Corvus is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 40.0. He can be unlocked for 
7,000 starting at level 35. He has several unique mechanics and abilities:
- Corvus is assisted by a Spirit sub-tower that flies around the map seeking Bloons out and ramming into them to deal damage. It cannot damage Lead Bloons or Purple Bloons and cannot detect Camo Bloons.
- Corvus inflicts the strongest Bloon within his range with a Haunt effect every 3 seconds. It does no damage by itself, but it strips Regrow and Purple properties and causes the target to take extra damage from things that deal energy, plasma, or fire damage, including his Spirit. Haunted Bloons explode when destroyed, damaging other Bloons nearby and generating Mana. He cannot Haunt Camo Bloons or MOAB-Class Bloons by default.
- Corvus provides access to the Spellbook, an interface that allows the player to spend Mana to cast spells with a variety of effects. Corvus unlocks more spells and enhances his previous spells as he levels up.
- His Soul Harvest ability deals significant damage to all Bloons near him and generates Mana based on the amount of damage dealt.
- His Spirit Walk ability allows him to teleport to anywhere on the map that he can be placed on.
- His Dark Ritual ability creates an aura that damages nearby Bloons and generates Mana off of the damage dealt for a short time. Starting at level 12, it also siphons from nearby Necromancer and Prince of Darkness Graveyards and converts it into Mana.

Haunt
Haunt is an effect that Corvus inflicts on the strongest Bloon within his range every 3 seconds (affected by attack speed buffs). Haunted Bloons have the following properties:
- If it is a Regrow Bloon, it loses its Regrow property.
- If it is a Purple Bloon, it loses its immunities.
- It takes +1 damage from projectiles and damage over time sources that deal energy, plasma, or fire damage (including his own Spirit and Dark Ritual ability), increasing to +2 at level 17.
- When it and all of its children are popped, it generates an explosion that damages other Bloons nearby. It has a blast radius of 24 distance units and deals 2 energy-type damage to up to 4 Bloons, increasing to 4 damage to up to 8 Bloons at level 6, 10 damage to up to 16 Bloons at level 12, and 30 damage to up to 16 Bloons at level 17. The explosion benefits from
More 'Splody. Corvus restores 3 Mana per layer the Haunted Bloon had when it was first afflicted (affected by Spiritual Balance).
Corvus cannot Haunt Camo Bloons without being granted Camo detection and he cannot Haunt MOAB-Class Bloons until level 19. He cannot Haunt Golden Bloons or Boss Bloons at all.
Spellbook
The Spellbook is an interface that allows the player to store Corvus's Mana and spend it to cast spells. It starts with the Spear, Repel, and Nourishment spells by default and can store up to 800 Mana. Corvus gains more spells as he levels up, having access to 16 spells in total starting at level 13. There are two types of spells:
- Spells on the top row consume a certain amount of Mana each second, in addition to costing Mana to cast in the first place. They remain active as long as Corvus keeps feeding them Mana and have no cooldown, and the player can "dismiss" them at any time.
- Other spells do not drain Mana over time, but have a limited duration and a cooldown period. Unlike Activated Abilities, the cooldown does not start until the duration ends. They are not affected by ability cooldown modifiers like Energizer.
On desktop, the Spellbook can be toggled with the Monkey Special hotkey (PageDown by default) and each spell slot can be assigned to a custom hotkey under Advanced Hotkeys.

Spiritual Balance
Spiritual Balance is unlocked at level 8. It multiplies the amount of Mana Corvus generates from all sources depending on how much Mana he currently has. At 200 Mana or lower, he generates twice as much Mana, and at 520 Mana or more, he does not generate extra Mana. The modifier scales linearly with how much Mana he has, so, for example, having 360 Mana means he generates 50% more Mana. This also affects Soul Harvest and Dark Ritual.
Spiritual Attunement
Spiritual Attunement is unlocked at level 11. It increases the damage and movement speed of the Spirit depending on how much Mana Corvus has in his Mana Pool, capping at 20% faster movement and 150% more damage with a full Mana Pool. The modifier scales linearly with how much Mana he has, so, for example, having 400/800 Mana means the Sprit moves 10% faster and deals 75% more damage.
Abilities
Soul Harvest
Soul Harvest is unlocked at level 3. It releases a blast that damages up to 20 Bloons within his range and restores 100 Mana plus 1 per point of damage it deals. It deals 20 damage at level 3, increasing to 35 base damage and +45 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons at level 11. It starts with a 40-second cooldown and lowers by 0.5 seconds per level after level 3, to a minimum of 31.5 seconds at level 20. It can only be used 8 times per round and is disabled if the round lasts for more than 3 minutes.
Spirit Walk
Spirit Walk is unlocked at level 7. It allows Corvus to instantly teleport to any location on the map of the player's choosing that he can be placed on, functioning identically to Dark Champion's and Legend of the Night's version of Darkshift. It has a 20-second cooldown.
Dark Ritual
Dark Ritual is unlocked at level 10. It creates an aura around Corvus that deals 1 plasma-type damage to up to 100 Bloons within it every 0.2 seconds for 12 seconds, which is affected by the energy/plasma damage bonuses from Haunt. He restores 1 Mana per point of damage dealt by the aura, except damage dealt to regenerated Regrow Bloon layers. Dark Ritual cannot target Purple Bloons unless he is able to damage them. It has a 90-second cooldown. Can be affected by external buffs, such as Berserker Brew (BTD6).
Starting at level 12, activating the ability also removes 10% of the points from the Graveyards of Wizard Monkeys with the Necromancer: Unpopped Army, Prince of Darkness, or Magus Perfectus upgrades within his range, and converts those points into Mana. Multiple Graveyards will not stack. Necromancer Graveyards take precedent over Prince of Darkness, regardless of proximity to Corvus.

Strategy
- Corvus gets more Mana from Haunting stronger Bloons, so he should be placed in areas where the Bloons will reach him before your main sources of DPS. For example, if all your attacking towers are concentrated in the center of Monkey Meadow, then he should be placed closer to the entrance.
- In the early game, use Spear for Bloon rushes, Vision for Camo Bloons, and Ancestral Might against the round 40 MOAB.
- In the mid game, use Ember and/or Trample for dense Bloons and Repel / Frostbound to stall MOAB-Class Bloons.
- Use Recovery and Nourishment on easy rounds when other spells aren't needed.
