Lightsabre Thrower is the final upgrade for the Boomerang Thrower in Bloons TD 4. It can pop up to 70 bloons before its lightsabre returns. The lightsabre is also capable of popping Lead Bloons. This upgrade is good for swarms of bloons because it can pop many of them. The thrown lightsabres spin as they move, chopping up bloons on each side that contact the blades.

It costs $1,575 on Easy, $1,850 on Medium and $2,000 on Hard.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

An excellent source of popping swarms of bloons with its high pierce and incredible rate of damage while thrown.

Tips[]

  • The lightsabres actually can do lots of damage against MOAB-class bloons on flash because of their immense pierce. On mobile, because the same projectile cannot rehit bloons irregardless of how much pierce it has, this does not apply.
  • The Double Ranga Premium Upgrade is very useful with this tower because the premium upgrade can enable this tower to throw two lightsabres at once causing a lot of damage to bloons.

Trivia[]

  • When the iPhone/iPod version was initially released, the lightsabre of the Lightsabre Thrower was single-bladed, while the online version is double-bladed. This has since been fixed.
  • The Lightsabre Thrower's lightsabre appears to be similar to the lightsabre of the Star Wars comic book character Jastus Farr.
  • This upgrade is possibly based off of the Lightsabre Bloon
  • The upgrade did not return in Bloons TD 5 due to legal reasons, as it was based off of Star Wars' Lightsabers, potentially infringing on copyright from Star Wars.
    • It is likely permanently replaced by Glaive Ricochet/Red Hot 'Rangs (for the pierce and lead popping) with the addition of seeking.
    • The capability for contact damage and the high pierce was given to Kylie Boomerang in Bloons TD 6, albeit less of a pierce increase than the Lightsabre Thrower, and it is thrown in a straight line instead of a curved throw like the Lightsabre Thrower.
