'''The Eternal''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in version 3.0. Each time it is destroyed or it hits the opponent's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]], it creates a copy of itself in the player's hand with more Health than before. If it ~~hit~~ the opponent's Hero, the copy gains 60 Health, but if it was popped, it gains 30 Health. If [[Return to Sender]] is used on a copy, it reverts to its original health. This Bloon can be copied by effects (e.g. [[Double Trouble]] or [[Reinflated]]). Multiple Eternals are allowed to return to the player's hand if The Eternal was copied. Only one The Eternal can be in the [[Card|Collection]].

The card artwork depicts The Eternal near a graveyard full of the ghosts of other Eternals, set at night time with an eerie light-blue mist.

*The Eternal is a scaling Bloon that becomes more valuable the longer the game goes, provided the player has ample space in their hand. It can be used to assist [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s, but should not be relied on as the main damage. With its infinite card generation, this card can offer a constant source of Bloontonium, albeit very slowly.

*By popping the Eternal, it gets stronger. Delaying the popping of The Eternal prevents it from scaling too quickly, but letting it leak will have it scale more quickly.

**The optimal way to limit its Health scaling is popping it on the second turn. ~~If using a Defender,~~ the final pop can ~~be delayed~~ further.

**The optimal way to limit its Health scaling is popping it on the second turn. Having anything that deals the final pop during the opponent's turn (e.g. [[Defender]]s, and lingering effects like [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] and [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]) can delay it further.

**If available, [[Slowing Bloon]], [[Glue Storm (BCS)|Glue Storm]], [[Powerful Slowing Totem]], [[Bloon Impact (BCS)|Bloon Impact]] and [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]] can slow down the opponent from sending more Eternals.

*Self-destruction cards can build up the Eternal's Health quicker at the will of the player, but are generally less useful due to the less health gained. The most popular self-destruction card for this purpose is [[Bloon Melter]].
