{{BTDB2 hero info

'''Star Captain Jericho''' is a [[Hero Alt]] of [[Agent Jericho (Battles 2)|Agent Jericho]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', introduced in {{BTDB2 version|2.2}}. He costs {{BTDB2 mm|5000|name=y}} and {{BTDB2 hp|40000|Agent Jericho|name=y}} to unlock.

Star Captain Jericho uses a blaster to [[attack]] [[Bloon]]s within his [[range]], dealing 1 [[damage]] per shot and applying a [[Laser Shock (Battles 2)|Laser Shock]]-like [[damage over time]] effect that also causes affected Bloons to take more damage from his shots. He cannot pop [[Purple Bloon (Battles 2)|Purple Bloon]]s and cannot detect [[Camo Bloon (Battles 2)|Camo Bloon]]s. Compared to [[Agent Jericho (Battles 2)|Agent Jericho]], he fires faster, but deals less damage, and trades his weakness to [[Lead Bloon (Battles 2)|Lead Bloon]]s for Purple Bloons. As he levels up, his [[range]], [[damage]], and [[attack speed]] increase, he gains [[Camo detection]] and the ability to damage Purple Bloons, and he unlocks multiple passive and active methods of disrupting the opponent.

*He has two [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]]:

Jericho fires a shot with his blaster every 0.54 seconds that deals 1 [[Damage type|plasma-type]] [[damage]] and inflicts a [[damage over time]] effect that deals 1 energy-type damage after 1 second. If the target is already inflicted with this effect, his shots deal +1 damage and reset both the duration and time until the damage tick. He cannot apply this effect to [[DDT (Battles 2)|DDT]]s even while buffed by a [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (Battles 2)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]]. The effect does not deal extra damage to Bloons inflicted with [[Laser Shock (Battles 2)|Laser Shock]] from [[Dartling Gunner (Battles 2)|Dartling Gunner]]s and vice versa. Each shot collides with the target instantly without any travel time and can only hit one Bloon. Its [[pierce]] cannot be buffed.

|Shot damage increases to 2. Range increases from 40 units to 70 units. Jericho gains [[Camo detection]] and [[Camo Prioritization]].

|Pierce increases from 1 to 2. Each shot can now re-hit the target if it did not pop it, or jump to a new target within a 12-unit radius if it did, after 0.1 seconds. If it jumps, it attempts to follow Jericho's targeting, though it will default to the closest Bloon if it is not reachable.

|Pierce increases to 3. Shot damage increases to 5. DoT damage increases to 2.

|Shots now deal normal-type damage (though the DoT still deals energy-type damage). Shot damage increases to 8. DoT damage increases to 4.

*Level 20: increases the health of sent Fortified BADs by the same amount.

===In It For The Money===

'''In It For The Money''' unlocks at level 3. It causes up to 25 non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class]] Bloons sent by the player over the next 6 seconds to gain a "booby trap" effect that lasts until the outer layer is popped. If the opponent pops the outer layer of an affected Bloon, it gives the player $7 of [[cash]] and the opponent $7 of [[debt]]. The cash the player gains from this ability is stored and given out in 1-second intervals. It has a 70-second cooldown and starts with a 28-second cooldown.

|Gives different amounts of cash based on the affected Bloon's type (see the below table).

|Duration increases to 12 seconds. Can now affect one MOAB-Class Bloon per use, which counts towards the 25-Bloon limit and generates $300 cash and debt if popped.
