Version History (Bloons TD Battles Mobile)[]
Boomerang Thrower is often used for its anti-Regrow capabilities and as a fair early-game starting tower (somewhat expensive to get up but can defend pretty much everything up to round 8 by itself). Its slight flexibility also allows it to be useful for dealing with many types of bloons. It is often paired with the Ninja Monkey or another Camo-popping tower for combating Camo Bloons.
With its buffs, it is now more suitable for early-game and early-mid-game. This is especially true for Turbo Charge and Glaive Lord as both can be used in emergencies against Camo bloons, especially against Camo Leads and Camo bloon rushes. Popular loadouts include Buccaneer Farm Boomerang, Heli Farm Boomerang, and Ninja Farm Boomerang. Boomerang Farm Spike Factory has also seen some use, though it's more of a "fun" loadout rather than a serious one. Boomerang COBRA Village used to be a popular loadout in normal arenas but it eventually fell out of use (mainly due to the COBRA nerfs).

| “ | Last up is the Boomer. The Glaive Lord is a relatively common upgrade to see on the battlefield but it's second upgrade path severely lacks in camo detection. Giving Turbo Charge the ability to detect camo bloons when active should help us see more souped-up glaives flying across the arenas! | ” |
