Introduced Version 2.0

Captain Churchill is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 2.0. He can be purchased for Monkey Money 2,500 starting at level 15.

Captain Churchill operates a tank, slowly firing shells that explode multiple times and deal high damage. Starting from Level 5, he gains a machine gun that rapidly damages bloons, like a close-range 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.

Mechanics

Explosive Shell

Half Cash icon This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it.
The editor who added this notice elaborates: Elaborate on multi-explosion mechanic, and level improvements

Captain Churchill's shells produce explosions as they hit bloons, at a short cooldown between new explosions. Shells cannot be affected by external pierce buffs, and can only produce more explosions with extra levels or his Armor Piercing Shells ability.

At base, his explosions deal 3 damage and hit up to 12 bloons within a blast radius of 18. Shells themselves deal no damage.

As he levels up, his explosive shell improves:

  • Level 2: Explosion pierce increased to 15.
  • ...

Machine Gun

Half Cash icon This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it.
The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add more stats of machine gun, and more tidbits of the machine gun like how the "snipe" attack works

At Level 5, he unlocks his machine gun, automatically shooting at bloons within his range. It is a sharp attack shot every 0.1s and initially deals 1 damage. It is always locked on First targeting.

As he levels up, his machine gun improves:

  • Level 7: Damage increased to 2
  • ...

"Fixed projectile ejection point location"

Churchill is a chunky, expensive & slow levelling powerful hero, when he was launched he fit well in this spot but his synergies have not aged well. We have started with a small XP adjustment and greatly improved the power of his MOAB Barrage

As the upper end of heroes have crept up and up for awhile now, we want to reign in some of these top heroes slowly. Church’s pierce at all levels is going down to make his absolute coverage of ceramic children harder

  • Nerf Pierce per explosion reduced by 3
    • Level 1: 15 → 12
    • Level 2-10: 18 → 15
    • Level 11+: 23 → 20
Churchill has propped another pillow ontop of their booster seat and is ready to do some serious damage. We felt the speed of the main cannon attack didn’t fit well for ‘a literal tank’, so main cannon damage is going up at all levels at the cost of attack speed. However even though the dps mostly averages out to something similar, this does make him more effective at utilizing his pierce and with the slower main attack the machine gun more properly performs its job of catching the faster Bloons in that downtime, so its damage is being buffed at all levels to be more helpful at this.[sic]

Lower attack rate hurt Churchill's early game too much so these lower tier rates have been improved. His range upgrade increases were too small considering the large base range, so these have also been improved. While useful when it comes online, Churchill's Machine Gun never scaled the best so needs further improvements to scale up with higher levels. & finally since it's very hard to get to Lv20 at all, we’ve given a nice bump to base damage here as well.

  • Churchill Level 17 description changed ― Armor Piercing Shells do even more damage. → Armor Piercing Shells do even more damage. MOAB Barrage damage increased.
Given how hard it is to get to high levels with Churchill, the Barrage ability needs much more high level payoff.

Churchill has some trouble dealing with fast DDTs in late game, so his Lv15 Fortified bonus will now also apply to Lead Bloons.

  • Buff Main Gun: Additionally gains +3 damage to Leads
    • Note: Requires black-popping to apply this effect versus DDTs
  • Buff Machine gun: Additionally gains +2 damage to Leads
    • Note: Requires lead-popping to apply this effect
Captain Churchill has a significant DDT weakness, particularly of the fortified variety, so to provide light assistance against these his Lv15 damage bonuses may now stack together when multiple properties are met, and it will also grant a bonus to Camo Bloons. Overall this adds up to a +12 damage bonus when damaging a Fortified DDT.

Churchill is receiving a firepower boost for higher tiers, specifically with his MOAB Barrage ability scaling up more. Since Level 17 is tough to reach outside of freeplay, we’ve swapped it with Level 16 to ensure this upgraded MOAB Barrage can be relied on for tankier late-game threats.
