Restoration is a Relic Knowledge exclusive to Contested Territory in Bloons TD 6. When active, 10 lives regenerate per round if no lives are lost, up to 150 above starting amount.

Strategy

Summary

Restoration is an incredibly strong Relic if it can be used correctly, as one of the best life-specific Relics out there. It is slower at regenerating lives compared to Regeneration, but it provides a much stronger life gain that is comparable to one-and-a-half Box of Chocolates at best.

Tips

• If there is a choice between Restoration and Regeneration, Restoration provides the superior long-term regeneration benefits, so it is usually the best option.
• Ezili's Sacrificial Totem currently does not count as a delay for life restoration, only if bloons are leaked.
• Like Regeneration, Restoration can backfire with Heart of Vengeance strategies, as replenishing lives reverts the attack speed benefit that xx2 druid provides after leaking lives. This means that if Restoration is a featured relic, purchasing it can backfire on tiles with druids enabled.

Trivia

• Prior to stackable Relics of same type getting patched in Version 33.0, Restoration's interactions with stacking only affects the regeneration portion. With multiple Restorations, it can stack regeneration effects but not the bonus starting life cap. This lack of stackable Relics was patched in Version 34.0, although there is currently no case of double Restoration after that version.
