Round 28
Round 28 in BTD6: 6 Lead Bloons, 138 RBE. The first lead round, why sharp towers fail and the best ways to pop leads.
Guide
Round 28 sends 6 Lead Bloons in five seconds. It is the first lead round in normal play, and leads are immune to sharp damage, so darts, tacks, spikes and boomerangs bounce off them. Each lead pops into two blacks, which are in turn immune to explosions, so a defence needs to handle both properties. The round totals 138 RBE.

How to beat round 28
Bring at least one tower that can damage Lead and keep your sharp towers for the black and pink children.
- Bomb Shooter: explosions pop leads easily. Watch out for the black children, which bombs cannot pop.
- Mortar Monkey: also explosive, and it can be placed anywhere on the map.
- Sniper Monkey 1-0-0: Full Metal Jacket lets the sniper pop lead.
- Wizard Monkey 0-1-0: the Fireball upgrade pops lead. A basic wizard bolt does not.
- Boomerang Monkey 0-0-2: Red Hot Rangs lets boomerangs pop lead.
- Tack Shooter 3-0-0: Hot Shots turns tacks into fire that pops lead.
Pair the lead-popper with a sharp tower so the blacks from each lead are cleaned up. The classic failure is a bomb-only defence: the bombs pop the leads but then cannot touch the blacks.
In CHIMPS, place the lead answer before you start the round, since the leads arrive together and leave quickly.
Alternate Bloons Rounds
ABR round 28 has the same 6 leads, but they are Regrow Leads. A lead-popper that only damages them once can let them grow back from black to lead, so give it support nearby.
- 6 × Regrow Lead Bloon (0.0s–5.0s)
ABR total: 6 bloons, 138 RBE.
