*Extractor Bloon rewards players for doing lots of individual hits to enemy Bloons. It's as slow as [[~~MOAB~~ (BCS)|~~MOAB]]s and [[BFB (BCS)|BFB~~]]s, but deadly when allowed to build its health. It's more of a midrange's version of [[Bolstered Bloon]] but boosted by attacking enemy bloons, rather than playing friendly Bloons. Due to its low initial health and difficult scaling method, it is often recommended to use [[Damaged MOAB]] in decks over it instead.

*Extractor Bloon rewards players for doing lots of individual hits to enemy Bloons. It's as slow as [[Rainbow Bloon (BCS)|Rainbow Bloon]]s, but deadly when allowed to build its health. It's more of a midrange's version of [[Bolstered Bloon]] but boosted by attacking enemy bloons, rather than playing friendly Bloons. Due to its low initial health and difficult scaling method, it is often recommended to use [[Damaged MOAB]] in decks over it instead.

**Extractor can be a threat if not dealt with while sending Bloons, but due to its high delay you often have time to prepare for it. Extractor Bloon is best dealt with when it’s low on health. Waiting for it to scale can make it much more difficult to kill.

*[[Spike Storm!]], [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]] and [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]] gives lots of HP if the opponent has plenty of Bloons.

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a buff to Extractor Bloon by adding 50 Shield, which was left unchanged for the update.

Version 6.4 reduced the Extractor Bloon's delay so it can be more consistent in general, as it was hard to scale in all situations, and only stood out when it was properly scaled, resulting in an overall buff to the Bloon in most situations.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s</ref> While its fundamental mechanics are hard to balance, these changes let it proc the effect more often.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" />
