Coal (ScrapTD)

Coal is the sixth barrel in ScrapTD and costs 100 bricks to unlock.

Strategical use
Coal is a somehow good barrel, but almost nobody uses it. It's Alive has got x2 health points, but does normal damage, also costs more and is an air barrel. Even on level 1, Blue Laser on level 11 would need two hits, it can be greatly used like Swiss, but for Danger Zone.

It can be used as a bridge from Lurid Layered to It's Alive.

Overall use
Coal is an underrated barrel which can be a meatshield if you're using Danger Zone to rush your foes and get some good HP worth of damage down.

It does somehow provide okay scrap production if you're spamming it before It's Alive or Danger Zone gets useful with the scrap prod, but it does quickly fall off once the better Barrels can be sent out.

It's not bad upgrading it with bricks, but it's just not terrible or dog litter by any means.

Trivia

 * This barrel looks very rocky and tanky simultaneously.
