Agent Jericho (Battles 2)

Agent Jericho iterations: Battles 2 (Highwayman Jericho • Star Captain Jericho)

Agent Jericho Covert Ops Battles Response Agent
Jericho is an elite Covert Ops agent who uses high tech subterfuge to sabotage and disrupt his opponents. Cost $850 XP curve ×1 (type 2) Roles Money Maker Saboteur Difficulty 5/5 Hero Alts Highwayman Jericho, Star Captain Jericho Introduced Version 1.10

Agent Jericho is a Hero in Bloons TD Battles 2, introduced in version 1.10. He costs  5,000 Monkey Money to unlock.

Agent Jericho uses a pistol to attack Bloons within his range, dealing 3 damage per shot. He cannot pop frozen Bloons or Lead Bloons and cannot detect Camo Bloons. As he levels up, his range, damage, and attack speed increase, he gains Camo detection, and he unlocks multiple passive and active methods of disrupting the opponent.

• Starting at level 2, he periodically adds an extra layer to natural Bloons on the opponent's side. At higher levels, he can add Bloon Mods and enhance sent Bloons as well.
• Starting at level 4, he reduces the cost of sending Bloons with Bloon Mods.
• He has two Activated Abilities:
  • Seize Assets (level 3) — Steals cash from the opponent over a short time and gives it to the player. At higher levels, it steals more cash and lasts longer.
  • Bloon Decoy (level 10) — Spawns a fake MOAB on the opponent's send path that cannot be popped and neutralises enemy projectiles that hit it. At higher levels, the decoy is replaced with a BFB or a ZOMG.

Mechanics

Pistol

Pistol dealing 3 damage to a White Bloon

Jericho fires a shot with his pistol every 0.9 seconds that deals 3 sharp-type damage. Each shot collides with the target instantly without any travel time and can only hit one Bloon. Its pierce cannot be buffed.

Levels

Level	Effect
6	Attack cooldown reduces from 0.9 seconds to 0.45 seconds, effectively doubling his attack speed.
7	Base damage increases from 3 to 5. Range increases from 40 units to 70 units. Can now target and hit Camo Bloons.
12	Pierce increases from 1 to 2. Each shot can now re-hit the target if it did not pop it, or jump to a new target within a 12-unit radius if it did, after 0.1 seconds. If it jumps, it attempts to follow Jericho's targeting, though it will default to the closest Bloon if it is not reachable.
16	Pierce increases to 3. Damage increases to 12.
19	Damage increases to 20.

Bloon Adjustment

Bloon Adjustment is a passive mechanic that unlocks at level 2. It causes every fourth natural Bloon that spawns on the opponent's side to gain an extra layer. It cannot add layers to Purple Bloons, Lead Bloons, Ceramic Bloons, or MOAB-Class Bloons. Adjusted White Bloons and Black Bloons both become Zebra Bloons.

Levels

Level	Effect
5	Adjusted Bloons now also gain a random applicable Bloon Mod (Camo, Regrow, Phayze, or Fortified), including Ceramics and MOAB-Class.
8	Now applies to every other Bloon.
13	Adjusted Bloons now gain two random Bloon Mods. For MOAB-Class Bloons, this means they always gain Fortified and Phayze.
15	Now also affects sent Bloons.

Bloon Mod discounts

Starting at level 4, Jericho is able to reduce the cost modifiers of Bloon Mods for Bloon sends.

Levels

Level	Effect
4	Reduces the Regrow Bloon cost modifier from ×1.6 to ×1.4.
7	Also reduces the Camo Bloon cost modifier from ×1.75 to ×1.6.
9	Also reduces the Fortified Bloon cost modifier from ×2 to ×1.7 for all Bloons that can be Fortified except BADs.
20	Now applies the reduced Fortified Bloon cost modifier to BADs.

Abilities

Seize Assets

Seize Assets unlocks at level 3. It steals a certain amount of cash from the opponent each second for a short time. If the opponent has less than the amount when it steals, it will only take as much as the opponent has left, so the opponent can effectively negate it by spending all their cash. Initially, it steals up to $25 per second and lasts for 10 seconds. It has a 70-second cooldown and starts with a 28-second cooldown.

Levels	Max cash/second	Duration	Max total cash
3-5	$25	10 seconds	$250
6-8	$65		$650
8-10	$100		$1,000
11-13	$130		$1,300
14-17	$250		$2,500
18+		15 seconds	$3,750

Bloon Decoy

Bloon Decoy unlocks at level 10. It spawns a decoy MOAB on the opponent's send path, which is completely indestructible and consumes all pierce from any projectiles that hit it. It otherwise functions identically to the Bloon it is based on, even having the same movement speed (including the speed modifiers from rounds 25 and above) and the same priority bracket for strong targeting. The decoy disappears after travelling ⅔rds of the length of its path. It has a 90-second cooldown and no initial cooldown. Unlike other abilities, the cooldown does not reset if Agent Jericho is sold; it continues to cool down even if Jericho is sold and re-bought.

Levels

Level	Effect
12	Now spawns a decoy BFB.
17	Now spawns a decoy ZOMG.
20	Cooldown reduces to 45 seconds.

Agent Jericho has serviceable single-target damage, but most importantly is able to disrupt the player by stealing money, buffing bloons (including the creation of early Camos on Round 8), and blocking of projectiles. He can chip away a few high-HP bloons at a time when set on Strong, so will need other towers to hold off large groups and the fast-moving Yellows and Pinks.

Unlike the other Jerichos, normal Jericho excels against players who may lack competence at preventing steals, due to his highest steal-to-cooldown rate among the Jerichos, and against late-game players who rely heavily on projectiles (e.g. Ninja).

Version 4.0

“

Highwayman Jericho’s usage rate has dropped off significantly ever since his last nerf, however we believe that this is simply due to the other Jerichos being the clear favorites now, rather than Highwayman being too weak relative to all the other heroes. Therefore, we have left Highwayman as is and targeted the other two Jerichos instead.

3+	Seize Assets initial cooldown increased ― 17.5s → 28s

Version 4.8

“

MOAB Decoy was proving to be too decisive in late game battles. Allowing it to be affected by speed ramping means it spends less overall time on screen and thus reduces the amount of time it can serve as a distraction.
