Unsubmerged Submerge Sub
Submerge and Support is the 3rd upgrade on Path 1 of the Monkey Sub in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart, revealing Camo Bloons in its radius permanently. The only major difference besides a higher cost is that pulses benefit from all crosspaths. Pulse pierce is 75.
Path 3 crosspathing decreases cooldown by 0.85x with Twin Guns and an additional 0.75x on top with Airburst Darts. Barbed Darts and Heat-tipped Darts increase pulse pierce by +20% (90) and +50% (112.5), respectively.
The base price for Submerge and Support is $950, and is unlocked with the purchase of Monkey Sub.
Strategy[]
Summary[]
Its low-cost decamo makes it reliable against camo bloons, taking out grouped camos and spaced camos reliably provided its decamo refreshes again.
Tips[]
- There is no point going the middle path with Submerge and Support unless going for 4-2-0. 3-x-x already decamos Leads and Purples, and most use cases don't usually have a pierce problem with the decamo.
- 3-0-1 is respectable against Camo Regrow Purples, but 3-0-2 offers the highest reliability against those types.
Version History[]
Submerge and Support's cheap decamo makes the Sub a popular option in loadouts that require camo detection. This is particularly useful in loadouts such as Bomb-Farm-Sub.

| “ | Monkey Sub has consistently been dominant in meta, with its incredibly cheap Submerge and Support upgrade being one of its strong points, efficiently nullifying all camo rushes. We also like the idea of camo rushes being more prevalent against decamo towers, therefore we have drastically reduced the pierce of Monkey Sub’s decamo sonar attack, potentially opening up room for camo rushes against it. | ” |

- 3.3
- 3-0-0 Submerge and Support decamo pierce reduced from 100 to 75
- 3-1-0 Submerge and Support decamo pierce reduced from 120 to 90
- 3-2-0 Submerge and Support decamo pierce reduced from 150 to 112.5
| “ | Sub still remains incredibly dominant. We previously lowered the decamo pierce and we do like the idea of making decamo options less reliable, but the change wasn’t significant enough and so we are lowering the pierce even further. With 3xx being less reliable now, this makes 4xx a more appealing option and so we have slightly bumped up its cost with that in mind. [...] | ” |

Trivia[]
- Submerge and Support is the cheapest decamo in the whole game, second to Counter-Espionage, even after the price nerf to Submerge and Support. Third-cheapest belongs to Cleansing Foam.
- Since the BTD6 Version 32.0 counterpart removed infinite decamo pierce of the Submerge Sub, and also diverged off the BTD6 Version 28.0 counterpart, the BTDB2 counterpart had left out that balance change until 3.3.
- This makes the Submerge and Support the first tower, alongside its upgrades, in BTDB2 to lose infinite pierce in some capacity.
