Strategy

Tack Sprayer is a good early-game tower, being especially strong on maps with good bends but falling short on maps without them. It is also a good tower for Race Events (the only situation where 0-2-3 is the stronger crosspath), and CT Time Attack especially with Flint Tips relic, but is worse than Hot Shots and Blade Shooter without that relic. 2-0-3 Tack Sprayer is also a good choice in Boss Rush to begin against Bloonarius and Blastapopoulos.

Tack Sprayer is more cost-efficient than its succeeding upgrade, Overdrive, but the latter is nonetheless better beyond the early-game due to its deadzone (spot above the tack where all tacks hit) and more concentrated power (pairing much better with Berserker Brew). On maps with an abundance of good spots near a bend, Tack Sprayer spam is a viable strategy when given Permanent Brew, Primary Mentoring or Primary Expertise, and Embrittlement.

Version 46.0

“

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. Given the bottom path Tack is slightly nerfed from this rate change, it is seeing additional pierce to make an overall buff. — Update notes

”

•  Reload rate increased ― 1.05s → 1.12s
  • Note: Stacks with top crosspath: 1-0-3 ― 0.7875s → 0.84s. 2-0-3 ― 0.5906s → 0.63s
•  Pierce increased ― 1 → 2
  • Note: Stacks with 0-2-3 upgrade ― 4 → 5. X-X-4 pierce remains 2
• Description changed ― "Sprays out 16 tacks per volley." → "Sprays out 16 higher pierce tacks per volley."
