'''Apache Prime''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. | '''Apache Prime''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade significantly improves all of the attacks of the [[Apache Dartship (BTD6)|Apache Dartship]], dealing significantly more damage and often more pierce. All of its darts are replaced by red and purple lasers. | ||
* The [[Quad Darts (BTD6)|quad darts]] are replaced with quad lasers. These lasers have increased [[damage]] from 1 to 6 and increased [[pierce]] from 3 to 23 compared to darts. They can damage [[Frozen Bloon|Frozen Bloons]] but cannot damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] or [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloons]]. | |||
* The machine gun fires thin plasma lasers instead of darts. They increased damage from 1 to 5 and increased pierce from 7 to 11, and can damage all Bloon types except for Purple. | |||
*Rockets deal +15 [[MOAB-Class damage]]. | |||
*The [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|razor rotor]] attack has its damage increased from 4 to 8 and its pierce from 20 to 40. | |||

Although easy to use on straightfoward maps, Apache Prime has a steep saveup from [[Apache Dartship (BTD6)|Apache Dartship]] and a steeper saveup from [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|Razor Rotors]]. It is prone to chasing {{BTD6|DDT}}s even with [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]], and falls off even harder on maps with multiple entrances and exits. Apache Prime is outclassed by T5s with a more effective saveup (e.g. [[Carrier Flagship (BTD6)|Carrier Flagship]]) or by a T5 of similar cost with cheaper synergies (e.g. [[Bloon Exclusion Zone (BTD6)|Bloon Exclusion Zone]] with {{BTD6|Alchemist}} buffs). However, Apache Prime does pair very well with [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]]'s discount buff to minimize the saveup struggle in [[CHIMPS]]. | |||
5-0-2 is preferred for optimal DPS as opposed to 5-2-0, whose flight speed boost is insufficient for multi-lane maps and [[Camo detection]] that is better bought elsewhere (outside of [[Least Tiers]] in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}}, {{BTD6|Odyssey}}s, etc). | |||
