Galvanic Conduit

Galvanic Conduit adds +3 damage against MOAB-class, Ceramic and Lead Bloons (not stacking if a Bloon has several of these), and unlocks the Lightning Combo. Galvanic Skywardens put a yellow mark on one Bloon at a time for 3 seconds, and hitting it again advances the combo:

• A marked Bloon pulls in nearby Energy and Plasma projectiles from any tower within 30 units.
• From the second hit, any Sharp or Shatter hit on that Bloon, from any tower, creates chain lightning: 4 pierce, splits once, 3 damage and +4 to frozen Bloons. The pops count for the tower that triggered it.
• From the fourth hit, each arrow deals +10 damage and stuns the target for 3 seconds (1 second for MOABs and DDTs, 0.5 seconds for BFBs). It cannot stun ZOMGs and cannot refresh its own stun.

When to buy it

• It provides early MOAB stuns, which is rare for a tier 3.
• It gets much stronger with several Galvanic Conduits and with projectile spam from other towers, since every Sharp or Shatter hit on a marked Bloon makes lightning. Fast Sharp towers such as Destroyer Buccaneers or Tack Shooters are good partners.
• Supports that break up groups, such as Embrittlement or Glue Strike, help the combo stay active.

A single Galvanic Conduit struggles to keep the combo on many Bloons at once.

Is it worth it?

Yes in projectile-heavy defenses. Alone, its value is limited.
