Pop and Awe (BTD6)

Line 19:

'''Pop and Awe''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces Artillery Battery's Bombardment ability with a new ability named Pop and Awe that stuns all Bloons and blimps (excluding [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] and [[Boss Bloon|Bosses]], while allowing all others to inch forward), does 20 damage per second to everything on the screen and immediately to any newly spawned Bloon, has a cooldown of 60 seconds, and lasts for 8 seconds. With the 0-5-2 crosspath, the ability also applies [[Burny Stuff (BTD6)|Burny Stuff]] that deals 36 damage per tick of every 1.25 seconds for up to 7.5 seconds.

Pop and Awe also gains a permanent 4x attack speed compared to [[Artillery Battery (BTD6)|Artillery Battery]] (with the ability inactive). In addition, several damage bonuses of Artillery Battery are improved (+2 → +8 against stunned targets, +1 → +2 against BADs and Bosses), and the blast radius is increased from 20 to 23 (28 to 32.2 with 1/2-5-0). With the 0-5-2 crosspath, the [[Burny Stuff (BTD6)|Burny Stuff]]'s damage per tick is increased from 6 to 20 and its duration is increased from 3.75 seconds to 7.5 seconds. Pop and Awe also increases the bonus damage of all Artillery Batteries against BADs and Bosses by an additional +1 (total of 2).

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 stunned damage. Use its ability when there are many large and dangerous clumps of Bloons/blimps or many DDTs on the screen. Towers that can clean up Bloons that leak, such as [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]], are recommended in combination with Pop and Awe. Despite its increased BAD and Boss damage, it does weak damage to those types. Use [[MOAB Eliminator (BTD6)|MOAB Eliminator]] or [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] to help out against the round 100 BAD.
