Admiral Brickell makes her first appearance in the game Bloons TD 6. She is the sixth new hero added to the game, in Version 18.0.

Admiral Brickell shoots a pistol that deals multiple damage to bloons, and regularly deploys mines on nearby water that track bloons to explode onto. At higher levels, she can buff nearby water towers to enhance their attack speed, pierce, popping of bloon properties, and detection of Camo Bloons. She also has a gigantic Mega Mine that only targets MOAB-class bloons, dealing massive damage across a wide area.

Description[]

Appearance[]

Admiral Brickell, as implied by her name, is a naval admiral. She wears a naval uniform, colored navy with golden-yellow colors complementing her superior naval rank. She has long grey hair that she ties back into a low ponytail, enough to be visible out of her naval cap and has dark, thick eyebrows. Brickell stands on top of the deck of her naval ship, which contains a tall quarter deck and a flag of her emblem. The sides of her ship have large holes for dispensing mines.

Her naval cap has a golden anchor emblem and trim, and a navy blue brim. Her long-sleeved naval dress is navy-blue with a collar, has 6 golden buttons in a 3x2 formation on her front torso, and two golden braid insignias around each sleeve. She wears brown pants, gloves, and ankle-high boots colored navy blue. In her right hand is a revolver with a wooden grip, a brass trigger guard, and a steel barrel and cylinder (housing four chambers). She has her foot on the railing of the ship, and lowers it down at level 20.

Personality[]

Brickell has a serious mood in the war with the Bloons, but lets go of some of her intensity when she levels up - seemingly taking a break and focusing on her bright side. This can easily be seen at level 20 when she says “I look good in dress whites!”, as she’s clearly admiring herself, and seems optimistic.

Dread Pirate Brickell is Admiral Brickell's first skin, first released to Bloons TD 6 on Version 20.0, and the 13th Hero skin to be ever released.

Dread Pirate Brickell becomes a captain of her own pirate ship, stylized as a traditional 1800's style Caribbean pirate. She speaks in a British accent, in a casual tone. She has thick navy blue locks, her fur is a similar shade of blue, and has purple irises. She wears a beige coat with red on the front of the coat and blue rings around the coat. She wields a pistol with fancy glyphic adornments. Her emblem is changed to a black background with a red X symbol. The mine deployment holes on the side of her ship now have metal rims, and the openings are made of wood.

As she levels up, her pistol gains a scope, she wears two feathers on her head and she gains a traditional Pirate's hat. At level 7, when Brickell gains camo detection, the flag on top of her ship is changed to a black one with a red stylized drawing of an eyeball, with a red one featuring a black X placed above it. The flag that she holds starting at level 3 also gains the X sign, in black and red.

At level 20, She switches to a red and gold outfit and re-paints her ship's colors to a dark brown with red and yellow highlights. Her pistol changes shape and gains a golden muzzle.

Lifeguard Brickell is the second skin for Admiral Brickell, released to Bloons TD 6 on Version 38.0.

When used, Brickell becomes a lifeguard standing on a small raft. She holds a water pistol and wears a short-sleeved shirt bearing an orange life-ring symbol on it. The back of her ship becomes a tall chair, flying a flag with the same life-ring symbol. An actual life-ring is tied to the side of her ship, reflecting the insignia. Instead of placing mines, she places explosive buoys that target Bloons.

As she levels up, she gains a whistle and a megaphone, and wears a pair of shades over her head starting from level 10. Her raft also changes color, having a yellow tip at level 7, becoming fully yellow at level 10, then finally becoming black and orange at level 20.

Cultural references[]

  • The Dread Pirate Brickell Alternate skin could be a reference to the movie The Princess Bride's Dread Pirate Roberts, as both are very similar in name.
  • The quote "I have not yet begun to fight." is a reference to the same famous words said from the eighteenth-century naval hero, Captain John Paul Jones.
  • When annoyed, she will address the player as "XO". This is second highest title in the chain of command for naval ships.
    • While the player does take charge of everyone in game, the captain, or CO, has the upmost authority of their ship and its crew. This can explain why Admiral Brickell might outrank the player as her title is the highest ranking officer that can oversee an entire naval fleet and assumed command of her ship.
    • Similarly, this happens in game when having the Monkey Knowledge Sub Admiral enabled that affects a Sub Commander, which benefits every Monkey Sub on screen.
  • The quote "We're gonna need a bigger boat." is most likely a reference to the iconic line from the film Jaws.
