Cattail

**Cattail** is a attacking plant that is available for Plants vs. Bloons.

## **Tower Info**

**Cattail** shoots homing thorns at Bloons which do excellent damage, but can only be planted on water. She can be upgraded to have more penetrative thorns to pop more Bloons, have more powerful thorns and unlock the nefarious Meow Laser ability to strike down the atrocities!

## **Strategy**

### **Summary**

Cattail plays as a water plant who shoots out seeking thorns at ferocious Bloons. Her main role is to pop Bloons but can only be placed on water which is the problem but shoots powerful thorns to make up for that. She has many powerful upgrades to help you deflate the ferocities with ease, but can be used to actually help you out during certain rounds and can help against Bloon rushes.

### **Tips**

* **Cattail** is a okay starting plant to help you hold the Bloons off. It's decently good piercing thorns especially when upgraded can help out during the early and mid game rounds whilst farming with Sunflowers to actually greed and farm more suns. Cattail has some powerful upgrades to make farming with Sunflowers more effective.
* **Cattail** has a lead weakness, everything besides Meow Laser cannot pop Lead Bloons.
* **Cattail's** Ability is very strong. Use it especially against stronger Bloons such as BFBs, you'll able to destroy them with ease. However, it'll take two or three Abilities to destroy a ZOMG or multiple ZOMGs before MOAB ramping begins.

## **Version History**

Cattail is a strong water plant overall with no balance changes being given directly to her before V3.5. She is a strong plant still, and she got buffed in V3.5 for her upgrade "Hyper Thorns" which makes it more effective against those bloons who are sneakily fatuous but will now get Rekt. Her Ability has been nerfed significantly to allow heavily grouped Bloons to outgroup the projectiles' pierce cap from Meow Laser, plus it'll increase her main attack damage to compensate for the nerf.

V3.5

* Hyper Thorns attack speed decreased (1s → 0.8s)
* Hyper Thorns now now further increases the lethality, homing effectiveness and movement speed/cut-off distance of Cattail's homing thorns (e.g. projectile movement speed and seeking angle).
* Meow Laser ability cyan laser pierce decreased from 20 → 15.
* Meow Laser now increases Cattail's base attack damage per homing thorn by 2 (from 5 → 7 per thorn).

V5.5

* Meow Laser ability cyan laser pierce decreased from 15 → 10.
