'''Apache Dartship''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. | '''Apache Dartship''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade grants Heli Pilot two new attacks, a machine gun and a missile launcher, and enhances its existing attacks. Additionally its base flight speed increases by 25%. | ||
The machine gun fires darts which deal 1 [[damage]], have 7 [[pierce]], and have an [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] of 0.05 seconds. These darts cannot damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] or [[Frozen Bloon|Frozen Bloons]]. The missile launcher fires 4 homing rockets per shot which deal 2 damage, have 40 pierce, and have an attack cooldown of 1 second. These rockets cannot damage [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloons]]. The missile launcher has a [[range]] of 84 [[Unit|units]], twice<!--84/42=2--> that of Heli Pilot's other attacks. | The machine gun fires darts which deal 1 [[damage]], have 7 [[pierce]], and have an [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] of 0.05 seconds.

Apache Dartship is an expensive but only decent T4 that takes down most mid-game rounds with ease on maps with one active entrance per round, due to its slow flight speed. Apache Dartship mostly stands out in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}} Least Tiers, where it can be a set-and-forget after upgrading from a buffed [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|Razor Rotors]]. In [[CHIMPS]], | Apache Dartship is an expensive but only decent T4 that takes down most mid-game rounds with ease on maps with one active entrance per round, due to its slow flight speed. Apache Dartship mostly stands out in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}} Least Tiers, where it can be a set-and-forget after upgrading from a buffed [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|Razor Rotors]]. It struggles against Fortified MOABs on shorter maps like [[Chutes]], and falls apart against Round 76 without support. In [[CHIMPS]], Apache only serves as a saveup to {{BTD6|Apache Prime}}, which still has the map weaknesses, but it pairs well with [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]] as she greatly discounts it and the T5. | ||
4-0-2 is preferred for optimal DPS as opposed to 4-2-0, whose flight speed boost is insufficient for multi-lane maps and [[Camo detection]] that is better bought elsewhere (outside of [[Least Tiers]] in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}}, {{BTD6|Odyssey}}s, etc). | 4-0-2 is preferred for optimal DPS as opposed to 4-2-0, whose flight speed boost is insufficient for multi-lane maps and [[Camo detection]] that is better bought elsewhere (outside of [[Least Tiers]] in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}}, {{BTD6|Odyssey}}s, etc). Not crosspathing is only necessary in Least Tiers scenarios. | ||
