Fortified Bloons are a type of Bloon Modifier in Bloons TD 6. This property can be applied to Lead Bloons, Ceramic Bloons, MOAB-Class Bloons, and Golden Bloons. Fortified Bloons require more damage to pop than their non-Fortified counterparts: Fortified Leads take 4 damage to pop, while fortified Ceramic and MOAB-Class Bloons take twice as much damage to pop. If a Fortified Bloon degrades to a layer that cannot be Fortified, its children will not be Fortified (e.g. popping a Fortified Ceramic will spawn two non-Fortified Rainbow Bloons), and Fortified Regrow Bloons will not regenerate their Fortified properties if they regrow to their initial layers.
While not technically a Fortified Bloon, Diamondback's Rattle Tail is treated as Fortified by attacks that do more damage to Fortified Bloons.
Few attacks and buffs output more flat damage to Fortified compared to non-Fortified. Generally speaking, bonus Fortified damage is helpful but not to the point of being able to have it revolved around.
