Laser Blasts is the first upgrade on path 1 of the Super Monkey in BTD5. It shoots at the same rate as the Super Monkey's darts, but each projectile can pop two bloons instead of one (having +1 extra pierce), as with the darts. It can also pop Frozen bloons.

It costs $2975 on Easy, $3500 on Medium, $3780 on Hard, and $4200 on Impoppable.

Tips[]

This upgrade is best used in mid-game lower class bloon rushes (such as Zebras and Rainbow bloons). This may be underestimated for its low pierce with high cost, but it can successfully thin out or even destroy at lower class bloon rush. Two of these can take out the round 79 rainbow rush and do lots of damage to the BFBs.

Trivia[]

This upgrade costs the same as the base cost of the Super Monkey in BTD5 in easy mode.
Despite having seemingly the same number of projectiles, a Robo Monkey with Laser Vision (1-3) is in fact better than a regular Super Monkey with Laser Vision (1-2).
Because the collision detection works differently on BTD5 Mobile, both lasers will do damage to MOAB-class bloons unlike its flash counterpart where both lasers will only register as one hit. This also applies when compared to Plasma Blasts, dealing half the damage. This can also apply with the Sun God, when all three sun projectiles hit the bloon at the same time.
This upgrade cannot pop Lead Bloons, although realistically is should seem to be able to.
