Strategy[]

Summary[]

The faster projectile speed is helpful for catching faster bloons better, while the further increased attack speed increases consistency of each shot. Together, they are helpful for maximizing DPS of the basic attacks.

Tips[]

  • This upgrade is a good crosspath for both Glaive Lord and MOAB Domination.
  • 1-2-0 is a solid combo for early rounds for consistent attack speed with enough pierce to shred most bloon rounds.
  • Note that Glaives also increases projectile speed too.
