*Boomerang Monkey heavily relies on its back hit to compete against other early-game options, by default dealing 10 damage more than its main attack. If it hits two Bloons per turn, it does 50 damage per turn. If possible, always let it attack the Bloon ahead of the Bloon that should take the most damage. | *Boomerang Monkey heavily relies on its back hit to compete against other early-game options, by default dealing 10 damage more than its main attack.

During Version 6.2 playtesting, the Boomerang Monkey got reworked to have a stronger back hit compared to the base ATK, as initially proposed by Ninja Kiwi.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-reddit">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1pok1pk/62_beta_changes_that_didnt_make_it_into_the_game/|title=6.2 Beta Changes That Didn't Make It Into The Game (w/ tester notes)|publisher=Reddit, r/bloonscardstorm}}</ref> A community playtester noted that this indirectly buffed [[Rang Bloon (BCS)|Rang Bloon]] as well, and congratulated Boomerang Monkey's long-requested buff since the last time it got nerfed into irrelevancy (due to it being considered outclassed by many other early-game Monkeys since launch).<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTs-Rj9TCVw|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=YouTube, Odyssey}}</ref> | During Version 6.2 playtesting, the Boomerang Monkey got reworked to have a stronger back hit compared to the base ATK, as initially proposed by Ninja Kiwi.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-reddit">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1pok1pk/62_beta_changes_that_didnt_make_it_into_the_game/|title=6.2 Beta Changes That Didn't Make It Into The Game (w/ tester notes)|publisher=Reddit, r/bloonscardstorm}}</ref> A community playtester noted that this indirectly buffed [[Rang Bloon (BCS)|Rang Bloon]] as well, and congratulated Boomerang Monkey's long-requested buff since the last time it got nerfed into irrelevancy (due to it being considered outclassed by many other early-game Monkeys since launch).<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTs-Rj9TCVw|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=YouTube, Odyssey}}</ref> | ||
Version 6.4 buffed Boomerang Monkey with the incentive for retaining the uniqueness of the back hit bonus relative to the main hit, but with a focus on indirectly buffing [[Rang Bloon (BCS)|Rang Bloon]] as a better rival compared to [[Bomb Bloon (BCS)|Bomb Bloon]]; new Boomerang costs the same as Bomb but is not as bad for pure early-game defense anymore.<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> | |||
