Downdraft (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Downdraft''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Heli Pilot a new downdraft aura attack. This new attack deals no damage, but sends Bloons backwards 32-150 [[Unit|units]]. This attack has a [[Attack Cooldown|cooldown]] of 0.2 seconds, and a [[pierce]] of 2. Blowing back a [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]] uses up 2 pierce. The downdraft cannot affect [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] or [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]]{{Fn|The downdraft can never blow back Lead Bloons even with buffs, such as Monkey Intelligence Bureau and Acidic Mixture Dip, or when the Lead Bloons are debuffed to remove the Lead Property, such as by Glue Strike.}}.

Bloons which get blown back lose their glued and frozen properties if they had it.

{{Outdated|After DoTS nerfs this needs to be reeevaluated}}

Downdraft is quite reliable midgame support for blowing back several bloons at once consistently at any location. It stands out more for [[Boss Bloon Event]]s that require stalling, particularly Least Tiers. It's still alright in [[CHIMPS]] for late-game support, blowing back one Ceramic at a time,<!--yeah you can pierce-buff a downdraft wind now but is it practical? doubt it for the cost--> though multiple [[Druid of the Storm (BTD6)|Druids of the Storm]] have better overall blowback on maps with good track reach.
