Units, sometimes called range units or distance units, are a unit of distance in the Bloons TD series. It is often used to express the range and size of towers, projectiles, and effects. Speeds of projectiles and certain towers are often expressed in units per second.
Unless otherwise specified, numbers describing a length or a distance should be assumed to be in units. The size of circular objects such as most tower's ranges, many projectiles, and the area-of-effect of explosive attacks are often expressed by their radius in units.
Terminology
In official communications such as update notes, Ninja Kiwi often describes distances using just numbers, without any units. For example, Ninja Kiwi has described certain balance changes to Spike-o-pult and Downdraft in Bloons TD 6 as follows[1][2]:
| “ | 3xx Spike-o-pult range increased from 32 > 36.8 — Bloons TD 6 Version 42.0 Update Notes |
” |
| “ | x3x Downdraft blowback distance reduced from 32-300 to 32-150 — Bloons TD 6 Version 32.0 Update Notes |
” |
The term "units" is often used by the community in lieu of an official term.
