Cannot Penetrate Multiple Layers is an attack behavior characterized by not being able to penetrate multiple layers at all, not even when given damage buffs or when attacking Debuffed Bloons, and only does more than one damage on multi-HP single layers. It is part of the damage types family. In Bloons TD 6, this was a previously lesser known game mechanic that had secretly gotten removed from many attacks as of Version 31.2. It was likely removed in Bloons TD 6 to minimize redundant damage calculations.

Cannot Penetrate Multiple Layers is represented on Bloons Wiki as , the icon of a Red Bloon in Bloons TD 6, as if a Red Bloon represents the maximum number of layers it can be popped per attack, that being one layer. Just because an attack does one damage does not mean it only can do one layer of damage; regardless of how much damage an attack can do, if it cannot penetrate through multiple regular bloon layers then it is constituted as Cannot Penetrate Multiple Layers.
