→Resistance: okay, I am not sure, diamonds and btd6 goldens have a damage cap instead of damage resistance, so how do we sort that?

'''Damage''' is the process by which a [[Bloon]], or in the case of the {{iOS version of|Hot Air Bloon}}, certain bosses and the player, loses [[Bloon health|health]] and/or [[Bloon layer|layers]] in the {{series|Bloons TD}}, {{series|Bloons Supermonkey}}, the iOS version of ''Hot Air Bloon'', and ''[[Bloons Pop!]]''. Damage is primarily dealt by [[projectile]]s or [[status effect]]s.

Damage is often described in descriptive text as the amount of "layers popped", which, while not incorrect for most Bloon types, is inaccurate for Bloons with multiple points of health.

==Layer skipping==
==Layer skipping==
Layer skipping is when a tower deals more than 1 damage and skips layers. For example, if an unupgraded sniper pops a [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebra Bloon]], since it does more than 1 damage (2), the [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|black]]/[[White Bloon (BTD6)|white]] layers are skipped and only 4 [[Pink Bloon (BTD6)|Pink Bloons]] are left remaining. Layer skipping doesn't account for immunities (except in mobile games of the [[Bloons TD 5 Generation]]), so it can allow towers to pop Bloons with layers that would normally be immune to them. For example, when a [[Heavy Bombs (BTD6)|Heavy Bombs]] [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|bomb shooter]] pops a [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]], it deals 2 damage and can skip the black bloon layer it would normally be unable to damage.

Damage types are a property of damage that determines which Bloons the damage can or cannot be dealt to. This concept was introduced in the {{mobile version of|Bloons TD 5}} and only appears in the {{series|Bloons TD}} and ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'', although similar mechanics exist in prior games.

==Resistance==
{{For|the [[Hype Boost Monkey]] upgrade|Resistance}}{{incomplete|section=y|Expand upon "damage resistance"}}
{{research|Is damage capped bloons like BTD6 Golden Bloon and Diamond Bloons count as "damage resistance" or another type of game mechanic?}}
A Bloon with damage resistance will take less damage than normal. If an attack deals less than or equal to a Bloon's damage resistance, the Bloon takes no damage. For instance, Tier 2−5 [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] in ''BTD6'' takes 1 less damage from all attacks.
