The Heli Pilot is a Military tower in Bloons TD 6. It hovers over the track, shoots darts at nearby Bloons and has a movement speed of 40 units/s. Rather than targeting options, the player can choose movement options for the Heli: it can either follow the player's cursor, stay in one place, or move back and forth between two points. The darts cannot pop lead or frozen Bloons, and the Heli Pilot does not have innate camo detection. Rosalia can provide price discounts to Heli Pilots in her range.

It can be upgraded to receive a whole array of additional attacks, blow Bloons away and offers support, including cash, lives, and tower movement and a powerful marine, or shove MOAB-class bloons back and call in extra helis.

A new targeting option enables Heli to seek and pursue the Bloons automatically.
$425 — Easy
$500 — Medium
$540 — Hard
$600 — Impoppable

Razor Rotors
Tier 3 — 2,700 XP to unlock

Darts are propelled much faster through the air.
$210 — Easy
$250 — Medium

Comanche Defense
Tier 4 — 12,500 XP to unlock
Icon of Comanche Defense
Automatically calls in mini Comanches when they're most needed.
$7,225 — Easy
$8,500 — Medium
$9,180 — Hard
$10,200 — Impoppable
This upgrade grants Heli Pilot the ability to summon mini Comanche sub-towers when Bloons reach certain thresholds along the track. Mini Comanches fly fast towards its targets, spawning from the edge of the map closest to them, and are equipped with faster-firing darts and high-damage missiles.

This upgrade also increases the damage of Heli Pilot's main darts from 1 to 2. The missile granted by MOAB Shove is enhanced, increasing its damage from 2 to 3, increasing the missle's pierce from 10 to 30, and reducing its attack cooldown by 66.67%, effectively tripling its attack speed. Comanche Defense also enhances the MOAB pushback of MOAB Shove.

$35,000 — Medium
$37,800 — Hard

This upgrade also increases the damage of Heli Pilot's main darts from 2 to 4. The damage of its MOAB Shove missile is increased from 3 to 13, and its MOAB-Class damage from +5 to +8. All of its mini-Comanche's attack are improved, the damage of darts goes from 1 to 3, the damage of their rockets goes from 2 to 15 and the rockets' Ceramic damage from +2 to +10. The Heli Pilot's movement speed is increased by 10, including mini-Commanches.

Heli Pilot's high cost for controllable range and ignorance of obstacles lets it excel at mobility at the will of the player, being great for a variety of maps, especially excelling on one-lane-per-round map formats. On multi-lane maps with more than one active lane per round, it struggles on split lane maps but can still handle one region of the track at a time while other towers handle the other regions. The Heli's slow flight speed encourages positioning in advance of the Bloons and not chasing them reactively. Overall, the Heli excels as a support tower, or it can be used to actively carry a defense.

  • Description changed ― "Hovers wherever you last tapped the screen. Shoots from twin heavy dart guns." → "Hovers wherever you direct it. Shoots from twin heavy dart guns."
  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions

  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Cost increased ― $1,500 → $1,600
“
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.

”
  • Nerf Movement speed reduced ― 45 → 40
  • Buff Heli 'patrol point' markers now visually update immediately after setting new points (bug fix)
“
Some price is moving out from base Heli into the T3s to make progression up through low heli tiers easier, however Downdraft is retaining the current price as a small buff.

Footnotes

[edit | edit source]
  1. ↑ Technically, this is distinct from simply increasing the number of projectiles fired per shot. For the purposes of Acidic Mixture Dip and Berserker Brew buffs, a volley of 4 darts is considered 2 shots, not 1.
  2. ↑ The downdraft can never blow back Lead Bloons even with buffs, such as Monkey Intelligence Bureau and Acidic Mixture Dip, or when the Lead Bloons are debuffed to remove the Lead Property, such as by Glue Strike.
