*Clever Yellow Bloon can add ~~tempo to~~ aggro ~~if followed previously by a Monkey card~~. The only downsides are 20 less HP than a normal [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]]~~, higher rarity (Rare instead of Common),~~ and 30 less heal per card compared to [[Quick Break]] if using the Clever function, but it can be equipped alongside normal Yellows to increase likelihood of drawing Yellows.

*Clever Yellow Bloon can add both pressure and healing, being suitable for both aggro and control decks. The only major downsides are 20 less HP than a normal [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] and 30 less heal per card compared to [[Quick Break]] if using the Clever function, but it can be equipped alongside normal Yellows to increase likelihood of drawing Yellows.

**It can be used without the Clever function as a rush, however it has the same Health as [[Swarm Yellow Bloon]] for one less charge, thus is not recommended unless certain it will cripple the opponent.

*Using multi-charge Monkey cards such as [[Barrel of Monkeys]] is recommended with Clever Yellows, for more opportunities to trigger the Clever function.

**[[Bomb Bloon (BCS)|Bomb Bloon]]s ~~can be sent to produce up to 2~~ [[~~Bomb Shooter~~ (BCS)|~~Bomb Shooter~~]]~~s, which are cheap (only 2 Gold), and conveniently with~~ 2 ~~charges~~.

**[[Bomb Bloon (BCS)|Bomb Bloon]]s or [[Rang Bloon (BCS)|Rang Bloons]] can be sent to produce up to 2 monkey cards.

*~~Clever Yellows can be run in~~ [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s ~~as both Boss damage and Hero healing. Use it primarily~~ for ~~additional~~ healing ~~with~~ a deck ~~consisting of mostly Monkeys~~.

*In [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s, Clever Yellow is a great choice for healing; this mode encourages a Monkey-heavy deck.

*Clever Yellow is most effective in [[Rad Bloon]] OTK decks being able to heal and gain bloontonium while triggering [[Zee Jay|ZJ's]] passive twice if played on seperate turns.

*Like all Clever Bloons, check the card history while playing the game to verify if your last played card was actually a Monkey.

*Not using the Clever function should only be used if certain that the extra 110 Health 1-delay Bloon would cause a major threat to the opponent's side, or if your Hero already has high Health and only wanted to gain Bloontonium for important thresholds (e.g. [[~~Adora~~ (BCS)|~~Adora~~]]'s ~~Ultimate Sacrifice~~, [[~~Striker Jones~~ (BCS)|~~Striker Jones~~]]'s ~~Ammo Stores~~).

*Not using the Clever function should only be used if certain that the extra 110 Health 1-delay Bloon would cause a major threat to the opponent's side, or if your Hero already has high Health and only wanted to gain Bloontonium for important thresholds (e.g. [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia the Amazing]]'s Act of Power, [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]]'s Sacrificial Totem), or if building up [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Tokens is more important.
