Introduced Version 18.0

Admiral Brickell is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 18.0. She can be unlocked for Monkey Money 5,000 starting at level 35.

Brickell is the first purely-water based hero in the game (Pat Fusty can be placed on both water and land). She drops sea mines into the water, which will home in on Bloons near them. She also has a revolver that pops one Bloon at a time.

Starting at Level 8, she can passively buff nearby water towers, granting +1 pierce.

In Rogue Legends, the starting party of Admiral Brickell includes a 1-0-1 Monkey Sub, 0-2-1 Monkey Buccaneer, and the Portability Common.

  • Nerf Mega Mine: Now expires after 180 seconds
While Brickell setups have a very specific select group of interactions, it is clear her abilities in this interaction are over performing so we want to try take a slow approach toning these back while we continue to review all Heroes each update.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
3–13
  • Nerf Naval Tactics: duration reduced ― 10s → 9s
10–19
  • Nerf Mega Mine: damage reduced ― 5,000 → 4,000
    • Note: damage at level 20 remains at 15,000
14+
  • Nerf Naval Tactics: duration reduced ― 15s → 12s
20
  • Buff Resolved an issue where reloading a save with level 20 Brickell reduced Mega Mine to level 10 (bug fix)
Levels Changes
5+
  • Nerf Naval Tactics: No longer converts the damage of boosted water towers to Normal (bug)
Due to much user concern with Brickell’s Sea Mines seriously overkilling weak targets and wasting themselves in this way, they now have a short delay between activations.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
All
  • Neutral Sea mine: Can now only set off one mine every 0.4 seconds
Levels Changes
3+
  • Buff Naval Tactics now pauses between rounds
To help Brickell excel a little better at her thematic niche of water support, we have added a small permanent buff to all water in her radius to allow her to give them a bit of extra juice even during ability downtime. Additional minor buffs to her main slow-hard hitting revolver attack as she levels up.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
8+
  • Buff Now grants a permanent +1 pierce to all water towers in range
15–16
  • Buff Pistol: Damage increased ― 7 → 9
17+
  • Buff Pistol: Damage increased ― 7 → 11
The Sea Mines delay that was added back in 29 has done well for reducing some of Brickells weaknesses, but as we expected somewhat does add in new weaknesses to rush rounds of Bloons that can now sneak past before all of her mines have been able to acquire a target. To help lessen this new issue she has gained a brand new ability that will allow more Sea Mines to rapidly deploy and find a target over a short duration.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
7+
  • Buff Lv7 Blast Chain utility ability added for Admiral Brickell. For 10 seconds all sea mines have their delay halved & their projectile speed doubled
10+
  • Buff Resolved an issue with Admiral Brickell's Mega Mine sometimes not showing stun effects (bug fix)
We had people request a specific funny use case of Brickell on Ravine, which we respect and approve, and overall we wanted to scale her main revolver attack better into late game, so she is seeing slight and slightly experimental improvements.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
10+
  • Buff Mega Mine: Explosion is no longer has its vision blocked by map line of sight
12–14
  • Buff Pistol: Damage increased ― 7 → 8
12
  • Change No longer clips into ship badly at Lv12 (bug fix)
15–16
  • Buff Pistol: Damage increased ― 9 → 12
17+
  • Buff Pistol: Damage increased ― 11 → 18
Brickell has shown exceptional high level performance, while not fitting in as any intended strong early solo carry. Her base cost has been increased so she won’t come into early play, and Lv20 Mega Mine is having its damage taken down to not quite decimate late game somuch. In return she will have much more pierce, and as it is mainly a niche utility we also want Blast Chain to be available more often.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
All
  • Nerf Placement cost increased ― $750 → $900
7+
  • Buff Blast Chain: cooldown reduced ― 60s → 45s
20
  • Nerf Mega Mine: damage reduced ― 15,000 → 11,000
  • Buff Mega Mine: pierce increased ― 100 → 150
We aren’t happy with strats that start looking like exploits with frequent sell-replace loops.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
All
  • Nerf Sea mine: Now expires if Brickell is sold
10+
  • Nerf Mega Mine: Now expires if Brickell is sold
We still want a little more out of Brickell’s single target Revolver attack as it’s the least exciting per of her arsenal so are decreasing the attack cooldown, however her mega mine ability also performs exceptionally well throughout all moab rounds so we want to slightly increase its final cooldown instead
— Update notes
Levels Changes
2–11
  • Buff  Revolver: cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.65s
12+
  • Buff  Revolver: cooldown reduced ― 0.4s → 0.35s
18–20
  • Nerf  Mega Mine: cooldown increased ― 40s → 45s
Sorry Brickell, at least there's a bunch of Buccaneer & Sub changes and 2 paragon friends to work with!
— Update notes
Levels Changes
6–11
  • Buff Revolver: damage increased ― 5 → 6
7+
  • Buff Blast Chain: can no longer be drained by Lych (bug fix)

15–16
  • Buff Revolver: damage increased ― 12 → 18

  • Buff Revolver: damage increased ― 18 → 40
We’ll probably regret this, but the nerf made people very sad, and that is not a life goal 😢

As one of the best heroes, Brickell is seeing a slight reduction to her Navel [sic] Tactics buff.

  • Nerf Naval Tactics: No longer affect amphibious towers (Mermonkeys, Ice Monkeys, Temples, Pat Fusty, Silas) (bug fix)
    • Note: Removing amphibious interaction does not affect Level 8+ passive pierce buff to water towers
Brickell’s Mega Mine has had a MOAB Pierce penalty added to reduce dominant MOAB destruction without also filling up on Ceramics. Additionally she's received small Bloon cleanup buffs with her high powered revolver attack now piercing Bloons in the area, and Blast Chain reducing Sea Mine targeting delay even further.
