'''Specialty Buildings''' are a feature in [[Bloons TD 5]] that provide special bonuses to a specific [[Tower|tower]] ~~(along with a price increase to~~ another tower~~) when enabled~~. They cost [[Monkey Money]] to build and upgrade, and have a total of 3{{G|BTD5F,BTD5D}} or 4{{G|BTD5M,BTD5C}} tiers. The first tier is always a cost decrease for the tower, ~~followed by~~ a stat boost (usually [[~~Attack~~ speed]]), then the ~~rest of the~~ tiers are unique ~~effects~~ for the ~~tower~~.

*Can you switch specialty buildings mid-game and gain the effects on the {{console version of|Bloons TD 5}}?

*If a player in co-op disconnects, how do Specialty Buildings interact with newly-placed towers or towers that changed ownership?}}

'''Specialty Buildings''' (also referred to as '''Specialist Buildings''' in the {{mobile version|Bloons TD 5}}) are a feature in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'' that provide special bonuses to a specific [[Tower|tower]] when enabled, at the cost of increasing the base cost and upgrade costs of another tower. They cost [[Monkey Money]] to build and upgrade, and have a total of 3{{G|BTD5F,BTD5D}} or 4{{G|BTD5M,BTD5C}} tiers. The first tier is always a cost decrease for the tower, the second is always a stat boost (usually [[attack speed]]), then the third and fourth tiers are unique. There is one Specialty Building for every major tower except the [[Monkey Village (BTD5)|Monkey Village]] and [[Banana Farm (BTD5)|Banana Farm]].

Specialty Buildings ~~are first unlocked with an upfront~~ 250 ~~Monkey Money cost~~ to purchase ~~the land~~. The player can only use one ~~specialty building~~ at a time, ~~except on~~ the {{~~Mobile~~ version of|Bloons TD 5}}, ~~where~~ the player ~~can quit out of a game and change it~~ to ~~gain~~ the effects of the ~~newly~~ selected ~~building~~.

The player is required to first purchase the land for Specialty Buildings for {{BTD5 mm|250}}, then needs to purchase each Specialty Building and tier separately. The player can only use one Specialty Building at a time. In the mobile version, the player can quit out of a game and change their Specialty Building to switch to its effects upon reloading the save, while in the {{flash version|Bloons TD 5}}, reloading a save switches the player's active Specialty Building to the one that was selected when the save was created.

In the {{flash version|Bloons TD 5}}, each player's Specialty Building in [[Co-op (BTD5)|Co-op]] applies to both players, but their effects do not stack if both players select the same Specialty Building. In the mobile version, Specialty Buildings only apply to the player that selected it.
