* Players should be careful about stalling Dreadbloon for too long as it has ~~a pretty~~ similar health to Bloonarius, considering the Ceramic Shield, ~~and is~~ likely to run out of time.

* There are a few tricky rounds in the early game, examples include:

** Lead defense needs to be ready in Round 26 instead of 28.

** Lead defense needs to be ready in Round 26 instead of 28, it also needs to be stronger as the Leads in 28 and 30 are Fortified, meaning a single 0-0-0 Bomb Shooter cannot pop them anymore. A 0-0-0 Alchemist can pop the layer in most situations, and it can be useful to quickly upgrade it to 1-0-3 [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] earlier than usual as rounds 31, 34, 38 and 39 contain many Lead Bloons in addition to the regular set and can produce extra income.

** Also it needs to be stronger as the Leads in 28 and 30 are Fortified, meaning a single 0-0-0 Bomb Shooter cannot pop them anymore~~, a~~ 0-0-0 Alchemist can pop the layer in ~~those rounds on~~ most situations and can be useful to quickly upgrade it to 1-0-3 [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] earlier than usual as rounds 31, 34, 38 and 39 ~~also~~ contain many Lead Bloons in addition to the regular set ~~that~~ can produce extra income.

** Ceramics will start appearing in Round 35 instead of 38 and will be Fortified, 39 will also have some additional Ceramics. Regular defensive setups should be good enough at this point to handle them, but players should be careful when the entire defense is composed of a [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]], if the trap is down at the wrong time the Ceramics might pass and depending on the map and Engineer's position, they risk leaking.

** The entire Round 46 is replaced by a Fortified MOAB. If Dreadbloon is already defeated, this means the MOAB defense should be ready 4 rounds earlier than usual and be stronger as every other MOAB from this point is also Fortified. Round 46 also needs attention while the Boss is on the screen as the defense could be distracted attacking Dreadbloon and the Dreadrock Bloons, ignoring or not damaging it enough.

* In Boss Challenge / Boss Bloon Events it is recommended to use Primary towers to defend the Dreadrock Bloons, as they will never have Primary immunity, in Tiers 3 or higher a Degree 40+ Apex Plasma Master / Crucible of Steel and Flame or Degree 20+ Glaive Dominus is enough to defeat any Dreadrock Bloon for the rest of the fight, even for Elite Dreadbloon (Normal can be done with 20 less degrees).

* It is useful to save more lives than usual against Dreadbloon as there is always risk of leaking a few Dreadrock Bloons, especially when the Ceramic Shield is regenerated and will spawn more than normal.

* When needed, switch the targeting of your towers to deal with the Boss, its spawns or the regular Bloons, all 4 options have uses.

* A [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]] is always a nice tower to have in the early and mid tiers to move towers around as they might end in a bad position to damage Dreadbloon.

* Dreadbloon's speed can ~~also~~ be exploited by spam strategies in many maps, using all buff/debuff support in addition to a Sun Temple with Support sacrifices can be extremely effective. If the player is careful with the immunity phase, such strategies can easily beat Normal Dreadbloon and even Tier 4 Elite.
