Alluring Melody: Difference between revisions

'''Alluring Melody''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It unlocks a new [[attack]] for the Mermonkey that pulls non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s within range into a trance every 12 seconds. While the area of effect is active, any Bloons that enter the area of effect lose [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]] properties, instantly take the total remaining damage of [[damage over time]] if they have any (capped at 50 damage each), and circle around the tower anticlockwise until the trance ends. It lasts for 6 seconds and can affect up to 6 Bloons at a time, returning any tranced Bloons to where they were before when it ends. This upgrade also increases the [[pierce]] of the Mermonkey's trident splashes from 3 to 9.

[[Crosspath]]ing with [[Trident Efficiency]] increases the trance attack's [[attack speed]], reducing the delay between trances. Crosspathing with [[Trident Swiftness]] further increases its attack speed and increases the speed of circling Bloons by 50%. Crosspathing with [[Sharper Prongs]] increases the pierce of the trance from 6 to 8.<section end="lede"/>

The trance attack repeatedly pulls in bloons every 0.3s (0.27s with 1-0-3, 0.234s with 2-0-3), sucking in up to 6 non-blimp bloons (8 with 0-1-3) at a time. Ceramic Bloons consume 2 pierce and cannot overflow its pierce limit. Upon pulling in a bloon, the latest damage-over-time effect on a bloon deals all its damage instantaneously, capped at 50 damage. Bloons affected the trance will orbit around the Mermonkey for 6 seconds, with radius of 30 units, and once no longer tranced it cannot be pulled in again for 4 seconds after the orbit ends. Bloons are allowed to have their DoTs triggered again while tranced. This attack also pauses the trident attack for 1.2 seconds (1.02s with 1-0-3, 0.804s with 2-0-3).
