Golden Bloon (BTD6)

The Golden Bloon is a type of Bloon and event in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 24.0. During games with the Golden Bloon, it appears on random rounds over the duration of the game. It rewards a small amount of Monkey Money each time it is popped. It cannot appear on Deflation, CHIMPS, or Sandbox mode.

The Golden Bloon event runs each week from early Friday to early Monday, alternating with Monkey Teams.

Mechanics

• The Golden Bloon spawns on a random round in each "block" of 10 rounds, starting on round 21 and up to the default number of rounds for the current difficulty and/or mode. For example, on Medium, it will first spawn on a round from 21 to 30, then on a round from 31 to 40, then on a round from 41 to 50, then finally on a round from 51 to 60, and will not appear again in freeplay. It has a base movement speed of 30 distance units per second (affected by the speed modifiers on higher difficulties), which is slightly faster than a Red Bloon but slightly slower than a Blue Bloon.
• The Golden Bloon starts with more health and gains a new property each time it appears, except on rounds 91-100 where it uses the same properties as the previous round. The properties it gains include Bloon Mods (Camo and Fortified) and properties of other Bloon types (Lead, Purple, and Zebra).
• The Golden Bloon always takes only one point of damage per hit, even from "insta-kills" such as Bomb Blitz. Damage over time similarly only deals a maximum of 1 damage per "tick".
• Each time the Golden Bloon takes damage (both from attacks and damage over time), it cannot take damage or have its properties stripped for 0.9 seconds and its speed is increased by 2.5× for 2 seconds afterwards. Additionally, it has a 20% chance to jump forwards or backwards by a random distance, with a 2.5-second cooldown. It can jump up to 20% of the length of the track and has a minimum jump distance of 30.

Rewards

The Golden Bloon drops Monkey Money each time it is popped. In Co-op, all players receive the same reward. If the Golden Bloon is Fortified, it drops double Monkey Money, but if the fortification is stripped, it reverts to the normal amount.

The Golden Bloon is, to put it mildly, a god-awful way to grind Monkey Money.
