===Lightning attack===
Geraldo holds a lantern that zaps Bloons, shooting lightning that immediately hits the target, creates an explosion on damage, and has 1.1s attack cooldown. The lightning has 1 unbuffable pierce, and deals 1 damage. The explosion has 10 blast radius, 1 damage, and 4 pierce. Neither the lightning nor the explosion can damage Lead Bloons, Purple Bloons or Glass Bloons ({{BTD6 dt|73}}-type damage). He starts with 40 range, and despite gaining range upgrades, this shouldn't really affect his items later on.

In the early-game, his [[Shooty Turret]]s help break down Bloons, compensating for Geraldo's generally low damage alone. [[Tube of Amaz-o-Glue]] is a simple-to-use slowdown. When buying [[Rare Quincy Action Figure]], try to buy it as soon as it's unlocked, then sell him after buying, which affords a 0-0-0 [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]] as soon as possible, to compensate the lack of direct income that other Heroes would have.

During the mid-game, use his [[Fertilizer]] onto [[Banana Research Facility (BTD6)|Banana Research Facility]] and [[Banana Central (BTD6)|Banana Central]] on modes that enable cash generation, elsewhere build the four [[Pet Rabbit]]s for efficient cleanup. In Boss Events that require [[Rejuv Potion]] for Tier 2 Boss, buy level 11 on round 55 so he stores 2 Rejuvs before round 60 begins.

Towards the late-game, conserving items and saving enough money for important supports outside his shop is important. In [[CHIMPS]], sometimes Geraldo must be placed later on Advanced and Expert Maps, so he times his level 20 restock during the 90s (rounds 92 and 98 are typical for the refresh). [[Rejuv Potion]], [[Genie Bottle]] (hyperdense rounds, DDTs, single-target), and [[Creepy Idol]] are the main carries for late-game if not considering income. [[See Invisibility Potion|Camo Potion]] can be considered for a range buff and extra DDT damage. His upgraded Shooty Turrets can be useful on maps with separated lanes (e.g. [[Dark Dungeons]]) or if needing to maximize DPS in Least Tiers. Upgraded [[Gerry's Fire]] can be considered on towers that have strong synergies with the flame spirits.
