| “ | All attacks do +1 damage to Ceramic Bloons | ” |
| ~ In-game description |
Hard Baked is a Relic Knowledge exclusive to Contested Territory in Bloons TD 6. When active, it lets all attacks deal +1 damage to Ceramic Bloons. This also applies to Dreadbloon's Ceramic layers.
Strategy[]
Summary[]
Dealing more damage to Ceramic makes it easier to break down Ceramics. It has relatively strong usage during the mid-game to penetrate deeper into Ceramics, or in the late-game to more reliably destroy Super Ceramics. It also helps break apart Dreadbloon's Ceramic layers.
Tips[]
- This Relic's increased Ceramic effects can stack with already existing sources of bonus Ceramic damage from tower upgrades (such as Juggernaut or Deadly Precision) or via Monkey Knowledge (such as
Breaking Ballistic). - Like all raw damage increases, it greatly benefits towers that have low damage and either high pierce (in race environments) or high amounts of attack speed/projectiles. For least cash/tiers, this relic is most noticeable against Super Ceramics, although normal ceramics are also affected.
- Be careful when enabling Hard Baked for towers that possess high damage but low pierce, particularly those that rely on chipping careful damage onto bloons. This is especially problematic for Sharp Shooter, which relies on chipping Ceramics into Black and White layers.
- Some towers greatly struggle against Super Ceramics compared to normal Ceramics, one notable example being Plasma Accelerator. This is where Hard Baked will make a considerable difference for cleanup against Super Ceramics.

Trivia[]
- Like all extra damage Relics, Hard Baked as an event relic stacks with the equippable Hard Baked relic; this scenario could occur in the 13th and 14th Contested Territory events.
