Hard Thorns is the Druid's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the pierce of Druid's thorns from 1 to 2, and changes damage type of its thorns, brambles, and vines from Sharp to Normal (which allows them to damage Lead and Frozen Bloons).

Strategy

edit
This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Hard Thorns makes Druids more reliable against groups of Bloons, though it is primarily used as a Tier 3+ crosspath for Lead popping, being the much preferred crosspath for Druid of the Jungle+. For bottom path, this crosspath should only be considered if external Lead popping is unavailable as this loses Thorn Swarm's DPS (especially when pierce-buffed).

As an underused crosspath on this tower, Druid’s Hard Thorns will now allow them to counter all of its weaknesses instead of just frozen targets.
— Update notes
  •   Main attack: Damage type changed ― Shatter → Normal
  •   Overall cost reduced by $25 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Now properly needs Hard Thorns crosspaths to grab lead/frozen bloons with vines (bug fix)
Hard Thorns is useful and often taken for crosspath even if not going for 2xx as lightning is comparatively very expensive for what it offers so moving Thunder’s cost out into both the surrounding upgrades.
— Update notes
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $250 → $350
1-5-0
  •   Vine minimum cooldown increased ― 0.0625s → 0.65s (undocumented)
Druid projectile lifespans are being shifted from many base weapons into the xx1 range crosspath, this is a nerf to top path lifespan when not taking the crosspath and a buff to 031 druids
— Update notes
  •   Thorn: Projectile distance reduced ― 136 → 102
    • Note: Does not affect X-X-1, implemented as a projectile lifespan decrease ― 0.4s → 0.3s
  •   Main attack: Projectile spread can now be affected by accuracy buffs
