Strategy[]
Summary[]
More damage and pops Lead. For early-game, useful for popping stronger bloons. As a crosspath, often the best crosspath for top path and situational crosspath for middle path.
Tips[]
- Red Hot Rangs is an average upgrade on its own, which enables the Boomerang to deal 1 extra damage and pop Frozen and Lead bloons.
- Its main use arises from crosspathing.
- Top Path crosspath are generally better for Middle Path Boomerang upgrades, as middle path already is a damage powerhouse in the higher tiers.
- For Top Path Boomerangs, however, Red Hot Rangs essentially doubles their popping power due to them only having 1 damage. Using a Berserker Brew or higher makes crossing the top path with the middle path better for DPS.
Version History[]
With the introduction of limited path crosspaths in BTD6, Red Hot Rangs was considered one of the weaker crosspaths for Upper Path 1 and Upper Path 2, so a damage buff has been added to the Red Hot Rangs upgrade to encourage crosspath variety.
- 7.0
- Red Hot Rangs deals +1 damage to all bloons.
- Red Hot Rangs costs more ($150 → $300).
- 26.0
- Affected by base Boomerang Monkey attack speed buff.
