Sheriff (BTD6)

Sheriff portrait

Sheriff is the protagonist Monkey of the Frontier Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. He serves as the sheriff of Sandytown after being appointed to that position by the Mayor of the town some time after his home was destroyed by Diamondback. Using the authority granted to him, he recruits other Monkeys to form a posse which works to protect the city from the Wild Bloons and track down Diamondback. He is controlled by the player while exploring the DLC's setting and can be deployed as a Tower during Bloon fights.

The stats of the Sheriff such as damage and range can be improved by buying upgrades at the General Store in Sandytown.

Appearance

Sheriff has a default western-themed outfit composed of a cowboy hat, boots and a dark brown jacket with a blue checkered pattern poncho over it. Players can change his appearance by equipping them with three pieces of equipment corresponding to headwear (which may also give him a mustache), body-wear and weapons. While deployed in battle, his attacks and abilities depend on this equipment. Following the art style of Legends, it also features a simpler facial features when compared to the Monkeys in the base game. Players can also change the in-game name of Sheriff and choose a Pet to follow him.

Giddy Up

Giddy Up is the Sheriff's exclusive ability which doubles the attack speed of themselves and all other Monkeys in range, but in exchange he consumes 1 more point of stamina per round. It can gain additional effects based on the equipment of the Sheriff. Unlike other abilities, it does not have fixed duration and instead it consumes a type of energy called Morale while is active at a rate of 4% per second. The players can turn on and off the effect of Giddy Up at any moment by clicking on the ability button (the activation has a cooldown of 3s). The closest analogue to this in BTD6 is the mana system for Magus Perfectus where players can switch between its regular attacks which drains mana and a drain beam to recharge it.

The amount of morale that Sheriff has to use his ability is shown in a bar above his portrait and players can increase the maximum amount by buying upgrades at the General Store. Morale will recharge passively while the ability is off at a rate of 0.5% per second.

Equipment

As the player progresses on the Frontier Legends storyline, they will have the ability to buy equipment for the Sheriff or obtain them from treasure chests which can grant him different attacks and passive buffs when used as a Tower during a Bloon fight. The player can change this equipment at a Campfire or at their Homestead in Sandytown.
