'''Mystic Twister''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|48.0}}. It causes all Magic Monkey projectiles to orbit around the tower instead of following the Monkey's [[Targeting option|targeting]], resembling the orbital glaives of [[Glaive Lord (BTD6)|Glaive Lord]], and gain extra pierce and lifespan. The orbiting radius is 40 units from the center of the [[Footprint]]. The amount of pierce and lifespan is increased with rarity (+50%, +100%, +200%). It only affects projectiles that travel on a straight line, with a few exceptions which include instant hits (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]), potions from [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemists]], and projectiles from [[Super Glue (BTD6)|Super Glue]].

The orbiting radius is 40 units from the center of the [[Footprint]], and the orbit is anticlockwise. The amount of pierce and lifespan is increased with rarity (+50%, +100%, +200%).

==~~Strategy~~==

It only affects projectiles that travel on a straight line, and exclude attacks that follow the track like [[Necromancer: Unpopped Army|Zombie Bloons]], potions from [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemists]], or target the track (e.g. [[Caltrops (BTD6)|Caltrops]]). It also does not affect projectiles that instantly reach its target (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]] with category modifiers), and [[Super Glue (BTD6)|Super Glue]] is also excluded even if its category is modified. The seeking behavior of upgrades like [[Guided Magic (BTD6)|Guided Magic]] and [[Echosense Precision]] are also overwritten by this Artifact.

~~{{Strategy needed}}~~

==Tips==

*This Artifact provides a tradeoff between range and pierce, so the map and the position of the Tower are extremely important to extract the most from this Artifact so towers should be placed in locations where [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooters]], [[Glaive Lord (BTD6)|Glaive Lord]] or [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]] would excel. However, as their attacks are now very limited on range, it is recommended to have towers that can perform the cleanup and help in unfavorable maps.

*The pierce bonus can help improve against dense rushes. Attacks that can't get orbited only get a massive pierce bonus, and spike-based attacks (e.g. [[Ninja Monkey (BTD6)|Ninja Monkey]]'s [[Caltrops (BTD6)|Caltrops]] and a class-buffed [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]) essentially equate to a damage bonus.

*[[Riptide Champion]] is one of the most powerful synergizers of Mystic Twister without class-buffing Artifacts. Its damage scaling and already high pierce lets it maximize its damage and destroy anything but Purple and Camo (without [[Echosense Precision]] or Camo detection buffs).
