The Blazing Sun is the Desperado's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the damage of its pistol shots from 5 to 20, gives them 40 extra damage to Ceramics, and reduces the cooldown between bursts from 1.2 seconds to 0.3 seconds. It also gains a special overheat mechanic where its attack speed decreases by 1% each time it fires a bullet, maxing out at 75 shots, at which point its attack speed equals that of Twin Sixes. However, once it has fired 55 shots, each shot additionally generates an area of effect, with 5 pierce and 6 radius, that sets all non-Purple Bloons on fire. The area of effect deals no damage, but the fire damage over time deals 50 damage every 1.5 seconds for 12.05 seconds. Its attack speed resets if it is unable to attack for 0.88 seconds.[fn 1]

The editor who added this notice elaborates: Needs a complete rewrite

Costing less than $20,000 outside of Impoppable, with decent damage and high attack speed but poor pierce and buffability, this upgrade serves a similar purpose to Elite Defender, offering cheap single-target damage in the mid-late game. Like Elite Defender, however, its utility falls off significantly after midgame, even harder than Elite Defender, due to the high density of MOAB-Class and Super Ceramic Bloons that spawn in the lategame and its poor synergy with common buffing towers. As of version 49.1, its damage potential is also hurt by a bug that prevents the delay between bursts from being reducible by buffs.
