Pop and Awe (BTD6)

Line 28:

~~{{Empty}}~~

Pop and Awe is among the strongest Tier 5s for its cost, being one of the top options for [[CHIMPS]]. The 4x attack speed and extra damage bonuses greatly increase its damage output, allowing it to sweep through the late-game.

It is especially powerful on maps with optimal loops, such as [[Moon Landing (BTD6)|Moon Landing]] and [[Dark Path]]. Generally, target the blast on the best loop, and if none is available, target it on the most frontal clump of Bloons/blimps. The 2-5-0 crosspath is optimal for increased damage, pierce, and blast radius. Towers that stun blimps, such as [[Relentless Glue (BTD6)|Relentless Glue]], greatly aid Pop and Awe thanks to allowing it to utilize its extreme bonus damage to stunned Bloons/blimps. [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] is the best hero for it, thanks to his plethora of buffs to Mortars and Concussive Shell stun granting bonus damage. Use its ability when there are many large and dangerous clumps of Bloons/blimps or many DDTs (its second most significant weakness, after the BAD) on the screen. Towers that can clean up Bloons that leak due to retargeting mishaps, such as [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] (which conveniently benefits from Striker's pierce buff), are recommended in combination with Pop and Awe.
