Support

Support icon in Battles 2

Support is a tower category in Bloons TD 6 and Bloons TD Battles 2 and a Monkey card class in Bloons Card Storm. During a game, support towers are distinguished by an orange background. As the name implies, this category is comprised of monkeys that have a more support-focused role. Uniquely, a few support towers do not attack at all. In BTD6, Support towers are unlocked at levels 22-24 and 26, except for the Beast Handler which is instead obtained by popping a certain number of Bloon layers. In Battles 2, Support towers cost  1,000 to purchase. In BCS, Support Monkeys require their unique token type () when crafting cards.

Characteristics

Support towers are mainly used for extra defense, money generation, and buffs. Some of towers here have unique attacks, such as Spike Factory laying down spikes on the path, the Engineer shooting from a nailgun and being able to spawn in sentries, foam, and bloon traps, and the Beast Handler being able to spawn in "Beasts" from the water, the air, and land. The Monkey Village also provides buffs, whilst the Banana Farm makes money to help out the team.
