The card artwork depicts an Elite Defender standing upright with right fist on their hips but having tired eyes while standing on a rock in a dusty desert. The monkey stands next to a flag of [[Banana Republic]]. In-game, their gun is gray instead of white. | The card artwork depicts an Elite Defender standing upright with right fist on their hips but having tired eyes while standing on a rock in a dusty desert.

* Elite Defender is usually better when kept on full Ammo to maximize its damage against leaking high-HP bloons. However, its basic shots could be helpful to do minor damage; it has 4 ammo, equivalent to [[Bionic Boomerang (BCS)|Bionic Boomerang]] with its On Play but with 20 less ATK and 1 more delay. | * Elite Defender is usually better when kept on full Ammo to maximize its damage against leaking high-HP bloons.

* It is best not to entirely rely on Elite Defender to defend against the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]'s [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloons]], because there is a chance that it will be stunned on those rounds, or the opponent can use sabotage cards such as [[Whoops]] or [[Ceasefire]]. | * It is best not to entirely rely on Elite Defender to defend against the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]'s [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloons]], because there is a chance that it will be stunned on those rounds, or the opponent can use sabotage cards such as [[Whoops]] or [[Ceasefire]]. | ||

The community playtesters for Version 5.2 proposed a rework to both Tack Sprayer and Elite Defender in an effort to limit Tack Sprayer's Zee Jay synergy but improve overall Defender bonuses of both Monkeys. Tack Sprayer had its ammo reduced (4 → 3) but ATK increased (25 → 30) along with increased Defender bonus (+15 → +20). Elite Defender's ammo was increased (3 → 4) but ATK decreased (50 → 35). After these reworks, both Monkeys have the same Defender damage. | The community playtesters for Version 5.2 proposed a rework to both Tack Sprayer and Elite Defender in an effort to limit Tack Sprayer's Zee Jay synergy but improve overall Defender bonuses of both Monkeys.

A damage buff for Elite Defender was added in Version 6.4 to let it defend easier,<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> with the amount letting it handle cases where [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]] are buffed by both Dark Castle and [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]], and just improving its burst (despite OdysseyTOS not mentioning this explicitly). | |||
