Strategy

For more in-depth strategies, see Strategy:C4 Charlie (BATTD).

C4 Charlie is a character that can clear swarms of weaker bloons with ease but struggles somewhat against stronger bloons. When the player first acquires him, his best use is typically for his Signal Flare, which can decamo DDT, letting Supermonkey pop them if he has Plasma Eyes. Another use stems from a likely unintended interaction with his bombs and King of Ooo's Scepter, where his bombs paint bloons gold before dealing damage. While not as strong as other characters, C4 can also be used for MOAB DPS.

If the player has King of Ooo's Scepter, C4 can be used for income because of the aforementioned interaction. The only important trinkets besides the scepter are Banana Replicator for doubling his income, the other trinkets should just be as much attack speed as possible and utility like negative effect immunity, Glasses of Nerdicon or other similar trinkets for camo, Glob's Helmet for ghost popping (Robo-Monkey Visor does not work on C4), and Dagger of Chilled Glass for black-popping alongside attack speed.

Besides eco, C4 can also be used for MOAB DPS, although he is not great for it. His Double Bomb with Engineers Blueprints and Googoomamameter can actually outdamage MOAB Mauler because of Frag Bombs, and even if going for maulers, the frags will contribute enough damage with Engineers BP that it is worth running. For this build, attack speed stacking with Engineers Blueprints is recommended, although a hybrid build utilizing King of Ooo's Scepter and Banana Replicator for early-game eco without other utility trinkets can be done without suffering too much DPS loss in the late game. Later on, running a DPS build with him in late game Martian Games is primarily if the player also wants the Technological Terror that he can equip.

If opting for buying and reselling him constantly for MOAB Assassin, Soul Stone is recommended so that one less upgrade is necessary for purchase before he gets MOAB Assassin, letting the player complete buy and sell cycles faster as purchasing upgrades in BATTD has an animation lock. Thus, skipping one upgrade boosts the DPS of buy and resell strategies, if Soul Stone can skip a preceding upgrade for an ability.

Language Text Notes
Danish Charlie var fraværende på den første dag på militærskolen, så han gik glip af den vigtigste regel hvad angår sprængstoffer. Efter lunten er tændt, TRÆD TILBAGE. Ikke desto mindre, så kan han springe sig ud af enhver situation.
German Charlie hat am ersten Tag seiner militärischen Ausbildung gefehlt und die wichtigste Regel im Umgang mit Sprengstoff nicht mitbekommen. Nach dem Anzünden der Zündschnur ZURÜCKTRETEN. Trotzdem kann er sich jederzeit den Weg aus kniffligen Situationen freisprengen.
Spanish Charlie faltó el primer día a la academia militar y se perdió la regla más importante del manejo de explosivos: después de encender la mecha, aléjate. Aun así, puede detonar todo para salir de cualquier situación difícil.
French Charlie était absent le premier jour à l'école militaire, alors il a manqué la règle la plus importante au sujet de la manipulation des explosifs. Une fois la mèche allumée, S'ÉLOIGNER. Il est toutefois capable de se sortir des situations les plus périlleuses à coup d'explosifs.
Italian Charlie era assente al primo giorno di lezioni dell'accademia militare, quindi non ha ricevuto la lezione più importante sull'utilizzo degli esplosivi: dopo aver acceso la miccia... ALLONTANARSI. Ciononostante, è sempre in grado di "farsi strada" in ogni situazione difficile.
Japanese チャーリーは軍事学校の初日に欠席してしまったので、\n爆発物の扱い方の一番大切なルールを知らないんだ。\nヒューズに火をつけたら、後退しよう。でも、どんな難しい\n状況でも爆破で道を開くことができる。
Korean 찰리는 사관학교 첫날 결석해버려서 폭발물 처리의 가장 중요한 규칙을 모르고 있지요. 바로 도화선에 불을 붙이고 나면 뒤로 물러서야 한다는 것 말입니다. 그래도 어떤 궁지에 몰려도 잘만 출구를 터트려 빠져나옵니다.
Dutch Charlie was afwezig op de eerste dag van zijn militaire opleiding, dus hij heeft de belangrijkste regel voor het omgaan met explosieven gemist. Als je de lont aan hebt gestoken, ga dan OP EEN AFSTANDJE STAAN. Toch kan hij zich met een explosie uit elke moeilijke situatie redden.
Norwegian Charlie var ikke tilstede den første dagen på militærskolen, så han gikk glipp av den viktigste regelen innen håndtering av eksplosiver. Etter at du har tent lunten, LØP! Uansett, han kan sprenge seg ut av alle slags vriene situasjoner.
Portuguese (Brazil) Charlie faltou ao primeiro dia da escola militar, então ele perdeu a lição mais importante sobre os explosivos. Após acender o pavio, AFASTE-SE. Mesmo assim, ele resolve qualquer parada com um estouro.
Russian Чарли пропустил первое занятие в военной школе, поэтому он не в курсе, как правильно обращаться со взрывчаткой. После поджога фитиля, ОТОЙДИТЕ НАЗАД. Тем не менее, он может выйти из любой передряги.
Swedish Charlie var frånvarande under den första dagen på militärskolan så han missade den viktigaste regeln när det gäller hantering av sprängämnen. Efter att du har tänt stubinen, HÅLL AVSTÅNDET. Dock kan han spränga sig ur alla knepiga situationer.
Turkish Charlie askeri okulun ilk gününde yoktu, bu yüzden patlayıcılarla uğraşırken en önemli kuralı öğrenmeyi kaçırdı. Fitili ateşledikten sonra GERİ ÇEKİL. Yine de, her türlü zor durumda patlatıp yoluna devam edebilir.
