'''Nomad''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 3 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the Desperado's [[attack speed]] by 2% for each [[Bloon]] within its [[range]], up to a maximum of +50% with 25 Bloons in range. Unlike [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]] and [[Standoff]], it is affected by Bloons the Desperado cannot target (e.g. Bloons behind [[line of sight]] blockers or [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s when it does not have [[Camo detection]]). Additionally, whenever a [[life]] is lost, the Desperado's range increases by a flat +16 units and its [[attack speed|attack cooldown]] reduces by 40% for 15 seconds. If the life loss was caused by a Bloon leaking, it also generates [[cash]] equal to double the leaked Bloon's cash value (factoring in cash per pop modifiers in later [[round]]s, but not effects like [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]]). If a Bloon leaking triggers multiple Desperados with this upgrade simultaneously, all of them receive the buff, but the leaked Bloon only generates cash once. After activation, this effect has a 60-second cooldown. Each Desperado with this upgrade has a separate cooldown.

Nomad's passive effect is not considered an [[Activated Ability]] (unlike the passive abilities of [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]] and [[Bomb Blitz (BTD6)|Bomb Blitz]]), but is still affected by ability cooldown modifiers. Leaking a Bloon without losing lives (e.g. leaking [[Test Bloon]]s or leaking with [[Legend of the Night (BTD6)|Legend of the Night]]'s passive ability active) or losing only [[Mana Shield (BTD6)|Mana Shield]] or [[Relic Knowledge|Mana Bulwark]] lives does not trigger the effect, but losing [[Soul Barrier]] lives does.

==Strategy==

~~{{strategy needed}}~~

Nomad's speed buff is not worth it unless the [[Quickdraw]] buff cannot be maximized. Nomad has no synergy with [[Standoff]], pistols are already bad against groups, but works well for [[Enforcer]]'s shotgun. The life loss trigger can temporarily assist in DPS, but should never be relied for income purposes. [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]]'s Sacrificial Totem can be used to manually trigger Nomad's passive to increase DPS.

Nomad's speed buff ~~per nearby Bloon~~ is ~~small compared to top path benefits, and doesn't offset enough compared to~~ [[Standoff]]~~'s penalty. It's~~ still ~~an okay upgrade~~ if ~~there's many bloons in range~~, ~~though only significant~~ for [[Enforcer]]. The life loss trigger can temporarily assist in DPS, but ~~its cash per leaked bloon~~ should never be ~~entirely~~ relied on for income ~~since patching the ability to stack the cash generation of multiple Nomads~~. [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]]'s Sacrificial Totem ~~has some synergy with~~ Nomad~~, triggering its speed bonus on demand~~.
