'''Megalodon''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles a megalodon instead of an orca. In order to upgrade to Megalodon, the Orca must have 3 additional merged Orcas. Its Beast Power is increased by +20, changing its Beast Power scale from 16–64 to 36–132, with the default being 84 with the three extra tier 4s. | '''Megalodon''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

The Megalodon's thrash splash has more damage, radius, and knockback | The Megalodon's thrash splash has more damage (30 → 600) and pierce (20 → 50), radius (24 → 48), and improves knockback against [[MOAB-class Bloons]], moving them backwards at 50% speed. Additionally, Megalodon now drags [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] much faster, for <math>\frac{\text{RemainingHP}}{5000}</math> seconds. Megalodon can drag [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]], but the maximum dragging time is 30 seconds for BADs instead of 6 seconds. | ||

Megalodon has long been considered one of the worst upgrades in the game after its {{BTD6 version|36.1}} nerf, but has seen resurgence with recent buffs. Now, Power 132 Megalodon is extremely powerful, being able to take down a non-Fortified [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]] on Round 200 on [[Logs]] even without insta-kills and buffs, the only non-[[Paragon]] tower other than [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun God]] to do so. It also deals extraordinary damage to [[Boss Bloon]]s, even considering its cost. However, its high cost and downtime, despite being reduced, still prevent it from being a viable tower for [[CHIMPS]]. | Megalodon has long been considered one of the worst upgrades in the game after its {{BTD6 version|36.1}} nerf, but has seen resurgence with recent buffs.
