Also, if superceramics did not appear 20 rounds before freeplay, Bomb blitz and Elite defender would be more useful. Right now, past round 80, if you lose 1 life, you almost always lose 46 unless you get very lucky, as you'll have 4 identical bloons from a MOAB. Before round 80, however, when a MOAB is popped, you will have an assortment of bloons, and it is more likely that a yellow or pink bloon will rush to the exit before the remaining ceramics leak, and thus you only lose 4 or 5 lives to activate the ability.
