Yellow Bloon

"To recap, yellows spawn greens, that spawn blues, that spawn reds. Yellows move very fast."

- Round 10 in Bloons Tower Defense 4 "Good old Yellow Bloons. Quite fast, quite big, and quite dangerous without a good defense."

- Round 11 in Bloons Tower Defense 5

Yellow Bloons are the fourth type of bloons encountered in the Bloons Tower Defense games. They usually appear in Round 11, and are the first real threat encountered by most players. Yellows are one of the fastest moving bloons in the game (the second fastest bloon), and require careful tower placement to shoot down. They are slower than Pink Bloons, and faster than everything else. Yellow bloons spawn a Green Bloon when popped. Until Bloons Tower Defense 4, the parents of the yellow bloon were the Black Bloon and White Bloon, which each spawned 2 yellows. Since BTD4, the parent of the yellow bloon is the Pink Bloon. When a yellow bloon and its children are all popped it yields a total of 4 money.

Tips

 * Since they are fast, use towers with splash attacks (such as Bomb Towers or Levels 3-5 Monkey Apprentices)


 * Don't use slow rate of fire towers, such as Mortar Towers (not Level 5) or Monkey Buccaneers (not Level 5).


 * Dart Monkeys are usually the worst towers against Yellow Bloons (Unless there are a lot of them, or it's facing the bloon) since they have a slow rate of fire and don't have splash attacks.
 * Monkey Glue gives the Dart Monkey a chance because it slows down Yellow Bloons.

Trivia

 * The Yellow Bloons are the second fastest Bloon in the Bloons series, behind Pink Bloons.
 * The Sniper Monkey's upgrade Full Metal Jacket can pop an entire yellow bloon due to its ability to pop through 4 layers of bloons in one shot.
 * They appear in every Bloons TD game to date.
 * In BTD5, there are 20 yellow camo bloons in round 33.
