What is the cheapest moab killer?

[OrganicCheese]

Level 40 moabs start spawning what is the cheapest moab killer to purchase that can deal with them early that costs hardly anything? moab mauller sucks before someone recommends it.

moab mauler is good

He's right. Nothing is cheaper than MOAB Mauler that's good against MOABs

[Borracha]

An underrated opinion of mine is the dart monkey with the Sharp Shooter upgrade + an alchemist 2x2x0 so he can buff the Sharp Shooter. A crit will rip the MOAB apart, dealing lots of damage and getting it close to popping

moab mauler is the cheapest.

3.0.0 buckaneer
3.2.0 engineer
x.0.2 / x.0.3 sub

those might help.

But mauler is cheapest.

im hearing "whats a good moab killer AND ceramic cleanup" not "whats a good moab killer" with that attitude about moab mauler. im strawmanning you for your own good.

2-4-0 boomerang + 0-2-2 ice + 1-3-0 druid ON STRONG
x-3-x wizard + 0-2-4 dart
two 3-2-0 engineer + two 2-0-3 bomb
super monkey + 1-3-0 druid ON FIRST
Churchill + 4-x-x dart + x-x-4 dart
3-0-2 heli
1-3-0 spike + sauda leap
3-x-x ace + sauda leap

310 buccaneer is much better
420 engi can clean up insides too

To be honest, I rarely make use of anti-moab towers specifically.

MOAB-Mauler is decent if you want something just against MOAB class. But obviously it's not going to do much more beyond that.

I personally like both 3-X-X monkey Ace and 0-2-4 Boomerang. The 0-2-4 Boomerang monkey can hold it's ground solidly well in my opinion.

I love to build a 2-4-0 moab mauler before round 40 to oneshot the moab with the special ability, but my favourite alternative is the 0-2-4 dart monkey, which is cheaper, but not oneshotting.

[Hiroko]

for a single moab, 003 heli will also do the trick, and can guarantee moab pops at start of track

for tracks where the lane(s) cross or get very close to crossing, especially near the start and end of the track respectively, xx3 spike set to close in just the right spot so that moab hitbox clips them on the first pass but regular trash bloons miss. I lovingly call these zones "blender zones."

Both of these methods are extremely effective early on, but fall off as number of moabs increases.

Eh, i don't recommend using just a "cheap" moab killer.
What i recommend is using a tower you can get to work later as well.
So some heroes can do wonders.
As to what cleans moabs... almost all towers can destroy moabs easily on easy maps.
And yes, moab mauler is bad later because it doesn't deal with super ceramics, but you are supposed to upgrade it to t5 for one of the simplest way of dealing with bad.

[Ackranome]

moab mauler for moabs - you need something to clean up the ceramics - like glue.

[Blueberry {JESUS IS LORD}]

250 sniper then for ceramics

[Tansetsu]

202 sub is good damage with global range but requires water. It also doubles as early game defense and synergizes well with alchemist. Also requires additional towers for vision.

220 dartling can be used if no water is available, though it needs help at dealing with the bloons from previous rounds. Line of sight is also an issue on some maps.

3xx ace can bypass line of sight obstructions, but isn't good for short maps, plus it can't clean up the ceramics. Going on all in 4xx is recommended before round 52.

024 dart has very good transitional upgrades and can double as both early moab and camo defense. With lucky enough crits, it can even blast straight through the ceramics, though it serves little purpose late game without upgrading to crossbow master.

3x0 boat is about double the price of a mauler and requires water, but has very good transitional upgrades for early game defense and remains viable throughout the entire game due to good alchemist synergy and a strong tier 5.
