~ BTDB2 description
1-1-0 Grow Blocker
Grow Blocker is the 1st upgrade on Path 2 of the Monkey Village in Bloons TD Battles 2. It causes up to 200 Regrow Bloons (including Camo Regrow Bloons) to stop regenerating within the radius of the Village. Once bloons exit the radius, they are affected for another three seconds before they will start being able to regen again. Affected bloons have a red pulsating outline of the bloon, signaling the Monkey Village's effect.
Can be used to block growth of Regrows, weakening effectiveness of Regrow rushes by the opponent. As it has low range, this is best placed on tight areas, such as below of the intersection of Star. Otherwise, Grow Blocker is a stepping stone for Radar Scanner and a cheap and easy way to lock in the middle path for further upgrades.
Tips[]
Grow Blocker is somewhat map-dependent, given its low range and high cost. It works great on Star, particularly for the Tack-Glue-Village loadout that relies on 2-3-0 Glue Hose to slow and chip the layers of incoming mid-game bloon rushes.
The high 200 pierce of the Grow Blocker shouldn't matter in most situations except versus Tight Regrow Lead or Tight Regrow Ceramic rushes; most defenses should be able to sufficiently damage bloons quick enough to fully pop the Regrow Bloons before the Grow Blocker gets overwhelmed.
