On the multiplatform version, there is an [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (multiplatform)#Cleansing_Foam_MIB_bug|bug]] when the specialist building [[Engineers Workshop]] is enabled, or the engineer is buffed by a [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BMC)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] that enables the foam to damage all Bloon types, including [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s. | ||

In ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', Cleansing Foam is an inconsistent de-camo and [[Lead Bloon (BTD5)|Lead Bloon]] popper that excels on single lane maps or maps where it can place foam into an intersection in order to prevent strays. It is helpful to also include some [[Glue Soak (BTD5)|Glue Soak]] Glue Gunners to slow down Lead Bloons to give the Engineer time to place foam on the track in the event the engineer is too close to the entrance or other Bloons consume the pierce of the foam. Tracks like [[Spider Map]] and [[Clock]] are unfavorable to it, but it can be used on others like [[Rail Track (BTD5 Deluxe)|Rail Track]] Reverse or [[Castle]] Reverse when positioned at the front of the track at the junction before Bloons split. Two Cleansing Foams are slightly cheaper than a [[Radar Scanner (BTD5)|Radar Scanner]] village and would make the foam a lot more consistent and allow foam to be placed on separate lanes on two lane tracks like [[Cash Money]], but at that point it's better to upgrade the village as it also provides valuable buffs like [[Jungle Drums (BTD5)|Jungle Drums]] as well as camo detection. | |||
<section begin="strategymultiplat"/>On the {{Multiplat version of|Bloons TD 5}}, this tower is a lot weaker due to re-hits on the same Bloon eating up the pierce on foam puddles way faster and should instead be used as (if not expensive) damaging puddles with the MIB damage type glitch.<section end="strategymultiplat"/> | |||
<section begin="strategycrosspath" />Crosspathing with [[Larger Service Area (BTD5)|Larger Service Area]] actively hinders the effectiveness of the foam, as it increases the range at which foam can be placed, while the foam wants to be placed in a single chokepoint.<section end="strategycrosspath"/> [[9-inch nails (BTD5)|9-inch nails]] doesn't actively hurt, and depending on the layout of the track can get some benefit out of the additional nail pierce, but this is optional. | |||
