'''[[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]]''' starts on Round 31 and ends on Round 60, thus limiting hero leveling and featuring more challenging rounds than in [[Easy]] Standard. It disables income generation, so the full setup can be obtained at the start. The lack of income also makes towers such as [[Merchantman (BTD6)|Merchantman]], [[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]], and [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] obsolete.

|With [[More Cash]], [[Come On Everybody!]], and [[Bonus Monkey!]], a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master can be afforded. It is a simple tower that solos Deflation on the majority of, but not all, maps.
|With [[More Cash]], [[Come On Everybody!]], and [[Bonus Monkey!]], a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master can be afforded, while 5-2-0 Blazing Sun only needs the former two MK. Both of these towers have enough power to solo up to round 60 and are able to damage any Bloon type, resulting in fast clears on most maps where they have range. Blazing Sun is more recommended in general due to its reduced dependency on straight lines, though Crossbow Master is favored on maps where range is needed to reach all lanes, such as on [[Tricky Tracks]].

|Destroyer, with the 3-2-0 crosspath, given a 3-2-0 Berserker Brew, and given Camo detection, does immense damage to all Bloons and blimps. Aircraft Carrier improves Destroyer's power further and does damage throughout the map. If using them, [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]] is the hero of choice due to her Naval Tactics ability.

|Both Triple Guns and Armor Piercing Darts can obtain nearly map-wide coverage and Camo detection from 0-2-0 [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]s with the 2-0-3+ crosspath, and Berserker Brew maximizes their potential. As with Destroyer and Aircraft Carrier, [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]] is the best hero for Triple Guns and Armor Piercing Darts.

|Provided the weaknesses of Camo and Purple Bloons are worked around, the 2-3-0 Robo Monkey can carry a Deflation defense on maps without line of sight blockers. This can be done with most decamo options such as a [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]] or [[Bloontonium Reactor (BTD6)|Bloontonium Reactor]].
