Salvation is an Exotic Power card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 5.0. It returns a friendly Monkey to the player's hand, with equivalent mechanics to Return to Sender, gives Adora 5 Bloontonium, then consumes the Bloontonium to trigger Orbs of Light. If Adora cannot use Orbs of Light (i.e. there are no Bloons on the opponent's track or Ability Ban is active), the ability does not activate and Adora keeps the extra Bloontonium. It can raise Adora's Bloontonium above her maximum Bloontonium. It can only be added to Adora decks.

Outside of Adventures and Boss Battles, this card and Return to Sender are the only way for most cards that cannot normally be added to a deck (e.g. Baby Monkey) to be in a player's hand.

Tips

This article or section is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect recent updates or newly available information. You can help out by editing this article. The editor who added this notice elaborates: v6.4 thunder druid buff and salvation buff may transform this card into a way different card

This section was last updated for: version 6.0

• For 1 less Gold than Return to Sender, Salvation allows players to reuse friendly Monkeys, mainly the re-activation of On Play effects of Monkeys or recycling cards that would be automatically removed.
  • Best candidates for On Play effects include Bloon Master Alchemist, Bionic Boomerang, Thunder Druid, and MOAB Dominator.
  • This card can recycle Temporary cards such as Robo Monkey, Corvus Academy of Arts, and Shinobi Tactics Ninja, or Monkeys that are Doomed after using Berserker Brew.
• If played when no enemy Bloons are on the field, Adora instead of activating Orbs Of Light just gains 5 Bloontonium. The 5 Bloontonium gain can be used to afford Ultimate Sacrifice sooner, as Salvation effectively acts as a Bloontonium Cache. This 5 Bloontonium gain can go over the maximum limit of 15 Bloontonium, allowing Adora to hold more than 3 possible uses of Sun Shield on a full bar.

Development

This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Does it even have an ounce of v6.2 development

Salvation's cost in Version 6.4 was reduced in cost to make it more viable as a specialized bouncer (return card), instead of having Return to Sender accomplish that role for not much more Gold. The tester commentary by OdysseyTOS states that the improved synergy with the newly buffed Thunder Druid will also make Salvation stand out.
