Juggernaut (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Juggernaut''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the Spike-o-pult's [[attack speed]] and replaces its spiked balls with much larger balls that travel much faster and further, deal +3 [[damage]] to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and +2 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s, can pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s, and have additional [[pierce]] (from 18 to 60). It also inflicts [[knockback]] on non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s (and deals +2 damage to them with {{BTD6 mk|Force vs Force}}), causing them to move backwards at 6× [[Bloon speed|speed]] (2× for Lead and Ceramic Bloons) briefly with each hit. [[Enhanced Eyesight (BTD6)|Enhanced Eyesight]] increases this knockback by 50% (9× and 3×, respectively).

Juggernaut is a strong tower for early game and early mid-game on maps with obstacles, such as [[Cornfield]], [[Ravine]], and [[Dark Dungeons]], where its projectiles can bounce off walls and hit Bloons repeatedly. However, on open maps, it falls short of other towers (such as Power 6 [[Adasaurus]]) in serving its role due to its rather low single-target damage. Unlike most towers of its price range, it stays relevant versus [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloons|Super Ceramics]], thanks to its consistent Ceramic knockback. Juggernaut is also a capable tower in [[Race Event]]s; like [[Spike-o-pult (BTD6)|Spike-o-Pult]], it should be placed along straight lines.

4-0-2 is the best crosspath for keeping Juggernaut useful in the late game with its much stronger knockback. 4-2-0 should be reserved for denser bloon rounds and Race Events, or if building up to [[Ultra-Juggernaut (BTD6)|Ultra-Juggernaut]].
