The '''Buddy Bloon''' is an Advanced [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It starts with 150 Shield when it is played and it reduces the Attack Power of the opponent's [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] with the most Attack Power to zero while it is in play. It does not negate indirect damage effects, including On Fire (namely from [[Burny Stuff Mortar]])
'''Buddy Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It starts with 150 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] and reduces the ATK of the opponent's [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] with the highest ATK to zero when it is played. The ATK reduction persists until the Buddy Bloon or the affected Monkey is removed. If multiple Monkeys are tied for the highest ATK, it chooses the first placed Monkey. It affects secondary damage effects that are dependent on the target's ATK stat (e.g. [[Triple Shot (BCS)|Triple Shot]]'s [[Splash Damage]]), but not card effects that deal a fixed amount of damage (e.g. [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]]'s On Turn End, [[Bouncing Bullet (BCS)|Bouncing Bullet]]'s bounces) or [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] or [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s caused by Monkeys.

*Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by [[Bed Time]].
{{BCS last updated|6.2|section=y}}
*Best used for countering very high damage monkeys, notably [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]] and [[The Big One (BCS)|The Big One]].  
*Buddy Bloon is best used for countering high damage Monkeys in the early game. Targeting something like a [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]], [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] or [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] earlier on can harm opponent defenses by making strong, more expensive cards functionally useless for a while.
*Freeing the neutralized Monkey via popping the Buddy Bloon is difficult without the support of Powers or other Monkeys. Unless it can surely be popped within 3 turns, focusing damage on it is useless.
*Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by [[Bed Time]]. This combo is more expensive than [[Shrink]] and costs two cards to do, so it generally is not worth considering.
*If the opponent tries to rely on a Defender to damage Bloons after their turn, Buddy Bloon can be used to negate it (provided it's the highest ATK Monkey), and also waste its ammo.
*A simple but cheap way to pop Buddy Bloon is [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]], which is suitable for aggro mirrors.
*Buddy Bloon does not stop "On Attack" effects, so using it on [[Burny Stuff Mortar|Burny Stuff]], [[Alchemist Monkey (BCS)|Alchemist]], or [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] is not as effective as on other Monkeys. It also has no effect on effects independent from the ATK stat, making it less effective on [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]]<!--not "useless"; you can block its defender stuff like any other defender--> and [[Bouncing Bullet (BCS)|Bouncing Bullet]].

Buddy Bloon is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm. It starts with 150 Shield and reduces the ATK of the opponent's Monkey with the highest ATK to zero when it is played. The ATK reduction persists until the Buddy Bloon or the affected Monkey is removed. If multiple Monkeys are tied for the highest ATK, it chooses the first placed Monkey. It affects secondary damage effects that are dependent on the target's ATK stat (e.g. Triple Shot's Splash Damage), but not card effects that deal a fixed amount of damage (e.g. Blade Maelstrom's On Turn End, Bouncing Bullet's bounces) or On Fire or Acid Pools caused by Monkeys.

Tips

[edit | edit source]
This section was last updated for: version 6.2
  • Buddy Bloon is best used for countering high damage Monkeys in the early game. Targeting something like a Sniper Monkey, Super Monkey, Frag Bomb Shooter or Robo Monkey earlier on can harm opponent defenses by making strong, more expensive cards functionally useless for a while.
  • Freeing the neutralized Monkey via popping the Buddy Bloon is difficult without the support of Powers or other Monkeys. Unless it can surely be popped within 3 turns, focusing damage on it is useless.
  • Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by Bed Time. This combo is more expensive than Shrink and costs two cards to do, so it generally is not worth considering.
  • If the opponent tries to rely on a Defender to damage Bloons after their turn, Buddy Bloon can be used to negate it (provided it's the highest ATK Monkey), and also waste its ammo.
  • A simple but cheap way to pop Buddy Bloon is Overload, which is suitable for aggro mirrors.
  • Buddy Bloon does not stop "On Attack" effects, so using it on Burny Stuff, Alchemist, or Bloon Master Alchemist is not as effective as on other Monkeys. It also has no effect on effects independent from the ATK stat, making it less effective on Blade Maelstrom and Bouncing Bullet.

Update history

[edit | edit source]

Version 3.3

  • Neutral Delay increased ― 2 → 3
    • Note: This allows Buddy Bloon to keep its On Play effect for longer
  • Buff Health increased ― 50 → 75

Version 5.0

  • Change Description now uses the abbreviation "ATK" instead of "Attack Power"

Development

[edit | edit source]

This card existed in the data of Bloons Card Storm since the Firstlook test, and was originally named "Friendly Bloon", though it went unused until the full release. The full release changed its properties, and likely changed its name to avoid confusion (as "friendly Bloon" is also a term used in card text for any Bloon with the same owner).
