While [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] and [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]] usually only take less damage, reduced debuff effects, or simply can't be targeted by certain towers, the [[DDT]] and [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] have specified damage immunities.

''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' has two [[Hero|Heroes]] that can decrease a Bloon type's resistance to a given form of damage starting at a certain level without removing the immunity completely until a later level, implemented as a 50% and later 100% chance to pop the Bloon in question with an incompatible attack. [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] allows every explosive tower to have a 50% chance to pop [[Black Bloon|Black Bloons]] starting from level 5 that increases to 100% at level 19, and [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]] allows every freezing tower to have a 50% chance of freezing [[White Bloon|White Bloons]] starting from level 5 that increases to 100% at level 13.

Bloon immunity mechanics do not appear in [[Bloons Card Storm|''Bloons Card Storm'']] despite featuring Bloons that usually sport immunities. This was intentional on the developers' part, as they found the immunity mechanic unfair when the gameplay involves a limited amount of monkeys on the playing field.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1c7iody/bloons_card_storm_developer_diary_april_2024/|title=Bloons Card Storm Developer Diary - April 2024|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=25 jul 2025}}</ref>
