The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Bloon]] introduced in [[Bloons TD 3]] under the name "Brown Bloon" that takes ten hits to pop. Once popped, it releases two [[Rainbow Bloon]]s. In [[Bloons TD 6]], it can appear as a [[Fortified Bloon|fortified]] ceramic, adding 10 HP (114 RBE). In [[Bloons TD 3]] it first appears in round 31. In [[Bloons TD 4]] and [[Bloons TD 5]] it first appears in round 40. In Bloons TD 6 it first appears on round 38. If a Ceramic Bloon escapes (regardless of health) 104 [[Lives|lives]] are lost, which means an instant game over on [[Hard Difficulty|Hard]] and ''[[Impoppable]]'', and a two hit on [[Easy Difficulty|Easy]] and [[Medium Difficulty|Medium]].

Despite being considerably easier to pop than its [[Massive Ornary Air Blimp (M.O.A.B.)|pare]][[Dark Dirigible Titan|nts]], [[Brutal Floating Behemoth (B.F.B.)|grandparent]], [[Zeppelin Of Mighty Gargantuaness (Z.O.M.G.)|great-grandparent]] and [[Big Airship of Doom|great-great-grandparent]], Ceramic Bloons are a serious threat in numbers that shouldn't be ignored. If the player has a large amount of potent towers, then Ceramic Bloons and their descendants aren't really a threat. However, popping many Ceramic Bloons without strong towers or many weaker towers is difficult. They can be a minor cause of lag to your computer or device. [[Monkey Glue|Glue]] can't slow them down (BTD4 and BTD5 Flash only), however [[Corrosive Glue]] can harm them and can crack the layers. There are many rounds in which Ceramic Bloons come in big groups (like 55, 63, 76, and 78), which can be extremely deadly without strong towers. If they come early, it can usually mean game over unless you manage to get strong towers. In BTD3, it's an instant game over on Medium and Hard - if it escapes.

}}'''Super Ceramics''' are a special type of Ceramic that appear starting in Bloons TD 5. They have increased health but spawn only one Rainbow Bloon. Their purpose is to reduce lag in freeplay mode while still granting as much cash as normal ceramics do.
  +
  +
They appear in Rounds 86+ in BTD5 and BTD5 Mobile, Rounds 30+ in BMC Flash and Mobile (this also applies to Boss Fights for the Flash version past boss level 30, although bugged to give less cash than normal), Rounds 35+ in BTDB Flash, Rounds 43+ in BTDB Mobile, and Rounds 81+ in BTD6.
  +
  +
In the BTD5 generation, Super Ceramics have 38 health. In BTD6, Super Ceramics have 60 health.
  +
  +
===Combat===
  +
Due to their high health but the lack of multiple children, towers with relatively low pierce but high stalling power or high damage are recommended. Although not so commonly encountered in BTD4 or BTD5, it is important to greatly consider countering these bloon types. Stalls such as [[Ice Tower]]s/[[Ice Monkey]]s, [[Summon Whirlwind]]/[[Druid of the Storm]], and [[Bloonjitsu]] + [[Distraction]] are among some of the useful towers for stalling Super Ceramics.
  +
  +
In BTD6, Super Ceramics must be encountered when attempting to complete [[Impoppable Difficulty (BTD6)|Impoppable Difficulty]] or [[C.H.I.M.P.S.]], and because of this, special strategies must be handled in preparation for these greatly reinforced bloons. It's worth noting that Super Ceramics spawn fewer bloons when the ceramic layer is broken. This feature gives an easier time for multiple 0-1-2 [[Ice Monkey]]s to handle Super Ceramics, although it will take a considerably long time before the extra hard shells crack into weakened versions of Rainbow Bloons. Super Ceramics are also easier to blow back from x/3/x [[Downdraft]] [[Heli Pilot]]s. [[Glue Gunner]]s, especially to the likes of the 5/x/x [[The Bloon Solver|Bloon Solver]] or the normally less powerful 0/3/2 [[Glue Hose]], will find it easier to handle them.

Enjoying the brown bloons? They're ceramic, so they take several hits to pop. They have rainbows in them too :)
~ Round 34 in Bloons Tower Defense 3
Ceramic Bloons are made of clay, and take 10 hits to destroy. They have 2 Rainbow Bloons inside them.
~ Bloons Tower Defense 5
Ceramic Bloons... They are armored and fast bloons. Be careful, they can't be popped so easily.
~ Bloons Tower Defense 6


The Ceramic Bloon (Originally known as the Brown Boon) is a Bloon introduced in Bloons TD 3.  That takes ten hits to pop. Once popped, it releases two Rainbow Bloons. In Bloons TD 6, it can appear as a fortified ceramic, adding 10 HP (114 RBE). In Bloons TD 3 it first appears in round 31. In Bloons TD 4 and Bloons TD 5 it first appears in round 40. In Bloons TD 6 it first appears on round 38. If a Ceramic Bloon escapes (regardless of health) 104 lives are lost, which means an instant game over on Hard and Impoppable, and a two hit on Easy and Medium.

Combat

Despite being considerably easier to pop than M.O.A.B. Class Bloons, Ceramic Bloons are a serious threat in numbers that shouldn't be ignored. If the player has a large amount of potent towers, then Ceramic Bloons and their descendants aren't really a threat. However, popping many Ceramic Bloons without strong towers or many weaker towers is difficult. They can be a minor cause of lag to your computer or device. Glue can't slow them down (BTD4 and BTD5 Flash only), however Corrosive Glue can harm them and can crack the layers.

There are many rounds in which Ceramic Bloons come in big groups (like 63, 76, and 78), which can be extremely deadly and dangerous without strong towers. If they come early, it can usually mean game over unless you manage to get strong towers. In BTD3, it's an instant game over on Medium and Hard - if it escapes.

In BTD6, some of the best counters to spaced Ceramic Bloons include 3/x/x Deadly Precision Sniper Monkeys, x/3/x Druids, and x/3/x Downdraft Heli Pilots. For grouped Ceramic Bloons, best counters include 2/3/0 Glue Hose, 4/0/2 MOAR Glaives, 0/3/2 Ice Monkeys, and multiple 0/1/2 Ice Monkeys.

Super Ceramics

Super Ceramics are a special type of Ceramic that appear starting in Bloons TD 5. They have increased health but spawn only one Rainbow Bloon. Their purpose is to reduce lag in freeplay mode while still granting as much cash as normal ceramics do.

They appear in Rounds 86+ in BTD5 and BTD5 Mobile, Rounds 30+ in BMC Flash and Mobile (this also applies to Boss Fights for the Flash version past boss level 30, although bugged to give less cash than normal), Rounds 35+ in BTDB Flash, Rounds 43+ in BTDB Mobile, and Rounds 81+ in BTD6.

In the BTD5 generation, Super Ceramics have 38 health. In BTD6, Super Ceramics have 60 health.

Combat

Due to their high health but the lack of multiple children, towers with relatively low pierce but high stalling power or high damage are recommended. Although not so commonly encountered in BTD4 or BTD5, it is important to greatly consider countering these bloon types. Stalls such as Ice Towers/Ice Monkeys, Summon Whirlwind/Druid of the Storm, and Bloonjitsu + Distraction are among some of the useful towers for stalling Super Ceramics.

In BTD6, Super Ceramics must be encountered when attempting to complete Impoppable Difficulty or C.H.I.M.P.S., and because of this, special strategies must be handled in preparation for these greatly reinforced bloons. It's worth noting that Super Ceramics spawn fewer bloons when the ceramic layer is broken. This feature gives an easier time for multiple 0-1-2 Ice Monkeys to handle Super Ceramics, although it will take a considerably long time before the extra hard shells crack into weakened versions of Rainbow Bloons. Super Ceramics are also easier to blow back from x/3/x Downdraft Heli Pilots. Glue Gunners, especially to the likes of the 5/x/x Bloon Solver or the normally less powerful 0/3/2 Glue Hose, will find it easier to handle them.

  • In BTD3 it was immune to freezing.
  • On Round Ramp tiles in BMC Mobile, Ceramic Bloons are generated with an RBE of 88, meaning more Ceramics can generate in a certain round than usual.
    • They still are normal after round generation.
  • When the ceramic layer of a Shielded Ceramic Bloon is popped on Bloons Super Monkey 2, its child doesn't appear to have the lightning symbol on it, unlike every other Shielded Bloon.
  • When in the process of destroying a Ceramic Bloon, only one Rainbow Bloon can be seen in the inside, despite the fact that two Rainbow Bloons come out of it.
  • When hit, they make a sound similar to that of a dart hitting a pot.
