Damage
Damage is the process by which a Bloon loses health and/or layers in the Bloons TD series, Bloons Supermonkey series, and Bloons Pop!. Damage is primarily dealt by projectiles or status effects.
Damage is often described in descriptive text as the amount of "layers popped", which, while not incorrect for most Bloon types, is inaccurate for Bloons with multiple points of health.

Damage types
Damage types are a property of damage that determines which Bloons the damage can or cannot be dealt to. This concept was introduced in the mobile version of Bloons TD 5 and only appears in the Bloons TD series and Bloons Pop!, although similar mechanics exist in prior games.

Bonus damage
Some attacks deal bonus damage to Bloons that meet certain conditions. They can deal extra damage to:
- Specific Bloon types, such as Pat Fusty dealing extra damage to Ceramic Bloons
- Specific Bloon classes, such as MOAB Mauler dealing extra damage to MOAB-Class Bloons
- Bloon Mods, such as the Ascended Shadow dealing extra damage to Camo Bloons
- Bloons with certain status effects, such as Sauda dealing extra damage to stunned Bloons

In BTD6, some attacks that deal extra Ceramic damage also apply to Dreadbloon's Ceramic Armor Shell, while others do not. For example, Deadly Precision does apply to the Ceramic Armor Shell, but Spiked Balls does not. This is never stated within the game itself and there does not appear to be a consistent pattern as to which sources of extra Ceramic damage do and do not apply to it. |
