Strategy

Destroyer is a strong and versatile tower, with several of them being able to take down the mid-game on nearly all maps with water. It is generally best placed at spots surrounded by track on opposing sides, where its attacks can activate on both sides. Crosspath 1 Destroyer to 3-2-0 and the others to 3-1-0, as Grape Shot's increased projectiles are essential to Destroyers and only one Hot Shot is needed to take down mid-game Lead Bloons and inflict the burn.

Pair Destroyer with the 3-2-0 Berserker Brew, boosting former's 1 base pierce and damage are boosted greatly. Admiral Brickell is also crucial for Destroyer-centric strategies, as Naval Tactics and the +1 pierce at Level 8 boost the power of Destroyers further. Past Round 80, Permanent Brew + Destroyer spam is an exceptionally powerful strategy that wipes the floor with CHIMPS and Least Cash Bosses.

Version 37.0

“

Reworking Grape Shot crosspathing as it gains far too much crosspath value by T2 but then is lacking in purpose at higher tiers, double shot will only work as one extra grape however Destroyer will now apply its full attack rate buff to the grapes and Flagship will equip aspects of Grape Shot on the mini planes.
