Description

 リードバルーンはハードコアモードのみに出現する敵です。デビューにしては体力は低いですが、かなり速いです。リードバルーンが空中にある間、ユニットと衝突したり、ハンター、処刑人、アーチャー、エンジニアを除くほとんどの地上タワーやユニットによって検出されることはありません（エンジニアの見張りはそれらを検出できません）。

また、鉛の敵でもあり、鉛の貫通がなければタワーによってダメージを受けることはできません。これにより、リードバルーンに害を及ぼす可能性のあるタワーの数が大幅に減少します。風船が割れると、もはや飛行する敵ではなくなります。しかし、目に見える金属の被覆がないにもかかわらず、それは依然として主要な敵です。
 

リードバルーンは、ハードコアモードのウェーブ40以降でミステリーが死亡すると、そこからスポーンできます。

Appearance

The Lead Balloon has reflective dark green skin, and its torso and legs are reflective black. Like the Balloon, it is also faceless. It has three lead balloons tied to its back. After taking enough damage, it loses a balloon and floats closer to the ground. When it loses all its shield health, all the balloons would have popped and the Lead Balloon walks along the path like any other regular enemy.

Strategy

• While the Lead Balloon is floating, the Lead Balloon is a lead and flying enemy. This limits the towers that can both detect and damage the Lead Balloon.
• Multiple Level 3+ Rangers or Level 1+ Pursuits are the best option to deal with the Lead Balloon, with or without its balloons.
  • Both the Pursuit's gun and bombs have lead penetration, making it also a very good option to deal with Lead Balloons.
  • Level 4 Snipers can also be used to kill the Lead Balloon despite their low DPS, but you need a large amount of them.
    • A few Level 5 Electroshockers can also be used to clear out Lead Balloons fairly well as it can hit up to eight enemies with decently high DPS.
• The Ace Pilot and Mortar can detect and damage the Lead Balloon with its splash damage.
  • However, the Ace Pilot's projectiles explode on the ground, limiting the damage dealt to the Lead Balloon. It will also have a hard time to hit Lead Balloons when they are grounded due to the enemy's fast speed.
• The Engineer can be used to deal with this, but do note that only the tower itself can detect and damage them. None of the Engineer's sentries can detect it, with only War Machine Sentry being able to damage it.
• Weirdly, the Elf Camp's units can handle this enemy quite well, despite being unable to collide with it.
• The Hunter, Executioner and the Archer are able to detect the Lead Balloon, but are unable to damage it.
• Units cannot directly damage the Lead Balloon while its floating, though explosions from some of the units may indirectly hit it.
• The Shotgunner and Swarmer are unable to detect the Lead Balloon while its floating, but are able to damage it.
  • This will only occur if there are other enemies near the Lead Balloon.
• Once the Lead Balloon's shield health has been depleted, all of its balloons would have popped.
  • Once this happens, any tower can detect the Lead Balloon, but cannot damage it if they do not have lead penetration.
  • Be aware that its speed increases significantly while on the ground.

Trivia

• The Lead Balloon may be a reference to the Lead Bloon in the Bloons Tower Defense series.
• During Hardcore Testing BETA, the Lead Balloon's balloons did not pop as it had no shield health.
• Oddly, when the Lead Balloon's balloons pop, while it is no longer a flying enemy, it still is a lead enemy, despite not having any metal coverings.
