standalone use. However, it serves a solid role in crosspathing, being the optimal crosspath for Tack Sprayer, Overdrive, The Tack Zone, Super Range Tacks, and Blade Shooter. Even Faster Shooting is recommended for Blade Maelstrom and Super Maelstrom if burst damage is needed, but not when more spread-out and reliable damage is needed, in which case crosspathing them with Even More Tacks is recommended.

Tack Shooter lacks any significant crosspathing choice due to the overwhelmingly large rate increase from top path making it almost always too good an option, we are reducing this crosspath rate benefit but moving that amount back up to the T3.
— Update notes
  •   Even Faster Shooting attack cooldown bonus reduced ― -40% → -25%
    • Note: 3xx and above unaffected
Maelstrom crosspathing? Why not, feels that this could be cool to try out, and more consistency on bottom crosspath may be able to make it the preferred ability crosspath while top path which already improves the base tower more will give back the massive pierce amount for times where the greater punch per use is required.
— Update notes
The recent ability crosspathing for Tack Shooter was fun but feels too lopsided as pierce concerns are very niche on Maelstrom, instead we want to shift this entire focus around for top path to be the rate crosspath for more damage in a shorter amount of time and leaving bottom mainly about greater overall uptime.
— Update notes
2-4-0, 2-5-0
  •   Ability: Even Faster Shooting no longer increases pierce
    •   Overall pierce is unchanged (due to changes to the base pierce)
  •   Ability: Even Faster Shooting now decreases attack cooldown by 15%
    • Reduces overall attack cooldown by 27.75% (due to changes to the previous tier)
    •   Overall attack cooldown with this crosspath increased ― 0.03s → 0.0325125s (due to changes to the base attack cooldown)
  •   Overall cost reduced by $20 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Every Tack Shooter Tier 3 needed a different attack rate boost, so to tidy this up we’ve moved much of that rate to the base tack shooter.
— Update notes
  •   Reload rate reduced ― 0.7875s → 0.63s
    • Note: 3-X-X remains 0.63s.
