Round 24
Round 24 in BTD6: the first Camo Bloon plus 20 Blues, 43 RBE. Why it ends so many games and the cheapest camo detection to bring.
Guide
Round 24 looks harmless: one Camo Green Bloon at the very start, then 20 Blue Bloons. The total is just 43 RBE. The problem is that the green is camo, and towers without camo detection cannot see it at all. It is the first camo bloon in normal rounds, and it is the reason many first-time players lose lives on round 24. In CHIMPS and Impoppable, where you have one life, that single bloon ends the run.
Bloons in round 24
- 1 × Camo Green Bloon (at 0.0s)
- 20 × Blue Bloon (3.0s–9.0s)
Total: 21 bloons worth 43 RBE. Popping everything pays $43, plus the $124 end-of-round bonus.
How to beat round 24
You need one source of camo detection that can hit the green before it exits. Damage does not matter, since the green only has three layers.
- Ninja Monkey: sees camo from the moment you place it and is cheap. The most common answer.
- Dart Monkey 0-0-2: the Enhanced Eyesight upgrade adds camo detection.
- Wizard Monkey 0-0-2: Monkey Sense adds camo detection to the wizard.
- Sniper Monkey 0-1-0: Night Vision Goggles let a sniper see camo from anywhere on the map.
- Monkey Village 0-2-0: Radar Scanner gives camo detection to every tower in its radius. Expensive this early, but it solves camo for the rest of the game.
Spike Factory spikes and Mortar shells also hit camo bloons, so they work if you already have them. Check whether your hero detects camo before you rely on it. Place the camo answer near the entrance, because the green spawns at the very start of the round.
The 20 blues are trivial for any defence.
Alternate Bloons Rounds
ABR round 24 is a single Camo Lead Bloon. It needs both camo detection and a damage type that pops lead. A Mortar Monkey handles both, as does a Sniper Monkey with 1-1-0 (Full Metal Jacket plus Night Vision Goggles) or a Wizard Monkey with 0-1-2 (Fireball plus Monkey Sense).
- 1 × Camo Lead Bloon (at 0.0s)
ABR total: 1 bloons, 23 RBE.
