The Anti-Bloon

The Anti-Bloon turns Tech Terror's ability into a real nuke. Annihilation damage rises from 2,600 to 10,400 (15,600 on every third use), the radius grows from 70 to 120 units and the cooldown drops from 45 to 30 seconds. The guns improve too: damage per shot goes from 1 to 5, crit damage from 10 to 50, pierce from 7 to 12, range from 72 to 82, and crits now land every 13 to 17 shots.

When to buy it

Only when you have a healthy economy. The jump from Tech Terror is steep, so in normal games you usually need farms, a Bank or a long freeplay run. Most players buy it in two situations:

• Freeplay, as a required piece of the Vengeful True Sun God (it must be on the map, outside the Temple's range).
• Boss events or tough late rounds where a 30 second nuke clears waves the rest of your defense struggles with.

Keep the 0-5-2 crosspath for knockback and camo damage, or 0-5-1 when camo detection is handled elsewhere. Activate the ability manually on the densest part of a round.

Is it worth it?

In CHIMPS it is rarely worth the cash: other $70,000-range options like Tsar Bomba or a high-tier MOAB killer fix more of the late game, and The Anti-Bloon still needs help against DDTs. In freeplay it is worth it mainly as a step toward the VTSG. Against bosses its main attack and nuke both scale fine, but Paragons usually give more damage per dollar.
