Beast Handler (BTD6)

Line 140:

Water and land beasts appreciate from repositioning to catch Bloons from a deployable area around the Beast Handler. The Beast Handler's big range is not to be confused for the range of the beast itself. Place the beast along a bend, or anywhere where it will have maximum coverage of one lane. There is a cooldown to repositions, which prevents spamming it; practise quickly placing the beast ahead of the Bloons in a general location without getting too picky about pixel perfectness. Persistent mid-round micro is not needed to take full advantage of these beasts, except for challenges that limit cash or tiers (e.g. Contested Territory).

Air beasts require basic knowledge about Bloon lanes, but otherwise needs little micro. There are two lane-based mechanics that are vital for mastering air beasts: the percentage distance of each lane's entrance and exit, and identifying traversing lanes. Scratching is less important than grabbing, but by placing the target reticle far enough, it can prevent the air beast from spending too much time moving Bloons. Traversing lanes are a great way to minimize flight distance while sending Bloons back a large distance from the exit.

Traversing lanes are a great way to minimize flight distance while sending Bloons back a large distance from the exit.

Starting at tier 2, beasts can have other beasts merged into them, increasing their stats. This is generally more cost efficient than keeping multiple of the same beast on the field, and easier to control.
