Gorgon Storm

 is an upgrade in the Military Monkey Knowledge tree, added in Version 22.0. It allows the Rocket Storm ability's rockets to stun bloons and blimps. It wil temporarily stun affected bloons for 0.5s per rocket, or 0.1s for blimps. It requires four military knowledge points invested and Emergency Unlock.

Summary
Gorgon Storm transforms Rocket Storm into an effective stalling tower, allowing the ability to stun any bloons hit by the ability rockets for a rather low price. 0.5s and 0.1s stun time per rocket may not seem a lot, but it makes a significant difference at optimizing the ability's damage potential. The brief stuns between each wave of rockets partially stalls blimps and bloons. This stalling potential helps clump up the affected blimps and bloons in position, allowing both the Rocket Storm and other towers to have an easier time destroying the affected bloons.

Tips

 * It is the most effective versus MOAB-class bloons and Super Ceramics, as they take many hits to destroy with the Rocket Storm ability. Stun duration itself is low on MOAB-class bloons, but the brief stuns help slightly clump up the blimps.
 * With enough Rocket Storms with Gorgon Storm, it can outclass the damage output and stunning power of Pop and Awe, as long as the Rocket Storms are aimed correctly.
 * Despite the short stun times per rocket, the uptime for the stuns on regular bloons is roughly 90% if taking into account random projectile deviation, or over 100% if any rockets end up hit the same target at different intervals. To optimize the reliability of the stuns, a Jungle Drums and an Overclock are very useful as aid.

Trivia

 * The description refers to Rocket Storm as "Hydra Rocket Storm".
 * In Greek mythology, Gorgons are mythical creatures that all have snake hair. There were three Gorgons, named Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, all of which were daughters of Echidna and Typhon.
 * How the Gorgons link to the Rocket Storm's "Gorgon Storm" MK is not quite known, although the erratic missile movement is comparable to the movement of serpents, while the stun power of the Rocket Storm ability resembles Medusa's power to turn people into stone just by looking at them.
 * Hydras, the name of the rockets fired, also come from Greek mythology.
