Draftodil

**Draftodil** is a attacking plant that is available for Plants vs. Bloons.

## **Tower Info**

**Draftodil** uses her air cannon to blow bloons back to the start by dealing damage to them whilst stalling them for time. It may be a good utility for atrociously scary Bloons, but her Ability can stall every Bloon by shooting superblasts to stall even blimps!

## **Upgrades**

***Left path upgrades***:

**Effect:** Increases attack range and projectile distance by 25. Also increases projectile speed by 75 points.

**Tier:** 1

**Tier:** 2

**Effect:** Increases Draftodil's air blasts' pierce to four from two, increases damage from air blasts to three from one and can blow MOABs back when they got hit by Draftodil's attack.

**Tier:** 3

**Effect:** Draftodil's air cannon attack now has ten pierce for every air blast she fires from having four pierce, now does five layers worth of bloon damage and does quadruple extra damage to MOAB class bloons which is twenty per air blast. Air blasts can also affect BFBs and DDTs by sending them back to the start whilst stunning ZOMGs for 0.15 seconds per initial hit.

**Tier:** 4

***Right path upgrades***:

**Effect:** Shoots air blasts 0.25 seconds quicker.

**Tier:** 1

**Tier:** 2

**Tier:** 3

**Effect:** Unlocks the Air Blower ability for Draftodil. When activated, it'll make Draftodil shoot out ten superblasts that does ten damage to child bloons and does fifty to MOAB class, instantly blowing bloons up to a BFB back to the start when struck and ZOMGs will be stunned for 0.15 seconds when they get hit by superblasts. Draftodil will also send a gust of wind for up to two seconds that slows everything by 50% for ten seconds, MOABs will be slowed for half the duration. Also instantly triggers all Dandelions by blowing their seeds off the moment you use Draftodil's ability. Draftodil's Ability has a recharge cooldown of 35 seconds after use.

**Tier:** 4

## **Strategy**

### **Summary**

Draftodil plays as a stalling plant which can stall up to a Ceramic Bloon with her basic attack, and her air blasts can also pop Lead Bloons at base which makes up for the stalling. She has many powerful upgrades such as the ability to blow MOABs back to the start seems ludicrously powerful for a plant to do that. And she can benefit from other plants that can deal good damage to Bloons such as Repeater and Spikeweed etc.

### **Tips**

* **Draftodil** is a very powerful plant during the midgame rounds due to her upgrades having the most powerful blowback effect on nearly all Bloons. She isn't worth getting during the early game due to her price, but she can be good against Bloons that are sneaking past your defence because her air cannon can blow them back where they are.
* However, **Draftodil** has nearly no weaknesses, beside Bloon rushes and Regen Bloons which are the most dangerous for her to face up against. Plants can deal with Regen Bloons such as Spikeweed, Gatling Pea and Melon-pult who has good upgrades and utility to take them down. Draftodil struggles against grouped Bloons, so getting some backup with your plant army should counteract her weaknesses.

## **Version History**

Draftodil has been latterly released in PvB, so there's not much we can say about until the mod is updated.

V3.0
* Draftodil was added to the game.

V3.5

* Cost of Heinous Air increased ($2,600 → $2,700).
* Cost of Powerful Air Blasts increased ($2,400 → $2,500).
* Cost of Air Sign: Heavy Wind increased ($14,000 → $14,500).
* Air Sign: Heavy Wind ZOMG stun duration decreased from 0.25s → 0.15s.
* Air Blower no longer blows ZOMGs back per projectile hit, now stuns for 0.15 seconds (still counts as a nerf).
