'''Gyrfalcon''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

'''Gyrfalcon''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler no longer uses its short-range staff attack, instead handling a gyrfalcon that moves and scratches Bloons. The Gyrfalcon can only target the track, and this upgrade cannot be bought if there is no track in range, and cannot be changed by external range buffs.

The Gyrfalcon has a range of 60 (centered at the Handler), and uses a targetable reticle to control the bird to scratch or grab Bloons depending on percentage distance along the track. Gyrfalcon pursues a Bloon based on the handler's targeting and will not pursue additional Bloons while grabbing. It has 80 flight speed and flies twice as fast while pursuing a Bloon.

*If the Bloon is closer to the entrance than the reticle, it scratches the targeted Bloon without grabbing it.

*If the Bloon is further from the entrance than the reticle, it grabs the targeted Bloon. While picking up Bloons, it damages them every second with the same stats as the grab.

Gyrfalcon does 1 damage, deals +1 damage to [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow Bloons]], has 3 pierce, and 10 radius. After scratching or grabbing Bloons, it has an attack cooldown of 1 second. Bloons attacked by Gyrfalcon lose their children when popped by it. Its pierce and attack rate cannot be buffed. It cannot target [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloons]] and above, and cannot target [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] without lead-popping. If picked up, a Lead Bloon has +1 pierce penalty.

==Strategy==

Gyrfalcon can be purchased along with [[Piranha]] or [[Microraptor]] to start a game, but is not as good as Piranha with Microraptor and cannot be purchased immediately with Microraptor (Gyrfalcon's better combination, due to Microraptor's extra pierce) in [[CHIMPS]]. Therefore, Gyrfalcon's main use is for stalling in the early-game, excelling in that role by stalling [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow Bloons]] without Regrows getting out of control, and, if the reticle is targeted correctly, an infinite Regrow stall can occur.

*Gyrfalcon has a Ceramic pierce penalty of +5, compared to [[Horned Owl]]'s +4, but this property is never used for Gyrfalcon due to having no method of picking up Ceramics at all.
