Velociraptor is the Beast Handler's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. The tower now handles a Velociraptor instead of an Adasaurus, with increased range, pierce, damage, and splash radius. It also gains a +3 damage bonus to stunned Bloons and blimps, which increases with more beast power.

Strategy

Power 8 Velociraptor suffers from unreliability, due to its short range, but Power 24 Velociraptor is a very powerful mid-game tower that one-shots Ceramics and also does solid blimp damage. To maximize its effectiveness, re-position it when large amounts of Bloons get past its range. Repositioning is especially needed for blimps, which Velociraptor generally cannot pop alone when permanently set in one spot.

Merging into Velociraptor is recommended, as an unmerged Velociraptor is weak and unreliable. For efficient merges, merging two Velociraptors to max power will save the most money. Although Power 16 is able to one-shot Ceramics, Power 24 is still optimal; the maximized attack speed significantly improves its consistency.

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
The lower tiers on middle path Microraptor and Velociraptor are seeing all-round reductions as both have too high a base power and benefit too much from merges, gaining an overall greater attack speed benefit percentage-wise from merges than Trex does.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Velociraptor: Attack cooldown scale ― 0.3951 → 0.3105
    • Note: Max-power attack cooldown increased from 0.5049s to 0.5895s
  • Nerf Velociraptor: Base damage ― 12 → 9
  • Nerf Velociraptor: Damage gained from merges ― 24 → 18
    • Note: Max-power damage decreased from 36 to 27
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. [...] Velociraptor performs as one of the most exceptional early tier upgrades in the game. We’ve been going tame on this path so far as we’re happy for it to stay one of the top options, however it is too far ahead still so we are smoothing out the attack rates to match T-rex.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Beast: Reposition cooldown increased ― 0.5s → 5s
  • Nerf Attack cooldown increased ― 0.9s → 1s (attack speed reduced by 10%)
  • Buff Attack delay reduction from merge increased ― 0.3105s → 0.3439s
    • Note: Max-power attack cooldown increased from 0.5895s to 0.6561s
  • Buff Beast Handler reposition cooldown reduced ― 5s → 3s
When first creating Beast Handler we balanced the T1-3 upgrade costs with a goal of creating a decision point between spending free playable space to save on cash or spending more cash to save on playable space. However in practice though some people have come on board with spending their playable space as a resource for more power; actual interest is much more divided between maximizing cost efficiency of these merges or simply using different towers. Given that spam of lower tier handlers already comes with the advantage of allowing them to be repositioned over a larger area, we’re changing our approach with a full cost rebalance across most T1-3 upgrades for exactly equal cost per point of merged beast power, instead leaving the nuance around understanding higher value merges & footprint advantage to depend more on discounts.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,600 → $2,170
    • 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 Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,170 → $2,065
    • 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
Velociraptor path is too much of an all-round powerhouse so with the larger range returning it is also reducing in damage
— Update notes
  • 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
  • Nerf Bite attack: Damage reduced ― 9 → 8
  • Nerf Bite attack: Maximum damage increase by Beast Power reduced ― 18 → 16
    • Note: Max Power x3x damage reduced from 27 to 24
  • Nerf Bite attack: Maximum bonus damage increase against stunned Bloons by Beast Power reduced ― +6 → +5.3333
    • Note: X-4-X Tyrannosaurus Rex unchanged.
The Middle Path beast handler is too effective at grouped popping for how much damage it can dish out and is having its pierce reduced.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 14 → 12
  • Nerf Pierce scaling with Beast Power reduced ― +21 → +18
    • Note: With both changes combined the pierce at maximum Beast Power is reduced from 35 to 30. 0-4-0 Tyrannosaurus Rex unchanged (22 and +33, respectively)
Middle Path handler has been a powerful carry that scales too well, we’ve decided to shift a portion of its damage into ceramic bonus to hit down its lategame MOAB dps while leaving its power against super ceramics.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Velociraptor: Base damage decreased ― 8 → 4
  • Nerf Velociraptor: Bonus damage from Beast Power decreased ― +16 → +8
    • Note: Max Velociraptor damage decreased from 24 to 12. Bonus stunned damage from max power reduced from +8 to +5.
  • Nerf Velociraptor: Bonus pierce from Beast Power decreased ― +18 → +14
    • Note: Max Velociraptor pierce decreased from 30 to 26
  • Buff Velociraptor: Now does +4 Ceramic damage regardless of Beast Power
  • Buff Velociraptor: Bonus damage from Beast Power increased ― +8 → +12
    • Note: Max Velociraptor damage increased from 12 to 16. Bonus stunned damage from max power increased from +5 to +7.
2-3-0
  • Buff Barracuda: Range increased to match other crosspaths ― 30 → 35 (bug fix)
