Glider Pilot

The Glider Pilot is a tower in Thermoxin's Bloons Tower Defense 7. It functions similarly to a dart monkey, except it flies. Its base is a trampoline. After 15 seconds, it has to bounce off of the trampoline in order to go airborne again. While landing, it can't throw darts. It costs $400 on Medium.

Upgrades
1/x/x - [Faster Throwing] Shoots 15% faster. ($200)

2/x/x - [Faster Reflexes] Shoots 33% faster! ($380)

3/x/x - [Triple Darts] Throws 3 darts at a time instead of 1. How can it keep its concentration?! ($800)

4/x/x - [Rocket-Powered Glider] The glider is now powered by rockets, reducing landing time to every 30 seconds. The pilot now flies faster and throws four darts at a time. ($16,000)

5/x/x - [Jetpack] How did nobody think of this before?! Using an experimental jetpack, the pilot doesn't have to land anymore, and therefore can focus on attacking. The pilot is now able to throw five darts at a time, at twice the previous speed. ($30,000)

x/1/x - [Sharp Darts] Can pop 1 extra Bloon per shot. ($280)

x/2/x - [Razor Sharp Darts] Can pop 2 more Bloons per shot. ($440)

x/3/x - [Spiked Bombs] Drops spiked bombs across the track instead of throwing darts. ($600)

x/4/x - [Juggerbomb] Ability: Deploys a large spiked bomb that does three layers of damage. ($3,600)

x/5/x - [Ultra Juggerbomb] The pilot now drops the large spiked bombs instead of the smaller variety. Ability now deploys an even bigger spiked bomb that does five layers of damage, and splits into eight of the medium-sized bombs. ($30,000)

x/x/1 - [Better Throwing Arm] Makes the Glider Pilot shoot further than normal. ($180)

x/x/2 - [Better Eyesight] Shoots even further and can detect Camo Bloons. ($400)

x/x/3 - [Flying Crossbow] Uses a long range Crossbow that can pop 3 layers of Bloon for every hit. ($1,250)

x/x/4 - [Somehow Still Accurate] Even better accuracy lets the Glider Pilot do powerful Crit Shots every few seconds that do a lot more damage. ($4,000)

x/x/5 - [Crazy Crossbow] Crossbow bolts can now pop lead, have extra pierce, and the pilot fires them more frequently. The pilot also has more range. How it manages to stay flying is a mystery. ($54,000)

Trivia

 * The name of the x/4/x was named after one of my old conceptions for a 5th tier Dart Monkey.
