Does anyone have a good strategy for dealing with the regen bloon rushes? I have tried glue, ninjas, lightning wizards and it is routinely the part that messes me up.

I use lighting wizards with monkey fort (+1 popping power makes them much more effective).
Even better is using a boomerang tower with Glaive Ricochet although they don’t handle camo well.

If you can get them a 3/x engineer monkey will take care of this. the foam takes out the regen property and the sentries kill the bloons.

Edit: Strategic beat me to it.
Later on in the game, you’ll be able to deal with them through sheer popping power. Any fast-attacking, multi-hitting tower (Ring of Fire, Bionic Boomer, Operation Dart Storm) will handle most of it.

These are what give me the most trouble too, far moreso than blimps. What I’ve found works is mass glaive ricochets, maybe an ice (2/2, or if you can afford it, 3/2), plus a 2/2 or 2/3 mortar targeted fairly early to light them all on fire. A 2/3 ninja to stun them doesn’t hurt either. Generally you want your damage fairly concentrated in one area so you don’t accidentally regen farm and kill yourself.

Really? +1 popping power to an ability that already pops up to 25 bloons? I don’t think that would make much of a difference.

It pops 2 layers of bloons so it’s basically double popping power.

Not if the term means the same thing as it did in BTD5. ([Wiki link](http://btd-5.wikia.com/wiki/Popping_Power))

Its a typo, its only +1 layer pop on snipers, otherwise its +1 pierce.

I too find the monkey engineer with cleansing foam ability takes them out with ease. I also use bionic boomers, ice towers and glue

No, it has no effect on snipers.

3/2 glue vaporizes them, and 3/0 Engineer will remove the regen

Ceramic mega-rushes can be dealt with by use of the freeze tower…it’s either 4/2 or 2/4.
That’s…probably more end-game than what you’re thinking of.

if you are using whirlwind you are digging your own grave... they will overwhelm you as they regenerate while being flung back over and over, exponentially. so avoid whirlwind for regen bloons levels
