'''Lead Coating Factory''' is a [[Support]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It is [[temporary]] and instead of being able to attack, each time the player plays a [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]], it consumes 1 ammo to increase that Bloon's [[Armor]] by 10.

The card artwork depicts a Lead Coating Factory applying a lead coating onto a [[Green Bloon]]. A [[Red Bloon]] is behind the queue of Bloons, and a [[Lead Bloon]] in front of the queue. The background is set at lava with magma platforms.

==Tips==

*Lead Coating Factory is a useful support that allows up to 4 friendly Bloons to improve resistance versus low-hit attacks such as masses of [[Barrel of Monkeys]].

*Lead Coating Factory is a useful support that allows up to 4 friendly Bloons to improve their resistance versus low-hit attacks such as masses of [[Barrel of Monkeys]]. Its cheap cost makes it the cheapest way to put [[Armor]] on any friendly Bloon, only costing 1 Gold plus whatever the affected Bloon costs.

*Due to it being so cheap and giving a low amount of [[Armor]], Lead Coating Factory is best used in Aggro strategies that want to deal with cards such as [[Barrel of Monkeys]] or other low damaging attackers. It can be used to improve the effective health of Bloons such as [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]], [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], [[Strike Bloon]], or other general Aggro Bloons.

*Combining Lead Coating Factory with other Armored Bloons such as [[Lead Bloon (BCS)|Lead Bloon]] can make them fully immune to some attacks from low damage Monkeys like the ones from [[Barrel of Monkeys]], [[Bloontonium Miner]], or [[Triple Shot (BCS)|Triple Shot]]. Using multiple [[Armor]] cards together does make the Bloon weaker to [[Armor Piercing]], however.

*For a bit more Gold, [[Mass Lead Production]] can be used to give all of your friendly Bloons +15 [[Armor]] rather than +10. This can affect more Bloons and is stronger of an effect, but the higher Gold cost and ability to only be used after Bloons have been played still make Lead Coating Factory a viable option in Aggro decks over Mass Lead Production.
