You know, I liked the theme of the custom Bloon rounds for Dreadbloon. It reminds me of one of the tile types in BMC; Hard and Heavy where lead and ceramics appear earlier and more frequent. Not to mention that fortified being common.
The most significant changes to the rounds from what I've seen are: - Leads and ceramics become fortified - Zebras become leads - Rainbows become ceramics - Round 46 has a fortified MOAB instead of fortified ceramics
Full list: All Leads and Ceramics become Fortified All Zebras are replaced with Leads All Rainbows are replaced with Ceramics Rounds 40+: Every other regular MOAB that spawns is fortified, starting on round 70 every MOAB is fortified. Special Rounds Round 39: 18 regular Rainbows → 12 Fortified Leads followed by 6 Ceramics Round 40: Round replaced with 10 Fortified Leads (3-9s) and 8 Fortified Ceramics (14-19s) Round 43: 10 Rainbows → 10 Fortified Leads Round 46: Round replaced w/ 1 Fortified MOAB Round 48: 40 Rainbows & 3 Fortified Ceramics → 20 Fortified Ceramics instead Round 49: First 10 Rainbows → 10 Regrow Fortified Leads Round 60: Round replaced with 3 Fortified MOABs (0-20s) sent w/ a constant stream of 40 Fortified Leads (split into two groups of 20 spawning from 1-9s and 11-19s) Round 80: Round replaced, is identical to round 75.
Hmm, NK has specific indicators for lead and ceramic bloons now. I wonder if the new expert map will have a lead/ceramic obly path, similar to how some maps have a moab only path?
One thing I noticed is how the bosses sorta represent the elements- Dreadbloon is earth, Bloonarious is water, Vortex is air, and Blastpopoules is fire .
Sauda was a brave and daring female monkey, skilled in the art of magical blades. She was renowned for her courage and strength, and held a special place in the hearts of many. One day, while on a quest to save a village from a dark force, Sauda came across a strange sight. In the distance, she saw a giant flying fortress called ISAB, also known as "a BIG plane". It was incredibly imposing and seemed to be flying in a mysterious pattern, as if searching for something. Sauda was curious and decided to investigate. As she approached the plane, she was surprised to find a friendly voice emanating from it. It was ISAB, and it welcomed her aboard. Sauda was amazed to find that the plane was alive, and it asked her to come inside. Once inside, she found the plane to be incredibly comfortable, with plush couches and luxurious decorations. ISAB told her that he had been searching for someone like her, and that he was lonely. Sauda couldn't help but feel a connection with the plane, and soon enough, the two of them had become close friends. They talked for hours on end, and Sauda found herself opening up to ISAB in ways she hadn't before. It was like they were two old friends catching up after a long separation. Although they had only just met, it felt like they had known each other for a lifetime. Eventually, their friendship blossomed into something more, and the two of them developed a deep and romantic bond. Sauda and ISAB spent many days in each other's company, exploring the skies and discovering new places. With each adventure, their love for each other grew stronger and stronger, until one day, they decided to make their bond official. They exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony and were wed in the sky, surrounded by the stars. ISAB and Sauda lived happily ever after, exploring the skies together in their giant flying fortress, ISAB.
This boss is pretty interesting but seems pretty easy to beat compared to the others. Maybe it’ll be harder on difficult maps, we’ll have to wait and see
Hey ISAB i found a cool glitch in BTD6 if you put the Bloon Master Alchemist on the magic damage increaser on One Two Tree he gets negative pops for each hit!
Due to how slow Dreadbloon moves, it is easy to get defeated by going over the 20 round limit between ranks. If you do, you get the option to restart from your last checkpoint, but it checkpoints you at the next tier's round. If you can defeat Dreadbloon in that single round, you glitch it out and essentially skip the entire next tier because you are past the round where the tier normally spawns. I ended up doing this by accident during my elite run, and skipped tier 4 entirely.
The same thing happened to me in my first elite run, except I was nowhere near popping Dreadbloon in that single round, and when I tried to continue, it kept restarting me at that same round, essentially softlocking me.
I tried to beat the boss like 5 times, and every single time I failed, I got up to the last tier. So I came here to see what you did and just…dang dude. I need to use more military monkeys, I’m reliant on my ships and subs, so without water this is an absolute nightmare
the concept of the boss is really interesting but i think it could be pushed event further first off making it much faster. we can see that even with no preparation, it cannot go further than 10-15% of the track then maybe have a special hitbox where the drill part of the boss have the same properties as the vortex shield (reflecting everything but couple towers)
I agree that the armor should be more impactful as the tiers scale, because it doesn't keep up with the player getting more debuffs. I like the overall boss design of encouraging a more mixed defense, though.
I beat this one on my first attempt, although it was painful and I made several mistakes that almost had me reset a few times. I'll still have to learn the exact mechanics by heart.
honestly i love the UI for health/shield and modifiers, i don't know if it's new or not cause I don't play bosses but it's cool, not just a boring health bar
seeing a new boss on btd6 it makes me wonder how the hell does the bloons "society" work are boss blons like generals/commanders or some entities that are considered gods btd6 lore is something i never expected to wonder about
The first time I played, I did fairly well on the first level of Dreadbloon until it started sending the dang rock bloons and I just died 😭. I had similar towers down but I also had a middle path Dartling gunner, I ended up doing something completely different starting round 43.
To me it seemed that the rock balloons get the same tower immunity as the boss so I would keep both a 204 sniper and tack shooter then later upgrade them into 205 to keep the pebbles dealt with + good boss damage
Well, since it's rock layer activates 4 times every tier, and it has half of its full health every layer, that's the same hp as Bloonaruis, when both are at 5th tier.
i am hoping elite works like the opposite because it seems like its easy to beat at normal, first skull: its immune to military, magic and support second: primary, magic, and support third: primary, military and supprt last skull: primary, military and magic
and since dreadbloon is so slow that even bloonarius can beat it in a race and it is a must to have 2 paragons of different categories to deal with the immunities
i love his mechanics, its my favorite boss cuz it makes you have more than one strong tower also how will blastapopulous be in this game? and how will future bosses be?
Most likely it will be but it may not come very soon, we will have to see how they will be when released but u can play bloons monkey city to see how Most are cause that's where most of the bosses came from
I did some testing in sandbox and it seems that elite defender plus alch buff or tack zone plus alch buff seems like the best way for rock bloons early game, tiers 3 and above you have so much damage you don't really need to worry. Also I did some real game testing and for me a few towers in different catergories work better than a bunch of weaker towers, so perhaps there kind of is a strategy?
So I beat him first try on elite and normal and Churchill is the way to go for easy kills in the beginning, into a paragon dart and ninja, and then whatever other paragon you prefer next went with boomerang too made easy work of him
the rock bloons are Fucking Annoying. the rock bloons having a “strong taunt” is such a sick mechanic trying to target down the boss to deplete its rock layer was very difficult this boss is great
I really like this boss, in my opinion it is more unique than any of the ones we had before. I also placed 2nd in elite but it will probably change since it is the first day today
Very cool. (yeah, I don't really have anything to say here)

Hi isab first
Hey there isab
This the first comment
@@נטליכהן-ב5כ I mean he made the video
Its always cool to see the struggle that even a master btd player gets when he first plays a new boss with no preparation.
Well, he WAS playing without MK
I'm new to the normal boss too
But I ended up beating it with ease
I think elite is the hardest part of the boss as normal is kinda a joke
@@superuniform6548 well its the easiest map in the game, remember that probably because of the stats of this boss it will be on even harder maps than other bosses
@@fafaello monkey meadow isn't the easiest map
Also on the "other" maps there's water so you can boat farm and flavoured trades are really helpful midgame bosses
@@cryolite08its logs
It's EACH shield that is half the hp, and since 4 shields x 0.5 = +2x hp, Dreadbloon's hp is tripled, so t5 has the same hp as Bloonarius
I thought it said the shield has half the HP of the damage level, not of the whole bar, but it did look much tankier in the video
It’s about 93.75% Bloonarius’ HP.
reminder that the shield layer also counts as ceram so stuff like artillery battery does like 5 damage per hit since it has bonus dmg to cerams and boss bloons
Also keep in mind the dreadbloon moves MUCH slower when it has the shield
Keep in mind that the dreadbloon also has lead properties guys
The Armored Beheamoth has arrived and I absolutely love the complexity of it
Not too complex honestly. Just need two major damage types each tier.
@@Bidens_Diaper That is already more complex than Vortex and Bloonarious. The bar is quite low lol
I like how he's drilling through the "core of the bloons"
well, foreshadowing, he's drilling on his way to Blastpopolous
Yeah and I’m scared of the blastpopolous
@@tristajager2551 In concept alone, it'll be the most difficult of the Monkey city bosses at least.

One of the easiest ways to kill the rock bloons is to use top path glue
I can attest to this, my only run on this boss was successful and I never had issues with the rock bloons because I had a bloon liquefier/bloon solver for them
Primaries are generally a good idea, since the first phase doesn’t spawn rock bloons so you don’t have to worry about immunity
Yup, in my elite run I did that for t1 2 and 3 lol
I went for a spike factory at the back, dont know if it actually worked though
life saver
I never noticed how much harder the early rounds are because I end up going for a bloon trap pretty early to get lots of money.
Good idea
Bloon trap plus rubber to gold is incredible if you don't want farms right away, but any towers that get money from bloons drop off in their money income the further the game goes on!
Yup, lead to gold by r26 into bloon trap into rubber to gold and free money and defense ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
imo that's nice that the boss requires you to have some diversity rather than boost 1 tower as hard as possible, but at the same time it's weaker than the rest, however rock bloons... literally overkill when speaking of their hp
This boss is easily going to be the finest boss ever
You know, I liked the theme of the custom Bloon rounds for Dreadbloon. It reminds me of one of the tile types in BMC; Hard and Heavy where lead and ceramics appear earlier and more frequent. Not to mention that fortified being common.

I love how Dreadbloon pops out of the ground. Surprise!
Hmm, NK has specific indicators for lead and ceramic bloons now.
I wonder if the new expert map will have a lead/ceramic obly path, similar to how some maps have a moab only path?
Just wait till they add a lead/ceramic immunity filter on challenges…
Now the only old boss that has yet to return is Blastapopoulos. After that, everything is original! Exciting to think about.
I like the concept and how different it is from the other bosses, actually got me hooked on this game again
I love how he struggled with the rock balloons, I didn't even know that they existed...
when i sat down and watched ISAB and then ISAB said "it's drilling time" and drilled all over the place i cried 0:01
Never seen before: ISAB not uploading at a time that ruins your sleep schedule!
I like how he said "it's drillin' time" and then proceeded to drill all over Dreadbloon.
Thank you ISAB for drillin' the bloons

.
Tips for you guys:
Get lead to gold early bc there are so many lead bloons.
Dreadbloon looks legit and unique
All of the boss bloons are like this.
DB, in one skull, managed to completely incapacitate all of my defenses. good for him, honestly
DB has 4 rock layers, each worth 50% of the max health. That would mean that DB has triple the health the boss bar shows, right?
I remember going against Dreadbloon years ago. I feel like I'm going insane watching everyone act like it's new
Although the rock bloons says they can't be instakilled, they can by lotn portal
I definitely agree the damage resistance should increase with tiers
I love that they are adding bosses from monkey city

I like how rock bloons are being a bigger pain than the boss itself
This boss is pretty interesting but seems pretty easy to beat compared to the others. Maybe it’ll be harder on difficult maps, we’ll have to wait and see
The boss is pretty slow, imagine it on harder maps with less space
Hmmmmmm, this boss definitely needs some buffs at mid-late stages of the game.

Hey ISAB i found a cool glitch in BTD6 if you put the Bloon Master Alchemist on the magic damage increaser on One Two Tree he gets negative pops for each hit!

I found lead to gold to be pretty good in this boss
Ironically boomerang paragon is great because dreadbloon stays in range the whole time lol
the concept of the boss is really interesting but i think it could be pushed event further
first off making it much faster. we can see that even with no preparation, it cannot go further than 10-15% of the track
then maybe have a special hitbox where the drill part of the boss have the same properties as the vortex shield (reflecting everything but couple towers)
tier 1 has 25600 hp if we combine the rock bloons and the shield and his hp so he's the strongest or much more if you don't kill the rock layer
I remember this boss from bmc. All you had to do is spam depleted bloontonium dart minigunners
I used overdrive and full auto sniper for 1 star then used dart and engi paragon + random t5s for 5star
I agree that the armor should be more impactful as the tiers scale, because it doesn't keep up with the player getting more debuffs. I like the overall boss design of encouraging a more mixed defense, though.
"wait the rock bloons dont have lead properties i think"
me who used a recursive cluster (dont ask me what i was doing) to deal with them: *what*
for tiers one and two i used the elite defender and the tack zone and it works pretty swell
I beat this one on my first attempt, although it was painful and I made several mistakes that almost had me reset a few times.
I'll still have to learn the exact mechanics by heart.
Dreadbloon is slow enough to not worry about popping it AT ALL until the end and the rocks spawn at the beginning, not at the boss.
Farm away.
honestly i love the UI for health/shield and modifiers, i don't know if it's new or not cause I don't play bosses but it's cool, not just a boring health bar
seeing a new boss on btd6 it makes me wonder how the hell does the bloons "society" work
are boss blons like generals/commanders or some entities that are considered gods
btd6 lore is something i never expected to wonder about
I used 024 dart for rock bloons. It seemd to do the trick, as it does a lot of damage.
I really really enjoy the play style of this boss!

This was a fun boss! The rock bloons are pretty nuts early game though...
I usually use a 4-2-0 or 5-0-2 glue gunner to get rid of the rock bloons
Thank you, Isab, for popping the
Armored Behemoth, Dreadbloon
Tip: Use carpet bombs after the military phase is done and then u can skip 1/2 phases
my favorite part was when he said "it's mining time!" and mined off all the armor in the room
Shut up the meme is dead
I really liked dreadbloon, thanks NK for 33 free content updates and counting!!!!
To me it seemed that the rock balloons get the same tower immunity as the boss so I would keep both a 204 sniper and tack shooter then later upgrade them into 205 to keep the pebbles dealt with + good boss damage
Sticky bomb elite Defender is probably cheapest defense but it dies to rock bloons
I went alch + 3-2-0 village buff overdrive + ark spike then bought tack zone for tier one, was pretty good
I didn’t even notice the rock Bloons lol
As a new bloons td 6 player this is the first tier 5 boss ive beat and its very fun
Well, since it's rock layer activates 4 times every tier, and it has half of its full health every layer, that's the same hp as Bloonaruis, when both are at 5th tier.
this boss is pretty cool though blastapopolous is my favorite boss from btd5

Dreadbloon when i have two paragons:
Thank you Isab for popping he Dreadbloon
Cluster bomb is a good defense against the rock bloons, worked for me
Best way to kill rock bloons?
Super Monkey Storm. OMEGALUL
i am hoping elite works like the opposite because it seems like its easy to beat at normal,
first skull: its immune to military, magic and support
second: primary, magic, and support
third: primary, military and supprt
last skull: primary, military and magic
The biggest problem i had was getting enough money for Paragons lol as well as pure damage and popping the T5 Rock Bloons as they're extrremely beefy
and since dreadbloon is so slow that even bloonarius can beat it in a race
and it is a must to have 2 paragons of different categories to deal with the immunities
After all these years
Bloonarius Dreadbloon Vortex
Finally I have them all.
i love his mechanics, its my favorite boss cuz it makes you have more than one strong tower
also how will blastapopulous be in this game?
and how will future bosses be?
Most likely it will be but it may not come very soon, we will have to see how they will be when released but u can play bloons monkey city to see how Most are cause that's where most of the bosses came from
All leads and ceramics get fortified in the boss. Also all zebras become leads and all rainbows become ceramics.
I love it when the Dreadbloon said "It's Drillin' time" and drilled all over the monkeys
😏
They should do one damage OR 25% percent whatever is higher
I did some testing in sandbox and it seems that elite defender plus alch buff or tack zone plus alch buff seems like the best way for rock bloons early game, tiers 3 and above you have so much damage you don't really need to worry. Also I did some real game testing and for me a few towers in different catergories work better than a bunch of weaker towers, so perhaps there kind of is a strategy?
for the rock ballons at t1 i like to use a 300 heli it worked for me
So I beat him first try on elite and normal and Churchill is the way to go for easy kills in the beginning, into a paragon dart and ninja, and then whatever other paragon you prefer next went with boomerang too made easy work of him
It was pretty easy for me that I only used central markets, no banana research facilities.
Tbh you make my day happy thank you
turbo charge is really good for rock bloons
the rock bloons are Fucking Annoying. the rock bloons having a “strong taunt” is such a sick mechanic trying to target down the boss to deplete its rock layer was very difficult this boss is great
One thing to consider: does the bloon trap engineer work on those rock bloons? Cause you might make a boatload of money if it does.
I really like this boss, in my opinion it is more unique than any of the ones we had before. I also placed 2nd in elite but it will probably change since it is the first day today
Not a bad boss slight challenge to pop and can easily catch you off guard with the rock bloons.
I think it would be hell if the elite mode immunity becomes full imunity against x
Reduce damage by 10 percent would make it a big challenge and I would enjoy itmore
If I were to rank the bosses from hardest to easiest (based on my experience):
Dreadbloon > Lych > Bloonarius > Vortex
Just found this out, the trees on top of the new map give a buff
Would be fun to see some speedruns black border from a new account! But Nice vid as always!
