Why Is Nobody Using This INSANE Tower? (Bloons TD 6)

The Special Poperations Tier 5 Heli and the Marine in BTD6 are absolutely amazing! This tower costs only about $30k but for that amount it comes with a lot of benefits, and when you properly buff it with the right ttowers i destroys everything by itself in Bloons TD 6!

Honestly I think they should just make the Marine permanent when placed, but double the cooldown, and using the cooldown again will move the Marine instead of placing another one, that way it's not that much micro.

@DrewBoivie 2 месяца назад

Yep. I say it every time the topic comes up. Mid heli is crazy underrated. And its twice as good outside of CHIMPS where it makes $6k every ability use. Disregarding income, mid heli has about as much popping power per $ spent as the other two helis IF you use marine on cooldown. And then there's all the beautiful doorgunner options.

@Gwise101Shrek 2 месяца назад

This tower is actually my strategy for going ultra late game because it carries for a long time so it gives time for farming Edit: i forgot to mention, but another reason this is such a good strategy is that this tower eventually pays for its self as long as your not playing on chimps, which not a lot of people do in ultra late game.

@bradw8102 2 месяца назад

The main reason I've used this tower is for its lucrative crates, especially on boss events. I've used the marine to clear up a round more quickly where time penalties exist, such as ranked boss modes and CT Boss tiles.

@perfectiondreamusa 2 месяца назад

marine should get permanently placed, you use a button in the ui to move it like you move any other tower, and the ability lets you place a second marine for 5 seconds every 25 seconds. boom fixed

@EhtesamUddinPrince 2 месяца назад

Exactly, technically this would be a small nerf as you can no longer have 2 marines on the screen, but I doubt that would change the DPS too much.

@FrostyTheCookie 2 месяца назад

That would just make it incredibly boring imo. It's okay to have some micro towers for the players that enjoy it. My actual issue with marine is Chinook being so minimally useful in chimps.

There are pros and cons about this tower compared to heli, its upgrade is rather cheap but slightly weaker, with less uptime then heli, but gets way better value out of damage buffs, but could be spammed in order have full uptime in a way, or all used at once to shred high hp moabs, or just homeland could be effective.

@TheBeardedFrogSage 2 месяца назад

Because in live fire environments you rarely have the time and money to deploy this thing in time to prevent a loss. If the price wasn't so high, yes, I would use it more often. Unfortunately all the helicopter upgrades tend to be a wee bit too expensive to be anything but niche strategy. Once I get 302 and 203 that's about all I use it for, sometimes I'll go for that ~20k just to go Apache, but it's usually the last upgrade I do after all the other stuff I have to have up first to deal with the blitz waves.

@Marsman3354 2 месяца назад

unless you only play on medium difficulty you have more than enough cash to afford the T5 helis. a hard difficulty game gives a total of a little under 100k cash and a game of chimps/impoppable is a little under 180k. Tier 5 helis are absolutely affordable since they cost between 50k-70k and are a very viable DPS option on a lot of maps. Even with the total cost in mind the inbetween upgrades of Commanche/Dartship are still very good and usually allow for an easy saveup to the Tier 5s which provide very good DPS for the rest of the game

@thegloatingstorm8323 2 месяца назад

I think the problem with mid heli is similar to what happened with mid mortar For reference: middle path mortar didn’t have an ability till much later which left the tier 4 as a very awkward stepping stone to the tier 5. Obviously the tier 4 heli has an ability, 2 even, but it has no equivalent to the marine which makes the transition super awkward

not having to sell towers to replace/fix/create space for other towers is a pretty good ability on my book, i normally use t5 when im going for 205 villages(round 200+ or bosses) to get discounts for farms and low range/expensive towers so just a bit longer duration would help a lot
