Standoff: Difference between revisions

'''Standoff''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the Desperado's [[attack speed]] by 60%, but reduces it by 15% per [[Bloon]] within [[range]] (to a minimum of 0% extra attack speed with 4+ Bloons in range). It does not count [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s within range unless it has [[Camo detection]].

Since it has to have at least one targetable Bloon within range to attack, the attack speed modifier is effectively always reduced while it is attacking, though if no Bloons are in range after it attacks, it does apply the full modifier while it reloads.

Combined with the [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]] benefits, Standoff is effective at chipping bloons if there's fewer bloons in range. Thus, if allowed to be far from the track and versus exactly one target, Standoff can be a worthwhile crosspath for single-target DPS, particularly for middle-path Desperadoes starting with 2-2-0. Bottom path Desperados may find Standoff helpful to counter the shotgun's lack of single-target damage, compared to the middle crosspath's extra crit damage which isn't often without multiple range buffs, and the lower-tier bottom path upgrades aren't very synergetic with each other.
