Hormesis (Bloon property)

Hormesis is a Bloon Property in BTD7: Planet of the Apes.

Description
In non-boss bloons, Hormesis functions as an upgrade to the Regrowth property; Bloons regenerate over time but with every 2 layers lost gives them the potential to upgrade to one layer ahead of the original layer in which they spawned with. For example, a Hormetic Ceramic Bloon that loses 2 layers has the potential to regenerate into a MOAB if given time. The maximum limit for this regenerating potential is the BAD. MOAB-Class layers take an immense amount of time to generate.

In Boss Bloons, the property acts as a passive ability that increases their attack damage, attack speed, and movement speed as their health depletes.

Strategy
Hormetic Bloons must be destroyed as quickly as possible before they are given the chance to hit the deadly MOAB-Class levels. The combination of mass stallings with overwhelming DPS is the most efficient way to deal with Hormetic Bloons. One-shot-kill attacks (such as Tsar Bomba) will also work because a high-damaging single-hit attack will kill the Bloons much faster than they can regenerate.
