'''Captain Churchill''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|2.0}}. He can be purchased for {{BTD6 mm|2500}} starting at [[level]] 15.
'''Captain Churchill''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|2.0}}. He is purchasable for {{BTD6 mm|2500|name=y|link=y}} starting at [[level]] 15.


Captain Churchill operates a tank that slowly fires shells that explode multiple times and deal high damage. Starting from Level 5, he gains a machine gun that rapidly damages Bloons, similar to a close-range [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]. His Level 3 ability is Armor Piercing Shells ability, which allows his shells to damage any Bloon type and explode more times. His Level 10 ability is MOAB Barrage, launching missiles at the 10 strongest MOAB-class Bloons on screen until targets are popped, or shot up to 10 times.
Captain Churchill operates a tank that slowly fires shells that explode multiple times and deal high damage. As he levels up, he gains a separate machine gun attack, [[Camo detection]], and his attack speed, damage, and pierce improves.


* Starting at level 5, he gains a rapid machine gun attack separate from his main attack that damages Bloons one at a time.
* Starting at level 6, he gains Camo detection.
* He has two [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]]:
** '''Armor Piercing Shells''' (level 3) — Increases the number of times his shells can explode and gives them more damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic]] and [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], and changes the [[damage type]] of his shells and machine gun to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}. The ability's duration increases as he levels up.
** '''MOAB Barrage''' (level 10) — Launches high damage missiles at up to 10 MOAB-Class Bloons, prioritizing the strongest ones.

===Main Gun===
Captain Churchill's Main Gun fires a shell every 1.5 seconds that pierces through Bloons and generate an explosion on each collision. The shells cannot generate explosions for {{hover|0.05 seconds|3 frames}} after each collision (to ensure there is some spacing between each explosion). Each shell technically has infinite [[pierce]], but can only generate up to three explosions by default, and they expire after generating the maximum number of explosions. The shells themselves deal no damage, but the explosions deal 3 [[Damage type|explosion-type]] damage and have 12 [[pierce]] with an 18-unit blast radius.

===Machine Gun===
===Machine Gun===
At level 5, Churchill unlocks a machine gun attack that shoots at Bloons within his range. It always targets [[first]], regardless of Churchill's target priority. Its shots collide with the target instantly without any travel time, and it can only hit one Bloon at a time, even with pierce buffs. It deals 2 sharp-type damage every 0.1 seconds.

'''Armor Piercing Shells''' unlocks at level 3. It temporarily allows Churchill's shells to explode 2 more times, increases the damage they deal to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic]] and [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s by +9, and changes the [[damage type]] of both his shells and Machine Gun to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}. It lasts for 9 seconds at level 3 and increases by 0.5 seconds each time Churchill levels up after unlocking it (up to 17.5 seconds at level 20). It has a 30-second cooldown.
Armor Piercing Shells changes damage type to Normal, popping all Bloon types, does 9 extra damage to Ceramic and MOAB-Class Bloons, and each shell explodes up to two more times.

{{incomplete|Add the whole list of changes}}
'''MOAB Barrage''' unlocks at level 10. It targets up to 10 [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s on the map from anywhere, prioritizing the strongest ones, then drops a shell on each target every 0.5 seconds for 8 seconds. If a target's outer layer pops, all shells targeting it disappear. Each shell deals 200 {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}-type damage and can only hit its target, not any surrounding Bloons. The player can only activate it if there are any valid targets on-screen. It has a 60-second cooldown.
 
MOAB Barrage launches up to 10 missiles at each of the strongest MOAB-Class Bloons on screen, up to 16 times per target. Missiles cannot target the same MOAB-Class Bloon. If the target is popped, the missiles that were on that target will not continue to attack other Bloons. As Churchill levels up, his MOAB Barrage gains more damage, and even halve its ability cooldown. Ability cooldown is 60 seconds when first unlocked.

{{main strategy}}
Churchill's high cost means that using him requires a dedicated strategy to save up enough cash to purchase him. After he is placed, Churchill is excellent an early game carry and mid game general damager because of his high damage potential relative to his level. An additional tower is necessary to cover early game camo bloons because of his inability to target them until level 6. In the late game, his slow leveling rate begins to cause him to fall off because of his inability to reach higher levels that allow him to become a proper late game DPS or cleanup tower without [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]].

Churchill's high cost means that using him requires a dedicated strategy to save up enough cash to purchase him. After he is placed, Churchill is excellent an early-game carry and mid-game general damager because of his high damage potential relative to his level. An additional tower is necessary to cover early game Camo Bloons because of his inability to target them until level 6. In the late game, his slow leveling rate begins to cause him to fall off because of his inability to reach higher levels that allow him to become a proper late-game DPS or cleanup tower without [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]].


Churchill excels against straight lines, which allow his main shells to maximize the multiple explosions, and later on his Machine Gun covers many of his weaknesses to Black Bloons and singular targets. MOAB Barrage is quite powerful at demolishing a moderate number blimps into weaker layers, serving as a weaker Mega Mine. At later levels he can take down a decent chunk of hyperdense rounds with Armor Piercing Shells active, but still struggles to DDT rounds. Targeting micro, such as switching between Last and First, can help with maximizing his damage in order to weaken blimps and clean up super ceramics.
