'''Velociraptor''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles a velociraptor instead of an adasaurus. Its Beast Power is increased by +5, changing its Beast Power scale from 3–6 to 8–24.

'''Velociraptor''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>The Beast Handler now handles a velociraptor instead of an adasaurus. Its Beast Power is increased by +5, changing its Beast Power scale from 3–6 to 8–24.

Velociraptor has ~~increased~~ range, ~~pierce~~, damage, ~~and splash radius. It also~~ gains a +3 damage ~~bonus to~~ stunned Bloons and ~~[[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]~~, ~~which scales with~~ increased Beast Power.

The Velociraptor has 24 range instead of 20, and each bite has 18 radius instead of 15, plus increased damage, gains a 1.5× damage multiplier against stunned Bloons, and more pierce. Merges improve its damage and pierce, plus reduced attack cooldowns. Its bonus Ceramic damage is also increased from +1 to +4, regardless of Beast Power.

*'''Damage''': Increased from 2–4 to 4–16.

*'''Pierce''': Increased from 8–20 to 12–26.

*'''Attack cooldown''': Starts at 1 second, which decreases to 0.6561 second at max Beast Power.

~~Power 8~~ Velociraptor ~~suffers from unreliability~~, ~~due~~ to ~~its short range~~, ~~but Power 24 Velociraptor is a very powerful mid-game tower~~ that one-~~shots~~ [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|~~Ceramics~~]] ~~and also does solid blimp damage~~. ~~To maximize its effectiveness, re-position it when large amounts of~~ Bloons ~~get past its range~~. ~~Repositioning~~ is ~~especially needed for blimps, which Velociraptor generally cannot pop alone when permanently set in one spot~~.

Velociraptor is slow and weak for its cost, dealing poor damage to standard Bloons, insufficient pierce that causes it to struggle against swarms of weak Bloons, and needing merges to one-shot any standard Bloon except a normal Fortified [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]. It needs merges to have any value as a cleanup tower against standard Bloons. Its bonus stunned Bloon bonus is big enough to warrant applying stuns from [[Relentless Glue]] and similar stun supports.

~~Merging into~~ Velociraptor is ~~recommended~~, ~~as an unmerged Velociraptor is weak~~ and ~~unreliable. For efficient~~ merges~~, merging two Velociraptors to max power will save the most money~~. ~~Although~~ Power 16 is ~~able~~ to one-shot Ceramics, Power 24 ~~is still optimal; the maximized~~ attack speed ~~significantly improves its consistency~~.

Low power Velociraptor is slow and weak compared to Power 6 [[Adasaurus]] before it, and it should always have merges. Power 16 is enough to one-shot Rainbows, and Power 22 versus non-Fortified Ceramics. Power 24 has more consistency with faster attack speed, does better against groups, and aids transition into [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] later.
