'''Turns''' in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' determine when players can play [[card]]s and use [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] Abilities. The player that can perform actions switches on each turn. In modes with an AI opponent, the human player always goes first, while in ~~competitive~~ modes, the turn order is assigned at random.

'''Turns''' in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' determine when players can play [[card]]s and use [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] Abilities. The player that can perform actions switches on each turn. In modes with an AI opponent, the human player always goes first, while in multiplayer modes, the turn order is assigned at random.

Every turn has three major phases: the start-of-turn phase, the middle phase where the player can act, and the end-of-turn phase. In the start-of-turn and end-of-turn phases, the player cannot perform any actions and any effects that trigger in these phases occur in a specific order. The middle phase begins immediately after the start-of-turn phase ends, the end-of-turn phase begins once the player ends their turn or their timer runs out, and the next player's start-of-turn phase begins immediately after the previous player's end-of-turn phase ends.

The term "turn" is used in-game to refer to both the individual turns of each player, as well as the ''turn counter'' (represented by a number inside a blue square in the top-left corner of the UI), which increments at the very start of the first player's turn. Similarly, the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] counter increments at the very end of the second player's turn, though if the counter is at zero, it activates during both player's turns.

The term "turn" is used in-game to refer to both the individual turns of each player, as well as the ''turn counter'' (represented by a number inside a blue square in the top-left corner of the UI), which starts at zero and increments at the very start of the first player's turn. It is possible for actions to occur on turn 0; in [[Daily Challenge (BCS)|Daily Challenge]]s where players start with a [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] in play, [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Passive Awesomeness activates on turn 0, before players choose their opening hand, and can activate again on turn 1. Similarly, the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] counter increments at the very end of the second player's turn, though if the counter is at zero, it activates during both player's turns.

{{research|section=y|When does [[Fearful Aura]] end? (Possibly start of turn?)}}

===Start of turn===

#The turn ~~counter increments~~ (~~if on the first~~ player's turn).

#The game displays the message "Your turn" (player) or "Opponent's turn" (opponent). If on the turn of the player that goes first, the turn counter also increments.

#[[Temporary Ammo]] disappears.

#[[Badlands (BCS)|Badlands]] deals damage and [[Temporary Ammo]] disappears.

#All Monkeys perform their reload step in the order they were played, oldest first.~~{{fn|~~On a Monkey's reload step, its reload counter decrements, it regains all ammo if it reaches zero, and it triggers any On Reload effect it has if it reloaded. ~~It also triggers any On Turn Start effect at the same time. Its~~ reload counter does not decrement if it is [[Temporary]] or [[Stun]]ned.}}

#All Monkeys perform their reload step in the order they were played, oldest first.

#*On a Monkey's reload step, its reload counter decrements, it regains all ammo if it reaches zero, and it triggers any On Reload effect it has if it reloaded.

#*A Monkey's reload counter does not decrement if it is [[Temporary]] or [[Stun]]ned.

#*On Turn Start effects also trigger on this step, even if the Monkey is Stunned.

#[[Doomed]] Monkeys disappear.

#The player draws a card (if able), or loses by decking out if their [[deck]] is empty.

#On Turn Start effects of all [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s trigger, in their order on the Bloon track.

#The player draws a [[card]] (if able), or loses by decking out if their [[deck]] is empty (even if their hand is full).

#The player can take actions.

===End of turn===

~~{{research|Verify if Lead Coating Bloons activate before Acid Pools (they do activate after On Fire regardless of Bloon play order)}}~~

#The player can no longer take actions.

#On Turn End effects of [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s ~~resolve~~.

#On Turn End effects of all [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s except [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]] trigger in the order they were played, oldest first.

#Blade Maelstrom triggers.

#[[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] Bloons take damage.

#[[~~Lead Coating~~ Bloon]]s ~~add Armor~~.

#[[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]]'s Bloon Shield and [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn]]'s Nature's Shield trigger.

#[[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s deal damage.

#Hazards placed on Bloon spaces ([[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s, Strong Acid Pools, and [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]]'s brambles) deal damage in the order they were placed.

#[[~~Temporary~~]] Monkeys with no regular ammo left disappear.

#On Turn End effects of all Bloons ([[Defense Prep Bloon]]s, [[Lead Coating Bloon]]s, etc.) trigger.

#Monkeys that were stunned on a previous turn stop being stunned.

#Temporary Monkeys with no regular ammo left disappear.

#All Bloons perform their advance step.~~{{fn|~~On an advance step, the Bloon stops being stunned if it was stunned on the previous turn, or attacks if at zero delay, or its delay counter decrements if not at zero delay and not [[Immobile]].}}

#Monkeys that were stunned on a previous turn stop being stunned.

#All Bloons summoned before On Turn End effects triggered this turn perform their advance step.

#*On an advance step, the Bloon stops being stunned if it was stunned on the previous turn, or attacks if at zero delay, or its delay counter decrements if not at zero delay and not [[Immobile]].

#*If the conditions are met for Bloons to attack, the game displays the message "Bloons attack!". If no Bloons can attack, but any Bloon's delay decrements, it displays "Bloons advance" instead. If neither condition is met, the game does not display a message.

#The Storm advances.
