Riptide Champion: Difference between revisions

'''Riptide Champion''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It throws single freezing tridents that grow in size and damage as they travel, each producing two opposing wavelets laterally from the initial projectiles after expiring. Additionally, the tower gains +4 base range (from 28 to 32), and slower projectile speed, but attacks every 1.5 seconds instead of 1.2 seconds.

The trident deals 4 damage, +2 Frozen damage, and scales damage at a steady rate of 50% per second as it travels (75% per second with 2-3-0) as it travels. Projectiles are capped at ×2 scaling (×3 with 2-3-0), but expire earlier. Tide splits have 4 damage and do not scale damage, unlike the trident, and lose projectile size as they travel. Bloons are frozen for 1 second, with 50% penalty against [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s (0.5 seconds).

===Trident===

Tridents grow in projectile radius and damage at a steady rate of 50% per second and create two wavelets at 180° spread that deal non-scaling damage and lose projectile size as they travel. Tridents have 25 pierce, 4 damage, +2 damage to frozen Bloons, and 1.5385 seconds projectile lifespan. It has a projectile speed of 130.

 

With [[Trident Swiftness]] (2-3-0), projectile speed increases to 195 but lasts 1.0256 seconds, resulting in about the same projectile distance, and scales damage at 75% per unit time, resulting in the same damage when expired by time.  

 

With [[Echosense Precision]], the Trident now seeks at a turn rate of 169°/s.
