Bloonchipper (BTD5): Difference between revisions

{{for|the Bloonchipper in general|Bloonchipper}}

The '''Bloonchipper''' is a [[tower]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', the {{mobile version of|Bloons TD 5}}, and the {{console version of|Bloons TD 5}}. In ''BTD5 Deluxe'', it is unlocked at [[level|rank]] 21 and its tier 4 [[upgrade]]s are unlocked at rank 44, while in the mobile and console versions, it is unlocked at rank 22 and its tier 4 upgrades are unlocked at rank 46. It does not exist in the {{Flash version|Bloons TD 5}}.

The Bloonchipper [[attack]]s by sucking in [[Bloon]]s within its [[range]], holding them in place briefly while shredding their outer [[Bloon layer|layer]]s, then ejecting the leftover Bloons back onto the track where they were sucked in from. It sucks Bloons in every 0.3 seconds, but it can only suck in and process up to 10 Bloons at a time. [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD5)|Ceramic Bloon]]s count as three Bloons instead of one, though they can still be sucked in if they would exceed the limit (e.g. it can shred up to four Ceramic Bloons at a time, even though that counts as twelve Bloons). It deals 1 damage per second to each Bloon inside of it, then ejects them once their outer layers have been popped; in effect, most Bloons are stalled for one second, while Ceramic Bloons are stalled for ten seconds. Bloons cannot be targeted or hit by other towers while inside it, but they will continue to take [[damage over time]]. It cannot suck in [[Lead Bloon (BTD5)|Lead Bloon]]s, [[Camo Bloon (BTD5)|Camo Bloon]]s, or [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s without [[upgrade]]s and/or [[tower buff|buffs]]. It can be upgraded to shred Bloons more efficiently, shred Lead Bloons and MOAB-Class Bloons, or suck in all Bloons on-screen with its [[Activated Ability]].

*Unupgraded Bloonchippers can strip a lot of RBE in the early game by eliminating all the Ceramic layers of round 40 and the first few [[MOAB (BTD5)|MOAB]]s.

*Super Wide Funnel can remove an entire [[BFB (BTD5)|BFB]] layer in one shot and can solo a [[ZOMG (BTD5)|ZOMG]] layer and all the BFB layers of its children with enough time and track coverage.

** For this reason, the Super Wide Funnel is one of the best options for beating extremely high rounds.

* [[Triple Barrel (BTD5)|Triple Barrel]] is much less efficient than multiple Chippers, so should never be considered.

* [[Supa-Vac (BTD5)|Supa-Vac]] is outclassed by towers that actually clear out bloons; Supa-Vac is way too expensive to only stall non-blimp bloons.
