'''Ball Lightning''' is the [[Druid (BTD6)|Druid]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. | '''Ball Lightning''' is the [[Druid (BTD6)|Druid]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade grants the Druid [[camo detection]] and an additional attack that summons a slow-moving lightning ball, which quickly zaps lightning at Bloons and freezes Bloons that touch the lightning ball. This attack is shot every 6 seconds, and generates lightning every 0.35s, forks up to 5 times (up to 31 targets total), and does 3 damage. The ball does no damage, and freezes any non-White type for 4.5s through up to 4 layers of Bloon. | ||
Additionally, the ordinary [[Heart of Thunder (BTD6)|Heart of Thunder]] lightning bolts deal 3 damage, and tornadoes are more effective. Tornadoes now blow back Bloons +50 more units backwards (150–250 units), and has its pierce increased from 35 to 60 with no pierce penalty versus [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s.<section end="lede" /> | |||

Ball Lightning is a decent mid-game tower for both support and damage, controlling<!--"stalling" is the wrong word--> and popping Bloons that follow its path. However, multiple T3 [[Druid of the Storm (BTD6)|Druid of the Storm]]s are generally more versatile for blowback despite the more cost-efficient blowback of the T4. Ball Lightning's lightning balls can be used for dealing general damage to any non-Purple when placed along straight lines, however the ball is antithetical for the purpose of prolonging rounds to use abilities. The lightning ball freeze benefits Bloon control especially with {{BTD6 mk|Cold Front}}'s zap freezes, but remains not enough to be a proper stall tower, and its slow attack speed and reliance on straight lines on [[CHIMPS]] prevents it from working on many map formats. | |||
