Striker Jones



"Stricker Jones is a strong Commander who uses his knowledge of long range combat to greatly boost the power of explosives."

- Bloons TD6

Striker Jones is a Hero in Bloons TD 6. He specializes in military weaponry. He's unable to pop camo, and mainly supports Bomb Shooters. He’s also unable to pop Black Bloons, until level 9, which makes them less resistant to explosives.

He costs $640 on Easy, $750 on Medium, $815 on Hard, and $900 on Impoppable.

Trivia

 * Striker Jones currently affects Bomb Shooters and Mortar Monkeys(who were introduced in 6.0). But since Dartling Gunners hasn't been released yet, and is confirmed to be released soon, it is expected that Striker Jones will affect Dartlings too.
 * Both Jones and Captain Churchill use military weapons.
