Storm (BCS): Difference between revisions

restructuring the tables again, i think this makes it more clear that the storm follows the turn counter but occurs at the end of each turn
→Storm patterns: boring ahh storm

The '''Storm''' is a game mechanic in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' that attacks players at the end of some [[turn]]s. It initially attacks a player by spawning [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] cards on the opponent's side (giving the opponent extra Bloons right before their turn starts), while on later turns, it can also use the [[Stunned (card)|Stunned]] card to [[stun]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s on the player's side. It has a turn counter that indicates when it will attack next, and the cards it uses follows a consistent pattern depending on the counter; in [[Ranked]] mode, it has different patterns from the default pattern used in all other modes, and it does not appear at all in [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s.

The Storm is represented by a counter that decrements by one at the end of the turn of the player that went second, or if it is at zero already (represented by the Storm icon displaying no number), it instead attacks the player that went first, either by spawning Bloons on the other player's side or by stunning one of their Monkeys, then attacks the other player with the same effect at the end of their next turn. This step occurs at the very end of each turn, right before the "<player name>'s Turn" message appears and the turn counter increments.
The Storm uses cards on specific turns and in a specific order depending on the turn counter, which is displayed in the top-left corner of the user interface, and the number of turns left until it attacks is indicated by the Storm counter next to it. The player can see what the next card will be by tapping or clicking on the Storm icon. If the Storm counter is at zero (when the icon displays no number), it attacks the player that went first, then attacks the other player with the same effect at the end of their next turn. This step occurs at the very end of each turn, right before the turn changes as indicated by the "Your turn" or "Opponent's Turn" message.
