'''Popseidon''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>~~It improves both its trident [[attack]] and~~ its [[Activated Ability]]~~. It increases~~ the damage its ~~ability's~~ ice balls deal from 20 to 30 and ~~allows~~ them to bounce off the edges of the map. It also causes the ability to summon a flood that deals 70 [[damage type|Frigid-type]] damage to all Bloons on-screen (including [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s, even if it lacks [[Camo detection]]) and [[slow]]s all Bloons (even Bloons it cannot deal damage to) to 50% speed for 8 seconds~~. [[Crosspath]]ing with [[Echosense Precision]] no longer reduces the spread of the ice balls~~.

~~This~~ upgrade increases the Mermonkey's [[range]] from 32 units to 40 units, doubles the [[attack speed]] of the trident attack, increases the base damage of the tridents and wavelets from 8 to 15, increases the damage they deal to frozen Bloons to +7.5 and to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s to +15, and increases the rate they gain damage to 112.5% per second ~~(which no longer changes with the [[Trident Swiftness]] crosspath)~~. With this upgrade, it fires two more tridents each time it attacks, angled 45° ~~away from~~ the middle trident ~~(60° with the Echosense Precision crosspath)~~.<section end="lede"/>

Additionally, this upgrade increases the Mermonkey's [[range]] from 32 units to 40 units, doubles the [[attack speed]] of the trident attack, increases the base damage of the tridents and wavelets from 8 to 15, increases the damage they deal to frozen Bloons to +7.5 and to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s to +15, and increases the rate they gain damage to 112.5% per second. With this upgrade, it also fires two more tridents each time it attacks, angled 45° to each side of the middle trident.<section end="lede"/>

[[Crosspath]]ing with [[Echosense Precision]] no longer reduces the spread of the ice balls, but it now increases the spread of the side tridents to 60°. Crosspathing with [[Trident Swiftness]] no longer increases the rate the middle tridents gain damage at over time, but it does affect the side tridents.

For a fairly high price, Popseidon is a powerful T5 that easily clears out smaller blimps and {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s alike, but has damage type issues and a lack of single-target damage. Due to its lack of White and Purple popping, it is more suitable for late-game when combined with additional defenses that can deal with Round 95's excess of Purples. Use its ability against a fast rush of Bloons.
