Introduced Version 24.0

Sauda is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 24.0. She can be unlocked for Monkey Money 5,000 starting at level 25.

Sauda swipes her twin swords at bloons, creating a slash wave that damages bloons. She has small range but attacks quickly. Her Level 3 ability is Leaping Sword, which sends Sauda to follow her target and strike onto the bloons. Her Level 10 ability is Sword Charge, creating copies of herself to slash the bloons across all lanes.

Mechanics

Sword slash

Sauda's sword slashes are large stationary projectiles that are offset slightly in front of her. Like Ice Monkeys and Ring of Fire, the radius of these projectiles scales with range buffs to allow her slashes to hit Bloons from further away when buffed. She has four attack animations that she uses at random, but their differences are purely visual.

Bloon Bleed

Bloon Bleed is unlocked at level 9. Sauda inflicts a damage over time effect on Bloons with her sword slashes, dealing damage every 2 seconds for just over 4 seconds. Regular Bloons take 1 damage per tick, while MOAB-Class Bloons take an additional 19 damage per tick (20 total). At level 17, the damage increases to 10 for all Bloons and +40 for MOAB-Class Bloons and lasts for exactly 6 seconds instead of 4.05 seconds.

Extra damage to stunned and "harmed"

The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason.

Starting from Level 7, Sauda deals more damage to stunned bloons. This affects her sword swipes and her activated abilities.

Starting from Level 11, Sauda deals more damage to bloons affected by any form of slowdown (including knockback) or a damage-over-time. This affects her sword swipes and her activated abilities.

Abilities

Leaping Sword

Half Cash icon This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it.
The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason.

Leaping Sword is unlocked at level 3. Upon activation, Sauda stops attacking for a brief amount of time to jump and crash at Bloons with her swords. Upon hitting a location, the "strike" area-of-effect deals 20 damage or 80 MOAB-Class damage, followed by an "after-sword" that continuously damages bloons that pass through its radius. It has a cooldown of 30 seconds. At level 12 damage is increased to 40 and MOAB-Class damage to 180. At level 15 damage is further increased to 80 and MOAB-Class damage to 220. At level 20 Damage is increased to 400 and MOAB-Class damage to 540. Ability deals bonus damage to stunned bloons starting from level 7, and bonus damage to bloons that are slowed, immobilized, or taking damage over time starting from level 11.

Sword Charge

Half Cash icon This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it.
The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason.

Sword Charge is unlocked at level 10. Upon activation, Sauda stops attacking for a brief amount of time to sweep backwards along the track with one copy of Sauda for every entry-to-exit combination. During Sword Charge, she moves at a set speed, dealing 30 damage to every bloon she passes through. The ability has 400 pierce and a 45 second cooldown. At level 14 Sauda sweeps through the track twice. At level 16 the damage is doubled from 30 to 60. At level 20 Sauda sweeps through the track three times. Damage is increased to 220 and pierce to 1400. Ability deals increased damage to bloons that are stunned, and starting from level 11 it does increased damage to bloons that are slowed, immobilized, or taking damage over time.

Yes, here it is the nerf you’ve all been waiting for. But as some in the community predicted, it’s not that much of a nerf. Sauda’s range has been tightened up as her role is specifically about high damage in a small, focused area.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
1–5
  • Nerf Attack range reduced ― 25 → 23
6–14
  • Nerf Attack range reduced ― 29 → 26
    • Note: range bonus reduced from +4 to +3
15+
  • Nerf Attack range reduced ― 33 → 29
    • Note: range bonus reduced from +4 to +3
While we feel Sauda’s power has been balanced fairly well, we have also felt that too much of this power is generally available while ignoring the synergies that she was intended to be built around.To correct this her damage will in total remain the same, but some key levels that increased damage will now instead buff her weakness bonuses. We would also like to make it clear that this has been in the works for some time and has nothing to do with the recent 1TC completion, so please don’t be mad at that person. This will mean fairly little to most players, who are not doing those sorts of challenges anyway.

  • Nerf Main attack: Damage reduced ― 4 → 3

Saving this for last, as it is the biggest rework here with the most to say. There was too much already changed to include even further changes with her all at once, but we want to take this rework further after seeing your feedback, so Sauda fans please take your time over the holidays to really get a feel for how this changes things. At first this looks like a lot of numbers going down, but that is not our only intention with the changes, Sauda’s feeling is far too much of a ‘set and forget’ play, leading her to be extremely overvalued on simple maps but have a highly lackluster feeling on many difficult ones that require further interaction. To steer away from this her base power is being lowered at a number of points, with some tweaks to both her abilities overall improving their power mainly with a huge buff to her level 7 & 11 Bloon Weakness debuffs now benefitting her abilities with CONSIDERABLY more damage than previously (previously +2 regardless of the ability damage)

Yea we see what everybody has been doing… Sauda having such a huge MOAB-Class bonus right from lv3 was silly, and this has been lowered

  • Nerf Leaping Sword Attack: impact MOAB damage reduced ― +80 → +60
  • Buff "Should no longer fail to target when intended target is popped early" (bug fix)

Levels Changes

  • Description changed ― "Sauda attacks even faster." → "Sauda attacks even faster, and Sword Charge sweeps all track paths two times!"
Sauda's early game feels exceptional and is seeing a pierce reduction, however as her Sword Charge struggles to break super ceramics as they first begin to appear we’re also filling a gap and allowing her to sweep the path twice from Lv14, Sword Charge damage is also being reduced at lv16 but this is only to keep the overall same power level now that it hits twice.

Levels Changes
All
  • Nerf Pierce reduced by 1 at all levels
    • Level 1: 4 → 3
    • Levels 2-5: 5 → 4
    • Levels 6-14: 7 → 6
    • Levels 15+: 9 → 8
14–19
  • Buff Sword Charge now sweeps the path two times
16–19
  • Nerf Sword Charge damage reduced ― 120 → 60
    • Note: Sword Charge damage at level 20 remains the same
  • Sauda's description changed ― "With a calm fury, Sauda can carve Bloons up with her twin razor-sharp swords." → "With calm fury, Sauda can carve Bloons up with her twin razor-sharp swords."
Sauda is generally too powerful & capable of being an easy hard carry for single lanes so her attack rate is being reduced across most levels.

Levels Changes

  • Nerf Sword slash: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.4s → 0.45s
5-7
  • Nerf Sword slash: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.32s → 0.36s

  • Nerf Sword slash: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.25s → 0.27s
14-17
  • Nerf Sword slash: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.16s → 0.18s
    • Note: Does not affect Level 18+ (0.1s)
Sauda becomes quite strong for her simplistic play style, so we’re slightly reducing the power of her Lv20 abilities to keep things balanced at the high end.
