'''Ezili''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|7.0}}. She can be purchased for {{BTD6 mm|3000}} starting at [[level]] 25.

Ezili curses Bloons that she targets, which then take damage over time. Her base attack instantly hits its target, can target over line of sight blockers, and curses the targeted Bloon and deals damage to up to 5 nearby Bloons as well. As she levels up, she can curse multiple Bloons, improve her damage-over-time, and remove special properties from Bloons (even camo from [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] at higher levels). She is able to detect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s at all levels, and pop all Bloon types other than [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s, which require her Heartstopper ability.

*Starting at level 9, her curse attack strips the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]], [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]], and [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] properties of damaged non-MOAB-class Bloons. Level 16 allows her to decamo DDTs.

**'''Heartstopper''' (level 3) — For the duration, blocks the Regrow property of all Bloons and stops the Purple property.

**'''MOAB Hex''' (level 10) — Inflict a powerful curse onto a targeted MOAB-class Bloon, taking percentage damage and preventing them from spawning children. At level 20, she can affect [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s.

===Base attack===

Ezili's base attack is a "curse" attack, which instantly hits a target within range (the attack is not a projectile). She curses the targeted Bloon, applying a damage-over-time effect on the target and producing a splash that pops other Bloons. Both the curse and the splash damage can damage all Bloon types other than [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s.

Initially, her damage-over-time effect deals 2 damage every 2.5s and lasts up to 2.6s (meaning the cursed Bloon will take 2 damage instantly from the attack, and 2 more damage after 2.5s), the splash deals 1 damage and has 5 pierce with 8 radius, and she attacks every 1.2s. Her stats improve at higher levels:

|+

|Increases range from 43 to 45

|Increases range from 45 to 47. Increases curse duration from 4.05s to 6.05s, which make Bloons take 6 ticks of damage over time instead of 4

[[File:BTD6 Ezili HeartstopperAA.png|50px|right]]Prevents Bloons from [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|regrowing]] and allows [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|purple]] popping. It has a cooldown of 45s, with an initial cooldown of 15s.

The ability has a duration of 10 seconds when activated. During the duration, all Bloons of screen get applied a property that makes them unable to regrow (if they are regrow Bloons) and makes purple Bloons lose all immunities (including [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]). This effect lasts for 10 seconds. Regrow Bloons have the same animation they have when passing through a [[Grow Blocker (BTD6)|Grow Blocker village]] while under the effect.

At level 12, duration is increased to 15s and the effect also lasts 15s (instead of 10s and 10s). The ability cooldown also decreases to 40s (instead of 45s).

[[File:BTD6 Ezili SacrificialTotemAA.png|50px|right]]Spawns a totem at the target location (can be specified before using the ability) that grants camo detection, +1 pierce, +20% range, 0.85x attack cooldown (equivalent to +17.6% attack speed) and +25% projectile speed to all towers in range (of the placed totem). Placing the totem costs 10 lives (unable to place if unable to pay the live cost, and ignores mana shield "lives"). The ability has a cooldown of 90s, with an initial cooldown of 30s.

Wizards also receive and additional +1 pierce, and an additional 0.95x attack cooldown (for a total of 0.8075x attack cooldown, or +23.8% attack speed).

This ability is global, follows targetting priority and can only be activated if there is a valid target on the screen. It has a cooldown of 60 seconds, with an initial cooldown of 20s.

At level 20, the Hex can target BADs, deals 5% max HP + 1 damage every second (instead of 4% max HP +1 damage) and the cooldown decreases to 40s (instead of 60s).

Since her main attack applies damage over time, deals bonus damage to MOABs on later levels and the MOAB Hex ability deals %hp damage, Ezili's targeting priority is usually left on strong.

Another big strength is that, since it's the 2nd cheapest hero (tied with Sauda, more expensive than Quincy), it is easy to get early (it can even be used as starting tower on most easier maps).

Ezili comes short at reaching level 20 at round 100 (unless playing on Advanced or Expert map with monkey knowledge), so she will probably not be able to Hex the BAD.

Ezili is the one of the best heroes at trying to get to highest possible round in almost any situation (map, challenge...)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyvmFifeCIU Highest round in CHIMPS record]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shPxFusWryg Highest round on custom map record]</ref>, mainly because of the extreme value MOAB Hex provides at clearing several BADs and fortified BADs per round. The totem is also useful (outside of [[CHIMPS]]), so it is recommended to have some lives stored to be able to use it regularly when rounds get more difficult. Since most of Ezili strength in freeplay comes in form of abilities, it is important to have at least Energizer (which should be included in almost all setups anyways), and The Final Harmonic if possible. Both cooldown reduction buffs with monkey knowledge give slightly more than 100% uptime to Hex and Totem.
