Corvus (BTD6): Difference between revisions

{{BTD6 last updated|51.0|section=y}}

Corvus has a high skill ceiling, and requires micromanagement to take full advantage of him. He has several strong spells that assist for each stage of the game. Use his [[Nourishment]] to allow him to level up quicker, but also save enough Mana to afford spells to defend. Overall, he stands out in [[CHIMPS]] and [[Half Cash]], because his spells can save a lot of cash once he is placed, which generally warrant the need for high micromanagement. Despite being notorious as "only good for sweaty tryhards", his skill ceiling is actually not as high as [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]], and he is still able to complete safe Black Border CHIMPS runs even if the player makes errors with his Mana and spell management.

Generally speaking, he is strong in the early-game with his Spirit, and scales his power throughout the game if he accelerates his leveling rate with fair optimization of Nourishment. [[Echo]] is an important spell if wanting to chain powerful spells on difficult rounds. For the mid-game, his role is a mid-game carry alongside a few other towers. In the late-game, [[Ancestral Might]] and [[Overload (BTD6)|Overload]] are his best assets for damage, and [[Frostbound]] for controlling blue MOABs. His best tower combinations are those for cleanup in case of micromanagement error during mid-to-late-game, such as [[Spiked Mines (BTD6)|Spiked Mines]] or [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]].

Corvus is very effective on maps with only one active lane per round, such as [[Erosion]], however he falls off somewhat on multi-lane maps. Setting his targeting on Close can improve the Spirit's consistency and avoids unnecessary chasing. On maps with distant simultaneous lanes, such as [[Bloody Puddles]], he can be used to ease density on the lane his Spirit focuses on.
