Explosion (referred to as explosive in Bloons TD 5 and Bloons Pop!) is a damage type introduced in Bloons Tower Defense, and it has appeared in every Bloons TD game since. It is defined as the damage type of attacks unable to pop Black Bloon properties, including Zebra Bloons and DDTs. Other than those three bloon types, it can pop all bloon types.
