Purple-Popping Power

Purple-Popping Power (also referred as purple-popping power) is the capability for a tower to affect Purple Bloon properties. This has only appeared in Bloons TD 6, where the Purple Bloon debuts in. Energy-related sources such as energy, plasma, and fire cannot affect Purple Bloons, but any attack other than energy-related sources always can affect them. Bloons Wiki depicts attacks that can affect Purple with this icon:, depicted as a Purple Bloon from Bloons TD 6.

Many towers naturally pop Purple Bloon properties by default. All other towers that cannot naturally pop Purple Bloons will require an upgrade to pop Purple Bloon properties, usually done by adding alternate attacks. The only types of energy, plasma, or fire that already pop Purple by default include the Wizard Lord Phoenix transformation, any Tier 4+ Super Monkey with energy-related upgrades or crosspaths, and Ray of Doom.

Bloons TD 6
The Purple Bloon was added to give a weakness for energy-related attacks, as Monkey Apprentices (precursor to Wizard Monkey) and Super Monkeys (with Plasma Blasts) in Bloons TD 5 could pop any bloon type easily without support.
