| ~ In-game Description |
Blade Shooter is the 3rd upgrade of Path 2 for the Tack Shooter in Bloons TD 6. Shooting large circular saw blades instead of tacks, each blade has extra +4 pierce pierce popping up to 6 bloons (due to +1 pierce from Super Range Tacks), attacks +18% faster (from every 1.4s to every 1.19s with 0-3-x), and covers larger surface area (from ~1 to ~3).
It costs $465 on Easy, $550 on Medium, $595 on Hard, and $660 on Impoppable.

Strategy[]
Summary[]
Blade Shooter gains a high amount of pierce for its cost, especially compared to BTD5, making a Blade Shooter in BTD6 useful against grouped bloons in the earlier rounds. The downside is that a Blade Shooter still has low range, but placing it along a corner should maximize its pierce. Its high pierce potential in the early-game makes it popular in Race Events, especially those that enable Blade Maelstrom.
Tips[]
- 2-3-0 Blade Shooter is more effective for the extra attack speed. 0-3-2 Blade Shooter shoots more blades, but it loses out on just over double attack speed from the Path 1 upgrades.
Version History[]

- ???
- Blade Shooter now has more pierce (5 → 6)

Trivia[]
- One non-crosspathed Blade Shooter in BTD6 placed in Medium Difficulty costs $215 less than a non-crosspathed Blade Shooter in BTD5 placed on Medium Difficulty. This is due to the Blade Shooter upgrade costing $130 less, the Super Range Tacks upgrade costing $5 less, and the base Tack Shooter upgrade costing $80 less.
- The slightly increased attack speed of a BTD6 Blade Shooter could be a small nod to the BTD3 Blade Shooter, whose previous upgrade Faster Shooting involves faster attack speed.
- Unlike its Bloons TD 5 counterpart, this upgrade changes the color of the tower from pink to blue instead of retaining the pink color.
