'''Striker Jones''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. He is unlocked at [[level]] 21.

Striker Jones shoots explosive shells from his bazooka, popping up to 10 Bloons in a small blast radius and pushing them back. Initially, he attacks every 1.2s. At higher levels, he can buff Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys, ~~and even reset their abilities and double their damage and~~ pierce. Starting ~~from~~ level 5, he allows every explosive to have a 50% chance to ignore Black Bloon properties, increasing to 100% at level 19. ~~Level~~ 8 ~~allows him to improve~~ the pierce and range of all nearby towers.

At higher levels, he can buff Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys, plus additional benefits that improve efficiency of explosives, including extra pierce. He cannot target [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s without support.

Striker Jones is a solid hero for counteracting the explosive immunity, and serves well in strategies that focus on Bombs and/or Mortars. Additionally, his bonus percentage pierce buff improves the damage output of [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]].

Striker Jones is a solid hero for counteracting the explosive immunity, and serves well in strategies that focus on Bombs and/or Mortars. Additionally, his bonus percentage pierce buff improves the damage output of [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]. His main attack also does solid damage and Bloon knockback, though less important than his buffs.

Concussive Shell is a strong support ability, helping to stall Bloon waves such as on round 63. On later rounds, Concussive Shell may be spammed to help stall large groups of MOAB-Class Bloons. Since this ability is locked on Strong, focus on dealing with weak clumps with your other towers.
