Strategy[]
Summary[]
In terms of firepower, six of these are roughly equal to a Sun God in Bloons TD 4. The advantage comes with unlimited range; Laser Cannon's firepower can be pinpointed anywhere in the map. It is also cheaper than a Sun God and fires half as fast.
In Bloons TD 5, this upgrade is much stronger than its predecessor upgrade, Faster Barrel Spin, being able to pop up to 13 bloons, including bloons that have been frozen, even though it still cannot pop lead bloons without Depleted Bloontonium Darts. Compared to its oppositely pathed upgrade, Hydra Rocket Pods, it is suited best shooting along the path, in order to utilise the 13 pierce. This can be able to pop Zebras and Rainbow rushes easily and can take down Ceramics if paired with other towers.
It is also recommended to use this at regular speed to take advantage of its accurate mouse following.
Tips[]
- Placing a Laser Cannon nearby a Village is recommended in BTD5, as this greatly reduces the costs for getting this upgrade.
