===Primary===
===Primary===
{{main|Primary}}
{{main|Primary}}Primary towers are basic but cheap and practical, usually originating from the first ''Bloons Tower Defense''. This category includes the [[Dart Monkey]], [[Boomerang Monkey]], [[Bomb Shooter]], [[Tack Shooter]], [[Ice Monkey]], [[Glue Gunner]], and [[Desperado]].

===Military===

{{main|Military}}
{{empty}}
Military towers all have a way to gain infinite range and pop all bloon types. This category includes the [[Sniper Monkey]], [[Monkey Sub]], [[Monkey Buccaneer]], [[Monkey Ace]], [[Heli Pilot]], [[Mortar Monkey]], and [[Dartling Gunner]].


===Magic===
===Magic===
{{main|Magic}}
{{main|Magic}}Magic towers are somewhat eclectic in purpose, but usually provide buffs to other towers while maintaining good damage numbers. This category includes the [[Wizard Monkey]], [[Super Monkey]], [[Ninja Monkey]], [[Alchemist]], [[Druid]], [[Mermonkey]], and [[Skywarden]].
{{empty}}


===Support===
===Support===
{{main|Support}}
{{main|Support}}
{{empty}}
Support towers are towers not usually used for main defense, but to support setups. This category includes the [[Banana Farm]], [[Monkey Village]], [[Spike Factory]], [[Engineer Monkey|Engineer]] and [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]].


===Heroes===
===Heroes===
{{main|Hero}}
{{main|Hero}}
{{empty}}
Heroes are towers that automatically level up by themselves. All heroes, with the exception of [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]], have an [[Activated Ability]] at level 3 and another at level 10, while some heroes, like [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]], have an additional ability at level 7. All heroes have a maximum level of 20, and can be leveled up manually by spending [[cash]], although this is highly cost inefficient. Only one hero can be placed per player.
