Juggernaut (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Juggernaut''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade reduces the Spike-o-pult's [[attack cooldown]] from 1.15 seconds to 1 second and upgrades its projectiles to travel much faster and further, deal +3 [[damage]] to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and +2 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s, can pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s, and have 60 pierce instead of 18. It also inflicts [[knockback]] on non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, causing them to move backwards at 4× [[Bloon speed|speed]] briefly with each hit. Lead Bloons and Ceramic Bloons only move at 2x speed. With {{BTD6 mk|Force vs Force}}, the tower does +2 damage to MOAB-Class bloons. <section end="lede"/>

[[Enhanced Eyesight (BTD6)|Enhanced Eyesight]] increases the knockback by 50%.  

Juggernaut is a strong tower for early game and early mid-game on maps with obstacles, such as [[Cornfield]], [[Ravine]], and [[Dark Dungeons]], where its projectiles can bounce off walls and hit Bloons repeatedly. However, on open maps, it falls short of other towers (e.g. 2-0-4 [[Sharp Shooter (BTD6)|Sharp Shooter]]) due to low single-target damage. Unlike most towers of its price range, it stays relevant versus {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s due to its consistent Ceramic knockback. Juggernaut is also useful in [[Race Event]]s in the same vein as {{BTD6|Spike-o-pult}} when aiming down straight lines.

 

4-0-2 gives [[Camo detection]], better knockback for late game utility, and the increased range allows for better fire angles on most maps. Meanwhile, 4-2-0 does more DPS, making it better during mid-game and [[Race Event]]s, or if building up to [[Ultra-Juggernaut (BTD6)|Ultra-Juggernaut]].
