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.

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.

Velociraptor: Attack cooldown scale ― 0.3951 → 0.3105 - Note: Max-power attack cooldown increased from 0.5049s to 0.5895s
- Velociraptor: Base damage ― 12 → 9
- 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.

- Beast: Reposition cooldown increased ― 0.5s → 5s
- Attack cooldown increased ― 0.9s → 1s (attack speed reduced by 10%)
Attack delay reduction from merge increased ― 0.3105s → 0.3439s - Note: Max-power attack cooldown increased from 0.5895s to 0.6561s
- 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.

- Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,600 → $2,170
- 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.

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.
