History GuideDangIt / BloonsTowerDefense

* Carrier Flagship and Sky Shredder pop lead and frozen despite shooting mainly darts, and their anti-MOAB rocket explosions also affect [=DDTs=]. This is in stark contrast with the upgrades immediately before, which have similar attacks but cannot pop Leads, frozen, or [=DDTs=].

** In ''5'', upgrading a Bomb Shooter from Frag Bombs to Cluster Bombs [[PowerupLetdown would predictably remove its ability to pop Black and Zebra Bloons]] as it replaces piercing fragments with regular explosions (which Black and Zebra Bloons are immune to). In ''6'', however, and starting from Version 28.0, Cluster Bombs can still pop them even though a regular bomb cannot.

* The Anti-Bloon upgrade improves its Bloon Annihilation ability by increasing the range it has and also quadrupling the damage it deals as well as improving the damage and critical hit chance that its main attacks have
* While The True Sun God and Anti-Bloon upgrades can rely on essentially being stronger versions of their Tier 4s to attempt to handwave their vague descriptions, The Legend Of The Night does not have this excuse.

* Monkey-Nomics is as bad if not worse than Banana Central at describing what it does as it's description is only "For when you're too big to fail." This is especially egregious in the case of this tower upgrade as all it does is make it so that you get the same loan as the Tier 4 but you don't have to pay the loan back, which isn't that hard to describe.

* Banana Central, the top path tier 5 upgrade for the Banana Farm, also ranks amongst the league of the Flying Fortress in that nowhere in the game are even its basic mechanics mentioned. (By the way, it generates $6000 per round and increases the value of Banana Research Facility crates by 25%.)

* Relentless Glue causes popped Bloons to leave Glue residue on the track, slowing down Bloons that run over them. That's all the description states, for it does not mention that Glue residue can stick to Camo Bloons even if the Glue Gunner itself cannot fire at them.

* The Description of the Sky Shredder only declares that "The bloons will wish they had never come" without informing the player that the main dart attack now has 32 projectiles instead of 16 and is now twice as fast, and that all of it's attacks gain a major damage increase and now bypass all damage type immunities.

* In ''Bloons TD 6'', middle-path Ice Monkey upgrades Arctic Wind, Snowstorm, and Absolute Zero have the ability to freeze any rivers, ponds, or other bodies of water, allowing land-based towers to be placed on top of the frozen water. The game never informs you of the water-freezing ability. Furthermore, the game does not state that the freezing aura can slow down Lead Bloons even without the Metal Freeze upgrade (although it remains unable to pop them), nor it states that Snowstorm greatly increases the radius of the freezing aura.

** The Marketplace upgrade merely states that bananas are automatically added instead of the player (or a Banana Farmer) having to collect them. It does not mention that it actually increases production to 16 bananas per round - actually the same as the Banana Plantation upgrade (and meaning crosspathing with the top path does absolutely nothing).

* The description for the Avatar of Wrath, the bottom-path Tier 5 upgrade for the Druids, goes: "The more bloons there are, the more damage it does!" This does not come even close to describing the actual mechanics of the upgrade. The upgrade's power is governed by RBE, a measurement of how many attacks would it take to pop the bloon and all its children if those attacks only did 1 damage and had 1 pierce. For example, a single ZOMG contains 16656 RBE, which is higher than any ceramic rush in the game (a single ceramic has merely 104 RBE), and thus Round 80 will trigger the Avatar of Wrath to do more damage than the 70+-bloon-long ceramic rushes of Round 78 would trigger, despite the ZOMG being only one bloon. Nowhere in ''Bloons TD 6'' is RBE even mentioned or explained, nor that it ties into the mechanics of the Avatar of Wrath. (Its predecessors ''Bloons Tower Defense 4'' and ''Bloons Tower Defense 5'' '''did''' tell you what RBE was and how much RBE each round had, ironically.)

* The Ray of Doom's description just says that it creates a solid line of annihilation that can wipe out Bloons at your leisure. Obviously, this doesn't really explain much. It does 25 damage per every 0.20 seconds and gives a laser shock effect that deals 20 damage per second for five seconds. The first Bloon the Ray of Doom hits is also dealt an additional 80 damage. Also, it actually has a pierce limit, set at 1000. Last but not least, it can pop Purple Bloons, which is never implied anywhere, and goes completely against the intuition instilled by the Laser Cannon and Plasma Accelerator upgrades before it, which ''can't'' pop purples.

* The Ray of Doom's description just says that it creates a solid line of annihilation that can wipe out Bloons at your leisure. Obviously, this doesn't really explain much. It does 5 damage per frame to any non-MOAB bloon. For MOABS, it does 25 damage per frame. Also, it actually has a pierce limit, set at 1000. Last but not least, it can pop Purple Bloons, which is never implied anywhere, and goes completely against the intuition instilled by the Laser Cannon and Plasma Accelerator upgrades before it, which ''can't'' pop purples.
* Sky Shredder's description only taunts the Bloons without most importantly informing the player that its attacks now bypass all damage type immunities.
* The description for the Tsar Bomba is only slightly better than the other T5 aces as while "A really really large bomb. Someone put a stop to this craziness" at least implies that the nuke ability gets stronger, nowhere does it mention the ability to now stun [=MOAB=] class bloons with said nuke as well as the reduced cooldown the ability gets.

* One of Adora’s mechanics, getting stronger after placing a True Sun God, is never mentioned in game, despite being the best part about her.

* The descriptions of the Paragon Towers don't explain a single thing about what they do (outside of the Apex Plasma Master, which at least explains it fires plasma juggernaut balls), let alone how the Paragon level system works.
