Velociraptor

Line 18:

'''Velociraptor''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles a velociraptor instead of an adasaurus. Its Beast Power is increased by +5, changing its Beast Power scale from 3–6 to 8–24.

The Velociraptor has increased range, pierce, damage, and splash radius.~~~~ It also gains a +3 damage ~~bonus~~ to stunned Bloons ~~and [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]~~, which scales with increased Beast Power.

The Velociraptor has increased range (20 to 24), pierce (8 to 12), damage (3 to 8), and splash radius (15 to 18). It also gains +3 damage to stunned Bloons, which scales with increased Beast Power.

Velociraptor is used at Power 18 and above due to its ability to one-shot groups of [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramics]] during mid-game. It can take out entire rushes during 63 in just two hits, or one attack per lane on split lane maps. It also does solid damage against blimps, but struggles to handle fortified blimps and will need some support here as well as repositioning to get enough time to pop them. Since it relies on one-shotting ~~ceramics~~, it can become a lot weaker if earlier towers in the track break open ~~ceramics~~ and cause pierce issues for it, requiring repositioning to handle ~~ceramic~~ rushes before then.

Low power Velociraptor is slow and weak compared to Power 6 [[Adasaurus]] before it, and it should always be merged to at least 18 power. Typically this is done with 2 Velociraptors plus an Adasaurus. Power 24 ~~does more blimp damage,~~ has ~~a bit~~ more consistency with a faster attack speed, and is useful if planning to upgrade to [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] later, but is much less important than reaching Power 18.

-The Velociraptor has increased range, pierce, damage, and splash radius.<!--bwiki would say "bite radius" but in bpedia there needs to be consistency--> It also gains a +3 damage bonus to stunned Bloons and [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], which scales with increased Beast Power.
