How to Properly Use Corvus in BTD6

Corvus, the Spirit Walker, is the newest hero in BTD6 and this video shows you how to use him most effectively. We go through when to place him, what to do in each part of the game, what his abilities do, and some good spell combos. This should make you better at using Corvus and he should be more fun to play with!
I love teaching people things in Bloons TD 6! You'll see BTD6 quick tips, farming tutorials, crosspath comparisons, hero breakdowns, strategies, Easter Eggs, XP Grinds, Regrow Farm tutorials, the best things in Bloons, and much more!

first hero i bought is Corvus cause why wouldn't i want a hero that makes me actually focus on the game

Important tip to make playing him much easier Instead of clicking on corvus, just press u or your respectove hero button. This is extra helpful if you need to see something the menu might obscure - just click on a monkey that will put the upgrade menu on the other side and then press u to access the spellbook.

True! I need to get better at doing that for him and Geraldo

Let's be honest, just spam the spells and you'll be fine 😆

[@_Abgehoben]

What i think is the most insane part is, that his combos can do the most damage of all Heros and also hes the only way to gain HP (and that really fast) I used his HP regen spell and got 1000 HP after 3 uses. Also extremly useful for Bossevents, because they steal life and you need much HP to survive

[@Appledirt]

I've only recently started using him. He's surprisingly fun, especially in co-op. It's fairly easy to convince people to let me start with him, and using Replenishment to continuously make him stronger turns him into basically a "get out of jail free" card for tough rounds like 63 I know he's intimidating, but give him a shot! He's very fun

[@nmmmmkknbbnnn]

Corvus is my favorite hero but i have no idea how to use him. Really helpful vid

[@Timeless56_No.256_a]

Fr this waa the type of hero i was waiting for A micro heavy hero that can do much more if you play your cards right (such as soloing chimps)

[@halt1931]

You can end the recovery phase a little bit before nourishment is off cooldown, because recovery costs mana to cast as well so you can let him attack a little bit during the last part of the cooldown to regain the mana used to cast the spell

[@youseef6969]

I liked the cult of the lamb soundtrack in the back

[@KubIsNotShort]

Corvus is actually way stronger when playing with friends because you can focus more on him

[@m1ximus749]

Always a good day when hbomb uploads

[@mrhurricanescrambles7157]

So now that Recovery can no longer be used on nourishment what do we use it for? Are there other spells that benefit from it or should we just not bother?

[@JRon1]

Controversial opinion but hear me out... Corvus is fun, he is my favorite hero. Yes, I said it.

[@Zai_szn8]

nah u actually a psycho

[@Helperishere]

Honestly barely requires any sort of micro and in multiplayer you can focus 100% on him and give all the money to your ally

[@dashingclasher]

so real, micro is a small price to pay for saveup

[@Yaro2]

He’s so fun, also lets you save up for other towers in the meantime.

[@JRon1]

I can't tell if these replies are joking or not.

[@guitarlover42]

my biggest issue is the nourishment spam, i shouldn't have to press it like 100 times, just give an option like convert mana into xp as a toggel like the top abilities.

[@early_uproar]

ninja kiwi wants me to decipher the enigma code fr fr

[@The_Mashup_Guy]

Let's see how many combos people can come up with Corvus 🤣🤣🤣

[@KnownAsKenji]

Knockback effects (Distraction Ninja, Wind Druid, etc) can be nice to shove more bloons back into Corvus' range, similar strat that Rubber to Gold Alchemist can use.

[@halo8913]

This would be great if I had him 😭 5k more to go

[@Hbomb]

Haha, you got this

[@vinesthemonkey]

just play a bunch of beginner and intermediate maps on hard and do the advanced challenges

[@_-KR-_]

funfact: Setting Corvus to strong early maximizes mana gain in most cases. It all depends on clean-up. I think his third constant drain ability (the aoe dmg) is underrated, especially if your runs are less sweaty. You can still pop nourish and even recover with using his third hero ability to cover the intirrum. I really enjoy playing DoT heavy playstyles so it is a natural fit that also offers the flexibility of popping out of aoe-form into target annihilation form! I love how well Corvus can trivialize round 40 and 60. for 40 agression split should be enough woth spear to clean up. for 60 agression split blades should be enough, but on shorter tracks spear may also be required once the first layer pops. Double angry hands is a fun albeit more challenging combo to perform.

[@Hbomb]

I need to try out malevolence more. It was underwhelming compared to his other spells (understandably so as they're super strong), but I wouldn't mind pairing him with a Reactor. That'd be some fun, constant damage

[@_-KR-_]

@@Hbomb Attack speed and pierce simply do nothing for the aura while damage might but Im not entirely certain, I think its not entirely important to get Homeland or Sun God buff on corvus is what I mean, afterall his uber-late potential is dubious at best anyway. (Bosses u could go either way rlly) Permabrew and Ultraboost are likily not necessary as they really only work well for the Big Slappy Hands. My testing under superbuff showed the Ancestral Might gains the most overall for any buff, but the Blades are also quite good when buffed. The thing most people overlook is the Unstable Concoction-like effect that comes with Corvus's standard Haunt attack, this has a knock on effect of being a force-multiplier in the blimp-heavy rounds when paired with a x-3-x Alch. The setup that I find works best is when corvus is paired with slows, stalls, and damage-amplification (full debuff), as well as reactor sub + ring of fire to improve overall tick-rate of overal DoT. One can flex around glue paths, but middle path offers the greatest potential overall, due to its 100% uptime capability and the strength of it's debuff. Mortars also provide a lot of flexibility as all three paths can synergize greatly. Top path Wizard is absurdly strong when used to patch over Corvus's general weakness towards blimps. And we cannot forget to throw an Embrittlement in either, as it should go without saying that the ice shards effect will scale exponentially with the specific buffs given to corvus. My final piece of input is that I would really appreciate a PSA made from one or more of the top Bloons content creators that it will hold Corvus back from showing his true potential when using global targetted attacks that kill bloons at the entrance before being able to get haunted. Jungle Druids, Snipers, Neva-Miss/Spec, Heli's set to pursuit, and any aimed retical based attack set to the very front of the track are notable examples of how not to do corvus. It is in the same vein as utilizing 4x 0-2-4 Alchs + 0-2-5 Engie where you wouldnt want to prevent the bloons from being popped before they are made worth more money by those two towers. Coincidentally Alch Trap farming works very well with Corvus so long as you dont allow corvus to pop leads. Thanks for reading!

How to effectively use Corvus You don’t

I haven't, outside of his tutorial mission. Of course, I also haven't unlocked him yet, but I don't see that changing even then

[@gianfrancoortizvera6161]

@@RinJackson funnily enough, I unlocked Corvus last week thanks to the MrBeast event and his spells are a lot of fun, and if you use his spells decently you can save a lot of money, for example, I’ve beaten a map with only Corvus, the free dart monkey, 4-2-0 buccaneer and a 0-2-0 monkey village, or other time when I beat a map with only Corvus, a super juggernaut, 4-2-0 monkey village and an energizer

[@MiniKnight318]

Sooo anyone else here manage to master corvus without any tutorial?

[@pie5362]

For me kinda, Im not too good at BTD6 but it was kind of love at first sight with corvus for me and the ability to have more control over the tower, I just started playing recently about a month ago and he was the first thing I spent monkey money on. The trick is to use echo and overload to beat almost anything, and for longer rushes like 95 use ancestral might and storm as ancestral might can take care of MOABS and storm keeps lessers in check after, and if things are too overwhelming pop his ritual, thats what I learned on my own and was about the same as in the video.

it's balanced out because you have to put alot of effort into actually putting it into good use unlike other heroes which have their niches in support or damage.
