Laser Cannon is the final upgrade for the Dartling Gun in Bloons TD 4 and the third upgrade in the first path for the Dartling Gun in Bloons TD 5.In both games, it replaces the monkey's darts with laser projectiles. In BTD4, this upgrade is unlocked at rank 33. Each laser can pop 13 bloons in BTD4. Lasers from this tower can also pop frozen and lead bloons in BTD4. In BTD5, the upgrade gives the monkey a red jumpsuit and increases its attack speed by 15%. This upgrade still increases base pierce to 13 bot no longer grants lead popping, only frozen popping.

In BTD4, it costs $15,000 on Medium.

In BTD5, it costs $6,000 on Medium.

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.
