'''Corvus''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|40.0}}. He can be unlocked for {{BTD6 mm|7000}} starting at [[level]] 35. He has several unique mechanics and abilities:
'''Corvus''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|40.0}}. He can be unlocked for {{BTD6 mm|7000}} starting at [[level]] 35. He controls a flying Spirit that attacks Bloons, while he haunts nearby Bloons to gather extra Mana. Additional spells can be cast by spending Mana in his Spellbook. He also passively generates Mana at a constant rate provided that Bloons enter the screen.
*Corvus is assisted by a Spirit [[sub-tower]] that flies around the map seeking [[Bloon]]s out and ramming into them to deal [[damage]]. It cannot damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s or [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s and cannot detect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s.

*Corvus inflicts the [[strong]]est Bloon within his range with a Haunt effect every 3 seconds. It does no [[damage]] by itself, but it strips [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] and [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple]] properties and causes the target to take extra damage from things that deal [[damage type|energy, plasma, or fire damage]], including his Spirit. Haunted Bloons explode when destroyed, damaging other Bloons nearby and generating Mana. He cannot Haunt Camo Bloons or [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s by default.

*Corvus provides access to the Spellbook, an interface that allows the player to spend Mana to cast spells with a variety of effects. Corvus unlocks more spells and enhances his previous spells as he levels up.

*His Soul Harvest ability deals significant damage to all Bloons near him and generates Mana based on the amount of damage dealt.
*Starting at level 8, he gains Spiritual Balance, which multiplies his Mana gains whenever he has low Mana.
*His Spirit Walk ability allows him to teleport to anywhere on the map that he can be placed on.
*Starting at level 11, he gains Spiritual Attunement, which increases damage and movement speed of the Spirit depending on his current Mana.
*His Dark Ritual ability creates an aura that damages nearby Bloons and generates Mana off of the damage dealt for a short time. Starting at level 12, it also siphons from nearby [[Necromancer: Unpopped Army (BTD6)|Necromancer]] and [[Prince of Darkness (BTD6)|Prince of Darkness]] Graveyards and converts it into Mana.
*He has three [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]]:
 
**'''Soul Harvest''' (level 3) — Deals significant damage to all Bloons near him and generates extra Mana based on the amount of damage dealt, with a minimum of 100 Mana per use.
In [[Rogue Legends|''Rogue Legends'']], the starting party of Corvus includes a 2-0-0 [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]], 0-0-2 [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]], and the [[Confuddling Spelling]] Common.
**'''Spirit Walk''' (level 7) — Teleports him to any position on the map that he can be placed on.
**'''Dark Ritual''' (level 10) — Creates an aura that damages nearby Bloons and generates Mana off of the damage dealt for a short time. Starting at level 12, it also siphons from nearby [[Necromancer: Unpopped Army]] and [[Prince of Darkness (BTD6)|Prince of Darkness]] Graveyards and converts it into Mana.

The spirit is a flying sub-tower that accelerates towards targets and swipes a short distance against them. If no visible Bloons are on screen, it flies back to Corvus and periodically wanders around his base range. It does not benefit from external buffs that do not affect sub-towers, such as Alchemist Brews and Overclocking, nor be affected by external attack speed buffs,<!--y'know all other sub-towers can accept speed buffs, so had to do the extra word stuff, sorry--> such as [[Jungle Drums (BTD6)|Jungle Drums]] and [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] (but not the pierce bonus). However, it can receive all other buffs like [[Radar Scanner (BTD6)|Radar Scanner]], [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]], and the pierce from the [[Abyss Dweller]].

The '''Spellbook''' is an interface that allows the player to store Corvus's Mana and spend it to cast spells. It starts with the Spear, Repel, and Nourishment spells by default and can store up to 800 Mana. Corvus gains more spells as he levels up, having access to 16 spells in total starting at level 13. There are two types of spells:
The '''Spellbook''' is an interface that allows the player to store Corvus's Mana and spend it to cast spells. It starts with the Spear, Repel, and Nourishment spells by default and can store up to 800 Mana. Corvus can activate multiple spells at once, though certain spells cannot be active when another spell is active.<!--e.g. you can't seem to do aggression while malevolence is active--> Spells are allowed to be activated or deactivated between rounds.<!--wording?-->
*Spells on the top row consume a certain amount of Mana each second, in addition to costing Mana to cast in the first place. They remain active as long as Corvus keeps feeding them Mana and have no cooldown, and the player can "dismiss" them at any time.
 
*Other spells do not drain Mana over time, but have a limited duration and a cooldown period. Unlike [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]], the cooldown does not start until the duration ends. They are not affected by ability cooldown modifiers like [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]].

===Spiritual Balance===
===Spiritual Balance===
'''Spiritual Balance''' is unlocked at level 8. It multiplies the amount of Mana Corvus generates from all sources depending on how much Mana he currently has. At 200 Mana or lower, he generates twice as much Mana, and at 520 Mana or more, he does not generate extra Mana. The modifier scales linearly with how much Mana he has, so, for example, having 360 Mana means he generates 50% more Mana. This also affects [[#Soul Harvest|Soul Harvest]] and [[#Dark Ritual|Dark Ritual]].
'''Spiritual Balance''' is unlocked at level 8. It multiplies the amount of Mana Corvus generates from all sources depending on how much Mana he currently has. At 80 Mana or lower, he generates 3× (+200%) as much Mana, and at 280 Mana or more, he does not generate extra Mana. The modifier scales linearly with how much Mana he has. For example, having 180<!--80+(280-80)/2--> Mana means he generates +100% more Mana. This also affects [[#Soul Harvest|Soul Harvest]] and [[#Dark Ritual|Dark Ritual]].


===Spiritual Attunement===
===Spiritual Attunement===
'''Spiritual Attunement''' is unlocked at level 11. It increases the [[damage]] and movement speed of the Spirit depending on how much Mana Corvus has in his Mana Pool, capping at 20% faster movement and 150% more damage with a full Mana Pool. The modifier scales linearly with how much Mana he has, so, for example, having 400/800 Mana means the Spirit moves 10% faster and deals 75% more damage.

Multiple Graveyards will not stack. Necromancer Graveyards take precedent over Prince of Darkness, regardless of proximity to Corvus.

Corvus has a high skill ceiling, and requires micromanagement to take full advantage of him. He has several strong spells that assist for each stage of the game. Use his [[Nourishment]] to allow him to level up quicker, but also save enough Mana to afford spells to defend. Overall, he stands out in [[CHIMPS]] and [[Half Cash]], because his spells can save a lot of cash if used properly. Despite being notorious as "only good for sweaty tryhards", he is still able to complete safe Black Border CHIMPS runs even if the player makes errors with his Mana and spell management.
Generally speaking, he is strong in the early-game with his Spirit, and scales his power throughout the game if he accelerates his leveling rate with fair optimization of Nourishment. For the mid-game, his role is a mid-game carry alongside a few other towers. In the late-game, [[Ancestral Might]] and [[Overload (BTD6)|Overload]] are his best assets for damaging heavier targets, while [[Frostbound]] and [[Repel]] allow him to effectively control smaller ones. [[Echo]] is an essential spell if chaining multiple spells together on difficult rounds. Corvus can prove effective with cleanup towers to act as a safety net, such as [[Spiked Mines (BTD6)|Spiked Mines]] or [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]], but the versatility his spells provide make him a good choice with nearly any tower.
Corvus is very effective on maps with only one active lane per round, such as [[Erosion]], but is a bit weaker on multi-lane maps due to needing [[Haste]] to travel between lanes quickly. Setting his targeting on Close can avoid chasing, allowing him to much more effectively focus down one lane.
===Tips===
*Corvus gets more Mana from Haunting stronger Bloons, so he should be placed in areas where the Bloons will reach him before your main sources of DPS. For example, if all your attacking towers are concentrated in the center of [[Monkey Meadow (BTD6)|Monkey Meadow]], then he should be placed closer to the entrance.
