*Unlike [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]] which has the goal of clogging the opponent's Bloon queue at the cost of clogging your own, Red Bloon Storm puts the user at a direct disadvantage for 4 Gold. Playing this card slows down aggression, so it must be used with swarm synergies like [[Bloon Embiggen]] or [[Bolstered Bloon]] to be worth it. It's very risky in aggro, and players can take advantage of this.

It is a risky card, but the total health and damage is higher than other Bloons around its price.
*Due to the nerf to Red Bloon increasing its delay from 1 to 2, the Reds will clog the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], and they can be easily popped with splash damage or other cheap board clearing powers like [[Spike Storm!]] or [[Firestorm (BCS)|Firestorm]].

*Red Bloon Storm can be made free with Amelia's [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Act of Power]]. Although not highly recommended due to the slow speed of Red Bloon Storm, it can be used if combined with something like [[Bolstered Bloon]]. [[Undead Army]] is typically better, however.
*Red Bloon Storm pairs well with [[Bloon Embiggen]], but still bad compared to spamming Greens and Yellows since the version 3.4 Red delay nerfs.

**If none of the eight Reds are damaged at all, Bloon Embiggen can do enough damage to cause 520 damage,<!--65*8=520--> enough to defeat the opponent in one turn. This isn't common and more often encountered against Monkeyless aggro decks.
**If none of the eight Reds are damaged at all, Bloon Embiggen can do enough damage to cause 520 damage,<!--65*8=520--> enough to defeat the opponent in one turn. This is extremely rare, as most decks have some kind of Monkey to defend with.
