Tack is the cheapest of the Defenders that are unlocked for all players, and with 2 ammo (having better synergy with buffs). Often best against a 0-delay bloon with more than 50 Health (compared to its two 25-damage shots). Tack Shooter's basic shots can be used to pop bloons with 25 Health or less, or between 40 and 50 Health, to avoid wasting its Defender damage by overpopping a bloon.
Tack is a cheap way to counter Pink Bloons if it still has remaining ammo.
Since the release of Ninja Monkey, Tack was frequently outclassed due to not having the bonus charge and lacking Detect.[1] Instead, the Defender bonus was increased to give a better consistency for using the Defend bonus.[1]
