Her Heat It Up has been nerfed in Version 6.0, and has dropped in power ranking since then.

Bugs:
There is currently a bug where Striker Jones’ Level 5 and 19 buffs allow energy-based attacks to damage DDTs.
If Level 19 is obtained through exp instead of being purchased with cash, its secondary effect does not take place; meaning Black bloons still have a 50% chance of being damaged by explosives at Levels 19 & 20 instead of a guaranteed hit.
===========================================================================

Obyn Greenfoot is a Hero in the game Bloons TD 6. He specializes in nature-based attacks and weapons, and is one of the cheapest heroes so far.

His main attack launches “spirit wolves” at Bloons. This attack homes in on Bloons, can travel through objects, and pierces up to 4 bloons before disappearing, initially dealing 2 damage every time his main attack hits a bloon. He is capable of popping Lead Bloons, but he cannot pop Camo Bloons or pop Purple Bloons outside of his abilities. Both of his abilities, Brambles and Wall of Trees, place road items randomly on the track meaning there is an element of luck every time they are used. In addition, Obyn at higher levels will regularly place his slowdown totems randomly around nearby track within range.

Obyn Greenfoot additionally comes with sets of local-ranged buffs towards mostly Druids. At Level 2+, he grants all nearby Druids with +1 pierce. At Level 11+, he grants all Magic Monkeys nearby with +2 pierce and +5 range on top of any other buffs, in turn buffing Druids to +3 pierce instead of +2. At Level 18+, his final buff allows all Druids of Wrath to immediately start with full wrath for maximum attack speed.

Base Costs: $550 on Easy, $650 on Medium, $700 on Hard, and $780 on Impoppable.

===========================================================================
Version History:
Obyn received many buffs in earlier versions of BTD6 due to being outclassed by other heroes in both support and damage. On Version 8.0, he received some significant buffs to his main attack damage and pierce bonus for Magic Monkeys, but later received a series of nerfs that later made him less versatile in the early mid-game, although he is still an effective early-game hero and remains the best hero option for Avatar of Wrath + Poplust strategies. Later on, he received a few buffs dedicated to making his abilities more reliable.

Bugs:
MOAB Barrage does not target blimps correctly. It is intended to always target the largest blimp on screen, but it appears to target the last blimp on screen with the last 9 missiles. Despite 14.0 supposedly fixing the bug, the bug still occurs.
There was a bug that made Captain Churchill weaker because the machine gun and main gun could not damage the same bloon if they happen to attack simultaneously. This was fixed on Version 22.0.
===========================================================================
Fun Fact: Captain Churchill is based off of the former British prime minister Winston Churchill, a famous war hero known for leading Britain during World War II.

Benjamin is a Hero in Bloons Tower Defense 6. Benjamin was released in the 3.0 update on August 22nd, 2018. It costs 3,000 Monkey money to unlock him.

Unlike other heroes, Benjamin does not attack bloons directly. Instead, he uses his hacking skills to primarily provide extra money, as well as lives at Level 6+. He does gain a Bloon Trojan attack starting at Level 7, where affected bloons spawn no children when destroyed. At Level 10+, he gains an ability that downgrades all incoming bloons (except DDTs and BADs) by one rank as well as doubling cash per pop for all affected bloons (triple at Level 20). Benjamin levels 1.5x slower than the base four heroes (Quincy, Gwendolin, Striker, and Obyn), or 0.66x as fast.

In version 11.0, he was given a new skin called DJ Benjammin’, or just Benjammin’, who has new voice lines and graphics. He wears slacky white clothes and a white cap which he wears backwards, and his computer is replaced with a DJ turntable and a laptop. This skin costs 2,500 Monkey money to unlock. A Sushi Bento skin was added in version 24.0, replacing Benjamin’s laptop and desk with a sushi mat.

2. Skimming on rounds with Bloon Rushes can earn players a lot of cash quickly, when combined with Syphon Funding. This can also make the rush easier to deal with.

Ezili is a Hero in Bloons Tower Defense 6 who was added in the game in the 7.0 update. She uses dark voodoo magic to attack the bloons. Her attacks act similarly to the Alchemist, except the magic only pops up to 5 bloons at a time and initially only applies damage-over-time to one bloon at a time. Since she attacks with magic, she can’t pop Purple Bloons unless in range of an MIB Village. She is tied with Sauda as the second-cheapest Hero in the game (with Quincy as the cheapest), Ezili can be unlocked for 3000 Monkey Money.

Ezili’s hero skin, Smudge Catt, was released in the 12.0 update. With this skin, she turns blue with green eyes, and has an orange cat.

===========================================================================
Fun Fact: Pat Fusty’s voice has a striking resemblance to the voice of Patrick Star from the Successful Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. One of Pat’s voice lines is similar to a line Patrick Star says in Season 10. Episode 1. Whirly Brains; at one point in that episode, Patrick says “M-O-O-N spells moon!”, whereas Pat Fusty says “B-A-D spells BAD!” when a B.A.D. appears on the track.

Adora is a Hero in Bloons Tower Defense 6 that was added to the game in update 14.0. She shoots homing sunbeams that can pop up to 5 bloons per shot, including Lead Bloons.

===========================================================================
Base costs: $850 on Easy, $1000 on Medium, $1080 on Hard and $1200 on Impoppable.
===========================================================================
Pros:
1. Blood Sacrifice ability can be used to wipe out unneeded towers
2. Monkey city upgrade (0-0-4 Village) can provide an endless free supply of dart monkey which can be used to keep Adora’s level 7 abiltiy running at not only buffing not just Adora but also the 3-0-0 super monkeys within her range.
Cons:
1. Not a good hero to use on CHIMPS or on Co-Op Mode.
2. Weak in mid-game without utilizing her Blood Sacrifice ability to gain higher levels.
===========================================================================
Upgrades:
Level 1 – Divine Bolt seeks out and destroys Bloons.
Each Divine Bolt can pierce through 6 Bloons.
Level 2 – Increased attack range.
Level 3 – The Long Arm of Light: Greatly increases attack range and power for a short time. (also allows adora to damage all bloon types as well)
Level 4 – Shoots double Divine Bolts.

2 more pierce, 8 in total
Level 6 – Shoots 3 Divine Bolts at a time.

Level 8 – Shoots 4 Divine Bolts at a time.
Level 9 – Increased attack range.
Level 10 – Ball of Light: Brings forth a powerful ball of energy to strike down the Bloons.(can deal up to 771 damage total [tested on a round 309 BAD without any buffs])

Level 20 – Ball of Light is greatly improved. (can deal up to 8580 damage total)
True Sun God Form (level 21) – +5 damage and +30 pierce to all attacks. Ball of Light Total Damage Output is increased to 10725. (without any buffs)
===========================================================================
Abilities:
The Long Arm of Light – While active, Adora’s attack range and power are boosted tremendously. This ability also allows her to pop Purple Bloons. This ability becomes even more potent at Level 16.
Level 3 :+5 pierce, double range and allow Adora to pop purple bloons for 10 seconds.
Level 16: Now doubles damage for 15 seconds.
Blood Sacrifice – Adora can sacrifice another tower on the field to give herself a large XP boost for no cost. The amount varies depending on the cost of the tower and its upgrades, with more expensive towers granting more XP. The amount is 4 times the value of the sacrificed tower; i.e., if she sacrifices a tower worth $6,500, it’s as though she applied $26,000 toward XP.
Additionally, upon activation Adora and all Sun Avatars in range receive 10% attack speed and range for 10 seconds, essentially the cooldown time for the ability. Blood Sacrifice buff also affects Sun Temple and True Sun God.
Ball of Light – A ball of light surrounds Adora for a short while, doing massive damage against a single target at (apparently) unlimited range. This attack, while independent, relies on the same targeting priority as Adora herself. This ability becomes more powerful when Adora is fully leveled up. At level 20, it can remain active more than half the time, allowing her to take down a B.A.D. single-handedly on some maps. Although Adora cannot detect camo Bloons without support (e.g. radar scanner) the ball of light itself CAN detect camo, if it passes through the radius of a 0-2-0 village, as it is orbiting the tower, even when Adora herself is not within the radius.
===========================================================================
Version History:
Adora received a small buff overall, mostly to improve her balancing before she reaches her powerful Level 20. While some higher skilled players debate that Adora is one of the worst heroes, casual players often tend to prefer using her instead because of her multiple accurate long-ranged bolts.
21.0
Buff. XP requirements for all levels reduced by 5% (1.8x levelling speed to 1.71x levelling speed)

Buff. Blood Sacrifice now also increases the attack speed and range of Adora and Sun Avatars in range by 10% each for 10 seconds. Also affects Sun Temples and above.
Ninja Kiwi provided reasoning for this balance change in the 22.0 Patch Notes.
“ Adora’s level 7 ability served little purpose once she reached level 20, to solve this and also give her a small overall buff we have applied an extra bonus when sacrifice is used. ”
Description changed to reflect buff.
Changed from “Blood Sacrifice: Sacrifice a targeted Tower to grant Adora large amounts of XP.” to “Blood Sacrifice: Sacrifice a targeted Tower to grant Adora large amounts of XP and boost her attack range and rate of fire for a short time.”

Fun Fact: Adora’s name and apperance appear to be a reference to Adora/She-Ra from the show She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Fun Fact:
the quote “Good work! I’ll most likely **** you in the morning!” when she is very annoyed is very similar to what the male protagonist (Wesley) quoted from the Dread Pirate Roberts when he took Wesley in as part of his crew.

Etienne is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, released in the Version 20.0 update. He specializes in air-based attacks using drones. He initially has 55 range with his main attack being a ranged attack from his drone. As he levels up, he’ll be able to control a greater number of drones, utilizing an increasing number of control patterns for his drones. At Level 8+, he grants camo detection to all towers on screen, like a global Radar Scanner. At Level 10+, a large UCAV (Unmonkeyed Combat Aerial Vehicle) can be summoned with an ability. This ability allows the UCAV to move at a low-flying height while shooting waves of missiles, comparable to a mix between Adora and Spectre, or the Rocket Storm ability. Level 20 modifies the Level 10-19 ability to deal hugely increased damage from the UCAV, while keeping the regular UCAV characteristic of the Level 10 ability active permanently. Note that the Level 20 permanent UCAV is only powerful as the UCAV from the Level 10 ability, discounting UCAV upgrades after Level 10 for the permanent UCAV.

Version History:
During the first few weeks of Etienne’s release, most of the community considered him to be a very weak hero, as they felt his earlier upgrades were far too weak. However, as time passed on, the community discovered that he is in fact a very powerful hero when used correctly, especially because of his UCAV ability. His UCAV got nerfed after players began to showcase feats of him saving up heaps of money on CHIMPS, but still remains as a top-tier hero on True Experts in particular.

Sauda is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, first released in Version 24.0. She is a swordmaster, and is the second melee hero in the game (the first being Pat Fusty). She uses her two swords to pop bloons, dealing one damage per attack across a 90-180 degree cone.

She is the second hero to receive built-in camo detection at base level, the first being Ezili. She is unlockable with a one-off cost of 5000 monkey money.

During the first few weeks of her release, Sauda was considered “overpowered” by the BTD6 community, attributed mostly to her extreme numbers of new 2TC combos. However, as time went by, the BTD6 community began to realize that she has been overestimated, due to the fact that her true power only opens where she can be placed in a spot where her low range but high attack speed and damage can be maximized.
On the April 2021 Q&A video, Ninja Kiwi stated that Sauda would be nerfed in Version 25.0 with range nerfs. This in effect has retained her start-of-game utility but restrict her further into map-dependency.
