The '''Jar of Pickles''', or '''Pickles''', is a [[Geraldo (BTD6)#Geraldo's Shop|Geraldo's Shop]] item in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It applies a buff to towers which increases their damage by 1 but reduces their attack speed by 33% (1.66× attack cooldown) for 5 rounds. The buff also applies to sub-towers of the tower it is applied to – for example, it applies to all of Geraldo's sub-towers if used on Geraldo himself. At level 16, it is upgraded to also provide +1 [[Fortified damage]] to affected towers.

Jar of Pickles may not be applied to [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farms]] or [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Villages]] other than [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]]. It can, however, be applied to [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]] even without any damaging upgrades – this does not increase their glue's damage. An upgraded version of the buff may be applied to a tower with an inferior version, overriding it and resetting the duration.

== Strategy ==

{{strategy needed|Add additional examples of towers that benefit from Pickles synergy and why and when you'd use that synergy. Also determine how important layer-skipping is for pickles synergy, if necessary. 1-0-2 spac when no alch? Jitsu? jungledruid?}}

Jar of Pickles' flat damage bonus at the cost of a minor speed reduction is most efficient on low damage towers (such as the [[The Tack Zone (BTD6)|Tack Zone]] or [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]]). Any tower with 1 or 2 damage is overall buffed by the Jar of Pickles, those with 3 damage are overall neutral, and any tower with 4 or more is effectively nerfed. When Geraldo gets to level 16, it buffs 1 to 5 damage towers only against Fortified Bloons. If buffed by Alchemist or Bloons are affected by debuffs, treat the damage value higher (e.g. [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] = +1). Flat damage bonuses also drastically improve layer-skipping of Bloons for low-damage towers.

*'''[[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]:''' When used for single-target without other buffs, or to handle Fortified more efficiently, Overdrive retains sizable DPS without much compromise to its reliability.

~~|description=Try these pickles on one of your Monkey Towers~~ and it ~~will hit harder, but shoot slower for a while~~.

*'''[[Gerry's Fire]]''': The fire spirit's flames have low damage and attack quickly, and allowing it to layer-skip spawns fewer Bloons during the mid-game. Only use this synergy on towers that already deal low damage.
