Encounters are objects that spawn in levels in Bloons Blitz. The player can activate an Encounter by moving their Hero on top of it for a short time (indicated by a blue ring around the Encounter filling up), the time depending on the size class of the Encounter. Activating an Encounter triggers a beneficial temporary effect, but each one is only usable once. If the player is near an Encounter, a trail of blue flames periodically appears on the ground and guides the player to it. Boss Bloons destroy Encounters within their arenas when they spawn in.

Going up to an Encounter for the first time causes it to spawn 11 blue experience orbs and 2 purple experience orbs, for a total of 210 experience. This experience counts towards the XP entity limits. In No XP mode, Encounters and Boss Bloons are the only way to earn XP. The player can increase their Encounter detection range, activation speed, and XP earned with The Wise Frog sticker.

The types of Encounters that can appear, and their odds of appearing, depend on the level theme. Iron Monkey and Bodyguard challenges usually disable Encounters that heal the player, and No XP challenges increase the odds of finding Instant Level Ups.
