Talk:Damage type

Hey folks, I have a brilliant idea.

Why don't we also say which towers have those damage types, instead of just showing what bloons they can pop. That way you can see exactly which tower and path does which damage types without having to go to their individual pages.

Sure, we can totally list every upgrade and crosspath under each damage type instead of just leaving the table that already works perfectly fine. Thank you for this brilliant suggestion. Pixelentropy (talk) 22:55, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

No not each individual crosspath, just which towers do that damage type. (I KNOW IT'S brilliant right?)

They are being sarcastic. This table would bloat the hell out of this page and you can already check the damage types on each upgrade's page. Planterror (talk) 23:23, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

But that's what I'm saying! Why do I have to go to every individual upgrade page JUST to see their damage types? It's tedious and annoying if I'm just looking for a quick list. It doesn't have to be in a table, just a list kinda like the internal properties list. Just list them and say which towers apply that damage type! Simple as that (> v o)

Do you understand how massive of a table that would be, for EACH game that has damage types? Planterror (talk) 23:30, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

oh yea ig BUT I can work hard and do the work, nobody else wants to then I can do it all. AND it would be helpful to other newer players who want to know which towers apply those damage types, because the descriptions of the upgrades don't say them. Like red hot rangs doesnt even have fire damage type, which always confused me when i was starting out.

IsaacBoi123 (talk) 23:35, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Let me make myself clear. This is not a bad idea because nobody has the willpower to do it. This is a bad idea because it would bloat the page by many times its current length and would be redundant information. A page of that length would only confuse people more when they want to find the other information on the page. Planterror (talk) 23:38, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

I do think there's value in having a page that lists towers/upgrades and their immunities. If not on this page, then on a separate list page. Maybe I could automate that with the new stats system I'm working on (Blooncyclopedia:Sandbox). Polavux (talk) 23:59, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Oh nice. I can also work on one with my workshop as well. IsaacBoi123 (talk) 15:27, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Good news! I am done doing the tower list of damage types in my workshop page! I only know stuff about BTD6, so I don't know any of the damage types and stuff for the other sections. Check it OUT: User:IsaacBoi123/advanced damage type list

MODS, please tell me if this is good and I can add it to the table in the btd6 section.

I don't think there's any harm in adding it, though I don't think this is very useful by itself if it doesn't tell you what upgrades are required for each damage type. That's why I think there should be a separate page that lists the damage types of each tower/upgrade in detail.

What about the Heroes, though? Polavux (talk) 02:50, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I can add the Heroes. Well if there is a seperate page, I would be willing to create/help with it if you want me too. Thanks for letting me add it! Could you explain to me how i would go about making the seperate page? Like what format or style should I do, and should I just copy and paste every individual stats section of each upgrade? Or should I make it from the ground up. I'd like to see what would be better, and I'm okay not creating the page if you don't want me doing it.

IsaacBoi123 (talk) 02:55, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

I don't think you need to do anything, since my goal with the other page is to set up a system that can keep it up to date automatically. Polavux (talk) 03:14, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

For this page, I think the towers should go on a separate table from the Bloon matchup chart. It could go in its own subsection (level 4 header) and use {{main}} to link to the separate page that lists tower and upgrade damage types in detail. That way, it doesn't make the matchups unreadable on mobile.

I would do this myself, but I don't want to edit tables on my phone, and I'm not gonna have access to my computer for a while... Polavux (talk) 18:47, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

K I can do it
