'''Cleansing Foam''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It grants the Engineer Monkey~~ an additional foam attack ~~which targets somewhere~~ within the Engineer Monkey's range, ~~and~~ continuously ~~sprays~~ its target with foam~~. The foam attack's speed is quadrupled for 1s at the start of every round~~. Bloons ~~which~~ touch the foam will lose their [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] and [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] properties, if they have it. Additionally, [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] (not [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]]) will lose their outer layers instantly upon touching the foam, even if [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|~~fortified~~]].

~~{{Research|Foam and sentry deploy rate have increased speed at the start of the round. Does this also apply to the nail gun?}}~~

The Engineer Monkey's foam attack has a cooldown of 2 seconds, which is reduced to 1 second with the [[Faster Engineering (BTD6)|Faster Engineering]] upgrade. Each foam has a pierce of 10, which is increased to 15 by the [[Oversize Nails (BTD6)|Oversize Nails]] upgrade. {{BTD6 mk|Thicker Foams}} increases foam pierce by 3. With the [[Pin (BTD6)|Pin]] upgrade, foam slows down non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] that touch it by 0.5× for 1 second. Foam has a lifespan of 8.5 seconds. Foam can be targeted anywhere within the Engineer Monkey's range, including over obstacles and off the track.

The Engineer Monkey's foam attack has a cooldown of 2s, which is reduced to 1~~.2s~~ with the [[Faster Engineering (BTD6)|Faster Engineering]] upgrade. Each foam has a pierce of 10, which is increased to 15 by the [[Oversize Nails (BTD6)|Oversize Nails]] upgrade. {{BTD6 mk|Thicker Foams}} increases foam pierce by 3.

Foam can be targeted anywhere within the Engineer Monkey's range, including over obstacles and off the track.

Foam deals no damage to Bloons ~~except~~ [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]]. When a Lead Bloon touches foam, its outer layer will pop instantly even if is ~~fortified~~ (this does not apply to [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]]). Foam removes the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] and [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] properties of any Bloon it hits, including ~~[[DDT (BTD6)|~~DDTs]]. Each Bloon that touches it uses up one of the foam's pierce, even if the foam did not affect it in any way.

Foam deals no damage to Bloons, other than [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]]. When a Lead Bloon touches foam, its outer layer will pop instantly even if it is [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] (this does not apply to [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]]). Foam removes the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] and [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] properties of any Bloon it hits, including DDTs. Each Bloon that touches it uses up one of the foam's pierce, even if the foam did not affect it in any way.

All attacks have their [[~~Attack~~ speed]] increased by 4x for 1 second at the start of every round.

All attacks have their [[attack speed]] increased by 4× for 1 second at the start of every round. This is considered a buff and can be stolen by [[Lych]].

If an Engineer Monkey has both the Cleansing Foam and [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry Gun]] upgrades, the deployed ~~sentries~~ remove Camo and Regrow properties as well as instantly pop Lead layers. However, the ~~sentries~~ need external buffs to target Camo Bloons. These ~~sentries~~ remove the Camo property from [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] if given ~~camo~~ detection, even if they cannot damage them due to the Lead property.

If an Engineer Monkey has both the Cleansing Foam and [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry Gun]] upgrades, the deployed Sentries remove Camo and Regrow properties as well as instantly pop Lead layers, but not necessarily damage Lead properties. However, the Sentries need external buffs to target Camo Bloons. These Sentries remove the Camo property from [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] if given [[Camo detection]], even if they cannot damage them due to the Lead property.

~~== Strategy ==~~

Cleansing Foam is a viable option for dealing with Camo Bloons in the early to mid game, however it lacks the pierce to be reliable against some rounds with dense Camo Bloons such as round 78. It also has a niche in removing Camo from [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] in the late game by targeting it slightly off the track so it doesn't waste pierce on other targets.

The choice of crosspath is situational. If foam is only used to help with early Camo detection, it does not need a crosspath at all. If some additional damage, attack speed, and reliable Regrow removal is desired, it should take the top crosspath, shooting foam quicker and producing sentries. On the other hand if additional pierce and slowdown is preferable, it should take the bottom crosspath.

~~The increased attack speed at the start of rounds helps it get some foam down before the Bloons arrive, but this counts as a buff and can be absorbed by [[Lych]]~~.

Cleansing Foam is a viable option for dealing with Camo Bloons in the early to mid game, however it lacks the pierce to be reliable against some rounds with dense Camo Bloons such as round 78. The ability to handle lead, camo, and regrow makes it cheap, flexible option in early-game [[Alternate Bloons Rounds|ABR]]. It also has a niche in removing Camo from [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] in the late game by targeting it slightly off the track so it doesn't waste pierce on other targets. The increased attack speed at the start of rounds helps produce enough foam before the Bloons arrive. Although [[Lych]] will steal the start-of-round speed buff to gain back Regrow, Cleansing Foam is consistent enough to maintain almost full uptime against Lych's Regrow properties.

Crosspaths are optional. 2-3-0 is more reliable Regrow removal, offering sentries that strip more Bloons and a faster dispersal of foam per second, and the start-of-round speed boost improves sentry production particularly in [[Boss Rush]]. Bottom crosspaths are preferred late-game to slow Super Ceramics and deal with denser Bloons.
