Example defense in Bloons TD 6 with Dart Monkeys upgraded to Tier 3
Upgrades are purchasable enhancements that empower an existing tower. Most upgrades are bought with in-game cash. Most upgrades enhance the overall power of the tower or add new perks that can increase the potential of an existing defense. Some upgrades also add special abilities that can be activated on-demand. Certain upgrades may require special conditions in order to be purchasable, such as buying a previous upgrade of a certain path (e.g. in BTD6, Razor Sharp Shots requires Sharp Shots), or needing a specific tower nearby (e.g. in BATTD, Finn's Brofist requires Jake nearby). With some exceptions, all upgrades inherit their previous upgrades (e.g. MIB in BTD6 still has the upgrades of Radar Scanner and Grow Blocker) with the inherited upgrades referred to as built-in upgrades, as they require to be purchased before the desired upgrade is available.
Structure[]
Upgrade structure of a Dart Monkey in Bloons TD 6, excluding Paragons (which merges successors of Tier 5 upgrades)
In most games, tower upgrades are constructed in a linear or multi-linear progression of upgrades. Of those games that use a multi-linear progression of upgrades, most towers offer upgrade paths that each can be unlocked up to a certain amount of tiers. For example, in Bloons TD 6, there are 3 upgrade paths, each of which can go up to 5 tiers, plus one additional tier shared by successors of the fifth tier called Paragons. However, some games offer a very different upgrade system, a notable example being Bloons Adventure Time TD, in which all Characters use an integrated-path upgrade system and all Allies use a single-path upgrade system.
In games with a multi-linear progression of upgrades, each tower has a number of Upgrade Paths and Upgrade Tiers.
Terminology[]
Basic terminology:
- Path X: "Path X" specifies the upgrade path of the tower, where X is a whole number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.). The top-most path is referred as Path 1, and any paths lower down are each referred with a higher integer.
- Note: On Bloons Wiki, some pages may "Top Path", "Middle Path", and "Bottom Path" instead of "Path X", to better reflect community and official developer terminology.
- Tier X: "Tier X" specifies the tier of an upgrade path, where X is a natural integer (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.). The first upgrade of a path is referred as the Tier 1 upgrade. Successors of the first upgrade are each referred with a higher integer.
- Crosspath: Crosspaths are upgrades that have been purchased along separate paths. For further information, refer to Crosspathing.
Extra terminology:
- Upper Path X: On Bloons Wiki, "Upper Path X" specifies upgrades of at least Tier 3 along a specified upgrade path, where X is a natural integer (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) and determines the path of the tower. For instance, Upper Path 2 Dart Monkeys in Bloons TD 6 would refer to Triple Shot, Super Monkey Fan Club, and Plasma Monkey Fan Club.
- Lower Path X: On Bloons Wiki, "Lower Path X" specifies upgrades up to Tier 2 along a specified upgrade path, where X is a natural integer (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) and determines the path of the tower. For instance, Lower Path 2 Dart Monkeys in Bloons TD 6 would refer to Quick Shots and Very Quick Shots.
Community Terminology:
- "Stepping Stone" is a term to refer to upgrades that are only bought soley so that the player can progress through an upgrade path and is almost never solely relied on for a defense. These upgrades tend to be at least moderately-priced tier 3 upgrades and up and (usually) not very good upgrades themselves. Examples include but are not limited to, in no particular order:
- "Falling off" or "Fall off" are terms for upgrades whose power diminishes due to it being overwhelmed by the general strength of the Bloons thus rendering them more useless in their job. While it can happen anywhere in a game, (generally at the sole blimp rounds) this notably happens after Round 80, since this is when ceramics, already the most dangerous regular bloon, becomes much stronger, (specifically 60 health) and only get faster. This massive boost in health and speed spells the death to their usefulness, as they have more health to speed past the large pierce towers typically have. The most notable casualties of this transition are M.O.A.R Glaives, Bloontonium Reactor and Crossbow Master.
In Bloons TD 5[]
Upgrade lineages of the Spike Factory tower.
In Bloons TD 5 and other games in the Bloons TD 5 Generation, there are two separate paths and four upgrades on each of those paths. The left path is usually referred to in-game as Path 1, while the right path is usually referred to as Path 2. Upgrades of the paths are called tiers (or levels as per the tower information button in the flash version). After buying the 3rd tier of a path, the other 3rd tier becomes locked and cannot be obtained unless sold or another tower of the same type is bought.
Path 1 is usually oriented around adding new mechanics for a tower. For example, the tier 3 upgrade on Path 1 for the Boomerang Thrower, Glaive Ricochet, allows the boomerang to hit bloons by bouncing rather than hitting them in a curved direction. The next upgrade, Glaive Lord, adds another new mechanic; 2 spinning glaives permanently orbit the tower. Projectiles may change with tier 3 or 4 upgrades too.
Path 2 is usually oriented around a Special Ability. Path 2 upgrades usually don't change the tower's mechanics, and all Path 2 tier 4 upgrades have abilities (except the Banana Farm). For example, the tier 4 upgrade on Path 2 for the Monkey Ace, Ground Zero, does not change anything for the previous upgrade, Operation: Dart Storm, except gain the Ground Zero Ability; it still functions in the exact same way as Operation: Dart Storm otherwise. Operation: Dart Storm also increases the pierce and projectile amount of the Monkey Ace, not changing or adding any new mechanics to the tower.
A few towers, such as the Mortar Tower and the Ice Tower, do not follow these patterns with their upgrades though.
Price Upgrade Index[]
The Price Upgrade Index, or PUI, is a way of finding out how much an upgrade is worth compared to its cost. The formula for the index is Cost / Upgrade Stat. What the resulting value gives is how much it costs per 1 unit of that stat. Case in point, say a monkey's upgrade costs $500 for 5 pierce. $500 / 5 = $100 for 1 pierce, or $100 per pierce. Now imagine another monkey's upgrade that costs $1000 for 20 pierce. $1000 / 20 = $50 per pierce. The second monkey's upgrade thus has more value than the first because it gives less cost per pierce. More information about PUI and how towers are ranked by it can be found on the BTD General Strategies guide.
Upgrades[]
Bloons TD 6[]
Below are a list of upgrades in BTD6. Open a section to read more about each tower and their upgrades. Hover over the image to read the official description of the selected upgrade. Click on the hyperlink of the selected upgrade name to read more information of that particular upgrade.
Note 1: Upgrades prices are valid as of Version 43.0. All descriptions are valid as of Version 43.0 (Heroes updated as of Version 43.0). Prices are shown in Medium Difficulty. Also, this does not account for external discounts such as with Monkey Knowledge or other sources.
Note 2: When accounting for rounding due to cost modifiers (e.g. Easy, Hard, Impoppable) all upgrade costs will round to the nearest 5 but also less than or equal to 2.5 rounds down and greater than or equal to 7.5 rounds up; this isn't the same for tower base costs.

Disclaimers[]
Dart Monkey
- The Spike-o-Pult description is mentioning projectile range and not attack range.
- Juggernaut actually has limited pierce, 100 to be exact.
- The Super Monkey Fan Club ability includes the monkey using it as well, so it affects 9 Dart Monkeys in radius.
Tack Shooter
- Each blade in the Blade Maelstrom ability has 2 pierce, so they are technically not unstoppable.
Sniper Monkey
- The "multiple shots" text in the Semi-Automatic Rifle description is likely there for flavor, as the upgrade does nothing but increase speed.
Boomerang Thrower
- The Bionic Boomer actually attacks 4x as fast rather than 2x as fast.
Ninja Monkey
- None
Bomb Tower
- None
Ice Tower
- None
Monkey Buccaneer
- None
Monkey Ace
- None
Super Monkey
- The Laser Blasts upgrade's projectiles count as one, unlike mobile versions where they count as two.
- The Super Range and Epic Range upgrades increase range.
Monkey Apprentice
- Summon Whirlwind and Tempest Tornado do not remove glue status from bloons; only ice effects are.
- The Intense Magic upgrade increases pierce too.
Monkey Village
- In the Monkey Fort description, "popping power" means pierce.
- In the Call to Arms ability description, "popping power" means pierce.
Banana Farm
- Each banana in the "Valuable Bananas" upgrade gives $30 cash.
Mortar Tower
- Despite what the Pop and Awe ability description says, it can affect all MOAB-class bloons.
Dartling Gun
- The Focused Firing upgrade is not a nerf; it increases the accuracy of the tower by making the dart stream more linear.
- The second sentence of the Hydra Rocket Pods description is likely there for flavor, since the upgrade can already pop black bloons from the previous tier, Depleted Bloontonium Darts.
- The Bloon Area Denial System upgrade's first description sentence means that it now shoots three rockets instead of one.
Spike Factory
- None
Monkey Sub
- None

Spike Factory
- None
Monkey Engineer
- Bloon Traps hold up to 500 bloons.
- Overclock doubles a tower's attack speed.
Bloonchipper
- Triple Barrel upgrade makes tower attack speed 3x as fast; Supa-Vac is 4x as fast.
- Heavy Duty Function only allows for lead bloon sucking; no heavier bloons since the tower can already suck ceramics and can't suck MOABs until the final left path upgrade, Super Wide Funnel.

Disclaimers[]
Dart Monkey
- The Juggernaut has 100 pierce.
- The Super Monkey Fan Club ability includes the monkey using it as well, so it affects 9 Dart Monkeys in radius.
Tack Shooter
- None
Sniper Monkey
- The "multiple shots" text in the Semi-Automatic Rifle description is likely there for flavor, as the upgrade does nothing but increase speed.
Boomerang Thrower
- The Bionic Boomer actually attacks with quadruple the speed rather twice the speed as the previous upgrade.
Ninja Monkey
- None
Bomb Tower
- None
Ice Tower
- None
Monkey Buccaneer
- None
Monkey Ace
- None
Super Monkey
- The Laser Blasts upgrade's projectiles count as two, essentially double the Super Monkey's attack input. This does not affect the Robo Monkey.
- The Super Range and Epic Range upgrades increase range.
- The Technological Terror's ability can destroy many bloons instantly, with the exception of the ZOMG.
Monkey Apprentice
- The Intense Magic upgrade increases pierce too.
Monkey Village
- In the Monkey Fort description, "popping power" means pierce.
Banana Farm
- Each banana in the "Valuable Bananas" upgrade gives $60 cash.
Mortar Tower
- For The Big One upgrade, the damage is 5 in both versions, making the steam version of the description incorrect.
Dartling Gun
- The Focused Firing upgrade is not a nerf; it increases the accuracy of the tower by making the dart stream more linear.
Spike Factory
- None
Heli Pilot
- Crates from the Support Chinook Upgrade either drop lives or cash each time the ability is used.
- The Apache Dartship upgrade significantly increases the attack speed of dart attacks; quad darts included.
Monkey Engineer
- Bloon Traps hold up to 500 bloons.
- Overclock doubles a tower's attack speed.
Bloonchipper
- Triple Barrel upgrade makes tower attack speed 3x as fast; Supa-Vac is 4x as fast.
- Heavy Duty Function only allows for lead bloon sucking; no heavier bloons since the tower can already suck ceramics and can't suck MOABs until the final left path upgrade, Super Wide Funnel.
Monkey Sub
- None

Trivia[]
- According to Jake the Dog in Bloons Adventure Time TD, upgrading gives a tickling sensation. Sauda from Bloons TD 6 also reports a tickling sensation upon leveling up.
- In BTD6, a purchased upgrade is referred as "Owned".
- In BTD6, the following are the only Tier 3 upgrades whose upgrade prices alone cost the same as their BTD5 counterpart: Double Shot, Cluster Bombs, Monkey Town, and Razor Rotors.
- According to Ninja Kiwi's 15th March 2024 blog, upgrade descriptions of each tower and their upgrades are written by all types of monkeys. In their words, they describe this as a sort of "big potluck everyone brings a plate and sits around coming up with the best descriptions".
