Druid of the Storm is the Druid's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants Druid an additional tornado attack which blows Bloons 100-200 units backwards. This attack deals 0 damage, has 24 pierce (Tornadoes consume 2 pierce on Ceramic Bloons instead of 1), and has a cooldown of 2.5 seconds. Tornadoes are able to seek targets, and cannot blow back White or Purple if they cannot damage them, nor MOAB-Class Bloons, although the tornadoes will simply ignore them. Tornadoes remove Glued and Frozen properties on Bloons it blows back.

With Tiny Tornadoes Tiny Tornadoes, each tornado splits into three smaller tornadoes when they expire. Each mini tornado blows Bloon 33-300 units backwards and has 5 pierce.

Note that both the tornado attack and the mini tornadoes can get damage buffs such as Berserker Brew.

Druid’s top path Storm & Ball Lightning upgrades needed a value boost versus other options versus other paths of other tower choices, so these have been given a small price buff for now.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,000 → $1,850
  • Nerf Tornado: blowback should correctly remove ongoing glue damage effects from Bloons when the slow is removed (bug fix)
As an underused crosspath on this tower, Druid’s Hard Thorns will now allow them to counter all of its weaknesses instead of just frozen targets. Druid of the Storm has been reworked to more consistently blow targets back due to being stationary and slower firing compared to other upgrades that do a similar task.
— Update notes
  • Buff Main attack: Damage type changed ― Shatter → Normal
  • Neutral Tornado attack: Blowback distance changed ― 33–300 → 100–200
  • Buff Tornado attack: Projectile radius increased ― 13 → 16
Top path has had a number of buffs to help with both price and consistency in control over regular bloons through higher tiers.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,850 → $1,650
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $225 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Top path Heart of Thunder doesn’t scale well with tiers for an upgrade with such niche use & generally feels lacking, so it is seeing general power improvements across the board to upgrades that incorporate this attack.
— Update notes
  • Buff Heart of Thunder damage increased ― 1 → 2
While the tornado doesn't do anything to MOABs, it still spends itself on them which wastes a relatively long cooldown, so addressing this flaw.
— Update notes
  • Buff Tornado: no longer targets MOAB-class Bloons
    • Note: This is a buff as the tornado does not affect MOAB-class Bloons
Druid of the Storm is too inconsistent due to placement causing projectiles to intersect the path and spend very little time actually touching Bloons, it is gaining some homing to keep the nados running along the track over the top of Bloons to more consistently utilize their high pierce value. We love how this is working and hope you do, too.
— Update notes
  • Buff Tornado: Now seeks Bloons
  • Buff Tornado: Maximum travel distance increased ― 80 → 100
  • Nerf Blowback no longer works on Bloons near the entrance (bug fix)
Hard Thorns is useful and often taken for crosspath even if not going for 2xx as lightning is comparatively very expensive for what it offers so moving Thunder’s cost out into both the surrounding upgrades.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $1,650 → $1,700
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Druid of the Storm’s base pierce is being reduced to put it more in line with other group Bloon stalling supports
— Update notes
  • Nerf Tornado pierce reduced ― 30 → 24
    • Note: Does not carry over to higher tiers
Now that Tornadoes are one of the more popular Bloon Stall choices we looked more into its upgrade progression, tornado projectile speed is being reduced as a benefit to Ball Lightning to prevent tornado outpacing the lightning ball so quickly, and to more suit it as a Cold/Magic themed upgrade plus differentiate from similar supports the weaknesses are changing.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Tornado: projectile speed reduced ― 90 → 72
  • Neutral Tornado: damage type changed ― Normal → Frigid
  • Buff Tornado: can blow back Lead Bloons
  • Nerf Tornado: cannot blow back White and Purple Bloons
    • Note: Projectile will ignore White and Purple properties, which it cannot target anymore
As it’s really good, and it’ll still be really good.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Tornado: Ceramics now consume +1 pierce
    • Note: Does not apply to higher tiers
Druid projectile lifespans are being shifted from many base weapons into the xx1 range crosspath, this is a nerf to top path lifespan when not taking the crosspath and a buff to 031 druids
— Update notes
  • Nerf Thorn: Projectile distance reduced ― 136 → 102
    • Note: Does not affect X-X-1, implemented as a projectile lifespan decrease ― 0.4s → 0.3s
  • Nerf Tornado: Projectile distance reduced ― 100 → 75
    • Note: xx1 unchanged
Storm Druid’s pierce is being increased past a key breakpoint that allows the tornado to sweep up every Ceramic from a BFB.
— Update notes
  • Buff Tornado: Pierce increased ― 24 → 35
  • Neutral Main attack: Projectile spread can now be affected by accuracy buffs
