'''Farwind Seer''' is the [[Skywarden (BTD6)|Skywarden]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade increases the base ~~range of the tower to 58 units and increases the~~ damage of the Skywarden's arrows to 5~~. It gains~~ damage based on ~~its~~ range~~, starting at~~ +1 ~~damage at~~ 70 ~~units~~ and ~~increasing by another~~ 1 ~~damage~~ every 5 units, ~~up to~~ +20 damage ~~at 170 range~~. Without any other ~~[[Range|Range Buffs]]~~, switching the Farwind Seer to long-range mode gives +2 damage (for a total of 7).<section end="lede" />

'''Farwind Seer''' is the [[Skywarden (BTD6)|Skywarden]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade increases the base damage of the Skywarden's arrows to 5 and further increases damage based on [[Range|attack range]]. Arrow damage is increased by +1 when reaching 70 range and +1 for every 5 units of range above that, capping at +20 damage. Without any other range buffs, switching the Farwind Seer to [[Zephyr Sense|long-range mode]] gives +2 damage, for a total of 7. This upgrade also causes the Skywarden to spawn 4 additional arrows instead of 2 when hitting a Bloon with the 2nd [[Wind Weaver|combo effect]] activated.<section end="lede" />

With [[Icebore]], the bonus Frozen damage increases to +5, but this does not scale with the Farwind Seer's range-to-damage scaling.

To maximise the damage this tower deals, its range must be increased as much as possible. Range can be increased using [[Aerial Attunement]] up to 5 times, [[Berserker Brew]], [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]], [[Deadeye~~|Deadeye's~~]] ~~ability~~ and buffs from [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn]], [[~~Silas~~ (BTD6)|~~Silas~~]], [[~~Geraldo~~ (BTD6)|~~Geraldo~~]] or [[~~Etienne~~ (BTD6)|~~Etienne~~]].

To maximise the damage this tower deals, its range must be increased as much as possible. Range can be increased using [[Aerial Attunement]] up to 5 times, [[Berserker Brew]], [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]], the Take Aim ability from [[Deadeye]] or [[Bounty Hunter]] (with the latter giving significantly more range), and buffs from [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn]], [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]], or [[Etienne (BTD6)|Etienne]]. [[Bottle of 'Gerry's Fire' Hot Sauce|Gerry's Fire]] benefits massively from this tower's damage scaling as well.

Farwind Seer excels against [[MOAB-Class_Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], but struggles against [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloons]] if they're not fully popped in a single hit. If a round is causing trouble because Ceramics are getting popped into Reds or Blues, it may be worth giving this tower a [[Jar of Pickles]] or switching to its long-range mode.

The 5-0-2 crosspath ([[Icebore]]) is usually preferred for the piercing capabilities, with 5-0-1 ([[Shatterpoint]]) being sufficient if no freezing effects are present. 5-1-0 ([[Storm's Pulse]]) is currently non-functional for the speed boost due to a bug, and 5-2-0 ([[Thundering Arc]]) can sometimes be a downgrade due to not piercing in a straight line, despite ignoring obstacles and granting extra pierce and explosion radius based on arrow travel distance.

~~Farwind Seer excells against [[MOAB-Class_Bloon~~|~~MOAB-Class Bloons]], but struggles against [[Ceramic_Bloon_(BTD6)~~|Cermaic Bloons]] if they're not fully popped in a single hit. If a round is causing touble because Ceramics are getting popped into Reds or Blues, it may be worth giving this tower [[Jar of Pickles]] or switching to its long-range mode despite this being an overall decrease to its DPS.
