''Bloons Tower Defense Battles'' (a.k.a. ''Bloons TD Battles'' or ''BTD Battles'') is a spinoff of the ''Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense'' series centered around PlayerVersusPlayer. The goal depends on the game mode: First, there's '''Assault''', in which you can send bloons at your opponents to defeat them or at least boost your income. Second, there's '''Defensive''', where you simply focus on building a better defense then your opponent, but with reduced income.

The game is available on [[https://ninjakiwi.com/games/tower-defense/play/bloons-td-battles.html#.WevuzY-PKW8 Ninja Kiwi's site]], the [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bloons-td-battles/id624533261?mt=8 iOS]] and Android app stores, and [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/444640/Bloons_TD_Battles/Steam Steam]]. The latter three versions add a few game modes and such to the mix:
* Battle arenas, in which both players pay a number of medallions to enter and the winner takes all.
* 5 unique Club game rules, any 3 of which can be combined in one game.
** A CardBattleGame-style mode in which each card has a tower with preset upgrades and a preset bloon send.
* Practice Mode, which is like the above Defensive mode, but it is played solo and powerups lack a battle energy cost.
The mobile and Steam versions also have a "Battles TV" feature that records every match and posts the replays for everyone to see.

Most of the tropes in this game are listed in the Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense series, but this page is for the unique examples in ''Battles''.

!!Tropes present in ''Bloons Tower Defense Battles'':

* BilingualBonus: The map "Wizard's Keep", one of two released in the 3.10 Halloween update for the Mobile and Steam ports, has Latin text inscribed on it. When translated, it effectively means, "And the monkeys will win. We cannot be beaten."
** The inscription's "Potteris" is actually a typo. It's supposed to be "Poteris".
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs:
** Round 8 unlocks the ability to send [[RegeneratingHealth Regen bloons]] at a 1.5x cost multiplier. Round 12 unlocks the ability to send ''[[InvisibleMonsters camo]]'' bloons at a ''3x'' cost multiplier. Money not a problem? You can send ''camo regen'' rushes at your opponents!
* DifficultyByAcceleration: At round 32 or so, all bloons gain a speed boost each round
** {{Exaggerated|Trope}} in the Mobile/Steam versions with club gamemodes, all of which have specific conditions that apply to both players. '''''Any three of these five modes''''' can be combined for a unique Battles experience. The modes are:
*** Play with Fire: income boost from sent bloons are doubled, but bloons are sent to ''both sides.''
*** Random Trio: both players get the same, randomly selected loadout.
*** Mega Boosts: tower boost upgrades towers once-per-use for free; bloon boost upgrades ''all bloons'' on opponent's side by 1.
*** Speed Battle: all bloons are faster and can be sent earlier
*** Banana Bonanza: all income sources (farms, bloon income, etc.) are doubled.
* BribingYourWayToVictory:
** The Flash version has a store with stuff you can buy using Ninja Kiwi coins, including energy potions, energy {{cap}} boosters, bonus medallions, and instant access to all towers and upgrades.
** The Mobile and Steam ports also have purchasable battle energy and medallions, but they
* CoolGate: The bloons' entrance in the above Wizard's Keep map.
* EasterEgg: in the Flash version, hovering your mouse pointer over the monkeys that appear above the title give each one its own action:
** The sniper monkey loads his rifle and fires it once every few seconds.
** The supermonkey fires his EyeBeams continuously.
** The ninja monkey vanishes and is replaced with a log.
* FourIsDeath: Round 4 is when spaced pinks are unlocked. They can kill or at least severely damage an unprepared player due to their speed and spacing.
* FunWithAcronyms:
** The popular ('''R'''egen) '''R'''ainbow '''R'''ush '''o'''f '''D'''oom.
** The COBRA tower. Its name stands for '''C'''overt-'''O'''ps '''B'''attles '''R'''esponse '''A'''gent.
* GameMod: Several Website/{{YouTube}}rs have created and distributed mods (some now discontinued) for the Steam version, much like with, ''Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense 5'', only more so nowadays.
** ''[[XtremeKoolLetterz Bloonz]] Reborn'' by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZRm5tzMNwGX-kxZeuwRtKQ BTD Blaze It]], which balances out all towers and upgrades so that anything is viable and the presence of a meta is minimized.

** [=RanDumb's=] ''4/4 Towers'' mod, which adds 3rd- and 4th-tier upgrade combinations to all towers except the monkey sub, engineer, bloonchipper, heli pilot, and supermonkey.

That isn't all the mod has!
** GamePlaysItself: Like in ''Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense 5'', rounds advance automatically, meaning that a good defense can lead to this, although increasingly difficult bloons mean it can only last so long without manual intervention.
* LimitedLoadout: You are only allowed 4 unique towers to any match. However, you can place as many of each tower type as you can afford and fit on the map.
** You can spend extra Battle Energy for a ''fifth'' tower, particularly useful if you plan to play a long game!
** The Mobile and Steam versions restrict you to 3 towers instead, with the option to roll a ''random'' fourth tower. Some {{GameMod}}s have since turned this "random bonus tower" feature into a regular 4th tower slot.
* PlayerVersusPlayer: Of course. You battle other players and can choose either to be able to send extra bloons to put the pressure on them to defend, or simply outlast them in defensive game.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Round 13 is when grouped rainbow bloons are unlocked. Cue the [[FunWithAcronyms Rainbow Rush of Doom (RRoD)]]!
** Even worse, the Regen modifier and/or Camo modifier (unlocked on rounds 8 and 12, as above) can be applied, creating an ''even'' '''''deadlier''''' ''rush'' for this point in the game!
*** However, applying both is ''super'' expensive (costlier than sending a [[BossInMookClothing BFB]] 7 rounds later!), meaning that it's really only viable on Mega Boosts and/or Bananza mentioned above.
* WeakButSkilled: The COBRA tower in the Mobile/Steam versions has a slow attack speed, can't detect camo normally, and short range (although it pops two layers per shot similarly to a vanilla Sniper Monkey and can increase firing speed with a tier 1 upgrade). However, it can give you free money similar to a farm, make your opponent's bloons stronger, reduce the cool-down for tower boosts and bloon upgrades, steal your opponent's lives, (which used to be able to kill them before being {{nerf}}ed), and allow you to send powerful bloons earlier then your opponent, and send any bloon up to [[BossInMookClothing M.O.A.B.s and B.F.B.s]] from your side to your opponent's. Also, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking it doesn't cost very much]], so they can quickly turn into GodDamnedBats if used correctly.

'''Bloons Tower Defense Battles''' (a.k.a. ''Bloons TD Battles or ''BTD Battles'')is a spinoff of the ''Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense'' series centered around PlayerVersusPlayer. The goal depends on the game mode:
* '''Assault:''' you can send bloons at your opponents to defeat them or at least boost your income, or
* '''Defensive:''' you simply focus on building a better defense then your opponent, but with reduced income.

The game is available on [[https://ninjakiwi.com/games/tower-defense/play/bloons-td-battles.html#.WevuzY-PKW8 Ninja Kiwi's site]], the [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bloons-td-battles/id624533261?mt=8 iOS]] and Android app stores, and [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/444640/Bloons_TD_Battles/Steam. The latter three versions add a few game modes and such to the mix:
* Battle arenas, in which both players pay a number of medallions to enter and the winner takes all.
* 5 unique Club game rules, any 3 of which can be combined in one game.
** A CardBattle-style mode in which each card has a tower with preset upgrades and a preset bloon send.
* Practice, which is like the above Defensive mode, but it is played solo and powerups lack a battle energy cost.
The mobile and Steam versions also have a "Battles TV" feature that records every match and posts the replays for everyone to see.

Most of the tropes in this game are listed in the Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense series, but this page is for the unique examples in ''Battles''.

!!Tropes present in ''Bloons Tower Defense Battles'':

* BribingYourWayToVictory:
** The Flash version has a store with stuff you can buy using Ninja Kiwi coins
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs:
** {{Exaggerated|Trope}} in the Mobile/Steam versions with club gamemodes, all of which have specific conditions that apply to both players. '''''Any three of these five modes''''' can be combined for a unique Battles experience. The modes are:
*** Play with Fire: income boost from sent bloons are doubled, but bloons are sent to ''both sides.''
*** Random Trio: both players get the same, randomly selected loadout.
*** Mega Boosts: tower boost upgrades towers once-per-use for free; bloon boost upgrades ''all bloons'' on opponent's side by 1.
*** Speed Battle: all bloons are faster and can be sent earlier
*** Banana Bonanza: all income sources (farms, bloon income, etc.) are doubled.
* EasterEgg, in the Flash version, hovering your mouse pointer over the monkeys that appear above the title give each one its own action:
** The sniper monkey loads his rifle and fires it once every few seconds.
** The supermonkey fires his EyeBeams continuously.
** The ninja monkey vanishes and is replaced with a log.
* GameMod: Several Website/{{YouTube}}rs have created and distributed mods (some now discontinued) for the Steam version, much like ''Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense 5''.
** ''Bloonz Reborn'' by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZRm5tzMNwGX-kxZeuwRtKQ BTD Blaze It]], which balances out all towers and upgrades so that anything is viable and the presence of a meta is minimized.

** RanDumb's ''4/4 Towers'' mod, which adds 3rd- and 4th-tier upgrade combinations to all towers except the monkey sub, engineer, bloonchipper, heli pilot, and supermonkey.

That isn't all the mod has!
** GamePlaysItself: Like in ''Videogame/BloonsTowerDefense 5'', rounds advance automatically, meaning that a good defense can lead to this, although increasingly difficult bloons mean it can only last so long without manual intervention.
* PlayerVersusPlayer: Of course. You battle other players and can choose either to be able to send extra bloons to harass them further, or simply outlast them in defensive game.
