Not sure, i Just started playing this game and trying to figure out things

[A blender scrubbed clean]

You must mean camo. Make sure you have towers that can hit camo or upgrade previous ones to be able to by the time the camo option comes up.

[Gabriel]

if you cant hit they are camos, if you hit but cant damage them they are probably lead, there are specific towers that hit them, but most of the towers have an upgrade that lets you hit them too

[vvvvvv]

Oh thanks all :)

So you're having wonders about camo bloons huh? Well, here are ALL the towers that can pop them. These towers can see camos no matter which path you take: 2-X Dart Monkey, X-2 Apprentice, X-2 Heli-Pilot, X-2 Ace, X-2 Buccaneer,and X-2 Sniper Monkey. Here are the other towers that see camo that either don't take upgrades to pop it or need a specific path: Ninja Monkey and Dartling gun can both pop camos without any upgrades. Monkey Sub, Monkey Engineer, and Spike Factory all have special ways. Monkey sub and Monkey Engineer need to be 3-X to uncover camo. Spike Factory tosses down spikes that just pop camos no matter what unless they're lead, then get a 2-X Spike Factory for leads. Monkey Sub has a radius that has a little line going around it that removes the camo from camo bloons. Same with the Engineer except he shoots foam onto the path that pops any bloons as well as removing camo. Now, Monkey Village is a little special here. A X-2 Monkey Village gives all towers in it's small radius camo detection, great if you like Ice, Glue, or Bombs.

Also the X-2 or 2-X is the upgrade path for each camo detection upgrade. Hope I helped a lot and went into enough detail!

The game is very unclear as to which towers can damage which types of bloons. You have camo balloons that can only be hit by certain towers, metal balloons which can only be popped by certain towers, camo metal bloons which can only be popped by certain towers, as well as ceramic bloons which are very damage resistant to most types of towers. You also have some towers that do more damage to blimps than others... the game doesn't explain this very well at all and unfortunately unless there's some FAQ you can read somewhere, the only way to learn is through trial and error.

They're not 'metal balloons", they're leads.

And ceramics aren't resistant to anything, except the slowdown of glue.

Every tower can pop ceramics as good as any other bloons.

And usually the upgrade description will say if it gives camo detection.

[```skunk3```]

metal, lead, whatever.

ceramics do in fact seem to be resistant to certain towers and more susceptible to others in my experience, so what you're saying is wrong.

Please, give me an example.

And I'm not saying that a 1-0 sniper doesn't do more damage to ceramic than a 0-0 sniper, I'm just saying that ceramics do not have resistances.

Although, the juggernaut and spiked ball factory do more damage to ceramics.

It's not in the game files, so what you're saying is wrong.

I am not going to give specific examples because I'd like to keep that information to myself. I have playtested all of the various towers over and over again and certain towers are simply better for dealing with ceramics.

Of course certain towers are better for ceramics than others.

A 3-0 sniper will deal with a ceramic easier than a 2-3 glue gunner.

Ceramics do not have any resistances. Full stop

[I'm bad at games :(]

Glue does slow down ceramics on mobile.

But do bloons frozen by absolute zero regrow?

[Bickern]

Some bloons are camo, camouflage, there are many upgrades that let you hit this balloons.
