Tower Heli Pilot — Path 2 — Tier 5
Cost $30,000

Special Poperations is the Heli Pilot's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. This upgrade improves Support Chinook's abilities, and grants a new Monkey Marine ability which drops a marine sub-tower. The cash crate now also drop lives as well.

This upgrade also increases the movement speed of the Heli Pilot by 25%.

Abilities

Monkey Marine

This upgrade adds the Monkey Marine ability, which deploys a marine sub-tower at the Heli Pilot's position. If there are no available placement locations near the Heli Pilot, the marine cannot be deployed. The marine fires darts at Bloons which deal 6 damage, have 20 pierce, and have an attack cooldown of 0.05 seconds (0.04 seconds with Faster Firing crosspath). Marines have a range of 50 units. It can damage all Bloon types and can detect Camo Bloons.

The Marine last for 30 seconds before disappearing. Selling the Special Poperations will not remove the Marine regardless of crosspath. This ability has a cooldown of 25 seconds (meaning a single Special Poperations can keep a Marine on the map at all times and periodically have two Marines at a time without any ability cooldown buffs).

Reposition

Still 40 seconds, just like its predecessor.

Supply Crate

This upgrade increases the value of Support Chinook's cash crate, from $3,500 to $8,000 and gives 15 lives as well. This ability is separate from other abilities and triggers all other Support Chinook abilities.

Costs and sell values

Tiers Cost Sell value
0-5-0 $42,050 $29,435
1-5-0 $42,650 $29,855
2-5-0 $42,900 $30,030
0-5-1 $42,400 $29,680
0-5-2 $42,650 $29,855

Strategy

Template:Verify

This section was last updated for: version 4.13

The Marine is a powerful sustained high-damage attack, in addition to benefiting the support aspect of cash generation and now giving lives. Use the Marine to break down a heavy rush, and be sure to buy Chinooks early to afford enough to buy the Special Poperations soon enough. Stall any incoming single blimp rushes like ZOMGs with MOAB Shove, and use other cheaper options against Tight rushes.

Poperations gives a way to do a GG Round 40, but must be bought soon enough to recover enough lives; its life generation is not at all fast enough to allow tanking of MOABs, requiring Beetienne to accomplish that instead, yet fast enough to recover lost starting lives.

Use the 0-5-2 crosspath to maximize Marine's speed, as 1-5-0 has no benefit to the Marine and 2-5-0 is meaningless for the lack of actual DPS benefit.

Heli Pilot’s large footprint has been a major limitation on the tower’s viability on a lot of maps, so we hope to open up its viability by reducing its size.

Heli is quite under utilized on maps that aren’t Bloon Bot Factory. These changes should make it a more viable tower for other maps.
