'''Homeland Defense''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It improves the [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] [[Activated Ability]] to increase [[attack speed]] and [[pierce]] by +100% instead of 50%, and last for 20 seconds (23 with {{BTD6 mk|To ARMS!}}) instead of 15. The ability's buff does not stack with Call to Arms; instead, these abilities override each other.

Homeland Defense is one of the strongest support towers in the game as it gives all monkeys (excluding Paragons) on the map to receive a substantial boost in DPS that they wouldn't have otherwise, making it essential in freeplay. Its overall uptime ~~ends up being about~~ 50%, so adding a second village with [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] can be activated during this downtime, with three villages needed to have complete uptime coverage. Alternatively, selling the Homeland Defense will keep its buff on other towers, so one can sell and re-buy Homeland Defense as a more expensive means of keeping the buff, but this is not recommended unless the player has lots of cash they don't need.

Homeland Defense is one of the strongest support towers in the game, as it gives all monkeys (excluding Paragons) on the map to receive a substantial boost in DPS that they wouldn't have otherwise, making it essential in freeplay. Its overall uptime is a little less than 50%, so adding a second village with [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] can be activated during this downtime, with three villages needed to have complete uptime coverage (or just two with [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]]). Alternatively, selling the Homeland Defense will keep its buff on other towers, so one can sell and re-buy Homeland Defense as a more expensive means of keeping the buff, but this is not recommended unless the player has lots of cash they don't need. To maintain full Homeland uptime, one strategy is to buy another Call to Arms, activate and sell the Homeland, and then upgrade it to Homeland and repeat the sell-and-rebuy with Call to Arms.

Other than freeplay and Boss Events/Boss Rush which don't involve Lych, it is usually too expensive (mainly in CHIMPS) or a bit overkill (in other game modes). A Call to Arms is sufficient enough elsewhere.
