'''Heroic Specialty''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|49.0}}. While active, all Heroes count as a specific [[tower category]]. The Rare version reduces Hero XP by 30% as a tradeoff. Heroes gain the following categories:
*'''[[Primary]]''': [[Quincy (BTD6)|Quincy]], [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]], [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]], [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]]
*'''[[Military]]''': [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]], [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)|Captain Churchill]], [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]]
*'''[[Magic]]''': [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]], [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]], [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]], [[Psi (BTD6)|Psi]], [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]
*'''[[Support]]''': [[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]], [[Etienne (BTD6)|Etienne]], [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]], [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]], [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]], [[Dan D'Monke (BTD6)|Dan D'Monke]]
Combining Heroic Specialty with any category-buffing Artifact (e.g. Captain Churchill with [[Conscription]]) will count the Hero as if they were a normal tower affected by that Artifact.


The following Heroes count as specific categories:
==Tips==
*'''Primary''': [[Quincy (BTD6)|Quincy]], [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]], [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]], [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]]
{{BTD6 last updated|56.3|section=1}}
*'''Military''': [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]], [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)|Captain Churchill]], [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]]
*This Artifact is basically a watered down version of [[One Monkey Army]] that only counts Heroes by one tower category, but does not affect the damage output of other towers in exchange.
*'''Magic''': [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]], [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]], [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]], [[Psi (BTD6)|Psi]], [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]
*With [[Unification]], [[Conscription]], [[Monkey Academy (BTD6)|Monkey Academy]], [[Master of all Trades]], or [[Essence Of Dreadbloon]] (if the Hero is Level 15 or higher), Heroes can count for all tower categories, opening up more room for category-specific synergies which shine on Endless CHIMPS campaigns when the player has amassed a large amount of Artifacts.
*'''Support''': [[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]], [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]], [[Etienne (BTD6)|Etienne]], [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]], [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]]
**Heroes who count as Primary gain more advantage, such as normal Quincy who begins with this Artifact, as Unification is the only one of the category-buffing Artifacts that have a Common version (the others are Rare or higher).
*Before getting Artifacts that count specific tower categories as all categories, note the Hero's specified category as above and choose Boosts and Artifacts that synergize with that category. Prime examples include [[Critical Success]], [[Squadron Together Strong]], [[Pure Damage]] or [[Support Specialist]] in addition to any Inspiration, Precision or Quickening Artifact of the corresponding category.
**An example of this interaction in the early game is [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]] (regular skin) which can benefit from [[Heightened Perception]] right away.
*This artifact has no effect on the XP per pop from [[Battlefield Commission]], effectively bypassing the downside of the Rare version. This can be a decent strategy for starting Artifacts on a Hero-focused build.
