Corvus (BTD6): Difference between revisions

{{BTD6 hero info

}}

*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 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.

==Mechanics==

{{Incomplete|add more specific mechanics to this creature, including level benefits}}

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]].

*If it is a [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]], it loses its immunities.

*It takes +1 [[damage]] from [[projectile]]s and [[damage over time]] sources that deal [[damage type|energy, plasma, fire or frigid damage]] (including his own Spirit and Dark Ritual ability).

Corvus cannot Haunt [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s initially and cannot Haunt [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s without being granted [[Camo detection]]. He cannot Haunt [[Golden Bloon (BTD6)|Golden Bloon]]s or [[Boss Bloon]]s at all.

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:

*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 such as [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]].

Starting at level 12, activating the ability also removes 10% of the points from the Graveyards of [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]s with the [[Necromancer: Unpopped Army]], [[Prince of Darkness (BTD6)|Prince of Darkness]], or [[Magus Perfectus]] upgrades within his range, and converts those points into Mana. Multiple Graveyards will not stack. Necromancer Graveyards take precedent over Prince of Darkness, regardless of proximity to Corvus.

==Strategy==

{{main strategy}}

*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.

*In the early game, use [[Spear]] for Bloon rushes, [[Vision]] for Camo Bloons, and [[Ancestral Might]] against the round 40 [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]].

*In the mid game, use [[Ember]] and/or [[Trample]] for dense Bloons and [[Repel]] / [[Frostbound]] to stall [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s.

*Use [[Nourishment]] on easy rounds when other spells aren't needed to gain more XP.
