'''Striker Jones''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. He unlocks upon reaching [[level]] 21. | |||
| | Striker Jones shoots explosive shells from his bazooka, popping up to 10 Bloons in a small blast radius and inflicting [[pushback]]. At higher levels, he can buff [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooters]] and [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkeys]], plus additional benefits that improve efficiency of explosives, including extra pierce. He cannot target [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s without support. | ||
| | |||
| | |||
| | *Starting at level 5, he allows every explosive to have a 50% chance to ignore [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloon]] properties, increasing to 100% at level 19. | ||
| | *Starting at level 8, he improves the pierce and range of all nearby towers. | ||
*He has three [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]]: | |||
''' | **'''Concussive Shell''' (level 3) — Fires a homing missile following target priority, damaging its target and stunning it and nearby Bloons (except BADs and Bosses). | ||
**'''Target Focus''' (level 7) — For the duration, all Mortar Monkeys have increased accuracy and follow the location where the user last tapped or hovered. | |||
**'''Artillery Command''' (level 10) — Resets all ability cooldowns of Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys. At level 20, it also grants double damage and pierce to all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys for a limited time. | |||

'''Concussive Shell''' | '''Concussive Shell''' unlocks at level 3. It fires a seeking explosive [[projectile]] that targets and locks onto the targeted Bloon on-screen other than [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s and [[Boss Bloon|Bosses]], and picks a new target if the current target is popped. On impact, the explosion deals 2 damage and [[stun]]s up to 36 Bloons (38 with {{BTD6 mk|More 'Splody}}) in a large radius for one second, with a duration penalty versus all [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s ([[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]s and [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s: -40%, [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]]s: -55%, [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]]s: -70%).

Striker Jones is a solid hero for counteracting the explosive immunity, and serves well in strategies that focus on Bombs and/or Mortars. Additionally, his bonus percentage pierce buff improves the damage output of [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]. His main attack also does solid damage and Bloon knockback, though less important than his buffs. | |||
Concussive Shell is a strong support ability, helping to stall Bloon waves such as on round 63. On later rounds, Concussive Shell may be spammed to help stall large groups of MOAB-Class Bloons. Since this ability is locked on Strong, focus on dealing with weak clumps with your other towers. | |||
Target Focus assists Mortar-heavy defenses, allowing them to automatically target a specific location without needing to manually move each Mortar's targetings. Even with a single Mortar, Target Focus allows the player to shift focus on the screen. However, this ability's effects last for a limited time, so should be reserved for difficult rounds that would otherwise require heavy micro. | |||
Artillery Command especially helps [[Pop and Awe (BTD6)|Pop and Awe]] and [[Artillery Battery (BTD6)|Artillery Battery]], but it's not very reliable due to its slow cooldown. At level 20, it provides a very strong buff to all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys, greatly helping against difficult rounds such as 98, 99, and 100. | |||
