Sprayer ($425 on easy)

-16 tacks per volley

-Ring of Fire is powerful (it can pop unlimited rainbows when placed correctly. Tested in Bloon Circles Sandbox)

-MOAB damage, Ceramic damage

-More layers per shot (sometimes, bloons that are close enough can get multiple damage)

Blade ($680 on easy)

-Fast firing

-Higher pierce

-Blades are less likely to miss than tacks (BTD5 description)

-Ability

Personally, I prefer Tack Sprayer because it is cheaper and because of RoF, which is actually pretty good on tracks like The Rink or Bloon Circles. However, I do get Blade Shooters sometimes for thinning out bloon rushes. Also, I do use Maelstroms for the same purpose and for TOTMG sacrifices. Oh yeah, and I forgot to say that I prefer Burny Stuff than Blade Shooter against bloon rushes and that actually, maelstroms are useful when placed far away from the track because it has a relatively short ability cooldown. And I forgot to log in. :)
