2-3-0 Mauler reloading
MOAB Mauler is the 3rd upgrade on Path 2 of the Bomb Shooter in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart, except much cheaper and utilizes the BTD6 pre-32.0 damage values.
Each shot deals 19 damage to MOAB-class, and explosions hit up to 14 bloons at base (20 with 1-3-0, 30 with 2-3-0). Additionally, it adds +5 range on top of the Missile Launcher upgrade, for a total of 49 range (56 with 0-3-1). It attacks every 0.825s. The 0-3-2 crosspath allows Mauler's explosions to damage Black Bloon properties, including DDTs.
It costs $900, and is unlocked by default.
Strategy[]
Summary[]
Packs with high grouped MOAB-class damage for low cost, particularly against early MOABs. Similarly to BTD6, a MOAB Mauler is best paired with additional MOAB Maulers and bloon defenses such as Cluster Bombs, in addition to the hero Striker Jones. As a focused grouped MOAB-class popping tower, it is often worth setting it on Strong to maximize the extra damage to MOAB-class bloons, though occasionally on First to focus on the first-most MOAB-class bloons.
Tips[]
- Crosspaths play a noticeable role in the Mauler's performance. It doesn't need crosspaths to suffice in MOAB-class damage, but 1-3-0 is generally best for the extra pierce and bigger blast radius.
- In case your loadout does not contain Striker Jones/Biker Bones, is it recommended to go for 0-3-2 instead for DDTs, although MOAB Assassins can do the job usually.
- Maulers also pair well with Biker Bones, who can double damage with his Artillery Fire ability.
- Many types of towers have relatively reliable anti-MOAB options for an inexpensive cost. However, the low-costing MOAB Mauler is quite notable for its capability to affect multiple MOAB-class bloons at once within a local area.

Trivia[]
- Despite the Version 1.4.1 nerf removing Ceramic bonus, MOAB Mauler's description still mentioned the Ceramic damage bonus. This was fixed in Version 1.4.2, although the description lacked a full stop before Version 4.0.3.
