Admiral Brickell (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Admiral Brickell's pistol attack fires a shot at a target Bloon within her range every 0.8 seconds. Each shot collides with the target instantly (without any travel time) and produces a 0-radius area-of-effect (hitting all targets that meet its centerpoint) that hits up to 3 Bloons at a time and dealing 3 [[damage type|Sharp-type]] [[damage]]. Its [[pierce]] cannot be buffed.

A mine activates and homes in on a Bloon if it comes within 40 units of it. On contact, it deals 1 normal-type damage to the target Bloon and generates an explosion that deals 1 explosion-type damage to up to 20 Bloons in a 20-unit radius. Its pierce is affected by {{BTD6 mk|More 'Splody}}. It also explodes in place if it starts seeking a Bloon but fails to hit the target after 0.3 seconds, but it will not explode if it expires on its own or Brickell is sold. If a mine activates, other mines cannot activate for 0.4 seconds afterwards; this is not affected by attack speed buffs.

'''Blast Chain''' is unlocked at level 7. When activated, Brickell's sea mines have a 0.2-second delay between activations instead of a 0.4-second delay, and their movement speed while seeking Bloons is doubled, for 10 seconds. It does not affect Mega Mines. It has a 45-second cooldown.

'''Mega Mine''' is unlocked at level 10. It allows the player to deploy a massive mine anywhere on water on the map. The mine lasts for up to 150 seconds or 4 rounds, whichever comes first, and it disappears if Brickell is [[sell|sold]]. It activates and homes in on the first [[MOAB-Class Bloon]] that comes within 40 units of it, ignoring regular Bloons. It can target and hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. On contact, it generates an explosion that deals 4,000 normal-type damage to up to 100 Bloons (affected by {{BTD6 mk|More 'Splody}}) in a 120-unit radius, which does not soak through layers, and it stuns any Bloons that did not have any layers popped by the explosion for 5 seconds. The explosion can hit Bloons behind [[line of sight]] blockers. It also explodes in place if it starts seeking a Bloon but fails to hit the target after 0.2 seconds, but it will not explode if it expires on its own or Brickell is sold. The ability has a 60-second cooldown.

|Naval Tactics: greatly increases attack speed of Brickell and nearby water-based Monkeys for a short time.

Brickell's optimal strategy revolves around her abilities: Naval Tactics to boost other water towers and Mega Mines to take out many MOAB-class bloons. She works well with a water-focused defense.<!--seems obv but you can't assume naval tactics boost water towers is obv imply waterfocus is good--> Her buffs from Naval Tactics and her level 8+ pierce passive are effective for [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]] and [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Monkey Sub]] strategies, which generally have low pierce but rapid-fire projectiles. Middle-path [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]s are also recommended, as her best strategies often involve stalling.<!--needs elab, but I heard midice is good with her?-->
