"deployment range" is an important distinction to just "range"; rosalia may have high deployment range but she can only focus in one area at a time with her attacking range. also removed 2mpc (doesn't seem to add much, and "high deployment range" sorta implies 2mpc move away is an option; and no, there's not a notable case where p6 ada should be moved away in non-challenge gameplay)

'''Adasaurus''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles an adasaurus instead of a microraptor. Its Beast Power is increased by +2, changing its Beast Power scale from 1 to 3–6.

Adasaurus does relatively high damage in a compact area, and has the advantage of high deployment range and quick re-positioning, plus the popping of early Leads. At lower Beast Power, it does decent damage, but suffers from unreliability, due to its low range and relatively small bite radius. Merging is very beneficial, as the increased damage skips many more layers, and the greater attack speed improves its consistency. Although the Power 4 and 5 Adasaurus do have the advantage of much better deployment range, and gains extra damage with cheap Microraptor merges, merging one Adasaurus for Power 6 is more cost-efficient.

Adasaurus does relatively high damage in a compact area, with the advantage of quick re-positioning and high deployment range, plus the popping of early Leads. Low-power Adasaurus does decent damage, but suffers from unreliability, due to its low range and relatively small bite radius. Merging is beneficial to allow it to skip more layers, and greater attack speed improves its consistency. Power 6 with a second Adasaurus more cost-efficient but has a higher saveup and has less deployment range.


When merged to Power 6, Adasaurus becomes a very powerful early-game tower that mostly wipes out all Bloons (except [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]]) that pass through its range, while needing only a cheap clean-up tower, such as a base [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]] to take care of its few leaks before Round 40 on most maps. It remains powerful for its cost into the mid-game, and can be purchased with [[Barracuda]], which is also very powerful. The Power 6 Adasaurus is very strong in [[Race Event]]s as well, thanks to its high pierce and good damage. It can also be used in [[2 MegaPops]] challenges for a difficult starting tower, carrying the early-to-midgame while being able to move it out of the way to avoid stealing pops.
When merged to Power 6, Adasaurus excels at carrying the early-game, remains powerful for its cost into the mid-game, and very strong in [[Race Event]]s as well, thanks to its high pierce and good damage. In base gameplay, it only needs a cheap cleanup tower, such as a base [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]], to take care of its few leaks before Round 40 on most maps. Together with Power 6 [[Barracuda]], both of them are cheap but effective supports.
<!--rmved 2mpc thing; we talked about "high deployment range" already, and this is implied-->


The Adasaurus also pairs very well with cheap options to slow Bloons, such as a 0-1-0 [[Bigger Globs (BTD6)|Bigger Globs]] Glue Gunner in order to provide more time for the Ada to pop stronger targets down.
