Spirit of the Forest (BTDB2)

"quote"

- BTDB2 description

Spirit of the Forest is the 5th and final upgrade of Path 2 for the Druid in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart, except the money-generating ability is much higher and has a end of round cash of $3,000. Using the ability gives $750 and 25 lives, and cooldown of 40 seconds. Initial cooldown follows the Jungle's Bounty's ability. Within a few seconds of upgrading to a spirit of the forest, the tower will create 3 different types of permanent vines along the track that damage bloons that come in contact with them.

Summary
Spirit of the Forest has very high pierce and can quickly handle grouped bloons provided a maxed vine load. However, its ability also does life regeneration on top of higher income generation except the ability, which does a little less. The life regeneration can be helpful or harmful depending on circumstances, but often harmful for Heart of Vengeance strategies, especially given that the ability is not separate from normal Jungle's Bounty abilities.

Tips

 * Placement matters in this game because the vines become more deadly the closer to the Druid.
 * Crosspathing doesn't matter too much, but 0-5-2 for the headstart for the vines is nice to have.

 * [1.0.6, discovered 1.0.6?] When given pierce buffs, a boosted Spirit of the Forest deals quadratic damage with its on-track vines the more bloons on screen there are. An example showcase of this bug was shown by ISAB's "So The Spirit Of The Forest Is A Little Bit Broken..." video, testing this exploit on a private match with the request that his opponent send an all-out rush, to which was dispatched quickly by Spirit of the Forest. Patched in Version 1.1.1.
