'''Galvanic Conduit''' is the [[Skywarden (BTD6)|Skywarden]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade changes the [[damage type]] of ~~the projectile~~ to ~~plasma~~, allowing it to ~~pop~~ [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|~~lead bloons~~]]~~.

'''Galvanic Conduit''' is the [[Skywarden (BTD6)|Skywarden]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade changes the [[damage type]] of its main [[attack]] to {{BTD6 dt|Plasma}}, allowing it to damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]], and grants it +3 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloons]], and [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] (which do not stack on Bloons that have multiple of these properties). It also unlocks the Lightning Combo:

#~~The first hit causes all~~ {{BTD6 dt|Energy}}-~~type~~ and {{BTD6 dt|Plasma}}-type ~~projectiles to be attracted~~ towards ~~the bloon~~.

#All Skywardens with this upgrade, [[Thunder's Decree]], or [[Stormwrath Archon]] apply a circling yellow mark to one Bloon they deal damage to at a time, which lasts for 2 seconds. If they damage a Bloon that already has a mark, it refreshes the duration and advances the combo. All affected Bloons attract projectiles that deal {{BTD6 dt|Energy}}- and {{BTD6 dt|Plasma}}-type damage within a 30-unit radius towards them.

#~~The~~ second hit ~~causes all~~ {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}}-~~type~~ and {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}-type attacks ~~to trigger a 5 damage~~ lightning ~~bolt when damaging the bloon. The bolt~~ has 4 pierce ~~and~~ splits once.

#Starting on the second hit, affected Bloons that take damage from {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}}- and {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}-type attacks create chain lightning that has 4 pierce, splits once (effectively hitting up to 6 Bloons), and does 5 damage with +4 damage to frozen Bloons. The lightning attributes its damage and pops to the tower that triggered it.

~~#The third hit causes all subsequent x-3+-x Skywarden attacks to stun the target, affecting~~ up to ~~[[BFB (BTD6~~)~~|BFB]]s and visible [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s~~, and ~~deal increased~~ damage. ~~Galvanic Conduits deal +10~~ damage to ~~these bloons~~.

#Starting on the fourth hit, each arrow deals +10 damage and stuns the target for 3 seconds (1 second for MOABs and DDTs and 0.5 seconds for BFBs). It cannot stun ZOMGs and cannot refresh its stun duration on Bloons that are already stunned by it.<section end="lede" />

~~The combo's~~ hit ~~counter on a target resets if~~ the target ~~is not damaged by x-~~3~~+-x Skywardens~~ for 2 seconds.<section end="lede" />

~~The pops~~ and damage ~~of the lightning is attributed to~~ the ~~tower that triggered it~~.

With [[Icebore]], the bonus Frozen damage increases to +4.

Galvanic Conduit is an early to mid game tower providing lead popping power and decent ceramic and even ~~moab~~ damage for its cost. Its passive applies stacks to bloons hit and when attacking a bloon with 3 stacks will stun the bloon. One Galvanic Conduit alone will have a hard time attacking the same ~~bloon~~ enough to trigger this and benefits from [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunners]] or [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkeys]] giving it more time. Alternatively, multiple Galvanic Conduits can be used together as stacks are shared between all monkeys. Generally, the fixed point targeting is not good for the Skywarden as it functionally gives a huge penalty to range and makes it nearly impossible to trigger the combo attack.

As stated in ~~it's~~ description, Galvanic Conduit synergizes well with monkeys that deal Sharp or Shatter damage, causing chain lightning for even more damage. ~~It also causes bloons~~ to attract energy and plasma projectiles, though ~~this is~~ often less relevant of a buff as most towers don't struggle with accuracy.

Crosspathing top path gives greatly increased range and the ability to hit camo, as well as slightly increasing the range of all other towers in its radius, while bottom path gives it extra damage against frozen bloons and extra pierce. The extra pierce is very valuable as despite ~~it's~~ attacks appearing visually similar to a Mortar Monkey, they have much less pierce and can struggle with large clumps of bloons.
