Unless you have Premium Upgrades, even a experienced BTD player should tread carefully when using Dart Monkeys (unless it has the Juggernaut upgrade).Use powerful spread damage attack towers, like a Spectre, to affect its children and more quickly weaken it.However, if this is your only defense against Ceramic Bloons, it's recommended to get more than one of them, as they fire slowly.The Deadly Precision upgrade for Sniper Monkey can pop the Ceramic Bloons in one shot.However, if there is more than one spawn route, one Spectre is not enough to stop all the Bloons. A single Spectre, within the range of a 2/1 Monkey Village and with a tier 2 or 3 Ace Private Hangar can destroy Ceramics instantly even if they are Regen, granting perfect defense preventing them to even enter the track.2 Spectres can pop huge amounts of ceramics, and are also very versatile and work well against M.O.A.B.s too.In BTD6 a 0/1/2 Ice Tower can perma-freeze ceramic bloons, however, it stops freezing when the bloon reaches zebra layer. Especially effective upgrades to put to use would be Permafrost and Arctic Wind. Use Ice Towers to slow down the bloons and give you more time.A 4/2 glue gunner can destroy even regrowth ceramics almost instantly, but may not be worth it since it costs over $10,000 and before BTD6 doesn't affect MOAB-class bloons(In BTD6 2/x/x glue gunner and superior, does damage to MOAB-class bloons, however, it doesn't slow them down without x/x/3 upgrade). A 3/2 gunner can be effective against a rush, however.

A 2/x glue gunner is very impractical due to the time it takes to pop 10 layers. In BTD4/BTD5(Flash) the only effect glue has on Ceramic Bloons is that the bloon will take damage if the glue gunner is 2/x or higher (glue can slow ceramics in BTD5 mobile).It takes 10 hits of a bomb tower without the Frag Bombs upgrade to pop a Ceramic Bloon.It may not be a smart idea to use dart monkeys (other than Triple Shot or Juggernaut ) as it takes 10 hits to pop a Ceramic Bloon.Prefer towers that have a fast rate of attack such as upgraded Bomb Towers, or Mortar Towers.2.29 Strategy 29 (BTD5/BTD Battles/BMC).2.22 Strategy 22 (BTD5/BTD Battles/BMC).2.18 Strategy 18 (BTD5 Deluxe/BTD5 Mobile/BTD Battles Mobile).
