{{ | ===Development=== | ||
While the Beast Handler released in {{BTD6 version|36.0}}, assets for the tower, such as buff icons and upgrade descriptions, existed in the game's data in {{BTD6 version|35.0}}. While the names of the upgrades are unchanged, the early descriptions are different. They suggest its beast system worked completely differently, requiring having multiple Beast Handlers with the same upgrade to access higher tiers (a mechanic only used by the tier 5 upgrades in the release version), and make no mention of Beast Power. | |||

| ||||||||||||||||
The Beast Handler is a Support tower in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 36.0. It is unlocked by accumulating 3,000,000 total Bloon pops in the Gift Box starting at level 30 or by purchasing the Beast Handler Unlock Pack from the Shop. Bloons popped before reaching level 30 do not count towards unlocking it.
The Beast Handler attacks by stabbing nearby Bloons with its staff, popping up to 4 at a time. Its staff can pop frozen Bloons, but not Lead Bloons or Purple Bloons, and it cannot detect Camo Bloons. It ignores line of sight blockers, but it has very short range. It cannot be buffed by Alchemists or moved with Support Chinooks.
Upgrading the Beast Handler replaces its staff attack with a Beast sub-tower that attacks for it. The Beast Handler's range is also expanded, which is used for Beast positioning and merging. Each Beast has a Beast Power stat that determines its damage, attack speed, pierce, and more depending on the Beast.
A Beast can be merged with another Beast of the same upgrade path of the same tier or higher, unless the recipient has already reached maximum Beast Power, which removes it and adds its Beast Power to the other Beast. If the contributor and recipient's range circles are touching, then the recipient's beast can be moved within the contributor's range.
It can be upgraded to train increasingly large water, land, or air beasts.
Mechanics
[edit | edit source]| This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason. |
Beast Power
[edit | edit source]| Tier | Base power | Max power |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 | 6 |
| 3 | 8 | 24 |
| 4 | 16 | 64 |
| 5 | 36 | 132 |
Merging
[edit | edit source]Stat modifiers
[edit | edit source]For most stats, there is a "range" which means the stat change from the min power to max power.
To simplify the formulas below, assume
- Pierce
- Damage
For Velociraptor and above, bonus stun damage is also affected by merging. The increased value is related to base damage increase from merging:
The above is 3.
- Knockback duration
- Flying speed
- Attack cooldown
- Thrash cooldown
Used for beasts that have a thrash attack (i.e. Great White and above). The is 0.6. The is 1.1.
- Ability cooldown
Merging actually changes the cooldownSpeedScale of the ability, which means this stacks additively with other buffs such as Energizer. Unlike other stats, this bonus depends on the cooldown of their main attack.
With
Veteran Monkey Training, the attack cooldown changes before the bonus from merging.

Strategy
[edit | edit source]At the expense of being more complex and potentially space consuming than other towers, the Beast Handler performs exceptionally well in most stages of the game. Many of its upgrades have niches that other towers cannot fulfill, making them top tier, especially in CHIMPS.
- Starting at tier 2, beasts can have other beasts merged into them, increasing their stats. This is generally more cost efficient than keeping multiple of the same beast on the field, and easier to control.
- The top path trains water beasts. They have a fast attack speed and later knockback, making them very consistent. At tier 3, the beast switches gears and specializes in raw power, dealing huge area damage as it latches onto targets, one-shotting them if it can. However, it now retreats into water for significant periods of time, meaning it requires other towers to cover the downtime.
- The middle path trains land beasts, which specialize in high-pierce area damage in a short range. Higher tier beasts gain bonus damage to stunned bloons and later the ability to stun bloons themselves.
- The bottom path trains air beasts, which specialize in stalling bloons in a unique way. They have a target on the track and will grab groups of bloons, damaging them as it flies back and drops them on the target. They can even grab bloons in different lanes, changing which lane they travel on. Bloons up-track of the target will get scratched and take damage but will not be moved.
Pre-release
[edit | edit source]Development
[edit | edit source]While the Beast Handler released in version 36.0, assets for the tower, such as buff icons and upgrade descriptions, existed in the game's data in version 35.0. While the names of the upgrades are unchanged, the early descriptions are different. They suggest its beast system worked completely differently, requiring having multiple Beast Handlers with the same upgrade to access higher tiers (a mechanic only used by the tier 5 upgrades in the release version), and make no mention of Beast Power.

| “ | We feel Beast Handler balance is setting down nicely overall but it feels like the reposition cooldown increasing was far more impactful and unfun than intended, we still feel the initial delay was silly but are cutting it down again a little. — Update notes |
” |
Beast Handler reposition cooldown reduced ― 5s → 3s
| “ | Base handler's beast range felt too high starting off when considering the tower is built around sharing range between multiple Handlers so this range is being reduced. — Update notes |
” |
Merging/Beast positioning range reduced ― 60 → 50
| “ | The previous range reduction for Beast Handler broke fun starting strategies that weren’t ever able to fully recover, so this range is being given back again. — Update notes |
” |
Merging/Beast positioning range increased ― 50 → 60
