Changes: Pink Bloon

Revision as of 19:03, 7 June 2014

“	Pink bloons are bigger than yellows because you guessed it… they contain a yellow.	”
	^{~ Round 15 in Bloons Tower Defense 4}

The Pink Bloon is the fifth type of bloon encountered in Bloons Tower Defense 4, Bloons TD 4 Expansion, Bloons Tower Defense 5 and Bloons TD 5 Deluxe. It first appeared in Bloons Tower Defense 4 and became the parent of the Yellow Bloon instead of the Black Bloon and White Bloon. This is rather strange as Pink Bloons then became Black and White Bloon's children. It first appears in Round 15, and is faster than all the other bloons. When it and all its children are popped, it yields a total of 5 Money and 10 in Double Cash Mode. It is the fastest of all of the bloons in the entire BTD series, tied with the D.D.T.

Combat

Their speed can be dropped down to that of a Red/Blue Bloon with Monkey Glue or a Glue Gunner. However, spaced pinks in the early rounds can be as annoying as B.F.B.s to some people. Bomb Towers frequently miss them, but missiles don't as often. Also, in the early rounds, you typically don't have a solid defense, or you're farming, which directs less money towards defenses. You need a fast tower to pop them, but a Pink Bloon can outspeed a Super Monkey without any upgrades in BTD5 or even a Sun God in BTD4. Their speed is about 3.66 inches per second.

However, in BTD5, grouped pinks are actually far less of a threat than spaced pinks as there is no space between them for towers to miss. Additionally, higher-ranked bloons, which contain pinks, start to appear later on. This means that having fast-attacking towers is almost required, to pop all the bloons completely and quickly before the pinks inside get too far, especially on short, difficult tracks, like Bloontonium Lab and Down the Drain.

Sniper Monkeys are good to pick off early pinks, as they never miss Bloons no matter how fast the Bloons are moving. However, as rounds go on, and higher-ranked bloons come out, more Snipers may be needed. For instance, if a bunch of random towers pop many Black Bloons, it releases many Pink Bloons. But if several Snipers get some good shots off of them, they can strip them down to Yellow Bloons and below, effectively "skipping" the pink layer, and being beneficial to other towers.

Pink Bloons are the fastest type of Bloon in the BTD series, traveling at 11 bps.
Pink Bloons were one of the Bloons first introduced in BTD4.
Because they move really fast, they can easily slip through most defenses. Using towers that attack fast is highly recommended.
In BTD5, Sun Gods will usually miss pink bloons if the pink bloons are spaced out as they are in many of the levels that you see them in.
- Though by the time you get a Sun God, you are probably already dealing with stronger bloons.
Towers can miss them, which can be very unpleasant to watch, so use a Glue Gunner or an Ice Tower for support.
Monkey Apprentices with the Lightning Bolt upgrade and Spike Factories are useful to pop Pink Bloons.
Since this bloon is one of the fastest of all bloons, towers may miss them.
Pink Bloons make an appearance in Bloons Super Monkey and takes 5 hits to pop, just like in BTD4 and BTD5.
In a few levels in BTD5, there is a steady stream of pink bloons.
In BTD4, a pink can escape through a pile of 5 spikes despite having only 5 layers, such as from the Spike Factory.
Pink Bloons appear in Bloons 2 Spring Fling as normal Bloons, which take 1 hit to pop.
Bloonjitsu, The Big One, Temple of The Monkey God Sun Rays, Point Five Oh Snipers, and Bloon Liquifier are towers that can one-shot a Pink Bloon.
