Razor Rotors partially carries early midgame on a variety of non-simultaneous lane maps, cleaning up small amounts of bloons quickly and popping all bloon types. Razor Rotors can fly anywhere on screen, having little trouble on maps with range issues. However, it does still struggle against dense groups of bloons, and falls off hard on any simultaneous lane map, and offers no support role other than pure damage.

On Contested Territory, Razor Rotors especially stands out for its reliable popping of all non-Camo types, and Camos with 3-2-0. Thus, Razor Rotors stands out the most on Least Tiers tiles when given support against R43+ Ceramics and R50+ MOABs. On Least Cash, Razor Rotors is an easy choice compared to combinations of cheap T1-T3 towers. It also transitions decently into [[Apache Dartship (BTD6)|Apache Dartship]], to carry further into the midgame.

  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions
  • Neutral After changing targeting off of Lock in Place or Patrol Points, changing back returns the target(s) to how it was previously
  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Pursuit Razor Rotors has underperformed due to distancing itself far too much, so we increased the range of this attack slightly.
— Update notes
  • Buff Razor Rotors: area increased ― 33 → 35
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Movement speed decreased ― 45 → 40
3-1-0
  • Buff Movement speed increased ― 67.5 → 70
Razor Rotors doesn’t synergize well with it’s own T2 and is kinda the dunce of T3 Helis
— Update notes
  • Buff Rotors: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
Previously Razor Rotor’s used to make the heli pursue for a further distance & this caused it to often fail to reach Lead Bloons with the rotor attack that could pop them. This overall seemed like a design flaw so that back-off distance has been moved up to the T4 instead.
— Update notes
  • Buff Razor Rotor’s Pursuit targeting modified to move closer to the Bloons
    • Note: 4xx and above unaffected
  • Buff Heli 'patrol point' markers now visually update immediately after setting new points (bug fix)
Even with the map-range advantage, rotors are weak compared to any other constant AoE circle like this.
— Update notes
  • Buff Razor Rotors: attack cooldown reduced ― 0.75s → 0.5s
3-0-2
  • Buff Razor Rotors: now benefits from the faster firing crosspath ― 0.75s → 0.4s
Pursuit will now interact with Patrol Points in a limited ‘pursuit between points’, with this now you will be able to make your pursuit heli stay on one side on multi-path maps without getting stuck in the middle. Razor Rotors is fairly good now, but it could still justify a little more power given the weaknesses of the expensive upgrades that it builds into.
— Update notes
  • Buff Pursuit upgrades the Patrol Points flight pattern to a ‘Pursue Between Points’
  • Buff Razor Rotors rotors: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.5s → 0.45s
Some price is moving out from base Heli into the T3s to make progression up through low heli tiers easier, however Downdraft is retaining the current price as a small buff.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $1,750 → $1,850
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
