'''Riptide Champion''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It replaces its original trident [[attack]] with a new trident attack that fires every 1.5 seconds instead of every 1.2 seconds (20% slower than before) and has 32 units of [[range]] instead of 28 units. Its tridents move slower and don't create splashes, but they now grow in size and [[damage]] as they travel, and they spawn two wavelet projectiles laterally at the end of their lifespans or upon colliding with a wall (they do not spawn by running out of pierce).

At base, both the tridents and the wavelets have 25 [[pierce]], deal 4 [[damage type|Frigid-type]] [[damage]] and +2 damage to frozen Bloons, and [[freeze]] all layers of Bloons they deal damage to for up to 1 second (0.5 seconds for [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s). Per second of travel time, the tridents gain 50% more damage (capped at 3× damage, though this is functionally impossible to reach without projectile lifespan buffs) and 10% more radius, while the wavelets lose 20% radius (but do not lose damage).

They pass through [[White Bloon (BTD6)|White Bloon]]s and [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebra Bloon]]s (but not [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s) instead of colliding with them unless [[buff]]ed to be able to deal damage to them.

[[Crosspath]]ing with [[Trident Efficiency]] and [[Trident Swiftness]] modifies the trident attack's [[attack speed]], projectile speed, and projectile lifespan by the same ratio as the previous tier, but Trident Swiftness also increases the tridents' growth rate to 75% damage and 15% radius per second to compensate for their reduced lifespan. Crosspathing with [[Echosense Precision]] gives its trident projectiles a slower rotation rate to compensate for their slower travel speed and does not allow its wavelets to seek Bloons.~~<section end="lede"/>~~
