Highwayman Jericho Dashing Rogue
A debonair scoundrel who'll steal your money and your heart. Not paying his ransom can be costly indeed. Cost $850 XP curve ×1 (type 2) Roles Money Maker Saboteur Difficulty 4/5 Hero Alt of Agent Jericho Introduced Version 1.10

Highwayman Jericho is a Hero Alt of Agent Jericho in Bloons TD Battles 2, introduced in version 10.0. He costs  5,000 Monkey Money and 40,000 Agent Jericho Hero Points to unlock.

Highwayman Jericho uses a flintlock pistol to attack Bloons within his range, dealing 3 damage per shot. He cannot pop frozen Bloons or Lead Bloons and cannot detect Camo Bloons. He is very similar to Agent Jericho, with his only gameplay differences being his Activated Abilities. As he levels up, his range, damage, and attack speed increase, he gains Camo detection, and he unlocks multiple passive and active methods of disrupting the opponent.

• Starting at level 2, he periodically adds an extra layer to natural Bloons on the opponent's side. At higher levels, he can add Bloon Mods and enhance sent Bloons as well.
• Starting at level 4, he reduces the cost of sending Bloons with Bloon Mods.
• He has two Activated Abilities:
  • Stand and Deliver (level 3) — Steals a certain amount of cash from the opponent and forcibly sells one of their towers if they do not have enough cash saved. At higher levels, it steals more cash.
  • Misdirection (level 10) — Moves the strongest MOAB or BFB on the player's side to the opponent's side. At higher levels, it can also move DDTs and ZOMGs and can heal the Bloon it sends.

Differences from Agent Jericho

This section is empty. You can help out by adding to it.

Mechanics

Pistol

Jericho fires a shot with his pistol every 0.9 seconds that deals 3 sharp-type damage. Each shot collides with the target instantly without any travel time and can only hit one Bloon. Its pierce cannot be buffed.

Levels

Level	Effect
6	Attack cooldown reduces from 0.9 seconds to 0.45 seconds, effectively doubling his attack speed.
7	Base damage increases from 3 to 5. Range increases from 40 units to 70 units. Can now target and hit Camo Bloons.
12	Pierce increases from 1 to 2. Each shot can now re-hit the target if it did not pop it, or jump to a new target within a 12-unit radius if it did, after 0.1 seconds. If it jumps, it attempts to follow Jericho's targeting, though it will default to the closest Bloon if it is not reachable.
16	Pierce increases to 3. Damage increases to 12.
19	Damage increases to 20.

Bloon Adjustment

Bloon Adjustment is a passive mechanic that unlocks at level 2. It causes every fourth natural Bloon that spawns on the opponent's side to gain an extra layer. It cannot add layers to Purple Bloons, Lead Bloons, Ceramic Bloons, or MOAB-Class Bloons. Adjusted White Bloons and Black Bloons both become Zebra Bloons.

Levels

Level	Effect
5	Adjusted Bloons now also gain a random applicable Bloon Mod (Camo, Regrow, Phayze, or Fortified), including Ceramics and MOAB-Class.
8	Now applies to every other Bloon.
13	Adjusted Bloons now gain two random Bloon Mods. For MOAB-Class Bloons, this means they always gain Fortified and Phayze.
15	Now also affects sent Bloons.

Bloon Mod buffs

Starting at level 4, Jericho is able to reduce the cost modifiers of Bloon Mods for Bloon sends.

Levels

Level	Effect
4	Reduces the Regrow Bloon cost modifier from ×1.6 to ×1.4.
7	Also reduces the Camo Bloon cost modifier from ×1.75 to ×1.4.
9	Also reduces the Fortified Bloon cost modifier from ×2 to ×1.7 for all Bloons that can be Fortified except BADs.
20	Now applies the reduced Fortified Bloon cost modifier to BADs.

Abilities

Stand and Deliver

This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: How much money does Jericho steal if he cannot sell a tower to make the difference? Is the tiebreaker system actually random?

Stand and Deliver is unlocked at level 3. It steals $200 from the opponent and gives it to the player. If the opponent has less than the required amount when the ability is activated, it attempts to forcibly sell one non-Hero tower on the opponent's side, returning 100% of its cash value to the opponent instead of the usual 70%, before stealing their cash. It normally picks the lowest cost tower that makes up the difference, but if there are no towers that make up the difference, the highest cost tower is chosen instead. If multiple towers have the same cost, the game seemingly picks one target at random. If no eligible towers are on-screen, no tower is sold.

It has a 100-second cooldown and a 35-second initial cooldown. Jericho stops using his pistol attack for 0.8 seconds after activating the ability.

Towers being sacrificed by Adora can still be force-sold, causing the sacrifice to get interrupted.

Levels

Level	Effect
6	Amount stolen increases to $650.
9	Amount stolen increases to $1,000.
11	Amount stolen increases to $1,300.
14	Amount stolen increases to $2,500.
19	Cooldown reduces to 60 seconds.

Misdirection

Misdirection is unlocked at level 10. It causes Jericho to throw a seeking projectile that targets the strongest MOAB or BFB on the player's side. The projectile can pass through line of sight blockers and through Bloons that are not the target. On contact, it deals no damage, but inflicts an effect on the target that makes it untargetable by all towers, immune to all damage, unable to collide with projectiles, and move at the same speed as a ZOMG (including speed ramping in later rounds) for 3 seconds. When the effect ends, the target disappears and reappears on the opponent's natural Bloon path.

This ability has an 80-second cooldown and a 20-second initial cooldown. After activation, it skips 75% of its cooldown if the target is a MOAB or 50% if it is a BFB. Jericho stops using his pistol attack for 1 second after activating the ability.

Levels

Level	Effect
12	Can now target DDTs.
15	Can now target ZOMGs.
17	Now fully heals the target after redirecting it.
20	Base cooldown reduces from 80 seconds to 16 seconds.

2	Bloon Adjustment - Periodically enhance a single natural bloon on the opponent's side with an extra layer.

14	Stand and Deliver steals $2500.

Popular loadouts

Ace-Engie-Farm Bomb-Sub-Farm

Highwayman Jericho, while outshadowed by his strong Agent counterpart in versatility and Star Captain counterpart in rushing potential, can still work as a more defensive Jericho. Like the other Jerichos, he requires a strong two tower combo to defend all the rounds, as his pistol is rather weak at defending against grouped Bloons, alongside Banana Farm in order to supply money for rushes.

His Stand and Deliver provides some money generation and can sometimes provide rushing opportunities when the weakest tower is sold, but it has a long cooldown. Because of this, Highwayman Jericho on round 1 is almost never worth it, as the second use of Stand and Deliver should be delayed to when he reaches level 6 and gains more money off of it. His Misdirection ability can shore up a weakness against spaced BFBs or DDTs when they first appear, forcing opponents to send more of them to pressure or not send it at all.

Like all Jerichos, his Bloon Adjustment is strong in forcing early camo detection and providing defensive struggles on tougher rounds in the late 10s and early 20s.
