**It can block the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] from summoning more Bloons. Notable rounds include those that summon many [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s.

**Weakening the opponent's Bloons without popping them (such as by using one Spike Storm), then allowing them to leak, is an easy way to scale [[Heart of Vengeance Druid]]s.

*To avoid killing the stall, avoid cards that automatically attack, such as Mortars and [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]], as well as [[Grand Saboteur]]. Leaving even just one space can allow the opponent to have enough leverage next turn.

*Note that a player can use certain Hero abilities (mainly [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s Arrow Shot) or cards (e.g. [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]], [[Bloon Melter]], [[Enhanced Reflexes]]) to open up space for another Bloon. Both players are able to take advantage of this to send better bloons for extra pressure. To prevent some of these, [[Bloontonium Leak]] can be used before Red Bloon Apopalypse.

*Once the opponent's Red Bloons are destroyed, they fill the opponent's graveyard with Red Bloons, which makes [[Reinflated]] and [[The Prestige]] less likely to draw the Bloons the opponent wants (such as [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s and [[The Eternal]]) and weakens a potential [[Bloon Amalgam]] (from [[Bloon Amalgamation]]).

This is a positive for [[Eerie Lifeforce]], which gains up to +80 total for every Red Bloon Apopalypse played (depending on the number of Reds on a player's side).

*Some decks that focus on the [[Extractor Bloon]] use Red Bloon Apopalypse with weak damage like [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s passive, Spike Storm, or [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]] to feed the Extractor Bloon(s).

*~~Red Bloon Apopalypse may also reduce chances for a successful~~ [[~~Hastening Bloon~~]] ~~on either side if~~ the ~~Reds are not 0 delay~~.

*Mountain Obyn’s [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Rise!]] can be used to weaken the Red Bloon Apopalypse for relatively cheap.

*[[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]]s can pop the opponent's Bloons to gain more Attack Power easily. Note that popping one of the opponent's Bloons right before the Storm summons a Bloon on their side will cause the Storm to fill the empty slot before the opponent can play their own Bloons, which allows the player to scale a Spike-o-Pult while still preventing the opponent from playing their own Bloons.

*Unlike versus Red Bloon Storm, [[Spike Storm!]] should be primarily used to weaken the opponent's Reds without popping them. However, Spike Storm! is still useful in Extractor synergies.
