Experience Points



, or XP, are a value to describe a players' progress in the Bloons Tower Defense games. In Bloons TD 4 and Bloons TD 5 it is awarded for popping Bloons. The player gets 1 XP point per 1 Bloon popped but the XP gained for popping bloons in not equal to RBE. For example, reducing M.O.A.B. to Ceramic Bloons takes 200 hits so 200 points to RBE but it is only 1 pop so only 1 XP point. The player gets a new Rank when they reach certain amounts of XP.

In BTD4, the bar showing how much XP you had also showed how many more bloons you had to pop before you go up a rank. In BTD5, the information is shown as pop up message when the player hovers the mouse over the XPbar.

Tower XP
The player also gets Tower XP in BTD5. It is gained by using the towers. The more towers of a kind are used the more Tower XP for the type of the tower is gained. Certain amounts unlock new tower upgrades for each tower. Final upgrades must be unlocked also by reaching a certain Rank. The path 1 upgrades usually require less XP than the path 2 ones(An exception is Arctic Wind).

Tips

 * In BTD 5, you can get a lot of Experience Points by playing the MOAB madness challenge. This gets you ~18,000 Experience Points.
 * In BTD 5, you can also repeatedly do the "Pass 10 epic rounds with a lot of cash".
 * Apopalypse Mode helps gain lots of Experience Points.
 * In Freeplay Mode in BTD5, the amount of experience gained per popped bloon slowly goes down, gradually making it an ineffective way go gain experience.
 * If you use monkey wizards with regrowth bloons (preferably rainbows), and strong defense at the end, your experience will gradually go up if you're in an early level, because when a zebra regrows into another rainbow, it counts as an entierly different bloon, so it still gets popped for experience points.
