'''Comanche Defense''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Heli Pilot the ability to summon mini Comanche [[Sub-tower|sub-towers]] when Bloons reach certain thresholds along the track. Mini Comanches fly fast towards its targets, spawning from the edge of the map closest to them, and are equipped with faster-firing darts and high-damage missiles.

This upgrade also increases the [[damage]] of Heli Pilot's main darts from 1 to 2. This upgrade enhances the missile granted by [[MOAB Shove (BTD6)|MOAB Shove]], increasing its damage from 2 to 3, increasing its [[pierce]] from 10 to 30, and reducing its [[Attack ~~Cooldown~~|attack cooldown]] by 66.67%, effectively tripling its attack speed. Comanche Defense also enhances the MOAB pushback of MOAB Shove.

Comanche Defense is a decent DPS tower when optimizing the timing of its mini-Comanches, especially with synergies that directly buff it and its mini-Comanches, such as [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]] and [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]]. The improved shove is mild but does assist its capability to control blimps before the mini-Comanches trigger too soon. While its DPS is above average when all of them are active, it greatly struggles on rounds that are long, reaching ~~the~~ usage caps sooner. Without ~~them~~, its DPS is ~~much worse~~.

Comanche Defense has a smooth transition to [[Comanche Commander (BTD6)|Comanche Commander]], due to the low T5 cost ~~and reasonable mid-game carry if~~ combined with defenses that account for its downtime. ~~Comanche Defense~~ can ~~also~~ be ~~used as a spammable option~~ against [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] during [[Boss Rush]], or ~~one or two~~ for casual [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions ~~as a backup when Bloons start to progress too far~~.

Comanche Defense is mostly used as either a mid-game carry or simply for the damage burst when Bloons get far. It has a smooth transition to [[Comanche Commander (BTD6)|Comanche Commander]], due to the low T5 cost. Comanche Defense still should be combined with defenses that account for its downtime. When used only for the burst, it can be spammed against [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] during [[Boss Rush]], or a few for casual [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions.

1-0-4 is preferred because it directly increases DPS of both Comanches, with 2-0-4 ~~useful for~~ automatic use so that other defenses can be micromanaged. 0-1-4 ~~is not very effective because the~~ shove bonus and flight speed bonuses are minimal, and ~~does not add~~ extra DPS. 0-2-4 is only used ~~for~~ specifically ~~dealing with~~ Camo.
