Giganotosaurus is very powerful, but has few practical uses. It has one of the simplest save-ups of any expensive tower thanks to the high strength of T-Rex, but suffers greatly from not being able to skip blimp layers and attacking slower. Power 132 Giganotosaurus is very powerful, but consumes nearly all of the cash one makes in a standard [[CHIMPS]] game, making it unviable in that game mode. Against [[Boss Bloon]]s, it is outclassed by [[Megalodon]], and it is not recommended for [[Freeplay]] due to the large space required to make it Power 132 and its weak strength at Power 36.

Giganotosaurus
Portrait of Giganotosaurus
Icon of GiganotosaurusThe biggest and most fierce dinosaur of them all, Giganotosaurus can shred almost any Bloon instantly and with ease. Stomp ability hits the whole map and lasts longer. Requires 3 additional Tyrannosaurus Handlers to control.
Tower Beast Handler — Path 2 — Tier 5
XP cost 90,000
Cash cost $51,000 — Easy
$60,000 — Medium
$64,800 — Hard
$72,000 — Impoppable

Giganotosaurus is the Beast Handler's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. In order to upgrade to Giganotosaurus, the T-Rex must have 3 additional merged T-Rexes.

Giganotosaurus does significantly more damage to all its attacks and its base range is increased to 50. However, the bite attack has a +25% attack speed penalty. Ability cooldown for its Stomp ability is reduced from 35s to 25s, the Stomp ability covers the whole screen, and stuns most bloons for longer. Like T-Rex, merging to max power allows all its attacks to penetrate MOAB-class layers.

Strategy

Giganotosaurus is very powerful, but has few practical uses. It has one of the simplest save-ups of any expensive tower thanks to the high strength of T-Rex, but suffers greatly from not being able to skip blimp layers and attacking slower. Power 132 Giganotosaurus has greatly increased strength thanks to skipping blimp layers, but consumes nearly all of the cash one makes in a standard CHIMPS game, making it unviable in that game mode. Against Boss Bloons, it is outclassed by Megalodon, and it is not recommended for Freeplay due to the large space required to make it Power 132 and its weak strength at Power 36.

As our newest tower to be added to BTD6, we went over feedback for every path and made a large number of adjustments addressing a variety of points.
— Update notes
  • Buff Top and Middle path Beast Handler paths can now be targeted by Overclock and Ultraboost
  • Buff Tyrannosaurus Rex and Giganotosaurus Max Merge Bonus: Overkill damage on MOABs now distributes to the children of that target
  • Neutral Stomp ability now scales with Challenge Editor ability cooldown slider (bug fix)
Beast Handler’s general repositioning feels far too free right now, the reposition cooldown is being increased to a more reasonably noticeable number so this feels like a meaningful cost.
— Update notes
  • Buff Giganotosaurus: Now ignores line of sight
  • Buff Ability: cooldown reduced ― 35s → 25s
    • Note: Max-power and mid-power ability cooldowns also decreased
  • Nerf Beast: Reposition cooldown increased ― 0.5s → 5s
  • Buff Beast Handler reposition cooldown reduced ― 5s → 3s
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $70,000 → $60,000
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $485 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
In going over our large list of price changes for Beast Handler’s lower tiers in 42 this change was received very positively, however we did not realize that in making this change we killed off all chance of dual-beast handlers being used as a round 1 starting option for under $650 in hard modes – So we gotta do that math all over again and convert it for difficulty, painful 😀 All T1 beast prices changed to allow 110 & 101 beast handler combos to be placed for under $650 in hard mode, all T2 & T3 prices shifted around to keep these same cost ratios. [...] We’re slightly reducing beast reposition cooldown as the tiny range leaves movement very tight, which is especially painful for Microraptor path given the low range.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $185 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Beast: Reposition cooldown reduced ― 3s → 2s
  • Buff Dinosaurs: Now spawns within 30% of their range to the track
  • Nerf Merging/Beast positioning range reduced ― 60 → 50
As a quality of life improvement, Beast Handler movement cooldowns have now been separated
— Update notes
  • Buff Fish & Dino beast reposition cooldowns are now independent
  • Buff Stomp ability: Initial ability cooldown no longer has initial cooldown ― 1.6667s → 0s (undocumented)
  • Buff Can now move beasts onto ice and ink platforms. Beasts with only ice/ink platforms as valid placement will no longer randomly choose a location when attempting to place into ice/ink platforms. (undocumented)
  • Buff Merging/Beast positioning range increased ― 50 → 60
On the other hand Giganotosaurus’ ability damage is increasing to feel more worthy of a T5 ability.
— Update notes
  • Buff Stomp ability: Base damage increased ― 150 → 300
    • Note: Damage for 132 (maximum) Beast Power increased from 950 to 1100, and damage for 84 (default) Beast Power increased from 550 to 700
Giganotosaurus is getting something of a fix to its stun which was previously stunning BFBs for longer than MOABs, additionally it is seeing the long requested change to finally after all this time become best friends with permaspike, that’s right, Giganotosaurus was spotted at Permaspike's birthday and we have eye witness reports that they have signed a buddy agreement. Now it can break through Moab layers at the cost of pierce.
— Update notes
  • Buff Ability: Stun duration for blue MOABs increased ― 3s → 8s
  • Buff Main attack: Damage now soaks through MOAB-Class layers at any Beast Power, instead of only at max Beast Power
  • Nerf Main attack: Pierce reduced ― 60 → 44
  • Nerf Main attack: Pierce scaling with Beast Power reduced ― +90 → +66
    • Note: With both changes combined the pierce at maximum Beast Power is reduced from 150 to 110
2-5-0
  • Nerf Crosspathing Barracuda with Microraptor, Golden Eagle, or their higher tiers now reduces the range of the Barracuda ― 35 → 30 (bug)
    • Neutral Overall range with these crosspaths is effectively the same as it was prior to this update
2-5-0
  • Buff Barracuda: Range increased to match other crosspaths ― 30 → 35 (bug fix)
