Degrow

Degrow is status effect that removes the Regrow properties of a bloon. It was first introduced in Bloons TD 5 Deluxe with the introduction of the Monkey Engineer's Cleansing Foam, and has since been introduced into all mobile editions of Bloons TD 5. It was the only example in the BTD5 generation outside of bonus perks, but in Bloons TD 6, many more examples of Degrow were added in the game as upgrades.

Degrow is represented on Bloons Wiki as, the upgrade icon for Heart of Oak in Bloons TD 6, which depicts a regrow bloon with three thorns stuck in it, which is offsetting the regrow properties of the bloon and in effect, turning that bloon into a regular bloon.

As previously stated, Heart of Oak is a prime example of Degrow. Embrittlement also degrows bloon. Corrosive Glue is not true degrow as the bloon can still regrow layers before it gets popped.

Grow Blocker uses the Grow Blocked status effect; this is not a true example of degrow since it prevents regrow for regenerating layers while inside the Monkey Village but only inside the village. Once bloons are out of the villages range, then they can start regrowing layers again. Same thing for Ezili's Heartstopper, which only last for 6 seconds. However, Level 9+ Ezili's main attack is a true example of degrow.

All attacks require an upgrade to gain the Degrow status effect.

Degrow is also present in Bloons Adventure Time TD through items and upgrades such as Princess Bubblegum's Super Intelligence, Horsey Soap, Silver Shurikens, and Silver Tipped Stakes.
