→Strategy: let's not gas up an upgrade based on isab's opinion |
Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) the shotgun is the gun, the pellets are the projectiles; the pellets individually do damage, not the shotgun itself; if the shotgun itself is a weapon you'd bludgeon it on a target or use a addon sword or whatever. Also... "staller" as in controlling blimps; btw, eor stalling is different I think? |

It increases the damage of its pistol attack from 12 to 20, damage to Ceramics from +12 to +20, and its reload has half [[attack cooldown]]. Its shotgun pellets now deal 10 damage instead of 3, deals +10 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, and knocks back MOAB-Class Bloons at -100% speed and others at -200% speed. The shrapnel projectiles now have 10 pierce, deal 3 damage, and inflict a [[damage over time]] effect that deals 10 [[damage type|fire-type]] damage every 1.5 seconds for 9.05 seconds. Additionally, if a Bloon hit by the shrapnel is popped within 4.55 seconds, it generates an explosion that deals 5 fire-type damage, +5 damage to Ceramic Bloons, to up to 3 Bloons within a small radius around it (which cannot have its pierce buffed). | ||

The Desert Phantom is an effective blimp staller that benefits a lot from [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]] | The Desert Phantom is an effective blimp staller that benefits a lot from damage and pierce buffs, particularly [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]], giving it a significant DPS boost and lead-popping. It should be placed so it can fire along a straight line from up close to the Bloons to maximize its shrapnel pierce. [[Avenger]] is a stepping stone for this upgrade in the mid-game with a reasonable amount of saveup required. | ||
