==Strategy==

{{main strategy}}Lych is a boss that punishes the player from ~~using too many~~ buffs on their towers, but is important to remember that Lych does not steal all the buffs that towers can receive and has limited range of [[Range|100 units]] ~~before tier 5~~, so by knowing which buffs can or can't be stolen and placing your buffed towers far away from Lych are useful ways to play around its mechanics.

{{main strategy}}Lych is a boss that punishes the player from relying on buffs for their towers, but is important to remember that Lych does not steal all the buffs that towers can receive and has a limited range of [[Range|100 units]], so by knowing which buffs can or can't be stolen and placing your buffed towers far away from Lych are useful ways to play around its mechanics.

~~The best tower~~ to ~~defend Tier 1 Lych~~ and ~~providing heavy damage for Tier 2 is the~~ [[~~Elite Defender~~ (BTD6)|~~Elite Defender~~]], ~~it is already a very good option for low tier bosses but it is really amazing against Lych thanks~~ to the ~~Lych-soul lives drain mechanic as~~ it ~~triggers the passive ability~~ to ~~quadruple its attack speed, making quick work from the soul and resurrected MOABs if set to First or Strong targeting and shredding Lych itself with the remaining time~~. ~~Just~~ make ~~sure~~ to ~~place the Elite Defender far from the track~~ as ~~the passive ability can be stolen. Make sure~~ to ~~sell this tower if it is still on the map for Tier 5~~.

Because of Lych's Regen property allowing it to potentially recover large amounts of health, cheap options to constantly strip its Regen, such as [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]] and [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]], are valuable to distribute across the map to ensure it never gets to heal. This same trait make the [[Root of all Nature]] a highly effective Paragon to use against it, as it deals significantly more damage to Regen Bloons.

~~Other common~~ options for low tier Lych are towers that can deal with the Boss, its soul and the resurrected MOABs at the same time like [[Sticky Bomb (BTD6)|Sticky Bomb]] / [[Master Bomber (BTD6)|Master Bomber]], [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]] and [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]]. Defenses that are more centralized in a single place of the map like [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]] or [[Avatar of Wrath (BTD6)|Avatar of Wrath]] are less effective against Lych due its speed and the ethereal phase specially in multi-lane maps.

If additional defense against the resurrected MOABs are needed, the best option is to add towers that can stall them from any position in the map like [[MOAB Shove (BTD6)|MOAB Shove]], and [[Maim MOAB (BTD6)|Maim MOAB]] and let them or other towers deal with them before they leak. Insta-kills like [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]] are also useful in this situation, but be careful of slower ones like [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili's]] MOAB Hex, as the bloons might leak before they are defeated.

Tiers 3 to 5 can be handled by [[Paragon|Paragons]] and other expensive towers, those are also likely able to deal with the soul and the resurrected MOABs, provided they are still on range. Because of its ability to spawn Lych-souls across the entire track, is important to have enough DPS along the track to destroy them, not mattering where they spawn, towers that can quickly stall them and/or have backup towers such as [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] under a [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|MIB]] Village.

[[Permanent Brew (BTD6)|Permanent Brew]], [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] and [[Homeland Defense (BTD6)|Homeland Defense]] are common towers that are used against Bosses, but they should not be used rashly against Lych as their buffs will only be purged. Also be wary of farms that are under [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]] or [[Ultraboost (BTD6)|Ultraboost]] effects.
