'''Comanche Defense''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Heli Pilot the ability to summon mini Comanche [[Sub-tower|sub-towers]] when Bloons reach certain thresholds along the track.

Each summoning can only occur once in a round. Mini Comanches already present count toward the amount summoned: for example, if there is already one mini Comanche and Bloons reach 50% down the track, only one additional mini-Comanche is summoned to bring the total to two.

Mini Comanches follow the main Heli Pilot and last for 15 seconds. They have both a dart gun attack and a rocket launcher attack. Mini Comanche darts deal 1 damage, have 4 pierce, and an attack cooldown of 0.228 seconds. 3 darts are fired per shot, or 5 if [[Quad Darts (BTD6)|Quad Darts]] is purchased~~. Darts cannot damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]]~~.

{{Strategy needed|Verify synergies and usefulness on all game modes}}

Comanche Defense is a decent DPS tower when optimizing the timing of its mini-Comanches, especially with synergies that directly buff it and its mini-Comanches, such as [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]] and [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]]. The improved shove is mild but does assist its capability to control blimps before the mini-Comanches trigger too soon. While its DPS is above average when all of them are active, it greatly struggles on rounds that are long, reaching usage caps sooner. Without mini-Comanches, its DPS is terrible.

Comanche Defense is mostly used as either a mid-game carry or simply for the damage burst when Bloons get far. It has a smooth transition to [[Comanche Commander (BTD6)|Comanche Commander]], due to the low T5 cost. Comanche Defense still should be combined with defenses that account for its downtime. When used only for the burst, it can be spammed against [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] during [[Boss Rush]], or a few for casual [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions.

1-0-4 is preferred because it directly increases DPS of both Comanches, with 2-0-4 aiding automatic use so that other defenses can be micromanaged. 0-1-4's shove bonus and flight speed bonuses are minimal and the Heli doesn't gain extra DPS. 0-2-4 is only used specifically against Camo.
