“

I've never met a bloon I couldn't pop.
— Star Captain Jericho

”

Star Captain Jericho is a Hero Alt of Agent Jericho in Bloons TD Battles 2, introduced in version 2.2.

Star Captain Jericho uses a blaster to attack Bloons within his range, dealing 1 damage per shot and applying Laser Shock, and attacks much faster than the other Jerichos. He cannot pop Purple Bloons and cannot detect Camo Bloons. As he levels up, his range, damage, and attack speed increase, he gains Camo detection and purple-popping, and he unlocks multiple passive and active methods of disrupting the opponent.

• Starting at level 2, he periodically adds an extra layer to natural Bloons on the opponent's side. At higher levels, he can add Bloon Mods and enhance sent Bloons as well.
• Starting at level 4, he enhances sent Bloons that have Bloon Mods.
  • Level 4: Regrows regenerate faster.
  • Level 7: Camo Bloons move faster, provided their Camo properties remain intact.
  • Level 9: Fortified Bloons (except Fortified BADs) gain extra health. Level 20 is required to affect BADs.
• He has two Activated Abilities:
  • In It For the Money (level 3) — For a short duration, he sets a "booby trap" status to a number of incoming sent bloons, which add debt if their layers are popped. This status effect is permanent on the affected bloon, and its value on higher-tier bloons increases as he levels up, plus a single MOAB-class bloon starting at level 8.
  • Smuggler's Run (level 10) — Commands a spaceship to drop a payload of bloons immediately at a distance ahead of the entrance. It always locates on the lane that bloon sends will travel. His payload only accepts non-BADs (until Level 20) and up to the maximum value worth of bloon sends.

He costs  5,000 Monkey Money and 40,000 Agent Jericho Hero Points to unlock.

Mechanics

Blaster

This section is empty. You can help out by adding to it.

Bloon Adjustment

Bloon Adjustment is a passive mechanic that is unlocked at level 2. It causes every fourth natural Bloon that spawns on the opponent's side to gain an extra layer. It cannot add layers to Ceramic Bloons or MOAB-Class Bloons.

Levels

Level	Effect
5	Adjusted Bloons now also gain a random applicable Bloon Mod (Camo, Regrow, or Fortified), including Ceramics and MOAB-Class, though MOAB-Class Bloons can only become Fortified.
8	Now applies to every other Bloon.
13	Adjusted Bloons now gain two random Bloon Mods if applicable. For most Bloons, this guarantees Camo and Regrow, but for Leads and Ceramics, this means any combination of two of the three, and for MOAB-Class, it can still only apply Fortified.
15	Now also affects sent Bloons.

Bloon Mod buffs

Starting at level 4, Jericho is able to buff the Bloon Mods for Bloon sends.

Levels

Level	Effect
4	Reduces the Regrow Bloon regeneration cooldown.
7	Increases the Camo Bloon speed.
9	Increases the Fortified Bloon health, except for BADs.
20	Now applies the reduced Fortified Bloon health modifier to BADs.

Abilities

In It For The Money

In It For The Money is unlocked at level 3. It causes up to 25 Bloons sent to the opponent to give the sender cash and the opponent debt if they are popped.

• The cash gained from this ability is stored and given out in 1-second intervals.
• Initially, it lasts for 6 seconds and gives $7 per Bloon to the sender and $7 in debt to the opponent, and only affects non-MOAB-Class Bloons.
  • Starting at level 7, it gives different amounts of cash and debt for higher-ranked Bloons.
  • Starting at level 8, its duration is increased to 12 seconds and it can affect one MOAB-Class Bloon per use (which counts towards the 25-Bloon limit).
• It has a 70-second cooldown and starts with a 28-second cooldown. Starting at level 18, its cooldown is reduced to 45 seconds.

Levels	Cash/debt per Bloon	Max possible cash/debt
3–5	$7	$175
6–7	$60 (Ceramic) $31 (Rainbow) $14 (Purple/Lead/Zebra) $7 (other)	$1,500
8	$300 (MOAB-Class) $60 (Ceramic) $31 (Rainbow) $14 (Purple/Lead/Zebra) $7 (other)	$1,740
9–10	$600 (MOAB-Class) $60 (Ceramic) $31 (Rainbow) $14 (Purple/Lead/Zebra) $7 (other)	$2,040
11–13	$1,300 (MOAB-Class) $60 (Ceramic) $31 (Rainbow) $14 (Purple/Lead/Zebra) $7 (other)	$2,740
14+	$3,000 (MOAB-Class) $60 (Ceramic) $31 (Rainbow) $14 (Purple/Lead/Zebra) $7 (other)	$4,440

Upon activation, Star Captain Jericho will call out his respective voiceline, which is audible to both players. During the process, the player has 8 seconds to pack up to $5500 worth of bloon sends, before the spaceship travels to the opponent's side. The spaceship always locates on the lane reserved for bloon sends, and all packed bloons are immediately sent.

He also gains improvements as he levels up:
