Spirit of the Forest is the Druid's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It spawns thick vines on the Path that constantly damage passing bloons, with greater damage if near the Druid. This Druid also passively generates more Cash at the end of the round being increased with more farms in its range. Additionally, the Activated Ability grabs and crushes even more bloons. All its attacks, excluding Heart of Thunder's lightning, deal extra damage.
Mechanics
Vine zone
| This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Double-check if this track vines stuff is right, and also |
Bloons inside the vine zone(s) take damage every 0.5 seconds regardless of attack speed modifiers. Its default damage type is Sharp, or Normal with Hard Thorns. Upon purchasing Spirit of the Forest, track vines begin growing outwards at a fixed rate of 3 units every second. If moved by any means, the track coverage moves with this Druid, including the special vine zones.
The vine zone deals different amounts of damage within a specific range; each zone is distinguished by color and shape of the thorny vines:
- Inner zone - Within 50 units. Does 1 damage (4 total), and +14 damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class (30 total), respectively. Vines have thick cyan thorns and green stems.
- Middle zone - Between 50 and 100 units. Does 1 damage (3 total), and +4 damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class (15 total) , respectively.
- Outer zone - Beyond 100 units. Does 2 damage, and +8 damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class, respectively. Vine stems are brown with small green spikes.
In Co-op, each Spirit of the Forest creates its own vine zones, and they can layer on top of each other to stack their damage, keep in mind that Bloons may not enter the zones at exactly 0.5 second intervals, effectively making damage increase inconsistently.
End-of-round cash
At the end of the round, it generates $1120 base cash, and extra cash for every Banana Farm and its upgrades in range, along with 25 lives. The amount can be further improved by Monkey City and a nearby Level 5+ Obyn Greenfoot.
| Highest Tier | Generated |
|---|---|
| No Upgrades | +$10 |
| Tier 1 | +$20 |
| Tier 2 | +$40 |
| Tier 3 | +$60 |
| Tier 4 | +$120 |
| Tier 5 | +$120 |
Vine grab
| This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason. |
Similar to previous upgrade except the leftover vine does 5 damage instead of 2, rehits bloons and refreshes pierce every 0.1s instead of 0.2s, and the flat constant cooldown is reduced to 0.3 seconds instead of 1.4 seconds. If given Hard Thorns, the vine grab's base cooldown reduces from 2.6 seconds to 0.65s, compared to without it which remains the same as Jungle's Bounty.
Thorns
Thorns deal 6 damage instead of 1.
Abilities
Jungle's Bounty Ability

When upgraded, Spirit of the Forest's Jungle's Bounty ability is replaced with a stronger version that is shared with other Jungle's Bounties and can automatically activate all other of this ability. Unlike most activated abilities, this ability always starts on a full 60-second initial cooldown. Cooldown is also 60 seconds.
When activated, the player immediately gains $1280 and 25 lives, plus +$130 per Farm within this Druid's range.
This ability can only be activated up to 3 times per round. Like most purely income-generating abilities, this ability is disabled after 3 minutes from the start of a round.
Vine Rupture Ability
| This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason. |

Only available with the
Vine Rupture MK active.
Explodes vines from the range of Spirit of the Forest outwards, dealing damage and stunning affected bloons.
Cooldown of 60 seconds.

Strategy
| This article or section is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect recent updates or newly available information. You can help out by editing this article. The editor who added this notice elaborates: New ability and passive cash generatiom |
Spirit of the Forest is overshadowed by similarly priced group poppers such as Glaive Lord and The Bloon Solver. It can be usable in certain competitive modes, namely Race Events (including Contested Territory Time Attack) and CT Least Tiers. However, Jungle's Bounty is not a good Tier 4 for the saveup due to its lack of single-target damage, also preventing Bloon Trap farming. Like other Druids, Obyn Greenfoot is an excellent hero pick for Spirit of the Forest, additionally boosting its income generation.
1-5-0 is usually the preferred crosspath, which provides Lead popping, while 0-5-2 improves its vine lifespan plus faster thorn attacks.

We want different farming methods to have different interesting ways of engaging with them, but when an ability should always be used on cooldown that’s when it really shouldn’t be an ability, while there is strategy in stall tactics there isn’t for that ability timing most don’t have fun engaging with this when they are group spam abilities. Due to this we’ve reworked the druid ability so that the farm interaction is the important mechanic to engage with here instead, and the ability is a targeting method of providing cleanup that does have strategic timing which can be used to focus more on farming with careful ability usage instead of building other defensive towers.
— Update notes
