'''Barracuda''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles a barracuda instead of a piranha. Its Beast Power is increased by +2, changing its Beast Power scale from 1 to 3–6.

The Barracuda has more range (20 → 25), more pierce (1 → 4), more damage (1 → 2), and a bigger splash radius (4 → 8), and can knock back regular Bloons on damage, knocking them backwards by 50% for 0.2 seconds, with only 25% backwards on [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic]] Bloons. Beast merges increase its pierce, damage, and attack speed.

Barracuda is ~~mediocre~~ at Power 3, but becomes an immensely powerful early-game tower at Power 6. Aside from [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Leads]] and [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]], it thoroughly wipes out all Bloons that enter its range before the MOAB. It remains powerful for its cost into the mid-game and even late game thanks to its knockback, and it is commonly purchased with a Power 6 [[Adasaurus]], which is also a powerful early-game tower that retains its value into the mid-game.
