Lych-soul
Speed 17 (0.68× Red Bloon speed) (Normal Tier 1) 18 (0.72× Red Bloon speed) (Normal) 21 (0.84× Red Bloon speed) (Elite Tier 1) 23 (0.92× Red Bloon speed) (Elite) Size 40 units

The Lych-soul is a Boss Bloon in Bloons TD 6 that is summoned after Lych's health reaches a skull. While active, it summons undead MOABs at regular intervals, and Lych becomes invulnerable to all attacks until all existing Lych-souls are destroyed.

Mechanics

Spawning

Normal Lych summons 3 Lych-souls spaced around the track whenever reaching a skull threshold (2 at Tier 1), while Elite Lych instead summons 5 at all tiers.

Summons

Every 9 seconds, the Lych-soul will spawn an undead MOAB on its position. Undead MOABs have the same stats as the ones summoned by the current tier's Tombstones, but do not gain speed bonuses.

Properties

The Lych-soul has most properties and immunities of a Boss Bloon, but is uniquely vulnerable to Paragon tier knockback (e.g. Glaive Dominus's anti-MOAB glaive), slowdown (e.g. Ascended Shadow), and stuns. Lych-souls can be affected by modifiers for Boss Health, but not Boss Speed. A Lych-soul deducts 100,000 Lives when leaking, effectively causing a guaranteed loss.
