The first upgrade, Piranha, summons a small fish that leaps at bloons and bites them once. Path 1 involves increasingly large aquatic animals that require nearby water and excel at high single-target damage with some collateral damage. All tier 5 upgrades require a tier 4 Beast Handler merged with three of the same tier 4 Beast Handlers to purchase. It is a utility tower that can command beasts who fulfill different roles depending on the path. Their hair is a high fro tied with a rope. The base Beast Handler carries a Beast Melee Staff and wears a colorful circular neck protector. Please bear with us while our editors improve the page. This section or article is currently a work in progress (WIP), and therefore under construction. It costs $210 on Easy, $250 on Medium, $270 on Hard, and $300 on Impoppable. Having all three respective Tier 5 Beast Handlers active at maximum power will require at least 18 different Beast Handlers. After purchasing a Tier 5 upgrade, it is possible to keep the Tier 5 while still selling the merged Tier 4 Handlers, of course with the caveat of losing power for that Beast Handler. 4 contributing handlers at Tier 4 are required in order to access the Tier 5 upgrades.

Beasts of the same terrain type can be merged into stronger or equal tier beasts to enhance the power of the host. When at max energy, the beast gets a new skin. By giving a beast more energy, it empowers all of the host beast's attacks. All beasts incorporate a unique energy system that allows merging of beasts of the same terrain, bigger and more powerful beasts costing more energy.

All of these actions are controlled by a green button next to the Beast Handler's portrait, the ' Place Beast' button.īeast Handlers can co-operate in a special networking system to merge weaker beasts into stronger beasts, upgrading them in the process. Bottom path is different the birds can move anywhere in the Beast Handler's effective range, similarly to Etienne's drones, but can target where bloons are re-positioned. Middle path is placed on land and can be moved similarly to the top path. Top path requires water to be placed or upgraded and can be moved anywhere, granted there is water. These beasts are each placed and targeted differently. Land and water beasts can share range among two or more handlers connected by being linked within range of each other, while flying beasts can fly within range of all contributing handlers across the screen.Įach upgrade path gives the Beast Handler access to different beasts: top path is water-based, middle path gives theropod beasts, and bottom path offers avian creatures. When two or more Beast Handlers are merged, the beasts can be placed inside of the range of connected Beast Handlers, similarly to Advanced Intel. These beasts can be placed anywhere in its larger (60) range, essentially giving the tower two ranges. Upon owning any beast, the base attack stops in order to focus on the beast(s).

The Beast Handler handles beasts that help stop the bloons, which are accessed by buying upgrades. It can, however, be placed on frozen water. It cannot be buffed by Alchemists and cannot be picked up by Support Chinook. The base Beast Handler uses its staff to pop bloons, where it stabs up to 4 bloons with its staff every 1.4s, each hit dealing 1 damage ( energy), each attack ignores Line of Sight obstacles provided it can detect a bloon, and has 20 range, the smallest of any tower. Unlike most towers, the Beast Handler is unlocked after completing all 3 stages of the ' Epic Beast Quest' that is unlocked at Level 40, accessible via Quests. This monkey controls increasingly powerful beasts to pop bloons, and can merge with other Beast Handlers to increase the power of their Beasts. The Beast Handler is a Support-class tower that was introduced in update 36.0. Multiple Beast Handlers can have their own beasts, or combine efforts to train a single beast with greater beast power.
