Struggling to find a use for the bomb shooter

[<#76428a>Sharkbilby]

I find that it's too expensive and slow to be worth investing in.
The top path is great for stunning bloons, however even when upgraded the slow attack speed of the bomb shooter makes its stuns inconsistent, and the tier 5 upgrade is way more expensive than just buying an icicle impale or relentless glue gunner.

The middle path is good for moabs, but I personally don't struggle with those anymore and know many other towers that fill said role better.

The bottom path is great for dealing with ceremics, but that's another problem I have solutions to that are simultaneously better and cheaper (elite defender and prince of darkness especially wreck both moabs and ceramics) and any ability that requires you to lose lives to activate just sucks. It also falls off hard when dealing with super ceramics and requiring two shots to activate more clusters means the tower either has a lot of downtime and inconsistency or you buy another, which is where you can start getting better solutions for your money.


Is the bomb shooter weak, outclassed or do I just have no idea what I'm doing?

140 druids litteraly instakill anything under a moab and have global range and give up to like 1100 bananas per ability {depending on the farm situation} also they cost less then top tree t4 druid

They specialise in different things to the top path and I don't remember a t4 middle path costing less than a t3 top.
Also, they give 1100 bananas per ability? I doubt that, with 1100x20 equating to 22,000 cash.

t4 top tree is ball lightning which is what u were talking about unless u meant druid of the storm which is also terrible compared to mid t3 druid

mid t4 druid ability gives money based on the ammount of farms in its range so 1100 ish is more or less its max

1100 cash not bananas* lol

mid tree druid outclasses everything for ad clear and makes the money back

Only the tier 5 truly specialises in that, all the upgrades below focus on support, while their added damage is disappointing for their cost. Necromancers and the prince of darkness cover this better. Not only that, the tier 3 top path druid is cheap and works great vs ceramics, outclassing the bomb shooter in cost, and the tier 4 top path outclasses the bomb shooter in the late game. The bomb shooter falls inbetween a really niche middle ground where I simply never come across.

bro, druid of the jungle hard carries midgame bloon damage. you could spam a few of those T3s and just shred non-moabs. what do you mean support???

bomb slight coolness but use is no

It's just a worse top path sniper in that regard. Of course they focus on support.

not to fan the flames, but i use moab mauler in nearly 100% of my games
its just a nice cheap moab nuker so that my other towers can deal with the guts
i think the other paths are cool but i always forget about them because i like other towers aestetics (asthetics?) better :)

Tier 4 sniper - global range, instakills anything below moabs
Tier 4 druid - global range, instakills anything below moabs
Also, we're forgetting bomb shooter :(

except sniper can only kill a few while druid kills everything everything>anything

[imag2OOO]

also t4 sniper is double the price of t4 druid

I'll have to try but last time I tried the t4 druid it sucked.

2x t3's is better bang for your buck... until rush rounds. T4 gets a giant pierce increase on top of the 2nd vine.
t3 druid and top sniper both suffer against multiple ceramics, but druid will also clear other trash between shots and sniper will kill ceramics faster or kill things next to the ceramics.

A tier 3 won't instakill them and I don't think a tier 5 can instakill anything above a moab
