Pouākai damages any bloon type, does extra base damage and +80 MOAB-class damage instead of +10, has much more pierce, no longer has a flight speed penalty while picking up MOAB-class bloons, and can pick up ZOMGs.

==Strategy== | |||
Pouākai is an exceptionally powerful Tier 5, trivializing all rounds before the BAD on the vast majority of maps. However, some slowdown support is needed against DDTs (such as [[Relentless Glue (BTD6)|Relentless Glue]] and [[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)|Bloon Sabotage]] to prevent Pouākai from chasing them, and extra BAD damage is needed on shorter maps. | |||
The save-up to Pouākai from Condor can be done with relative ease on most maps, but is challenging on [[Expert]] maps. On multi-lane maps, it is recommended to use 4 Power 16 Giant Condors instead of 1 Power 64 Giant Condor for the save-up (merging to Power 64 when Pouākai is affordable), due to the single Condor's greater susceptibility to chasing, but the Power 64 Condor is better for save-up on single-lane maps. The save-up also necessitates a cleanup tower (such as [[Velociraptor]]) or [[Hero]] (such as [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]] or [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]]) to pop Bloons that Condor is susceptible to leaking when it chases. If Pouākai cannot be purchased before Round 80, extra defense to break down the ZOMG is needed. | |||
Power 84 Pouākai is very powerful, and can hold its own up to Round 100 on most maps. However, it is still recommended to go for Power 132 for increased flight speed, increased damage, and increased attack speed and grab rate. | |||
