Purple Bloons contain 2 Pink Bloons, are fast AND are immune to all energy, fire, and plasma type effects.
~ Message upon first encounter (BTD6)

The Purple Bloon is a Bloon first introduced in Bloons TD 6, making its first appearance on Round 25 in that game. It also appears in Bloons Adventure Time TD, Bloons Pop!, and Bloons TD Battles 2. It has immunity to energy, plasma, and fire effects, is almost as fast as a Pink Bloon, is a parent of two pink bloons, and has an RBE of 11. It could be compared to the White Bloon and Black Bloon for its immunity to certain attacks; however, unlike them, the Purple Bloon has no parent bloon. It could also be considered the inverse of the Lead Bloon, which is immune to sharp objects, as well as the successor to Bloons Super Monkey 2's Glass Bloon, which is immune to energy attacks.

Description[]

Bloons TD 6[]

Purple Bloons normally first appear on Round 25 and make further appearance in later rounds. Purple Bloons are immune to most forms of energy, magic, and fire. Almost the speed of a Pink Bloon, moving at a speed of 3 relative to a Red Bloon, compared to 3.5 for the Pink Bloon.

Bloons TD Battles 2[]

Purple Bloons can be sent starting from Round 8. Spaced Purples cost $70 and give 3.3 eco (4 prior to Version 1.6.0, 3.5 prior to Version 1.7.1) per slot, each slot sending 4 Purples with wide spacing. Grouped Purples replace the Spaced Purples option on Round 11, and cost $115 for 4 densely packed Purples, but gives only 2.9 eco. The option to directly send Purples never disappears once unlocked.

Natural Purples start appearing on Round 16.

Purple Bloons move at a base speed of 85, equal to 3.4 RBS.

Bloons Pop![]

Strategies[]

Although the Purple Bloon can be easily popped during early rounds, it can be quite dangerous during late rounds, especially on Round 95, where massive amounts of MOAB-Class Bloons appear and the player begins to rely on powerful towers that mainly use energy, fire, and plasma attacks, which the Purple Bloon is immune to. As a result, a group of Purple Bloons can pass through a player's defenses uncontested, and cause the player to lose. Spike Factories could be used to block any Purple Bloons from escaping the player's defenses without trouble as they never utilize such attacks. Monkey Intelligence Bureau is also helpful for allowing towers to pop Purple Bloons.

In Bloons TD Battles 2, grouped purple rushes on Round 11 or camo purples on Round 12 are some of the most commonly used rushes, as purple bloons move really fast and have a handful of immunities. Purples can also be used for layered rushes with Lead bloons, to render many high-pierce non-AoE projectiles useless, e.g. Wall of Fire, Blade Shooter, etc.

Trivia[]

  • The Purple Bloon has the least RBE of any bloon that can spawn in Freeplay Rounds.
    • Purples in Freeplay are stacked on top of each other, making them harder to handle without the right upgrades in play.
      • However, in later rounds in Freeplay mode, Purple Bloons will eventually stop spawning for several rounds. In versions before 11.0, the Purple Bloon clusters stop spawning on round 151, in version 11.0 it stops on round 121.
      • Purples in Apopalypse/ABR Freeplay will always spawn in groups of 1110, or 555 for Camo variants.
        • As of 26.0 update, they only occur on limited rounds in normal gameplay. The last purple bloon group spawns on round 132.
        • For every game from rounds 6-140, you can pop 2,874 purple bloons in total, which completes 2.87% of 'Red and Blue makes...' achievements.
  • Fortified Purple Bloons can also appear in Freeplay rounds, making them the only Bloon that can be applied the Fortified property outside Sandbox.
    • Fortified Purple Bloons were removed in the 2.0 update due to the Fortified ability to Purple Bloons being "useless and unintentional".
      • However, the Fortified property did give an extra layer protection to the Purples, making an RBE of 12 for a Fortified Purple.
  • The Purple Bloon has a cyan-colored outline, which might be what is used to act as a shield to energy attacks.
  • Purple Bloons were the last color of the rainbow to be introduced into a bloons game.
    • Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow bloons were introduced in Bloons, and Orange in Bloons Pop 3.
  • In Bloons Adventure Time TD, a farming method known as Purple Bloon Farming exists.
  • On rounds 81-132 in BTD6, Purple Bloons will only spawn one Pink Bloon when popped instead of two.
  • The Purple Bloon is the only non-MOAB class bloon to be unable to have the Ghost Bloon trait in BATTD, due to the ghost trait being unable to be hit by physical attacks, whilst purple can't be hit by non-physical attacks. This makes the bloon impossible to hit without certain attacks like Princess Bubblegum and Ice King's attacks or most other character's attacks paired with late game trinkets like Dagger of Chilled Glass or Robo-Monkey Visor.
