Captain Churchill (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Captain Churchill operates a tank that slowly fires shells that explode multiple times and deal high damage. Starting from Level 5, he gains a machine gun that rapidly damages Bloons, similar to a close-range [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]. His Level 3 ability is Armor Piercing Shells ability, which allows his shells to damage any Bloon type and explode more times. His Level 10 ability is MOAB Barrage, launching missiles at the 10 strongest MOAB-class Bloons on screen until targets are popped, or shot up to 10 times.

Captain Churchill's Main Gun fires a shell every 1.5 seconds that pierces through Bloons and generate an explosion on each collision. The shells cannot generate explosions for {{hover|0.05 seconds|3 frames}} after each collision (to ensure there is some spacing between each explosion). Each shell technically has infinite [[pierce]], but can only generate up to three explosions by default, and they expire after generating the maximum number of explosions. The shells themselves deal no damage, but the explosions deal 3 [[Damage type|explosion-type]] damage and have 12 [[pierce]] with an 18-unit blast radius.

|Gains [[Camo detection]]. Both the shells and the explosions can hit Camo Bloons.

|Explosions now deal +4 damage to Lead Bloons, Fortified Bloons, and Camo Bloons, which stacks for Bloons that have multiple of these properties (i.e., Camo Fortified Lead Bloons take +12 damage in total).

At level 5, Churchill unlocks a machine gun attack that shoots at Bloons within his range. It always targets [[first]], regardless of Churchill's target priority. Its shots collide with the target instantly without any travel time, and it can only hit one Bloon at a time, even with pierce buffs. It deals 2 sharp-type damage every 0.1 seconds.

|Now deals +2 damage to Lead Bloons, Fortified Bloons, and Camo Bloons, which stacks for Bloons that have multiple of these properties (i.e., Camo Fortified Lead Bloons take +6 damage in total).

'''Armor Piercing Shells''' unlocks at level 3. It temporarily allows Churchill's shells to explode 2 more times, increases the damage they deal to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s by +9, and changes the [[damage type]] of both his shells and Machine Gun to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}. It lasts for 9 seconds at level 3 and increases by 0.5 seconds each time Churchill levels up after unlocking it (up to 17.5 seconds at level 20). It has a 30-second cooldown.

|Damage to Ceramic Bloons and MOAB-Class Bloons increases to +21. Now also buffs base damage by +3.

|Damage to Ceramic Bloons and MOAB-Class Bloons increases to +33. Base damage increases to +6.

'''MOAB Barrage''' unlocks at level 10. It targets up to 10 [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s on the map from anywhere, prioritizing the strongest ones, then drops a shell on each target every 0.5 seconds for 8 seconds. If a target's outer layer pops, all shells targeting it disappear. Each shell deals 200 {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}-type damage and can only hit its target, not any surrounding Bloons. The player can only activate it if there are any targetable Bloons on-screen. It has a 60-second cooldown.
