~~{{research|Find the more specialised tips for Strengthenator that made it "so good", and if it's still strong in 6.2}}~~

* ~~The~~ Strengthenator is a cheaper and stronger Aura of Strength Bloon that can buff many Swarm Bloons and cheap [[Double Attack]] Bloons, but is reliant on drawing early in an aggro deck to succeed. Once established with Bloons on the field, it is ~~very~~ difficult to stop without losing value.

* Strengthenator is a cheaper and stronger [[Aura of Strength Bloon]] that can buff many Swarm Bloons and cheap [[Double Attack]] Bloons, but is reliant on drawing early in an aggro deck to succeed. Once established with Bloons on the field, it is difficult to stop without losing value due to the large buff every turn and the Strengthenator itself having a lot of health.

* Strengthenator works best with Bloons that spawn other Bloons after being destroyed or leaked, like [[~~Precursor~~ Bloon]] or [[~~Blooming~~ Bloon (BCS)|~~Blooming~~ Bloon]]~~, as~~ the Strengthenator ~~will have more targets to buff the following turns~~. Strengthenator can also make [[Double Attack]] Bloons harder to pop and deal more damage to the opposing hero.

* Strengthenator works best with Bloons that spawn other Bloons after being destroyed or leaked, like [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]]. Strengthenator also likes having many Bloons on field at once, so swarming with your board with Bloons such as [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]] increases the value of Strengthenator. Strengthenator can also make [[Double Attack]] Bloons harder to pop and deal more damage to the opposing hero.

* Against it, [[Bloon Redirect]] is ~~essential~~ to ~~stopping~~ it before it buffs a rush, as otherwise Monkeys have to make a choice to either target the Strengthenator to prevent it from buffing many Bloons, or target the Bloons placed to prevent value from being extracted out of the Strengthenator.

* Strengthenator’s “On Turn Start” condition makes it good to pair with [[Storm (BCS)|Storms]] with high amounts of spawns early on, as the effect is triggered instantly after a [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] Bloon spawns.

** On Dark Castle, Strengthenator ~~must~~ be ~~damaged first before using Bloon Redirect~~, ~~as its HP on this map is just over the threshold to steal it~~.

* Against it, [[Bloon Redirect]] is useful to stop it before it buffs a rush, as otherwise Monkeys have to make a choice to either target the Strengthenator to prevent it from buffing many Bloons, or target the Bloons placed to prevent value from being extracted out of the Strengthenator.

* Outside of Dark Castle, Strengthenator can be one-shot by [[Storm Of Arrows (BCS)|Storm Of Arrows]], a popular anti-aggro card for [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]].
