Biker Bones (Battles 2)

For Biker Bones in Bloons TD 6, see Biker Bones (BTD6).

Template:BTDB2 hero alt info Biker Bones is a Hero Alt of Striker Jones in Bloons TD Battles 2. He costs  2,000 Monkey Money and 40,000 Striker Jones Hero Points to unlock.

Biker Bones attacks by firing shells from his bazooka that explode on contact, dealing damage to Bloons caught in the blast. He cannot damage Black Bloons or Camo Bloons. As he levels up, his attack speed increases, his shells' explosions deal more damage to more Bloons at a time and cover a larger area, and he unlocks several ways to buff other towers, especially Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys, and debuff Bloons.

• At levels 4 and 18, he unlocks buffs that increase the attack speed of all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys.
• Starting at level 5, he causes all explosions to have a 50% chance to ignore Black Bloon properties, which becomes guaranteed at level 19.
• Starting at level 7, he buffs the blast radius of all Mortar Monkeys.
• Starting at level 8, he buffs the range and pierce of all towers within his range.
• He has two Activated Abilities:
  • Concussive Fire (level 3) — Fires a seeking shell at the densest cluster of non-Camo Bloon on-screen. It inflicts damage, extra damage to Ceramic Bloons and MOAB-Class Bloons, a stun effect, and a damage over time effect on all Bloons hit by the explosion. Its damage and stun duration increase at higher levels.
  • Artillery Fire (level 10) — Doubles the damage of all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys and grants them an additional damage over time effect for a short time. At level 20, it triples their damage.

Mechanics

Bazooka

Jones' bazooka fires a shell every 1.2 seconds that explodes on contact with a Bloon, dealing 1 explosion-type damage to up to 10 Bloons in its blast radius. He cannot target or hit Camo Bloons.

Levels (does not factor in passive buffs)

Level	Effect
2	Blast radius increases from 15 units to 19 units.
6	Pierce increases to 20. Blast radius increases to 28.5 units.
7	Damage increases to 2.
9	Attack cooldown reduces to 0.9 seconds, effectively increasing attack speed by roughly 33%.
11	Attack cooldown reduces to 0.65 seconds, effectively increasing attack speed by roughly 38.5%.
12	Damage increases to 3. Range increases from 55 units to 58 units.
13	Attack cooldown reduces to 0.5 seconds, effectively increasing attack speed by 30%.
16	Attack cooldown reduces to 0.35 seconds, effectively increasing attack speed by roughly 42.9%.
17	Damage increases to 4. Range increases to 60 units.
18	Attack cooldown reduces to 0.2 seconds, effectively increasing attack speed by roughly 75%.

Buffs

Biker Bones provides several passive buffs. Each one is unlocked at a different level.

• Level 4: reduces the attack cooldowns of all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys on-screen by 10%, effectively increasing their attack speed by roughly 11.1%.
• Level 7: increases the blast radius of all Mortar Monkeys on-screen by 25%.
• Level 8: buffs all towers within his range, not just Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys, increasing their range by 5% and pierce by 30%.
• Level 18: reduces the attack cooldowns of all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys on-screen by 10%. This stacks multiplicatively with the level 4 buff.

Black Bloon debuff

Starting at level 5, all Black Bloons, Zebra Bloons, and DDTs have a 50% chance for their immunity to explosion damage to be ignored when hit. This chance is applied separately for each Bloon hit by a source of explosion damage; for example, an explosion that hits two Black Bloons may damage one Black Bloon but not the other. This applies to projectiles that deal explosion-type damage, not just from Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys, though it does not affect damage over time. Starting at level 19, this chance becomes guaranteed.

Abilities

Concussive Fire

Concussive Fire is unlocked at level 3. It fires a seeking projectile that targets the Bloon within the densest cluster of Bloons on-screen. It cannot target Camo Bloons, even if Biker is granted Camo detection, though it does allow the explosion to hit Camo Bloons. The projectile can pass through line of sight blockers and through Bloons that are not the target. On impact, the explosion hits up to 72 Bloons in its radius, dealing 3 Unstoppable-type damage, +4 damage to Ceramic Bloons, +8 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons, stunning all non-BAD Bloons hit for 1 second, and inflicting a damage over time effect that deals 2 explosion-type damage every 1.5 seconds for 4 seconds. The damage type of its damage over time cannot be overridden by Monkey Intelligence Bureau or ignored by his Black Bloon debuff at level 5. The ability cannot be activated if there are no targetable Bloons on-screen. It has a 24-second cooldown and a 7.5-second initial cooldown.

Levels

Level	Effect
9	Damage increases to 20. Pierce increases to 82. Now stuns regular Bloons for 5 seconds and MOAB-Class Bloons for 3 seconds.
14	Blast radius increases from 40 units to 60 units. Now stuns regular Bloons for 7.5 seconds and MOAB-Class Bloons for 4.5 seconds.
15	Cooldown reduces to 16 seconds.

Artillery Fire

Artillery Fire is unlocked at level 10. For 7 seconds, it doubles the damage of all Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys on-screen and causes their projectiles to inflict an additional damage over time effect. The effect deals 2 explosion-type damage every 1.5 seconds, lasts for 4 seconds, and is separate from Burny Stuff (so Mortar Monkeys with Burny Stuff and above inflict both damage over time effects at the same time). It has a 60-second cooldown and no initial cooldown.

At level 20, it triples damage instead of doubling it. It has no effect on pierce, despite what its description states.

Version 1.0.6

Levels	Changes
10+	Artillery Fire: duration increased ― 5s → 8s

Version 4.1

“

Biker Bones’ new more general level 8 buff is an interesting one that we’re pleased to see has been effectively used with towers such as Spike Factory. We’re slightly increasing the buff to hopefully see more of this, as well as making the same changes to the Mortar buff which Striker Jones received.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
7+	Mortar Monkey blast radius buff increased ― +15% → +25%
8+	Pierce buff increased ― +25% → +30%

Version 4.3

“

The dense bloon targeting we added for Mortar in this update felt like it would be a good fit for Biker Bones as well, allowing him to affect more bloons with the stun and fire effects of his ability and further distinguish him from Striker Jones.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
3+	Concussive shot now aims at densest area, instead of the strongest bloon.  Concussive shot blast radius ― 27 → 40  Concussive shot pierce ― 48 → 72

Version 4.7

“

Similar to Striker Jones, Biker Bones relied too heavily on Bomb and Mortar to be useful and Striker was the better choice if you wanted to use those towers. With that in mind, we are reworking Bones so he leans much harder into the “Biker” part and synergises with vehicle towers, specifically Heli Pilot and Monkey Ace. As these towers do not specialise in explosive damage, there was no need for Biker to bypass explosive immunities so those upgrades have been replaced. In addition, Concussive Blast now targets the strongest bloon again. We were hoping the dense targeting would differentiate Biker from Striker but in practice it made the ability much less reliable and therefore worse.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
3+	Concussive Fire: now targets Strong instead of Dense
4+	Attack speed buff: now applies to Heli Pilots, Monkey Aces, and Biker Bones himself instead of Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys
5+	Replaced the Black Bloon debuff with a +10% range and pierce increase to Biker Bones
7+	Replaced the blast radius buff for Mortar Monkeys with a flame trail buff for Monkey Aces and Heli Pilots
10+	Artillery Fire: now applies to Heli Pilots, Monkey Aces, and Biker Bones himself instead of Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys
18+	Attack speed buff: now applies to Heli Pilots, Monkey Aces, and Biker Bones himself instead of Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys
19+	Replaced the Black Bloon debuff with a 10% range and pierce buff to all towers within Biker Bones' range except himself
20	Artillery Fire: now applies to Heli Pilots, Monkey Aces, and Biker Bones himself instead of Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys

Version 4.7 (OTA update 1)

•  Biker Bones no longer causes Bomber Ace to drop too many bombs (bug fix)

Version 4.10

“

With the synergy between Biker and ace struggling against early game black bloons we thought that adding the vulnerability would be a good addition to help against early game rushes
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
5–18	Now causes all explosion damage sources to ignore Black Bloon properties 50% of the time again
19+	Now causes all explosion damage sources to always ignore Black Bloon properties again

Version 4.11

“

Biker Bones is very strong with late game strategies. This nerf to his earlier game will make him weaker early game to balance out his late game strength. Additionally we are introducing a new synergy with the buccaneer to vary his playstyles.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
3+	Concussive Blast: Ability cooldown increased ― 24s → 30s
7+	Flame Trail: Pierce reduced ― 4 → 2  Flame Trail: Now affects the fighter planes of Aircraft Carrier and Carrier Flagship
