The Bomb Shooter serves as a strong early and midgame tower to defend many rounds, only requiring a decamo option and some support on tougher maps for it.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Strong starting tower
  • Can pop almost any bloon rush effectively
  • Powerful tier 5 upgrades

Weaknesses

  • Opponent pressure can leak many lives in the early game
  • Requires decamo options.
  • Some maps like Castle Ruins are unfavorable to bomb entirely.
  • Greed potential starts late, which allows cheaper towers to snowball their greed faster, but not for longer.

Upgrades

Path 1

  • 3-0-0 Really Big Bombs lacks a niche.
  • 4-2-0 Bloon Impact stuns fortified Ceramics so that other towers can cleanup effectively.
  • 5-2-0 Bloon Crush keeps DDTs and tight rushes in place as they are picked off.

Path 2

  • 0-3-1 MOAB Mauler lives up to it's name by providing early MOAB and Fortified MOAB defense.
  • 0-4-0 MOAB Assassin oneshots MOABs and breaks down BFBs with it's ability.
  • 2-5-0 MOAB Eliminator delivers a lot of early BAD damage.

Path 3

  • 1-0-3 Cluster Bombs starts games strong up to round 11.
  • 2-0-4 Recursive Cluster defends tight rushes and cleans up ceramics, but can struggle to fortified ceramics without support.
  • 0-0-5 Bomb Blitz's passive works to stop early DDT and tight MOAB rushes from leaking.

Starting with the Bomb Shooter

Many maps have either an intersection or a corner to place a Cluster Bomb into, mitigating it's slow fire rate. Many leaks may happen while saving up for cluster bomb, as opponents can easily pressure with spaced bloons until the player gets it.

  1. Start with a base Bomb Shooter and the Hero.
  2. Upgrade to Frag Bombs and send spaced bloons to afford Cluster Bomb on round 3.
  3. Upgrade to Bigger Bombs for round 4, then start greeding out farms or sending lots of eco.
  4. Depending on the map, Heavy Bombs should be bought to defend against Black Bloons.
  5. From there, the player is safe until round 11, at which point another cluster may be required to defend a big rush, and needs camo support.
