Encounters are objects that trigger one-time beneficial effects in Bloons Blitz. They spawn across the map at random positions, and the Hero can activate an Encounter by standing on it; most encounters require the Hero to stand within their area for a few seconds, indicated by a blue ring-gauge that fills up while the Hero stands within it, but some activate near-instantly. Running up to an Encounter also causes it to spawn 210 experience (11 blue orbs and 2 purple orbs) one time. The player can increase the duration, activation speed, and XP earned by all Encounters with The Wise Frog sticker.

Some Encounters cause a trail of blue flames to periodically appear on the ground and guide the player towards them from a distance, but others do not. These trails disappear when a Boss Bloon is about to spawn in. If the Hero is activating an Encounter while a Boss Bloon is about to spawn in, the boss waits until the Encounter activates before starting the boss fight. When it does spawn in, it destroys all Encounters that overlap the arena, including inactive ones.

The types of Encounters that can appear, and their odds of appearing, depend on the level theme (grasslands, desert, or snow). Iron Monkey and Bodyguard challenges usually disable Encounters that heal the player, and No XP challenges increase the odds of finding Instant Level Ups. In No XP mode, Encounters and Boss Bloons are the only ways to earn XP.

List of Encounters

Image	Name	Effect	Activation		Shows guideline?
			Radius	Time
	1 Health	Spawns a banana collectible that heals 1 health when picked up. If already at full health, it grants 1 Temp HP instead. Has no effect in Iron Monkey or Bodyguards mode.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	5 Gold	A stack of gold coins that spawns 5 coin collectibles. Each one earns the player 1 Gold when collected.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	20 Gold	A bag of gold that spawns 20 coin collectibles.	2 meters	1 second
	50 Gold	A treasure chest that spawns 50 coin collectibles.	3 meters	2 seconds
	Attack Boost	A Berserker Brew potion that double the entire team's attack speed for 6 seconds.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	Auto Crits	Causes all of the team's projectiles that can crit to have guaranteed crits for 7 seconds.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	Bloon Chipper[sic]	Sucks in and destroys all Bloons within a large radius over the next 0.5 seconds.	3 meters	2 seconds
	Bloon Blowback	A boombox that adds a new attack to the Hero for 8 seconds. It emits a sound wave around the Hero 5 times per second. Each sound wave can hit up to 5 Bloons, dealing no damage applying significant knockback, pushing the Bloons near the Hero away.	3 meters	1 second
	Bloon Harvester	A Super Wide Funnel-like vehicle that the team enters and drives around for 10 seconds. The vehicle destroys all obstacles on contact and automatically moves forward at a set speed; the player can only change the direction it moves in. It rapidly sucks in regular Bloons and XP within a small cone in front of it, instantly popping the Bloons and collecting the XP. When the duration ends, the team exits the vehicle and it explodes, which is purely cosmetic. Additionally, the player cannot choose any upgrades from queued level-ups, and any Boss Bloon that is about to spawn will wait, until 2 seconds after the duration ends.	5 meters	2 seconds
	Bloonsday Device	Triggers the following effects: Immediately after activation, it stops all Bloons from spawning for the next 4 seconds. 1.2 seconds after activation, it grants the player invincibility for the next 1.5 seconds. 1.8 seconds after activation, it fully pops all non-Boss Bloons on-screen, including Ghost Bloons, and deals 100 damage to Boss Bloons.	5 meters	2 seconds
	Double XP	A potion that causes Bloons to drop one extra XP collectible when popped within the next 8 seconds.	3 meters	1 second
	Full Heal	A campsite that fully restores the Hero's health. If already at full health, it grants 1 Temp HP instead. Has no effect in Iron Monkey or Bodyguards mode.	3.7 meters	2 seconds
	Instant Level Up	An Ancient Knowledge Pack that spawns a special XP collectible that increases the team's level by one. The team's percentage of XP towards the next level remains the same.	2.5 meters	1 second
	Invincibility	An idol that makes the Hero invincible for 8 seconds. Bloons that touch the Hero during this time take 25 damage.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	Magnet	A charm that draws in all uncollected collectables (XP, coins, etc.) over a large area for 5 seconds.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	Speed Boost	A shoe that doubles team's movement speed for 6 seconds.	2 meters	0.2 seconds
	Super Magnet	Draws in all uncollected collectables (XP, coins, etc.) on the entire map.	5 meters	2 seconds
	Time Stop	Slows Bloons and the level progression timer by 90%, and reduces the rate that Bloons spawn at, by 50% for 10 seconds. Any Boss Bloon that is about to spawn will wait until the duration ends.	3 meters	1 second
