| ~ Bloons TD6 |
Quincy is a Hero in the game Bloons TD 6. He specializes in archery-related weaponry. His main attack is an arrow that ricochets off of 3 targets. Quincy has medium range. He is an all-around Hero with a decent attack speed, good against popping early-game bloons, and is cheap enough to start with him in most games.
He costs $455 on Easy, $540 on Medium, $585 on Hard, and $650 on Impoppable.
Quincy has been the hero shown the most, and is the starting hero of the game. The first mention of Quincy was in a blog post by HayleyBelleNK on 23 November 2017, which has revealed Quincy's silhouette, along with a note saying "BTW, Quincy says 'Hi.'"
Quincy appears to be holding a compound bow with arrows with orange fletchlings at the ends. He also appears to be wearing a carbon suit with orange outlines and a few pouches.
In the 5.0 update, he was given a new skin, named Cyber Quincy, alongside a new appearance and new voice lines. Quincy's bow, arrows and suit outlines are now cyan colored. He also wears an eyepatch on his left eye(right eye on the artwork). The skin costs 
2500 to unlock.
In the 15.0 update, he was given a second new skin, named Wolfpack Quincy, alongside a new appearance and new voice lines. Quincy's eye is now a tint of green. He also wears small tufts of white wolf fur on his head and his suit. The skin costs 2500 to unlock, just like Cyber Quincy.
Upgrades
Quincy will start upgrading himself every round upon placement. He earns more XP each round to unlock his next upgrade irrespective of how many bloons he pops.

Tips
- He is very useful for players who have only just started the game. With good popping power for how much he costs in the early-game, the player can spend more time exploring other towers without needing to focus too much on logical defense. He's best for his early camo detection.
- Since Version 10.0, the base price drop makes him very useful for starting on Round 6 on CHIMPS Mode, particularly after Version 11.0 with the price nerf for Obyn Greenfoot.
- Quincy start on some maps are the easiest to start off a game of CHIMPS Mode.

Trivia
- His in-game quotes confirm the correct pronunciations for some of the MOAB-class bloons. It is confirmed that BFB, ZOMG, DDT, and BAD are all officially pronounced by their initials, rather than as single words.
- Quincy, alongside Churchill, are currently the only purely offensive heroes that can detect camos with their main attack, as they lack support capabilities.
- His line "I am Quincy, son of Quincy." may be a reference to the i am x son of y trope . It may also be a reference to the earl son of earl greentext, where the player created thousands of the same characters, each having the same statistics and name as the last one.
- His name may be a reference to the Quincy, a fictional race in Bleach, who also wield bows and arrows, but in this case, spiritual ones.
- The exploding arrows appear to have limited popping power, likely 40 or less.
- In a Valentine's Day post on Facebook from Ninja Kiwi, Quincy is seen nervously holding a box of Valentine's candy which bears a tag with a picture of a flame on it. This may imply that Quincy has a crush on Gwendolin.
- Quincy has been memed by fans and YouTubers such as ISAB due to him being a damage per second hero, but not having good DPS when compared to other heroes, making many fans consider him one of the worst heroes.
- As of Version 15.0, Quincy is the first (and currently only) Hero to have two alternate skins.
