How to use Great White

Great White replaces the Barracuda and raises Beast Power to 8, up to 24 with merges. Instead of quick bites, it leaps at set intervals, latches onto a Bloon or MOAB-class Bloon (Lead included) and thrashes around it, hitting nearby Bloons for 12 to 36 damage with 10 to 30 pierce. If the target can be killed outright, it is dragged into the water and destroyed. At max Beast Power it can drag down MOABs. Range goes up to 40.

When to buy it

Great White is mostly a support damage tower:

  • It is good at slowing a single MOAB-class Bloon, such as the round 40 MOAB.
  • At Power 24 it handles MOABs well, and its thrash clears groups around them.
  • It has noticeable downtime between leaps, so it can be a step down from a Power 6 Barracuda against constant streams of Bloons.

Merge Great Whites or lower water beasts into it to raise power on the way to Orca.

Is it worth it?

As a step to Orca, yes. On its own, only at high Beast Power, and still with another tower to cover its downtime.
