(Not to be confused with BTDi, which is completely unrelated.)

Bloons Tower Defense Impersonation (BTDI) is a mock-up hybrid of BTD5 and BTD6, with some added features.

This page is heavily under construction and a complete mess in its current form; it will be organized soon!

Blurb

 * Lots of new towers: Archer Monkey, Rubber Harvester, Torch Monkey, Monkey Marine, Melee Monkey, Monkey Juggler, Monkey Bard, Arcane Monkey, Injection Monkey, Projectile Redirector, Miner Monkey, Monkey Chicken, and Beacon Building!
 * Includes all towers from BTD5 as well as Alchemist Monkey and Druid Monkey from BTD6! (also Monkey Academy too, which supposedly exists)
 * Tier VI Upgrades are extra powerful upgrades; each upgrade can only be beheld by one tower.


 * New Heroes: Pioneer Original, Ai and Cuckoo, and a whole collection to come!
 * New Special Agents, such as Convert-A-Tron!

Damage Types
Every attacking tower's attacks in BTDI fall into one or more of the following damage types. Each classified damage type has its strengths and weaknesses.

Some bloons have immunity to certain damage types (e.g. Black Bloons are immune to explosives, White Bloons are immune to freezing, etc.).

Sometimes, a tower may have an upgrade that allows their damage type to bypass bloon immunities (e.g. Lead Bloons are immune to sharp attacks, but Sniper Monkey's Full Metal Jacket bypasses that).

Each projectile can have up to three damage types (e.g. A Red Hot 'Rangs Glaive Thrower throws red hot glaives, projectiles that are sharp, blunt, and heated). Sharp = ''Sharp attacks include projectiles such as darts, spike balls, tacks, blades, arrows, shurikens, caltrops, nails, spikes, thorns, frags, shrapnel, bullets, and more. Sharp projectiles often have high pierce and/or are thrown at high velocity and/or rate. Sharp attacks can usually damage all but frozen and lead bloons, but some towers of this type (such as Sniper Monkeys and Monkey Engineers) have rather cheap upgrades that grant them the capacity to bypass these bloon immunities. Sharp attacks also cannot destroy the Helium Bloon's glass jar; however, sharp attacks make up the only damage type that can pop Blubber Bloons.'' Blunt = ''Previously classified with sharp attacks, blunt attacks include boomerangs, as well as attacks such as clubs, bashes, bludgeons, and smashes (e.g. Pat Fusty, Cuckoo, etc.). Like sharp attacks, this kind of attack often exhibits high pierce and usually fails to pop lead bloons; however, blunt attacks can almost always by default (or, via relatively cheap upgrades) pop frozen bloons. Glaives count as both sharp and blunt.'' Explosive = ''Explosive attacks include bombs, mortar shells, rockets, fireballs, and more. This method of attack almost always deals splash damage, and thus are effective at dealing with clusters of bloons; however, this is very often at a rather slow fire rate. Explosive damage type towers are at times associated with fiery attacks, and often times towers of this type have anti-M.O.A.B.-class bloon upgrades. Without the proper upgrades, explosives fail to pop Black, Zebra, and Weighted Bloons.'' Fiery = ''Fiery attacks include flames from Gwendolin's flamethrower, Torch Monkey's torch, and other attacks such as Monkey Apprentice's Dragon's Breath and Mortar Monkey's Burny Stuff. Fiery damage type towers are at times associated with explosive attacks. Without the proper upgrades, fiery attacks are evaded by Orange Bloons.'' Heated = ''Somewhat of a sub-class, heated attacks are special in the sense that they are not fiery but instead merely heated, allowing them to pop lead, frozen, as well as Orange Bloons. Heated attacks include Boomerang Thrower's Red Hot 'Rangs, Red Hot Spikes, Spike Factory's White Hot Spikes, and Monkey Sub's Heat-Tipped Darts.'' Freezing = ''Freezing attacks are normally exclusive to the Ice Monkey, and are useful for freezing bloons in place to slow them down and allow damage from other towers. Without the proper upgrades, freezing attacks are ineffective against White, Zebra, Lead, and M.O.A.B.-class Bloons.'' Light/Laser = ''Light and laser-based attacks include Miner Monkey's headlight flashes, Dartling Gunner's Laser Cannon and Ray of Doom, and Super Monkey's Laser Vision. These attacks usually fail to pop Glass Bloons.'' Magic/Energy = ''Magic and energy attacks include the Monkey Apprentice's magic orbs, Obyn Greenfoot's main attack, Ezili's voodoo magic, and the Druid Monkey's Tier 3 and up Path 1 upgrades, as well as electricity attacks such as Ai's lightning shocks, the Lightning Rod, and Druid Monkey's Heart of Thunder. These attacks normally fail to pop Absorption Bloons.'' Plasma = ''Plasma attacks include Super Monkey's Plasma Vision, Sun Avatar, and even the Sun Temple and True Sun God. Plasma attacks usually pop all but Absorption Bloons.'' Corrosive/Bloontonium = ''Corrosive/bloontonium attacks include corrosive glue, Alchemist Monkey's potions, and other various upgrades such as Dartling Gunner's Depleted Bloontonium Darts, Bloontonium Reactor, and Dart Monkey's Concentrated Darts. This method of attack can almost always pop and affect all types of bloon (although whether it can affect M.O.A.B.-class bloons or not depends on the tower itself).'' Other = ''Attacks that classify in the "other" category have either attack types that don't apply in any of the above categories or have unorthodox mechanics that separate them from the rest. For example, Monkey Marine's high-pressurized water jets blast through lead but can't pop frozen bloons, a contrariety not shared with any other tower in the game.''

Basic Statistics
Each tower has its own statistics that determine its effectiveness (or lack thereof) against the bloons.

Range
The range of a tower determines its reach of effect; how far something can be to be affected by this tower. Most towers attack bloons in range, although some supporting towers alternatively/additionally use this range to benefit or supplement other towers in range.

Speed
The speed of a tower determines its fire rate or swiftness at doing what it does to contribute to the defense against the bloons. Some towers, like Super Monkey, Dartling Gunner, and Bloonchipper, even when unupgraded, have a relatively high speed compared to other towers such as Mortar Monkey, Bomb Shooter, and Sniper Monkey.

Velocity
The projectile velocity, to be specific, determines the speed of the projectile or attack. Sometimes, the velocity is instantaneous, such as that from bullets shot by a Sniper Monkey.

Pierce
Pierce determines the amount of bloons that are affected per a projectile or attack. Sharp damage type and blunt damage type towers usually have projectiles that can slice or shoot through many bloons at once, whilst explosive, freezing, and fiery damage type towers often have projectiles that affect a cluster and/or a group of bloons in an area.

Anti-M.O.A.B.-Class

Towers
Towers became organized into classes in BTD6, and in BTDI they still are. There are five classes of towers in BTDI: Primary, Secondary, Military, Magic, and Support. The first four are each composed of a hearty number of eight towers, whilst the final one (Support) is composed of nine, making a grand total of 41 non-Hero, non-Power, non-Special Agent towers in BTDI as opposed to BTD6's count of 20 (not including the three supposedly upcoming towers to BTD6).

Secondary Towers
Secondary Towers are a whole new class of towers. Like Primary Towers, towers of the Secondary class have fundamental properties and attacks that make them great for early-to-middle-game usage. However, Secondary Towers are often unique in the sense that they have special abilities, upgrades, or functions that separate them from the rest. Since the Secondary class itself is unique to BTDI, all the towers that compose it are so too.

Support Towers
Support Towers are towers that often buff other towers rather than attack or serve as alternative defenses used to supplement other towers. There are 9 Support Towers instead of the usual 8 because Shiverpeace is bad at counting.

Towers, Upgrades, and Bloons
This section is heavily WIP. 'Disclaimer: The following stuff (in the Expand thing, not those other things you currently see below) is in shambles and probably isn't too relevant right now. Shiverpeace will get to organizing this soon. Expand at your own nonexistent risk.' Shiverpeace's Nested Tabs View =

(This is basically an arguably organized nested tab database that provides as a great way to include tower information, tower upgrade information, bloon information, item information, and potentially even stuff like Monkey Knowledge branches.)======

Towers (WIP)
Towers in BTDI have three upgrade paths, each with six upgrades.

Tier VI upgrades are so powerful and unique that each Tier VI upgrade can only be occupied by one tower.

There are seven classes: Primary, Military, Magic, Support, Heroes, Track Items, and Secret Agents. The first three classes (Primary, Military, and Magic) are represented by seven towers each, while the Support class is represented by eight towers. Heroes are unique, powerful towers with special attacks and abilities, while Track Items are usually expendable "traps" that are placed on the track. Special Agents are initially purchased with Monkey Money and afterward can be placed down for free.

The Secondary class is WIP.
