Orca is the Beast Handler's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. The tower now handles an Orca instead of a Great White Shark.
Orca's thrash has more blast radius, more damage, and knockbacks back power, including MOAB-Class Bloons. Additionally, Orca now drags all type of Bloons for only 1 second and can drag MOABs and BFBs for seconds, with a minimum of 1 second and maximum of 6 seconds.
At max beast power, Orca can drag ZOMGs and DDTs if visible.

Strategy
At Power 64, Orca is one of the strongest towers for its cost, dragging ZOMGs & DDTs and practically wiping out everything else surrounding it with its thrash. The Power 16 Orca can be used to one-shot BFBs in the mid-game, but is not as powerful for its cost.
Power 64 Orca pairs extremely well with Overclock, which has permanent uptime thanks to Orca being a Tier 4 tower. Set it on Strong for maximum thrash time, switch to First when a long line of Bloons/blimps is in front of it, and reposition it if many Bloons/blimps exit its range. The best way to obtain a Power 64 Orca is to get a Power 16 Orca and two Power 24 Great Whites (which are more efficient merges than additional Orcas) for the mid-game for a smooth save-up, and then merge them into Orca on Round 80. Orca's downtime makes it tend to leak stray Bloons, which can be solved with cleanup towers such as Perma-Spike.

Resolved an issue where thrash rate was occurring too frequently if the beast was unable to consume the target ― 0s → 0.3s (bug fix)
“
As our newest tower to be added to BTD6, we went over feedback for every path and made a large number of adjustments addressing a variety of points.

”
Orca thrash damage increased ― 20 → 30- Orca thrash max extra damage from merge increased ― 40 → 60
- Orca max attack rate buff from merge increased ― 0.37829 → 0.38
- Orca thrash radius increased ― 20 → 24
- Thrash rate benefits from speed buffs
- Top and Middle path Beast Handler paths can now be targeted by Overclock and Ultraboost
“
Compared to other T4 Beast Handlers and given the high cost of merging multiple beasts we agreed that the Orca & Megalodon’s total prices were too much more expensive for their somewhat random nature.

- Upgrade cost reduced ― $16,000 → $12,500
“
Beast Handler’s general repositioning feels far too free right now, the reposition cooldown is being increased to a more reasonably noticeable number so this feels like a meaningful cost. [...] Orca we feel has both min & max power use cases, though doesn’t grow enough ‘along the way’ from un-maxed merging.

- Orca: max bonus pierce from merge increased ― 24 → 40
- Note: Max-power pierce increased from 44 to 60
- Beast: Reposition cooldown increased ― 0.5s → 5s
“
We feel Beast Handler balance is setting down nicely overall but it feels like the reposition cooldown increasing was far more impactful and unfun than intended, we still feel the initial delay was silly but are cutting it down again a little. Orca's knockback has the same duration as the T3 so although it does gain a little increased knockback amount already it's very random in what it hits much more expensive than the T3 so this knockback duration is being increased a little for base & merge.

- Beast Handler reposition cooldown reduced ― 5s → 3s
- Knockback duration increased ― 0.2s → 0.3s
- Knockback merge bonus increased ― 0.2s → 0.3s
- Overall cost reduced by $890 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Overall cost reduced by $115 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Beast: Reposition cooldown reduced ― 3s → 2s
- Water beasts: Now spawns within 20% of their range to the track
“
Base handler's beast range felt too high starting off when considering the tower is built around sharing range between multiple Handlers so this range is being reduced.
Top Handler is designed around huge inconsistent power, however Megalodon feels that it should be more reliable for the investment required so we are improving both thrash radius and reducing the cooldown. Fish RBE limit before being able to devour the target instantly is being increased to last further into freeplay.

- Drag-down RBE cap increased ― 250,000 → 500,000

As a quality of life improvement, Beast Handler movement cooldowns have now been separated

- Fish & Dino beast reposition cooldowns are now independent
- Grab: Max RBE cap increased ― 500,000 → 1,000,000
“
Shark latch-on lifespan for targets that are not 1shot is being reduced so it has to let go and re-target more frequently as an overall range reduction [...]
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Latch: Time that the beast keeps latched to targets that it can't drag down reduced ― 5s → 3s
- Note: This decreases overall single-target damage and reduces concentration of damage around the target
- Can now move beasts onto ice and ink platforms. Beasts with only ice/ink platforms as valid placement will no longer randomly choose a location when attempting to place into ice/ink platforms. (undocumented)
- Merging/Beast positioning range increased ― 50 → 60
- Solved a bug where Beast Handlers which were crosspathed on a specific order could fail to respawn their fish when reloading a game from a save and and use a Support Chinook to redeploy the Beast Handler. (bug fix)
Thrash calculation is now calculated correctly (bug fix)
- Thrash calculation: divisor for "base attack cooldown" changed from the attack cooldown of the Piranha to Great White ― 0.6 → 1.1
- Thrash calculation: dividend for "base thrash cooldown" increased while latching ― 0.3 → 0.6 (undocumented)
- Note: Does not affect dragging
- Thrash cooldowns across all beast power increased while latching
- Min power: 0.55s → 0.6s
- Middle power: 0.455s → 0.49636363636s
- Max power: 0.36s → 0.39272727272s
- Thrash cooldowns across all beast power changed while dragging
- Min power: 0.55s → 0.3s
- Middle power: 0.455s → 0.248181818s
- Max power: 0.36s → 0.196363636s
- Thrash attack: Thrash interval increased while dragging into water ― 0.3s → 0.6s (bug fix)
