'''Boss Bloon Events''', also called '''Boss Events''', are weekly events in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 ~~v27~~.0|version 27.0]] where players encounter [[Boss Bloon]]s in a modified version of a [[Boss Challenge]]. It was introduced alongside the Boss Bloons' weakness, the [[Paragon|Paragons]]. In each event, one of the Boss Bloons is selected to appear on a [[map]], possibly with some [[Challenge rule|challenge modifiers]] such as tower and hero restrictions. Victory is achieved in a Boss Bloon Event by defeating all five tiers of the boss before round 140 starts. The Elite version of the boss may not be attempted in single-player until tier 5 of the Normal boss is defeated.

Boss Bloon Events may be played in [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]] mode with up to 4 players. This event has an optional Ranked mode, which allows players to compete for spots on leaderboards and which may grant additional rewards depending on placement. Each leaderboard uses one of three scoring systems: Fastest Time, Least Cash, or Least Tiers.

The Boss Bloon Event usually runs weekly, starting Saturday at 02:00:00 UTC and ending Thursday at 03:00:00 UTC. There are sometimes exceptions to this schedule: for example, events typically end earlier right before a major update. Boss Bloon Events generally cycle between the seven available bosses in the following order: [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]], [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]], [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]], [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]], [[Phayze]], [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] and [[Diamondback]]. After an update that releases a new boss, these events feature the new boss for 4 weeks before returning to the regular order.

Since [[Bloons TD 6 ~~v31~~.0|version 31.0]], during the final hour of the event, players on Ranked Mode cannot start a new run, and those who are in the middle of a game will not be able to resume if they exit the game. This was done with the intention of preventing scores from being submitted past the ending time of the event.

This was done with the intention of preventing scores from being submitted past the ending time of the event.

While a Boss Bloon Event is active, the featured boss cannot be selected in [[Boss Challenge]] mode.

=== Leaderboards ===

Every week, one of the three scoring types is selected for Normal and Elite and all players who defeat the boss will be ranked according to it. The scores for Normal and Elite bosses are independent from each other, and since [[Bloons TD 6 ~~v44~~.0|version 44.0]], they can have a different scoring type on the same week. Regardless of the type used, the timer described above will appear because it is used as the tie-breaker in Least Cash and Least Tiers rankings.

Ranked Mode can also be played in Co-op mode and the scores of each size of team is recorded in an independent leaderboard (there are different rankings for teams of 2, 3 or 4 players). If a player has scores in multiple leaderboards for the same Boss difficulty, only the highest prize will be earned.
