Military icon in Battles 2

Military is a tower category in Bloons TD 6 and Bloons TD Battles 2 and a Monkey card class in Bloons Card Storm. During a game, Military towers are distinguished by a green background. As the name implies, this category is comprised of monkeys with a military theme. Most military monkeys have great coverage of maps in some way. In BTD6, Military Monkeys are unlocked at levels 7-12, except for the Dartling Gunner which is instead obtained by popping a certain number of Bloon layers. In Battles 2, Military towers cost  500 to purchase. In BCS, Military Monkeys require their unique token type () when crafting cards.

Characteristics

Military monkeys are generally more expensive than most other towers. All of them have a way to attack globally. Some Military monkeys have powerful stats as a base tower, such as Heli Pilot, while some need to be upgraded to be useful, such as Monkey Ace. Most of these towers also have unique and powerful abilities, such as the Buccaneer's middle path, whilst some of them have manual targeting options like the Mortar Monkey and Dartling Gunner.
