Blade Maelstrom



Blade Maelstrom is an upgrade that you unlock on rank 20. It is a special ability for the Tack Shooter in BTD5. When activated, the Blade Maelstrom shoots blades in a circular shape. It's great when bloons are on loops.

Blade Maelstrom will do more damage to bloons closer to it. MOABs rounding a corner of 180 degrees or more will be almost completely destroyed, their children included. If used at the right time, Maelstrom WILL completely destroy the MOAB and its children.

Cost: $2300 (Easy), $2700 (Med), $2920 (Hard)

Trivia

 * Maelstrom does not affect to camo bloons even if monkey village with radar scanner is near the blade shooter.
 * 10 Maelstroms can take down a BFB, HOWEVER they cannot deal with the leftover MOABs
 * This Abillity is takes a very short period of time to recharge.
 * Blade Maelstrom is the third cheapest Special Ability in BTD5, costing $2700 in Medium.
 * If the Blade Maelstrom is placed near a Monkey Village with High Energy Beacon, and if the Hotter Cooldown premium upgrade is purchased, the Blade Maelstrom Ability's cooldown will last only 6 seconds in Fast Forward! However, a lot of things can happen in six seconds (Namely, boom, crash, burn, game over, ect.).
