there really doesn't need to be a mechanics section for the trident when it's the same as the previous tier, just with slightly different stats

'''Arctic Knight''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In addition to the Ice Jet ability, tridents deal base 8 damage instead of 4, deal double base damage to MOAB-class, and grow in power faster (75% instead of 50%). Wavelets also do 8 damage instead of 4.
'''Arctic Knight''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It improves the Mermonkey's trident attack and unlocks the Ice Jet [[Activated Ability]]. The ability lasts for 3 seconds, during which the Mermonkey stops using its trident attack, instead rapidly firing ice balls straight ahead (with a small degree of random spread) that bounce off of walls. The ice balls deal 20 [[Damage type|Frigid-type]] [[damage]] (which does not soak through layers) with 240 [[pierce]], and freeze up to 3 layers of non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s for 3 seconds. By default, the ability targets Bloons over infinite [[range]] according to the tower's current [[targeting option]], but the player can also lock the attack in one direction like a [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]] using its [[Monkey Special]]. [[Crosspath]]ing with [[Echosense Precision]] reduces the random spread angle of the attack. Its cooldown is 45 seconds.


The Ice Jet ability stops the trident attack, instead rapidly throwing ice balls for 3 seconds, with 45 seconds ability cooldown. By default, they attack targets anywhere on screen based on targeting priority. A targeting reticle can be placed anywhere on screen to only aim towards a specific point.  
This upgrade increases the base damage of the tridents and wavelets from 4 to 8, and they now +4 damage to frozen Bloons and +8 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s. It also causes the tridents to grow in damage by 75% per second (112.5% per second with the [[Trident Swiftness]] [[crosspath]]) instead of 50%.<section end="lede"/>


==Mechanics==
==Ability==
===Trident===
This upgrade gives the trident attack the following benefits over [[Riptide Champion]]:
*Increased base damage from 4 to 8, deals +4 damage to frozen Bloons and +8 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons.
*Trident wavelets do 8 damage instead of 4, deals +4 damage to frozen Bloons and +8 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons.
*Grows faster, by +75% instead of +50%. With 2-4-0 crosspath, the growth rate increases to +112.5% instead of +75%.
 
Like [[Riptide Champion]], tridents grow in projectile radius and damage at a steady rate, and create two wavelets at 180° apart that deal non-scaling damage and lose projectile size as they travel. Tridents have 25 pierce and 130 projectile speed. With [[Trident Swiftness]] (2-4-0), projectile speed is increased to 195, but lasts 1.0256 seconds, resulting in about the same projectile distance and damage.

'''Ice Jet''' is Arctic Knight's [[Activated Ability]]. When activated, the Mermonkey stops throwing tridents and instead rapidly shoots ice balls for 3 seconds, at a rate of 0.1s per ice ball (affected by attack speed buffs), randomly spread over a 30° angle. Each ice ball deals 20 damage that doesn't soak through layers (meaning the extra damage only matters for Bloons with more than 1 health), has 240 pierce, and freezes non-MOAB-Class Bloons for 3 seconds. They can bounce off obstacles, but not the edges of the map, and can rehit Bloons after bouncing. They last for up to 7.5 seconds on screen normally and can carry over one round, and has a lifespan cap of 15 seconds (which can be reached via external buffs). The ability has a 45-second cooldown.
