Changes between updates

[edit | edit source]
  • Prior to version 25.0 of BTD6, the Cold and Glacier types worked differently:
    • Cold could not pop frozen by default, while Glacier could.
    • Both types could pop Lead by default, but the Ice Monkey's attack had a special property that caused it to ignore Lead Bloons unless buffed.
  • The Frigid type was introduced in version 45.0, while its name was first revealed in version 48.0 update notes.
  • Plasma and Fire were originally functionally identical and treated as the same damage type by the game's data. In version 52.0, they were separated to allow for different interactions with Glass Bloons (Fire can pop them but Plasma does not) and Dynamite Bloons (Take +1 damage from Fire, Plasma works as normal).
    • Prior to version 52.0, Plasma and Energy had a bitstring value of 8 and 9, now it's 72 and 73. Fire has a bitstring value of 8, just like old Plasma.
  • Normal and Acid were also originally functionally identical and treated as the same damage type by the game's data. In version 53.0, they were separated to allow for different interactions with Glass Bloons (Normal can pop them but Acid does not).
