BTD6 bloon reference
Bloon types are really checks your defense must pass
Normal layers ask for enough popping. Properties ask for detection or damage type. MOAB-class threats ask for health, speed, control, and cleanup.
Quick answer: how BTD6 bloon types work
BTD6 bloon types fall into three practical groups. Normal bloon layers ask whether your defense has enough popping power and cleanup. Special layers and properties ask for a specific rule, such as camo detection, lead-popping damage, purple-safe damage, regrow control, or fortified health. MOAB-class threats ask for a different kind of plan because they carry far more health and often need focused damage, slowing, or backline cleanup. When a bloon leaks, identify the check first: visibility, damage type, speed, health, or a combination such as camo lead or DDT.
Counter checks
Common bloon problems and what they test
| Problem | What it tests | Quick answer |
|---|---|---|
| Camo | Needs camo detection, Can combine with other properties | Add direct camo detection early, or remove camo with support before your main damage zone. |
| Lead | Immune to sharp-style damage, Often punishes all-sharp starts | Add one lead-popping source before Round 28, then make sure your later damage still covers lead. |
| Purple | Immune to energy, Immune to fire, Immune to plasma | Use sharp, explosive, bullet, or other non-purple-blocked damage before leaning on fire and plasma. |
| Camo Lead | Needs camo detection, Needs lead-popping damage | Use a direct camo-lead tower, or pair camo reveal with lead-popping damage before Round 59. |
| DDT | MOAB-class, Camo, Lead, Black, Very fast | Prepare camo detection, lead-capable damage, black-compatible damage, and enough MOAB control before Round 90. |
