Match Up Animation

Match Up Animation
Hero Reward cost 150 12,000 Daily Offer cost 750

Match Up Animations (also parsed Matchup Animations) are a type of tower customization cosmetic item in Bloons TD Battles 2. They are exclusive to Heroes and play on the "VS" screen between the battle lobby and the match starting. If the player is on the right side, the animation is mirrored, which results in oddities such as Star Captain Jericho's cybernetic arm being on the opposite side.
