T.E.S.L.A.

"The Bloons strapped a giant metal sphere on the front of this blimp and have created an electrical nightmare! Make sure you're not carrying any metal on you!"

The T.E.S.L.A. (Terrible Electrically-Surged Laser Auxiliary) is a strong, but very rare offensive blimp that can begin appearing after Round 110. Although by the time it appears it could be considered frail, letting a T.E.S.L.A. live for more than a few seconds is not recommended due to the huge Tesla coil built onto the front of the blimp, which can electrocute and badly damage almost any tower. On destruction, the Tesla coil is salvaged from the wreck and can be then used by the player as a Special Agent.

 * 0.5% chance to appear on a wave after 110. This chance increases by 0.05% every two waves after.

Abilities
The T.E.S.L.A. has multiple abilities that let it put the hurt on a player's entire arsenal, as well as some minor defensive abilities.

Lightning Strike - The T.E.S.L.A. stops entirely and turns towards a tower, firing a giant lightning bolt into it after a second of charging. The tower is damaged for fifteen hit points and is stunned for three seconds.

Ball Lightning - The T.E.S.L.A. drops a glowing orb of electricity behind it, which charges regular Bloons that move over them, giving them a shield with three units of Absolute Defense and a fifty percent increase to their speed.

Lightning Storm - Stopping for three seconds to charge its Tesla coil, the T.E.S.L.A. hits a tower with a bolt similar to the Lightning Strike ability but with a chaining aspect - towers within 50 pixels of the targeted tower and towers hit by the chain will all be damaged. The damage starts at twenty hit points and is halved per chain jump.

Electric Shield - The T.E.S.L.A. creates a shield for itself with 1,750 hit points. It cannot use any of its other abilities until three seconds after the shield has been destroyed.
