Laserbeam

Laserbeam is an attack style characterized by creating a rectangular area of damage to pop bloons. It is part of the damage types family. All attacks with the Laserbeam property normally have the Plasma type.

Laserbeam is represented on the Bloons Wiki as, the upgrade artwork for Plasma Accelerator in Bloons TD 6, which depicts a plasma cannon. Laserbeam is rectangular, unlike Area of Effect, which is radial. Laserbeam often comes with Contact Damage because of how laserbeams tend to work. Laserbeam works differently to a standard projectile because attacks with the Laserbeam property will attack instantaneously as soon as it is shot out.

Typical examples of Laserbeam are Plasma Accelerator, and the BTD6 Ray of Doom and BTD5 Ray of Doom. Adora's Ball of Light has two interdependent attacks: a laserbeam attack with Laserbeam, and a pointer with Area of Effect. Same applies for Plasma Accelerator.
