*Not all decks may contain Bloons with shields, but it is effective specifically for countering [[Bolstered Bloon]], [[Draining Bloon]], [[Triple Threat Bloon]], and [[Amelia (BCS)|Amelia]]'s Bloon Shield.
*Energy Overload's effect is extremely specific and hard to activate. The only possible targets without [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]] or [[Shield Gas Bloon]] are [[Bolstered Bloon]], [[Buddy Bloon]], [[Draining Bloon]], [[Extra Shot Bloon (BCS)|Extra Shot Bloon]], [[Extractor Bloon]], [[RAPID]], [[Signal Bloon]], and [[Triple Threat Bloon]]. Due to this very small pool of Bloons that are affected by this, Energy Overload often may stay in your hand for the entire game and provide no value.
**Among the commonly shielded bloons by Amelia's Bloon Shield, [[Steady Growth Bloon]] stands out.
*Against [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]], Bloon Shield can be a way to use this card to remove any Bloon, however smart Amelia players will not let you get big value out of this and may intentionally avoid holding Bloontonium or waste it on weak Bloons.
*If having an Energy Overload in the deck, having several [[Shield Gas Bloon]]s or even [[Signal Bloon]]s in the deck may be useful if the opponent never has any Shielded Bloons in their deck, and desperate to get rid of this card (due to the absence of cards with a discard functionality).
*Due to Energy Overload costing 4 gold, having an extremely niche use case, being only 1 charge and often bricking in your hand, Energy Overload is one of the worst cards in the game and should actively be avoided.
