The BAD is a type of MOAB-Class Bloon in Bloons TD 6 and the strongest non-Boss Bloon in normal gameplay. It first appears on round 100, or round 99 in Alternate Bloons Rounds. BADs have the same speed and size as ZOMGs. They are immune to all forms of blowback, knockback, slowing, and stunning, except for Time Stop, Workshop's Reverse Motor, and Herald of Everfrost's Eclipse of Fimbulwinter ability. Each BAD releases two ZOMGs and three DDTs when popped.

Although BADs normally have 55,760 RBE (98,360 when Fortified), the health of all MOAB-Class Bloons increases with each round after round 81, so the actual RBE of the BAD on round 100 is 67,200 (429,920 for Fortified BAD on Round 140). Like all MOAB-class Bloons, a BAD has four damage phases.

The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add tips for how to deal with BADs specifically
  • BADs are the biggest threats throughout deep Freeplay, leading to a lot of strategies revolving around dealing with them.
  • The first BAD poses a threat to defenses that lack single-target damage and rely too much on stalling. Also, when popped, the children DDTs can quickly rush through the defenses.
  • First Strike can instantly destroy the BAD on round 100 if it has taken around 25,000 damage first (19,500 if   Big Bloon Sabotage is enabled).
    • At the last damage phase, its left and right turbines are destroyed, a simple indicator that the BAD is beginning to be within insta-kill range. With Big Bloon Sabotage, the BAD reaches its final phase once it has taken 20,160 damage; without it, it's 22,400.
