'''''Bloons TD Battles 2''''' (officially abbreviated as '''''Battles 2''''' and often unofficially abbreviated as '''''BTDB2''''') is a free-to-play competitive multiplayer game in the {{series|Bloons TD}}. It is a sequel to ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'' that uses the general framework, [[tower]]s, [[upgrade]]s, [[Bloon]]s, and mechanics of ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', in the same way that ''Battles 1'' is heavily based on ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. It incorporates many mechanics that debuted in ''BTD6'', including [[Hero]]es, tier 5 [[upgrade]]s, and third upgrade paths.

An alternative version titled ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2+]]'' is available on [[wp:Apple Arcade|Apple Arcade]]. It is mostly the same game and supports cross-platform play, but removes all the in-app purchases and provides most features that are normally only obtainable through in-app purchases.

[[file:BTDB2 gameplay example.png|thumb|300px|In ''Bloons TD Battles 2'', two players fight against each other by sending bloons and defending against rushes, and must generate enough cash to gain an advantage]]
''Bloons TD Battles 2'' has very similar gameplay to ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', but with features and mechanics from ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Each match is played with two players who control opposite sides of a symmetrical map that is split vertically down the middle. Each player starts with 650 [[cash]], 250 [[income]], and 150 lives. Instead of earning cash by popping [[Bloon]]s, each player gains cash equivalent to their current income every 6 seconds. Each player can spend [[cash]] to place and [[upgrade]] [[tower]]s on their side of the map, primarily to defend against the waves of [[Bloon]]s that appear on their side's paths. Each player can also spend cash on [[Bloon send]]s to send additional Bloons to the opponent's side of the map, which also modifies the sender's income (usually increasing it).

{{main|Bloon send}}
Players can use Bloon sends during a match to send additional Bloons to the opponent's side. Most Bloon sends also increase the user's [[income]], providing additional cash over time, though [[MOAB-Class Bloon]] sends reduce income or have no effect on income instead. More types of Bloon sends become available as a match progresses, and older Bloon sends are removed to make room.

{{main|Arena}}
Arenas are a ranking system where players can play [[League Battle]]s each week to earn [[Trophy (Battles 2)|trophies]] and rank in their Arena League, which is a leaderboard of 20 players. Players can progress to the next Arena if they place high enough in their League when the week ends, or they can skip to the next Arena immediately by getting a 10-win streak. Players who place too low in the League will demote to the previous Arena at the end of the week, though players cannot return to [[Red Bloon Camp]] after leaving it. Upon reaching the [[Hall of Masters]], players can play League Battles to rank on the global Season Leaderboard, which resets at the end of each Season.
