'''The Blazing Sun''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>It ~~increases~~ the ~~damage~~ of its pistol ~~shots~~ from 6 to 20, ~~grants them~~ 40 ~~extra~~ damage to ~~Ceramics, reduces the~~ [[~~attack speed~~|~~attack cooldown~~]] ~~between bursts~~ from 1.2 seconds to 0.3 seconds, changes ~~damage type~~ from {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}} to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}~~, and grants a special mechanic that changes its [[attack speed]] and allows it to inflict [[damage over time]] based on the number of shots it has fired.~~<section end="lede"/>

'''The Blazing Sun''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade adds a mechanic that changes its behavior depending on how many pistol shots it fires and Bloons it destroys. Its [[attack speed]] lowers slightly each time it fires a shot, but increases each time it fully pops a Bloon. If it shoots more often than it pops layers for long enough, it starts applying Fire-type [[damage over time]] in an area around each Bloon it hits. It resets if it goes long enough without firing any shots.

This upgrade also improves the following base stats of its pistol attack:

*Damage per shot increases from 6 to 20, and now deals +40 damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s

*Attack cooldown reduces from 1.2 seconds to 0.3 seconds (without affecting the time it takes to unload a full burst)

*Damage type changes from {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}} to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}<section end="lede"/>

== Mechanics ==

The Blazing Sun has a counter that starts at 0 and increases by 1 each time it fires a shot, ~~which is capped at 75~~. The counter resets if ~~The Blazing Sun~~ does not attack for 0.88 seconds.{{fn|Exactly 53 frames}}

The Blazing Sun has a counter that starts at 0 and caps at 75. It increases by 1 each time it fires a shot, but reduces by 1 each time it fully destroys a Bloon (with either a pistol shot or its damage over time). The counter resets if the tower does not attack for 0.88 seconds.{{fn|Exactly 53 frames}}

~~Once~~ the counter ~~has reached~~ 50, each shot also generates a small area of effect (12 radius) with 8 [[pierce]] that sets all Bloons on fire. The area of effect deals no damage by itself, but the [[damage over time]] deals 75 damage every 1.5 seconds for 12.05 seconds.

While the counter is at 50 or more, each shot also generates a small area of effect (12 radius) with 8 [[pierce]] that sets all Bloons on fire. The area of effect deals no damage by itself, but the damage over time deals 75 damage every 1.5 seconds for 12.05 seconds.

Its attack cooldown increases based on the counter (reducing its [[attack speed]]). This can reduce its attack cooldown to below 0.88 seconds, which can cause the counter to reset.

<math display="block">\text{attack cooldown}=\frac{\text{base attack cooldown}}{1-0.01\times\text{counter}}</math>

~~If a Bloon is destroyed by a shot or burn status, the counter reduces by 1.~~
