As there is no overarching MOAB class in ''Bloons Pop!'', Boss Bloons do not share a weakness to "[[Damage#MOAB damage|MOAB damage]]" with the [[MOAB (Bloons Pop!)|MOAB]]. They take increased or reduced damage from certain [[Monkey (Bloons Pop!)|Monkey]]s and [[Powerup (Bloons Pop!)|Powerup]]s, and take extra damage when the [[Party Bonus#Like a Boss|Like a Boss]] [[Party Bonus]] is applied, but they do not take extra damage from the [[Party Bonus#MOAB Specialist|MOAB Specialist]] Party Bonus.

===''Bloons Card Storm''===
Boss Bloons function similarly to AI-controlled [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]]es, having a [[Bloontonium]] meter and three abilities, except they can also be targeted and attacked by [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s in the same way as regular [[Bloon]]s.<ref name="bcs-dev-diary">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1knlj5h/dev_diary_may_16th_2025/|title=BCS Dev Diary - May 14th 2025|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=22 may 2025}}</ref> They are not treated as Large Bloons, and cannot take status effects such as On Fire.
===''Bloons Blitz''===
Each level has two Boss Bloon fights (except the first level, which only has one). The boss traps the player in a small arena and the player must destroy it to progress. They have multiple health bars (represented by the number of skulls) and attack patterns that involve moving around and summoning Bloons. The second boss of a level is always different from the first, and is a harder version with more health bars and stronger Bloon spawns.

====Boss Challenge====
====Boss Challenge====
{{main|Boss Challenge}}A similar mode to the Boss Bloon Event, but unlike it, this is always available to the players. In this game mode, the Boss, difficulty (Normal/Elite), and the Map can be freely chosen and all Heroes and Towers can be used and no challenge modifiers are applied (game mode is always set to [[Medium]]). By enabling Batlle Mode (which has the same ruleset as the Ranked Mode in Events) the player can also enable one of the tree score types and the game will keep track of the best score or a combination of score type, boss and map.

{{main|Boss Rush}}
{{main|Boss Rush}}
This is a [[Team]] event which alternates with Contested Territory. In this mode players will face 5 Boss Bloons, each one on a specific map in the span of a few days. Each boss will be given a health bar and the team must deplete it to earn prizes for the Team and its members before proceeding to the next Boss. To damage the Boss, players will fight it in a similar way to the [[Phayze One]] Quest. The boss will enter to the screen immediately after starting and the players must do as much damage to it as possible. The boss starts with very low health (comparable to a [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]) and every time it reaches zero the player will also be granted a point (commonly known as a ''pop'' by the community), also Boss will restore all its health and increase it by a percentage of its current maximum. The game has no round limit and ends when all lives are lost or if the boss reaches the exit of the map, then the health bar of the boss will be reduced by the amount of pops that the player achieved during the game.

{{main|Boss Battle (BCS)}}
Boss Battles are events in which the player attempts to deal as much damage to the Boss Bloon as possible. The player's best score on each day counts towards a leaderboard, which grants rewards at the end of the event depending on the player's placement, and a global progression track, which grants rewards depending on the total score of all players. Some events have banned [[card]]s.<ref name="bcs-dev-diary"/>
