*This card can add tempo in aggro decks, offering free healing at the expense the Strike Bloon having 40 less HP than a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], or a [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]] that costs 1 Gold more.
*Strike Bloon can add a good source of offensive healing in Aggro decks, offering healing on leak at the expense of Strike Bloon having 10 less HP than a [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]].
*Compared to [[Quick Break]], Strike Bloon heals only up to 90 per Bloon (10 less than Quick Break) but can synergize with health buffs such as [[Fortify]]. It's also an Uncommon, not a Common, and effectively has 20 less potential heal per card excluding health buffs. However, this also assumes the opponent lacks anything to reduce its HP or negate damage.
*Compared to [[Quick Break]], Strike Bloon heals only up to 80 per Bloon (20 less than Quick Break) but can synergize with health buffs such as [[Fortify]]. Being a Bloon, it also gives much more offensive potential and Bloontonium, so although the healing is lower it generally is better for more aggressive decks.
**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s passive will let the Strike Bloon do up to 10 more heal than Quick Break.
**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s passive will let Strike Bloon heal the same amount of health as Quick Break.
*Focus on Strike Bloon if going in a mirror aggro matchup, but watch out for other Bloons such as [[Steady Growth Bloon]].
*Strike Bloon if going in a mirror Aggro matchup can be a great way to swing the game in your favor due to the simultaneous damage and healing that you can get for cheap.
*Shield doesn't count for Strike Bloon's health heal, so [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] control decks can cause a late Strike Bloon to heal nothing. [[Mana Shield (BCS)|Mana Shield]] is also a good card to use for negating the opponent's life gains.
*Shield doesn't count for Strike Bloon's health heal, so [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] decks can cause a late Strike Bloon to heal nothing via the use of a card like [[Wall Of Trees|Wall of Trees]]. [[Mana Shield (BCS)|Mana Shield]] is also good for negating the health recovery.
*Strike Bloon versus [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] can be used to recover some lost lives, however many of Dreadbloon's defensive cards ([[Immunity (card)|Immunity]], [[Wrath of Dread]], [[Dread Shield]], [[Armored]]) and Stage 2 Dreadbloon's final ability can negate or limit the Strike Bloon's heal.
*Strike Bloon versus [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] can be used to recover some lost lives; however, many of Dreadbloon's defensive cards ([[Immunity (card)|Immunity]], [[Wrath of Dread]], [[Dread Shield]], [[Armored]]) and abilities (e.g. Rock Pop and Awe and Bloon Removal Time from the Board Destruction stage) can negate or limit the Strike Bloon's heal. If you must run a healing option, then [[Clever Yellow Bloon]] or [[Monkey Priestess]] is typically preferred.

Strike Bloon is a Basic Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 4.0. If it leaks to the opponent's Hero, the player's Hero restores health equal to the damage the opponent takes. It does not count overkill damage or damage dealt to a Shield.

Peppermint Bloon concept

This Bloon was inspired by a fan-made concept called “Peppermint Bloon” by u/ViableFries, which shared the effect.

During Version 6.2 playtests, Strike Bloon was noted as underpowered due to being generally outclassed by the Clever Yellow Bloon since its release, notably for Barrel of Monkeys.[1] A rework was done to decrease its cost but slightly reduce its Health, which made it less risky for Hero healing in aggro,[1] and rival the Clever Yellow as more specialized for aggro (Clever Yellow sees use in both aggro and tempo).[1]
