Yellow Bloon

"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. They are the fastest out of all the bloons in BTD1, BTD2 and BTD3 and are the second fastest bloons in BTD4 and BTD5 following the Pink Bloons. Yellow Bloons are the parents of Green Bloons and the grandparents of Blue Bloons. Their parents are Pink Bloons, and their grandparents are White Bloons or Black Bloons. When a yellow bloon and its children are all popped it yields a total of 4 money. Yellow bloons also appear in the Bloons games, but only take one hit to pop.

Tips

 * Since they are fast, use towers with splash attacks (such as Bomb Towers or 2-X Monkey Apprentices)


 * Don't use slow rate of fire towers, such as Mortar Towers (until X-4) or Monkey Buccaneers (until upgraded on the third or fourth upgrade either path).


 * Unupgraded 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 Dart Monkeys a chance because it slows down Yellow Bloons.
 * Cluster Bombs work well, due to their high splash.
 * Bloon Impact is also very useful for dealing with yellows, particularly large groups. This is due to their splash and stun effect.

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.
 * The first regen yellow bloons in BTD5 appear in round 17 (eight of them)
 * A wave of yellows comes out on round 27 in BTD5.
 * Yellows move much faster than greens, but only a little slower than pinks.
 * If it is just coming out of a tunnel, it can skip past a bit of a tower's range before it gets noticed.
 * Just like the Pink Bloon, it can outsmart a super monkey most of the time.
 * When Yellow Bloons are first seen on round 11 in Bloons Tower Defense 5, there are only 2 yellow Bloons.
