Velociraptor is slow and weak for its cost, dealing poor damage to standard Bloons, insufficient pierce that causes it to struggle against swarms of weak Bloons, and needing merges to one-shot any standard Bloon except a normal Fortified [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]. It needs merges to have any value as a cleanup tower against standard Bloons. Its bonus stunned Bloon bonus is big enough to warrant applying stuns from [[Relentless Glue]] and similar stun supports.
