The '''Fortified Bloon''' is a type of [[Bloon Mod]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. Bloons with this property have metal bands wrapped around them, taking more damage to destroy. This property can be applied to [[Lead Bloon (Battles 2)|Lead Bloons]], [[Ceramic Bloon (Battles 2)|Ceramic Bloons]] and [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s. Fortified Bloons require more damage to pop than their non-fortified counterparts: Fortified Leads take 4 damage to pop, while fortified ~~Ceramic~~ and MOAB-class bloons take twice as much damage to pop as their non-fortified counterparts.

Fortified Bloons require more damage to pop than their non-fortified counterparts: Fortified Leads take 6 damage to pop, while fortified Ceramics and MOAB-class bloons take triple and twice as much damage to pop as their non-fortified counterparts, respectively.

When sent as a Bloon Mod, Fortified Bloons double the eco penalty on MOAB-class sends, while not changing eco by sending other Bloon sends.

Fortified properties have a similar or greater HP-to-cost ratio to their non-Fortified counterparts, making that extra HP worth it for getting through a defense that lacks single-target damage. It's more notable on MOAB-class rushes, but can still be used with success on Leads and Ceramics. As a general rule of thumb, a Fortified blimp is more cost-effective than two non-Fortified blimps, except versus blimp instakillers (e.g. [[Monkey Pirates (Battles 2)|Monkey Pirates]]) and towers that excel against single-target (e.g. [[First Strike Capability (Battles 2)|First Strike Capability]]), and for tight rushes, which generally prefer spamming the rush for maximum pierce problems, except if it's Fortified DDTs.

For Ceramic rushes, it's effective for sneaking through round 18-19 rushes that focus too much on beating the early MOABs.
