== History ==
{{Incomplete|Not sure how if this section needs to exist or what needs to be in it}}
Starting in [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']], the [[Easy]] difficulty reduces the costs of towers and upgrades by a set percentage as compared to the base amount. This cost reduction is applied before all other discounts. Starting from [[Bloons TD 4|''Bloons TD 4'']], [[Medium]] has a 100% price, which strangely enough is 102% in ''Bloons Tower Defense 2'' and [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons TD 3'']].
 
Discount buffs were introduced in [[Bloons TD 5|''Bloons TD 5'']] with the [[Monkey Village (BTD5)|Monkey Village]], which reduces the cost of towers and upgrades purchased in its range by 10%. ''BTD5'' also introduced [[Specialty Buildings]] which discounts a specific type of tower by 5%, and increases the cost of a different tower by 5%.
 
== ''Bloons TD 6'' ==
{{Incomplete|Need to add Relics}}
[[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] introduced many more discount sources. Some of these apply a percentage change in cost, while others apply a flat decrease. Many discount sources only apply to certain towers or upgrades. Placement and upgrade costs, aside from purchasing [[Hero]] levels (which rounds to the nearest 1), are always rounded to a multiple of 5.
 
=== Discount percentage buffs ===
In ''BTD6,'' buffs to discount percentage stack additively with each other. For example, [[Monkey Business (BTD6)|Monkey Business]] and discount tiles on [[One Two Tree]] both increase discount by 10%. Therefore when a purchase is affected by both, its costs are reduced by 20%.
 
If a discount percentage is 100% or higher on a tower or upgrade, it may be obtained for free; [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] for Tier 1 upgrades of Primary Monkeys and [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]]'s free Dart Monkeys are examples of this. Unless otherwise stated, multiple towers granting identical discount percentage buffs do not stack.
 
[[Paragon]] upgrades and [[Geraldo's Shop]] items cannot be discounted by these buffs. Purchasing Hero levels cannot be discounted by these buffs, except for {{BTD6 mk|Scholarships}}. In ''[[Rogue Legends]]'', party members cannot have their placement cost discounted.

Discount buffs from different Sun Temples can stack if they are different amounts. For example, towers receive a 30% discount percentage if they are in range of a Sun Temple with $2,000 in Support sacrifices, and another Sun Temple with $50,000 in Support sacrifices.

Buff icon for Monkey Business in BTD6, representing discount

Discount is a game mechanic in the Bloons TD series, which by definition is the reduction in the cost of towers and/or upgrades. Certain discounts can be the full amount. Most sources of discounts require a tower to be within range to gain the benefit.

The new cost after discount depends on the game's rounding system.

Starting in Bloons Tower Defense 2, the Easy difficulty reduces the costs of towers and upgrades by a set percentage as compared to the base amount. This cost reduction is applied before all other discounts. Starting from Bloons TD 4, Medium has a 100% price, which strangely enough is 102% in Bloons Tower Defense 2 and Bloons TD 3.

Discount buffs were introduced in Bloons TD 5 with the Monkey Village, which reduces the cost of towers and upgrades purchased in its range by 10%. BTD5 also introduced Specialty Buildings which discounts a specific type of tower by 5%, and increases the cost of a different tower by 5%.

Bloons TD 6

Bloons TD 6 introduced many more discount sources. Some of these apply a percentage change in cost, while others apply a flat decrease. Many discount sources only apply to certain towers or upgrades. Placement and upgrade costs, aside from purchasing Hero levels (which rounds to the nearest 1), are always rounded to a multiple of 5.

Discount percentage buffs

[edit | edit source]

In BTD6, buffs to discount percentage stack additively with each other. For example, Monkey Business and discount tiles on One Two Tree both increase discount by 10%. Therefore when a purchase is affected by both, its costs are reduced by 20%.

If a discount percentage is 100% or higher on a tower or upgrade, it may be obtained for free; Primary Mentoring for Tier 1 upgrades of Primary Monkeys and Monkey City's free Dart Monkeys are examples of this. Unless otherwise stated, multiple towers granting identical discount percentage buffs do not stack.

Paragon upgrades and Geraldo's Shop items cannot be discounted by these buffs. Purchasing Hero levels cannot be discounted by these buffs, except for Scholarships Scholarships. In Rogue Legends, party members cannot have their placement cost discounted.
