In his armored battle tank, the captain is a no-nonsense powerhouse on the field.
~ Captain Churchill in-game description

Captain Churchill is a Hero that was added in Version 1.1.0 for Bloons TD Battles 2. He is the first new Hero to be added in the game. He is also the first hero in the game to get the opportunity for early access material, introduced on 27th February 2022.

Captain Churchill shoots shells that explode up to 3 times, just like a Hydra Rocket Pods, shooting them every 0.7s within his very wide 63 range. His shells can explode more times as he levels up. Each explosions has a blast radius of 18 and hits up to 15 bloons each.

Captain Churchill has two abilities. His first ability, Armor Piercing Shells, increases the number of explosions from the shell by +4, allows him to pop all bloon types, and inflicts more damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class bloons. His second ability, MOAB Barrage, repeatly strikes the strongest blimps, producing 16 powerful missiles, targeting up to 10 of the strongest blimps at a time.

He costs $1,500. He is unlocked with a one-off purchase of Monkey Money4000. He has one Hero Alt, Sentai Churchill, which is unlocked with 40,000 Churchill XP and Monkey Money2000.

~ Sentai Churchill in-game description

Sentai Churchill is a Hero Alt of Captain Churchill in Bloons TD Battles 2. Instead of being a pure reskin of a hero, Sentai Churchill offers a variety of sidegrades compared to the original Captain Churchill, offering a different playstyle. Unlike in the game Bloons TD 6, Sentai Churchill trades off lower pierce for more energetic attacks. His basic explosive shell attack applies a Laser Shock damage-over-time status effect that slowly damages affected bloons and become vulnerable to extra damage if struck again. He gains access to faster, focused abilities.

Sentai Churchill has two abilities. His first ability, High Energy Shells, speeds up his attack speed, allows him to pop all bloon types, and inflicts a stronger Laser Shock damage-over-time. His second ability, Orbital Barrage, repeatly strikes the strongest blimps faster and brutally continues to hit blimp descendants, and produces up to 50 rapid-fire weaker missiles instead of 16 strong missiles, but targets only up to 5 blimps instead of 10.

He costs $1500 to place in-game.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

Captain Churchill is a powerhouse for high DPS. He can be paired with a solid three-tower loadout for a big boost in grouped DPS. While Sentai Churchill still helps with this, he has considerably less pierce on his explosions. Compared to the buffing power of Obyn and his abilities, Churchill has the grouped bloon advantage and comes with more effective long-term MOAB-class popping options, as well as reliable grouped camo detection.

Tips[]

  • Place Churchill down straight lines to utilize as many explosions from each shell as possible.
  • The MOAB Barrage and Orbital Barrage abilities are strong counters to DDTs, provided there aren’t too many.
  • It is definitely possible to place him on Round 1 without losing every life even if the opponent sends full Spaced Blues, but this specific strategy only works on long maps, and usually isn’t necessary.
  • If placed on Round 1, he can level up fast enough to reach Level 6 by Round 12 with no manual leveling required. If placed on Round 2, he can level fast enough that only $40 must be spent for Level 6.
  • A great way to get Churchill on round 2 is to start with a cheap defensive tower like Sub, Tack, Boomerang, or Dart Monkey, then sell them on round 2 in order to be able to afford Churchill.
  • With Sentai Churchill, using his level 10 ability on an almost popped ZOMG will reduce all of it‘s insides into ceramics. Make sure you have a tower capable of dealing with them such as Glue Strike or Snowstorm, otherwise you might end up making yourself lose.

Version History[]

Captain Churchill (Version History)[]

While he took a considerable time finding his place in the meta since release, Captain Churchill has made a name for herself in strategies that struggle early game, being the bridge between the early game and the early-midgame. His buff in update 1.9 lead him into finding his place, being now more easily affordable on round 1, which has made way for new strategies such as Engi-Farm-Super, which became the new meta on Thin Ice. However, he is still outclassed by Sentai Churchill in almost every aspect, leading to base Churchill being relatively underused.

1.1.0 (Churchill update)
  • BUFF Captain Churchill base price decreased ($2000 → $1700)
  • BUFF Captain Churchill's leveling speed has been increased to match competitive play. Starts with around the speed of pre-1.1.0 Heroes.
  • BUFF Captain Churchill's leveling thresholds have a 1.5× multiplier rather than 1.71× compared to other heroes
  • BUFF Captain Churchill's MOAB Barrage damage increased on all levels
  • BUFF Captain Churchill's abilities now have no initial cooldown
1.6.0
  • NERF In-game XP requirements for all heroes has been scaled to reach level 10 slower but reach level 20 remaining approximately the same.
1.6.1
  • BUFF Reverted XP requirements nerf for Captain Churchill
1.9.0
  • BUFF Captain Churchill cost decreased ($1700 → $1500)
1.10.3
  • NERF Level 3+ Armor piercing Shells ability cooldown increased (30s → 35)
While Captain Churchill does not get used as much as Sentai Churchill, we acknowledge that he is still a very powerful hero and have adjusted his ability cooldown in line with Sentai Churchill’s.
~ Ninja Kiwi
2.1.0
  • BUFF Level 3: ability increases shell pierce by +2 → +4
Sentai Churchill is favoured over Captain Churchill largely due to his stronger early game. Captain Churchill’s level 3 ability is not that effective in the early game when compared to Sentai’s, so we are giving it a pretty hefty buff to help put him closer in line with Sentai.
~ Ninja Kiwi

Sentai Churchill (Version History)[]

Similar to his base counterpart, Sentai Churchill has struggled to find a place in the meta until update 1.9, creating the popular strategy of Engi-Farm-Super, specifically on Thin Ice. However, he has had a much easier time than his base counterpart, due to players finding him to be worth using over regular Churchill just about everytime. This is mainly due to performing better against spaced Bloons early game, his level 3 ability granting increased attack speed, and his level 10 ability being much stronger.

Initial release (compared to BTD6 during Version 28.0)
  • Change Sentai Churchill now has a new set of statistics instead of matching normal Captain Churchill
1.6.0
  • NERF In-game XP requirements for all heroes has been scaled to reach level 10 slower but reach level 20 remaining approximately the same.
1.6.1
  • BUFF Reverted XP requirements nerf for Sentai Churchill
1.9.0
  • BUFF Sentai Churchill cost decreased ($1700 → $1500)
1.9.3
  • NERF Level 3+ High Energy Shells cooldown increased (30s → 35s)
Sentai Churchill has shown to be the clear favorite over Captain Churchill and has gained a lot of popularity recently, being extremely effective for early and mid game defense. We have increased the duration of Sentai’s level 3 ability in order to bring Sentai Churchill closer in line with Captain Churchill, making it slightly less effective at dealing with multiple early/mid game rushes.
~ Ninja Kiwi
1.10.0
  • NERF Level 3+ High Energy Shells attack speed increase reduced from -50% to -45%
Sentai Churchill has still proven to be one of the strongest and most popular heroes in Hall of Masters, so we are giving it another small nerf to bring it more in line with the other heroes.
~ Ninja Kiwi
1.10.3
  • NERF Level 3+ High Energy Shells cooldown increased (35s → 45s)
Previous changes to Sentai Churchill had little impact, so we are making another small adjustment to his early/mid game dominance.
~ Ninja Kiwi
2.0
  • NERF Sentai Churchill's explosions no longer apply Laser Shock, only his shell
  • BUFF [bug fix] Laser Shock now actually allows new Laser Shock attacks to deal bonus damage, popping a bloon automatically once more if it strikes again while it already has laser shock.
2.0.4
  • BUFF Sentai Churchill's explosions now apply Laser Shock, in addition to his shell
2.2
  • NERF Level 1: Pierce per explosion 5 → 4 (carries over to future levels, so 7 → 6 at level 2, 10 → 9 at level 11)
  • NERF Level 3 High Energy Shells: ability reduces attack cooldown by 45% → 42%
Sentai Churchill is extremely strong in the early game for its cost. Not much gets past its ability either, so minor adjustments have been made to both.

4.0.2
  • BUFF Level 1: Pierce per explosion increased by 1 (4 → 5 at Level 1, 6 → 7 at Level 2 and 9 → 10 at Level 11+)
For quite a while now Captain Churchill has been preferred over Sentai Churchill, so we wanted to give Sentai Churchill a small buff to even it out.
