Easy Difficulty

"On Easy, towers cost less than normal, the bloons move a little slower, and you have 200 lives. Winning in Easy rewards you a bronze medal for that track."

- Description in BTD5 when mouse scrolls over the Easy Difficulty icon



Easy Difficulty is one of the three difficulties in the Bloons Tower Defense 2-6 ever since Bloons TD 2. On Easy, towers are cheapest compared to Medium and Hard, and the player has, traditionally, double the lives as compared to Hard, with 200 lives, medium with 150 lives and hard with 100 lives (with 100 lives on Easy, 75 lives on Medium and 50 lives on Hard in BTD2-3). The player must pass 50 Rounds in Easy Difficulty in all BTD games from BTD2 to BTD5 in order to be awarded a Bronze Medal, but in BTD6 they only have to pass 40 rounds, or beat the first Massive Ornary Air Blimp (M.O.A.B.). Towers cost 85% of the price as in Medium Difficulty. In Easy Difficulty in Bloons TD 5, bloons also move slightly slower than bloons in Medium Difficulty. Many players use the Easy Difficulty for the short time it takes to get to Freeplay Mode, or for beginners starting the game. When in Freeplay Mode for Bloons TD 5, playing on easy means that, even though you get XP slower, you would get it much easier than in freeplay for medium or hard.

In Bloons TD 4, BTD5 and BTD6, the Easy Difficulty icon depicts a baby monkey. However, on BTD5 Extreme Tracks, it is represented by a Sniper Monkey with the Point Five Oh upgrade.

BTD4
In Bloons TD 4 and Bloons TD 4 Expansion, easy difficulty has 50 Rounds that must be passed for the player to be awarded a Bronze Medal.

BTD5
Just like all the games before it in Bloons TD 5, the player must pass Round 50 in order to win on easy difficulty. The Bloons move slower than on Medium mode or on Hard mode, and the player has 200 lives.

BTD6
In Bloons TD 6, Easy Mode consists of Round 1-40. Compared to medium, the player has 200 lives, bloons move around ~10% slower, towers cost 85% of their original price and the Round 40 MOAB spawns with 66% HP. Like most other game modes, the player starts with $650.

There are also three submodes of Easy Difficulty which are:


 * Primary Monkeys Only: Defeat Easy using only Primary Monkeys (Dart Monkey, Boomerang Monkey, Tack Shooter, Bomb Shooter, Ice Monkey, Glue Gunner) and a selected Hero.
 * Deflation: start at Round 31-60 starting with $20,000 cash and with no cash earned. It inherits all modifiers of Easy except for the round set, income and starting cash.
 * Sandbox

Trivia

 * This difficulty is unique in BTD5 and BTD6, as each counterpart makes the bloons slower.
 * In BTD5 and BTD6, this is the only difficulty icon that is not the face of an actual tower in the game.
