She costs $950 in the game and fires seeking stakes at Bloons, similar to a Monkey Ace with Neva-Miss Targeting.

Strategies[]

Hunter Marceline is extremely powerful in the late game. Her Mass Soul Sucking upgrade allows her to rack up incredible pop counts in the Martian Games (especially with the Send in the Clones rule) at high rounds, four or five times more than powerful characters like Gunter with Orgalorg upgrade (who still suffers from limited range despite the immense damage output). She is also the only hero character (besides Marceline, Warrior Bubblegum's Candy Copters, and Commander Cassie's planes) with unlimited attack range before equipping any items, and her attacks go through Line of Sight obstacles. Her stake throwing rate rivals base Supermonkey, and with Demon Heart equipped, she can do SERIOUS (precisely +4) damage to any bloon. She is also one of the very fast attacking heroes that can equip items that Supermonkey and Commander Cassie cannot, which involve stun trinkets (Giant Tranq, Wizard Nunchuks), Baker's Shard, and Engineers Blueprints. (and more)

Hunter Marceline can remove Regrowth properties from bloons, even if they are leads.

Baker's Shard will benefit her greatly as she already has high attack speed, this coupled with her damage, infinite range and soul sucking can make her a very powerful tower.

Use Straight or Circular pathing where it will allow her to pass over the most track as it will benefit her soul sucking.

Despite her having infinite range her soul sucking does not so place her close to the track to allow her to benefit from the sucking.

Sucked M.O.A.Bs take additional damage from other towers so place her where she can suck the most of them.

She (and others?) is the only tower who is able to pop all bloon types without Tuxedo Jake's Inspiring Melody upgrade (requires her to suck that bloon type).

Trivia[]

  • Hunter Marceline is less expensive at her base price than Marceline and only $335-$1835 more expensive when fully upgraded. Somehow this is enough to get classified in Hunter Marceline's cons section as "expensive".
