'''Units''', sometimes called '''range units''' or '''distance units''', are a unit of distance in the [[Bloons (franchise)|''Bloons franchise'']]. ~~It is~~ often used to express the [[range]] and size of towers, attacks, projectiles, and effects. Speeds of projectiles and other objects are often expressed in '''units per second'''.

'''Units''', sometimes called '''range units''' or '''distance units''', are a unit of distance in the [[Bloons (franchise)|''Bloons franchise'']]. They are often used to express the [[range]] and size of towers, attacks, projectiles, and effects. Speeds of projectiles and other objects are often expressed in '''units per second'''.

Unless otherwise specified, numbers describing a length or a distance should be assumed to be in units. The size of circular objects such as most tower's ranges, many projectiles, and the area-of-effect of explosive attacks are often expressed by their radius in units.

In official communications such as update notes, [[Ninja Kiwi]] often describes distances using just numbers, without any units. For example, Ninja Kiwi has described certain balance changes to [[Spike-o-pult (BTD6)|Spike-o-pult]] and [[Downdraft (BTD6)|Downdraft]] in [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] as follows<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1byn7oh/update_bloons_td_6_v420_update_notes/ https://reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1byn7oh/update_bloons_td_6_v420_update_notes/]</ref><ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/wfnm5s/bloons_td_6_update_notes_version_320/ https://reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/wfnm5s/bloons_td_6_update_notes_version_320/]</ref>:

The term "~~units~~" is ~~often~~ used by the ~~community in lieu~~ of ~~an official term~~.

The term "unit" is used to give a generic name to the missing unit of distance.
