'''Ghostly Armor''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|6.0}}. It grants the player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] 40 [[Armor]], then removes 40 Armor at the start of the player's next turn.

The card artwork features [[Ezili]] with many ghosts surrounding her.

==Tips==

*Ghostly Armor can be used to protect against swarms of Bloons, including an opponent's swarm aggro, [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]]'s Yellows, or the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]'s Pink Bloons. It is suitable for some archetypes, but the general low value of the card vs anything but Aggro makes it a waste of space in a deck if it already is good at dealing with Aggro.

*Ghostly Armor can be used by Aggro decks to protect against damage from opposing Aggro decks.

*Ghostly Armor can be used by Aggro decks to protect against damage from opposing Aggro decks. It competes with [[Spike Storm!]] but is more Gold efficient if the leaking occurs on the same turn, and does not care about Bloons with [[Armor]].

*The Armor gained from Ghostly Armor protects from all hits of [[Double Attack]] or [[Triple Attack]] Bloons. Unlike healing effects, it can also protect against surprise damage, such as [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]; however the opponent will likely just choose to not attack with [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloons]] the turn Ghostly Armor is up.

*Ghostly Armor also lowers damage from self-inflicted sources such as [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]]'s Sacrificial Totem and her [[Monkey Summons]] card.

*Ghostly Armor can protect against Mountain Obyn’s [[Sentinel Bloon|Sentinel Bloons]] if played before popping them. It can also be used late game to nullify a [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]]~~, allowing one extra turn to stall~~.

*Ghostly Armor can protect against Mountain Obyn’s [[Sentinel Bloon|Sentinel Bloons]] if played before popping them. It can also be used late game to nullify the damage caused by [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]].

*Since Ghostly Armor doesn't reduce damage dealt to Shields, it is useless if the player's Shield blocks all of the damage before their next turn.
