Tower Heli Pilot — Path 2 — Tier 4
Cost $7,500

Support Chinook is the Heli Pilot's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. It grants Heli Pilot two new abilities: Reposition, and Supply Crate. Reposition allows the Chinook to pick up a "non-heavy" tower to a new location. Supply Crate drops a single crate containing cash. Despite mentioning "lives", it doesn't do that since the nerf in version 4.13 OTA Update 1.

Abilities

edit

Reposition

edit

The Reposition ability opens up a menu to pick a valid tower or Hero to a new valid location. It cannot pick up the following:

After confirming a new location for the target, the ability is used and goes through a 60 second cooldown.

Supplies

edit

Activating the Supplies ability drops a single crate that rewards $3500 once collected. The crate itself lasts up to 15 seconds before automatically expiring. This ability starts with a 20 second initial cooldown, and has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 4.13

Support Chinook is very efficient cash generation for its cost and make enough money to allow a method of preventing GG Round 40 if affording Special Poperations soon enough, in addition to stall potential from Downdraft to deal with individual Ceramics, and stall out rounds to get more ability usages. It is vital to take advantage of Chinook for late-game strategies, particularly eco loadouts such as Heli-Ice-Super. Since the nerf in the OTA Update 1 of version 4.13, Chinook is still very easy to snowball income when compared to other ability alt eco options like Supply Drop.

Crosspathing doesn't matter much, but 0-4-2 is usually preferred for the faster blowback. If going purely for income, 0-4-0 is preferred; however, the blowback is enough to sometimes matter against large groups of Bloons.

One Support Chinook is worth 350 eco, and its cost efficiency is a little more efficient than Zebra eco, though not less efficient than Pink eco. However, much like most other income-generating abilities, Chinook comes with support as well as having additional selling power in case of needing to afford more defenses, plus the usual capability to substitute eco once eco becomes drained by sending high power rushes.

Heli Pilot’s large footprint has been a major limitation on the tower’s viability on a lot of maps, so we hope to open up its viability by reducing its size.

Heli is quite under utilized on maps that aren’t Bloon Bot Factory. These changes should make it a more viable tower for other maps.

Version 4.13 (OTA update 1)

“
The previous changes to Heli Pilot were a bit too much. This change to cash and life production should bring it back in line. The change to the redeploy cooldown will allow more strategies to rely on this ability.
