Ray of Doom

Ray of Doom is the Final Path 1 Upgrade of the Dartling Gun. It costs $46750 on easy, $55000 on medium, $59400 on hard. While the description says that it shoots a solid beam that kills every bloon in its path, the beam actually flashes. The Ray of Doom's beam will continuosly flash regardless of the cirumstances, however this is purely cosmetic - the ray's area of effect is not affected by the flashing. The Ray of Doom has a popping power of 100, and pops bloons every frame - meaning that even Ceramic bloons are popped in well under a second. This upgrade is probably one of the best upgrades for popping normal Bloons.

Trivia

 * Ray of Doom is similar to Death Ray Vision in Bloons Super Monkey.Ray_of_doom.png
 * Ray of Doom is the only tower upgrade which makes upgrades on it's other path have no effect. Both Powerful Darts and Depleted Bloontonium Darts do not affect the Ray of Doom at all since they are now redundant (one might expect Powerful Darts to add 2 to the Ray of Doom's popping power, but this is not the case).
 * It is possibly inspired by a weapon invented by Nikola Tesla called the "Death Ray". It could destroy any aNoflashROD.pngft in combat. However, unlike the Bloons TD version, it never got off the drawing board.
 * This upgrade is notoriously bad against individual MOAB class bloons, as it has a popping power of 100 but only pops 1 layer per frame. This means it effectively loses 99% of it's firepower. It is still more than a match for an individual MOAB or BFB however, and indeed can take down large groups of them quickly.
 * RODIcon.png Ray of Doom used to have infinite popping power. This was changed in a recent update.
 * One Ray of Doom can easily take care of non-MOAB class bloons in mass amounts
 * The Ray of Doom can pop leads but the Laser Cannon cannot even though they appear to both be lasers.
 * The laser has 5 frames.
 * The Ray of Doom can take as few as 9 seconds to pop a M.O.A.B and 36 seconds to pop a B.F.B.
 * In the official artwork of Ray of Doom, the monkey's hands are covered with the suit, but in the game they aren´t covered
 * The head of the Ray of Doom forms the picture for Medium dificulty on Extreme tracks.
