 They say Desperado shoots so fast them revolvers catch alight.

The Blazing Sun is the Desperado's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the damage of its pistol shots from 5 to 20, gives them 40 extra damage to Ceramics, and reduces the attack cooldown between bursts from 1.2 seconds to 0.3 seconds. However, its attack speed decreases by 1% each time it fires a bullet. Once The Blazing Sun has fired 55 shots, each shot also generates a small area of effect with 5 pierce (6 with 
Extra Dart Pops) that sets all non-Purple Bloons on fire. The area of effect deals no damage by itself, but the damage over time deals 50 damage every 1.5 seconds for 12.05 seconds.
After The Blazing Sun has fired 75 shots (at which point its attack speed equals that of Twin Sixes), its shot counter resets, temporarily removing both the attack speed penalty and fire effect. It also resets if The Blazing Sun is unable to attack for 0.88 seconds.[fn 1]

Strategy
Costing less than $20,000 outside of Impoppable, with decent damage and high attack speed but without pierce and poor feedback to buffs from common support towers like Berserker Brew, this upgrade serves a similar purpose to a 2-0-5 Elite Defender, offering cheap single-target damage in the midgame and lategame, in order to saveup to a more expensive tier 5. Like Elite Defender, its utility falls off significantly after round 80 due to the inability to deal with hordes of Super Ceramic children that spawn. As a result, cleanup towers and heroes are recommended alongside it, such as Psi for the ability to remove lots of RBE by taking out weaker MOAB-Class Bloons, or Spiked Mines for its immense Ceramic Bloon stopping power. Also on later rounds, the high density of MOAB-Class Bloons make its power in the late game much weaker due to only being able to hit a single MOAB at a time, but for rounds with high health single targets such as 97 or 100, it can still provide good supporting fire.
Its best crosspath is 5-2-0, as the critical shot chances are much more common when one is already encouraged to place as far away from the track as possible, as well as Nomad's speed buff not being enough to counteract the speed penalty of Standoff for this upgrade.
