Dreadbloon, titled Armored Behemoth, is a Boss Bloon in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 34.0.

Mechanics

Damage reduction

Dreadbloon reduces all damage taken by 1: projectiles deal 1 less damage per hit and damage over time deals 1 less damage per tick. If Dreadbloon takes damage from something but its damage is reduced to zero, it displays text that says "RESIST".

Immunities

At the start of the encounter, Dreadbloon is immune to all Primary towers, which changes to a different category each time it reaches a skull: it is immune to Military after the first skull, Magic after the second, and Support after the third. Dreadbloon reflects projectiles from towers it is immune to instead of neutralizing them, and it cannot have effects applied to it by immune towers at all. Text that says "IMMUNE" pops up each time Dreadbloon is hit by an immune tower.

Dreadbloon's immunity to sharp, cold, and energy damage works mostly the same as a normal immunity. It does not take extra "lead damage" from Heavy Shells, but it does from other sources such as Lead to Gold and Ultra-Juggernaut.

Ceramic Armor Shell

Dreadbloon starts each encounter with a Ceramic Armor Shell. The health of the shield is equal to 50% of its maximum health for the current tier, including the extra health from Co-op (meaning it also gains 20% more health per additional player). While the shell is active, Regular Dreadbloon's speed is reduced by 70%, while Elite Dreadbloon's speed is reduced by 65%. The shell does not reduce damage and does not have Lead properties, but it does inherit Dreadbloon's category-based immunity. In addition to taking extra damage from sources that deal bonus MOAB-Class damage and boss damage, it also takes extra damage from some, but not all, sources that deal extra damage to Ceramic Bloons. For example, it takes extra damage from Juggernaut, but not Spiked Balls. (There is no consistent pattern to which ones count and which ones do not, it's purely a quirk of the game's programming.) The shield regenerates at each skull.

Dreadrock Bloons

Main article: Dreadrock Bloon

Each time Dreadbloon reaches a skull, Dreadrock Bloons start spawning from the entrances. It first spawns a certain number of Dreadrock Bloons within the first five seconds (so the time between spawns is 5 seconds divided by the amount), then it keeps spawning them at regular intervals until Dreadbloon's Ceramic Armor Shell is destroyed. Dreadrock Bloons have the same category-based immunity as Dreadbloon and have the highest priority bracket for strong targeting, meaning all towers that target strong will target them before anything else. Dreadrock Bloons take extra MOAB damage and boss damage, but are not MOAB-Class Bloons. The health, spawning rate, and number of lives lost when they leak increases at higher tiers.
