By placing the Bloon Exclusion Zone near the bottom of the gear on Geared, it can be seen that it has slightly more range than its previous upgrade, the Bloon Area Denial System.īloon Exclusion Zone's power remains fairly similar compared to when it was first released.

Its main weaknesses, however, are densely grouped MOAB-class and DDTs. It takes many more hits for Bloon Exclusion Zone to take down higher-HP MOAB-class, especially BADs, but it does a decent job otherwise.

When fighting against small groups of weaker bloons, the sheer amount of projectiles will simply wipe them out clean.

Add some space so that it is able to clean up Super Ceramics too.

It produces many projectiles per shot, and because of this, it should be placed a little closer to the entrance, as it deals the most damage versus MOAB-class bloons.

Because of how many projectiles it produces per shot, Bloon Exclusion Zone is a good candidate with Pat Fusty, although with Pat Fusty multiple Bloon Area Denial Systems might benefit better from him.

This gives it more damage and is cheaper than an MIB. For better damage vs DDTs, consider stacking 4-5 Acidic Mixture Dip alchemists next to this tower.

However, Acidic Mixture Dip will run out between shots.

It attacks quite fast, but still slower than a lower-tier Dartling Gun, so a Bloon Exclusion Zone actually will have nearly 100% uptime with Stronger Stimulant.

Just like Bloon Area Denial System, Bloon Exclusion Zone greatly benefits from Alchemist buffs, especially Stronger Stimulant.

The 0-2-5 Bloon Exclusion Zone is the better upgrade, as the higher attack speed gives the Bloon Exclusion Zone with more overall DPS than simply increasing the accuracy of its projectiles.

It requires camo detection or the Advanced Targeting upgrade to pop camo.

Bloon Exclusion Zone does not pop Lead Bloons by default, as it has the shatter damage type, so adding a Monkey Intelligence Bureau is a good idea.

Because it shoots lots of projectiles per shot, it benefits a lot from Alchemist buffs, most specifically Stronger Stimulant, as well as from Pat Fusty.

Bloon Exclusion Zone doesn't necessarily require support to become usable in a real game, but for the best results, it should be buffed with supports that greatly benefit high-projectile towers.

Bloon Exclusion Zone is a powerful option for popping grouped bloons and single-target bloons due to its high projectile count and high damage.
