'''Bloontonium Leak''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Advanced Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It removes all [[Bloontonium]] from both players. It ~~can be played~~ if both players have no Bloontonium.

The card artwork depicts a monkey with a hardhat running away from several bloated silos that have pipes leaking out Bloontonium gas.

==Tips==

*Bloontonium Leak is a card that provides ~~a lot of~~ value in stalling strategies, but requires knowledge of how to build a stall deck and when to use it. It is most often paired with [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]] as a way to lock down the opponent and prevent them from popping their own [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]]s, or to prevent [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn]] from building up shield with Nature’s Shield. It also prevents [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] from OTKing with [[Rad Bloon]], and aggressive [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]] strategies.

**If using any hero other than [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] or [[~~Mountain Obyn~~ (BCS)|~~Mountain Obyn~~]] ~~as a Bloontonium Leak user, using Bloontonium~~ before activating is often recommended.

**If using any hero other than [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]], using [[Bloontonium (BCS)|Bloontonium]] before activating is often recommended.

***Mountain Obyn's [[Sentinel Bloon]]s and Brambles can actively harm the stall.

** [[Bloontonium Saboteur]] can often be used in more general situations where you’d want to remove the opponent’s Bloontonium, although both only allow for limited denial of Bloontonium and may not create much value in the long term.

*[[Haunting Night]], despite costing 2 Gold more, is generally more practical, acting in a similar role as Bloontonium Leak but having much more general use on top of performing nearly the same as Bloontonium Leak in more specialized stall strategies.

*[[Haunting Night]], despite costing 1 Gold more, is more practical, acting in a similar role as Bloontonium Leak, but more ~~versatile~~.
