Giganotosaurus

Line 18:

'''Giganotosaurus''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles a giganotosaurus instead of a tyrannosaurus rex. In order to upgrade to Giganotosaurus, the [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|T-Rex]] must have 3 additional merged T-Rexes. Its Beast Power is increased by +20, changing its Beast Power scale from 16–64 to 36–132, with the default being 84 with the three extra tier 4s.

The Giganotosaurus does significantly more damage to all its attacks, its base range is increased to 50, has a large splash radius, and can see over all obstacles. However, the bite attack has a +25% attack speed penalty. Ability cooldown for its Stomp ability is reduced from 40s to 25s, the Stomp ability covers the whole screen, and stuns most Bloons for longer. ~~Like T-Rex~~, ~~merging to max power allows~~ all ~~its~~ attacks to penetrate blimp layers.

{{strategy needed|Now that Giga now skips layers at any Power level, how does it do since v52.0}}

Giganotosaurus is very powerful, but has few practical uses. It has one of the simplest save-ups of any expensive tower thanks to the high strength of T-Rex, but ~~suffers greatly from not being able~~ to skip blimp layers ~~and attacking slower. Power 132 Giganotosaurus has greatly increased strength thanks to skipping blimp layers, but consumes nearly all of the cash one~~ makes in ~~a standard~~ [[CHIMPS]] ~~game, making it unviable in that game mode~~. Against [[Boss Bloon]]s, it is outclassed by [[Megalodon]], and it is not recommended for [[Freeplay]] due to the large space required to make it Power 132 and its weak strength at Power 36.

Its slow attack speed can be a nuisance, but its capability to skip blimp layers makes it not a bad choice in [[CHIMPS]].
