I largely prefer the x/4 tack shooter rather than the 4/x shooter, mostly because the ring of fire upgrade doesnt really change the popping power of the shooter... all it does is make the tower attack all the bloons in range, attack faster, destroy leads and have a larger range. You could buy the x/4 shooter which i would say is weaker than the 4/x tower but stronger than the 3/x tower. Its definately more expensive than the 4/x but it has a special ability. When that ring of flame cant even pop a single ceramic or make a mark on a blue moab i would choose the special ability any day. Might as well save up a few more hundred to get the 4/x upgrade on the ninja, or keep that tack as a 3/x cause its really cheap. If you meant which 3rd upgrade is better, i would say its the Tack sprayer for sure. Its cheaper and i have found much more use for it

P.S i dont know anything about how the iOS has a better 4/x tack than the PC, i have never played the mobile before, so only take this opinion for the PC version :P
