Bloonarius has an immense amount of Health, and spawns [[Bloon|Bloons]] all over the track as it takes damage. It spawns especially large waves of Bloons right in front of it when a skull on its health bar is reached.
Bloonarius has a high amount of health and it spawns [[Bloon]]s across the track as it takes [[damage]]. It spawns especially large waves of Bloons right in front of it when a skull on its health bar is reached.

=== Scattered Bloons ===
=== Scattered Bloons ===
For each 1% of health Bloonarius loses, it spawns a certain type of Bloon all over the track depending on its type and tier. These Bloons can be identified by being covered by a dark green sludge. It scatters additional amounts of these Bloons when it reaches a skull.
Each time Bloonarius loses 1% of its health, it spawns a certain number of Bloons all over the track. The number and types of Bloons it spawns depends on Bloonarius's tier and whether it is in Normal or Elite mode. These Bloons are distinguished from normally spawning Bloons by being covered by a dark green sludge. These Bloons are briefly immune to damage upon spawning and provide no cash when popped, but they do still add to towers' damage counters.


=== Skull Bloons ===
=== Skull ability ===
When a skull is reached, Bloonarius stops moving for 0.5s and spawns a more difficult wave of Bloons directly in front of it.
Upon reaching a skull, Bloonarius stops moving for 0.5s, scatters a lot of Bloons across the map (using the same mechanic as its usual scattering), and additionally spawns a dense pack of Bloons directly in front of it. Like scattered Bloons, the number and types of Bloons it spawns depends on Bloonarius's tier and whether it is in Normal or Elite mode. These Bloons are also briefly immune to damage upon spawning and do not generate cash, but they do still add to towers' damage counters.


All Bloons spawned by Bloonarius provide no cash when popped. However, they do add to towers' pop counts.

Compared to other bosses, Bloonarius is the most simple in terms of its mechanics, but should not be underestimated, specially in the lower tiers, as the Bloons it spawns when damaged and after reaching a skull can easily overrun unprepared defenses.
 
Tier 1 and 2 defenses are usually split on towers that can reliably damage the boss and towers with very high pierce that can handle the spawns.
 
In the first category [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]] is always a reliable option on Tier 1. A combination of [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]] / [[Super Brittle (BTD6)|Super Brittle]]  with [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]] / [[The Tack Zone (BTD6)|The Tack Zone]] or [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplust]] / [[Avatar of Wrath (BTD6)|Avatar of Wrath]] shine due Bloonarius low speed, meaning it can stay on the range of those towers for longer. [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] / [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]] and [[Sticky Bomb (BTD6)|Sticky Bomb]] / [[Master Bomber (BTD6)|Master Bomber]] are only effective also on longer maps due Bloonarius high HP. [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]] can also be used with caution on its placement as the pierce on its rockets can be consumed by the spawns before it reaches the boss. Towers that are used for damaging the boss should have their targeting set to Strong if possible to avoid getting them distracted with the spawns or to First if their help is needed to deal with the spawns.
 
For defending the spawns in the lower tiers, specially after a skull, towers with very high pierce are needed, common examples are multiple [[M.O.A.R Glaives (BTD6)|M.O.A.R Glaives]] / [[Glaive Lord (BTD6)|Glaive Lord]], [[The Big One (BTD6)|The Big One]], [[Bloon Liquefier (BTD6)|Bloon Liquefier]] / [[The Bloon Solver (BTD6)|The Bloon Solver]], [[Jungle's Bounty (BTD6)|Jungle's Bounty]] / [[Spirit of the Forest (BTD6)|Spirit of the Forest]], the abilities of the [[Blade Maelstrom (BTD6)|Blade Maelstrom]] and [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo's]] [[Blade Trap]].
 
Tiers 3 and higher can be handled with expensive towers and [[Paragon|Paragons]], the defenses used for the boss itself are also usually enough to handle the spawns with the only limiting factor being range.
 
In [[Boss Rush]], Bloonarius can be handled using towers like [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]], [[MOAB SHREDR (BTD6)|MOAB SHREDR]], [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]], [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]] or [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplust]] during the early game with [[Glaive Ricochet (BTD6)|Glaive Ricochet]], [[Druid of the Jungle (BTD6)|Druid of the Jungle]] or [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]] handling the spawns. During the mid-game the defense transitions into the upgrades of the mentioned towers and finish with [[Super Mines (BTD6)|Super Mines]] and [[Apex Plasma Master]] or a [[Glaive Dominus]].
