Keyword: Difference between revisions

A '''keyword''' is a term in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' that describes mechanics of a [[card]], [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] Ability, or [[Striker's Adventure]] item. While not explicitly stated in-game, most keywords are either an effect of a card in and of itself or a condition under which an effect of the card triggers. The player can see a card's keywords when viewing a card in the Card Collection and during a match when the card is highlighted. For [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] and [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] cards, most keywords display their icons next to them during a match.

Some cards have keywords written in their card text, but they do not display those keywords' icons or descriptions. Some card descriptions use phrases such as "During your Turn", "During Opponent's Turn", and "When an opponent draws a Card" like keywords, but they are not keywords and have no icons or descriptions.

|With the exception of certain special Power cards like [[Avalanche (BCS)|Avalanche]] and [[Bomb (card)|Bomb]], all Power cards implicitly apply their effects On Play. Cards with this term in their card text existed since the Firstlook test, though it was not a keyword until the Full Playable test.

|The only Monkey that has this keyword, [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]], has "On Pop" in its card text instead of "On Popped". For Bloons, the Bloon with the keyword triggers when it is destroyed by damage or an effect, but not by hitting the opposing Hero. For Monkeys, the Monkey with the keyword triggers when it pops a Bloon.
