The Blazing Sun

They say Desperado shoots so fast them revolvers catch alight.

← Twin Sixes

The Blazing Sun is the Desperado's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the damage from 5 to 20 plus 40 Ceramic damage and reduces the cooldown between bursts from 1.2s to 0.3s.

It has a special overheat mechanic where each shot reduces its attack speed by 1%, maxing out at 75 shots (resulting in the same cooldown as the tier 4). However, once it reaches 55 shots each one will trigger a blazing area-of-effect, with 5 pierce and 6 radius, that sets all non-Purple Bloons on fire. The burning damage-over-time does 50 damage every 1.5s for 12.05s, and damages all except Purple Bloons. This resets when it stops attacking.

Coming in at less than $20k, decent damage and high speed but lacking pierce and the lack of buffability, this upgrade serves a similar purpose to the Elite Defender, offering mid-late game single target DPS at an affordable price, though like the Defender, this can fall off late game due to the amount of MOAB-Class Bloons that spawn. As such, it is recommended to use alongside a cleanup hero such as Obyn Greenfoot to catch Ceramics that slip by.
