Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.2

Faster Reload is not recommended for use as a standalone tower, due to the attack speed boost it provides being less efficient than obtaining another 0-0-0 Bomb Shooter (which is already a sub-par tower for damage in its own right). Thus, Faster Reload is only recommended as a crosspath for Tier 3+ Bomb Shooters, and while crosspathing with Faster Reload, it is nearly universally recommended to further upgrade to Missile Launcher as well.

As a crosspath, Faster Reload is optimal for Really Big Bombs, Bloon Impact, Bloon Crush, and Bomb Blitz. Recursive Cluster prefers Faster Reload outside of Race Events and Bloonarius, and Faster Reload is not recommended for Cluster Bombs.

Some low tier Bomb pierce has been shifted further up into the 2xx Heavy Bombs upgrade to effectively nerf 130 Mauler meta in price, but the price of these upgrades and MOAB Damage of T4 Maulers have both been buffed to benefit other variations of bomb better.
