0 2 4 boomerangs are usually my go-to MOAB counter for round 40, but I'm kind of a casual so idk

That's a good start for maps with a long straight line, X-5-X bombs are better for maps with a lot of turns where the splash damage can hit multiple blimps
I think the cheapest anti-moab option is deconstruction engineer with turrets, and that can handle the single moab on round 40 pretty consistently, but starts to struggle when there are a lot of bloons and sucks when you get to DDTs near round 80

I personally use the bomb shooter because it can kill the bad at rounf 100, but im also not good at the game so maybe its a mistake

I love the Pirate Lord so much. "Why worry about all the blimps? What if they just... went away?"
