Line 30:

*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]] 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 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.

If you must run a healing option, then [[Clever Yellow Bloon]] or [[Monkey Priestess]] is typically preferred.

**The only time that the inability to heal on overkill matters is when Dreadbloon is already at low health. Avoid wasting this Bloon when Dreadbloon's health is low, if possible.
