Nested Blue is a Basic Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm. It spawns a Red Bloon if it is destroyed, which does not inherit any modified properties of its parent (e.g. its Delay or being On Fire). Leaking a Nested Blue will not decrease delay of its summoned Bloon. It can be summoned by the Nested Green, which itself can be summoned by a Nested Yellow.

The card artwork depicts two Nested Blues in the sky. The Nested Blue in the foreground is spinning around, with a white motion trail.

• Nested Blues have the same cost and HP as normal Blue Bloons except have only 1 charge, 1 delay, but can spawn extra Bloons. However, the total HP from a Nested Blue card is less than a normal Blue Bloon (90 HP instead of 120 HP), and its total delay with the Red Bloon is 4, which is significantly higher than any other 1 or 2 cost Bloon.
• The extra Red Bloon inside forces the opponent to use low damage attackers like Alchemist Monkey instead of high ATK burst ones like Sniper Monkey.
• Compared to the other Nested Bloons, playing a Nested Blue is easier early on due to cost, and is a decent choice for that. It can synergize with cards that affect all Bloons on board like Bloon Embiggen because it will stay on board for longer, or cards that trigger when a Bloon is played like Bolstered Bloon or Ceramic Glazing Kiln.
• Nested Blue also exists within Nested Green and Nested Yellow cards, however those cards are extremely weak.
• It is possible to use Quincy's minor ability Arrow Shot to pop the Nested Bloons when they are about to leak with very low health to make its next Bloon faster, however that is not recommended with Nested Blue.
• This card is very similar to Zombie Blue Bloon, another 1 cost 1 charge 4 total delay Bloon. Unlike it, Nested Blue has higher on play pressure and higher total health (90 compared to 80), but it doesn't synergize with Undead Bloon synergizers like Ezili and Dart Arts Wizard.

Update history

Version 2.2

•  Effect is now triggered On Destroyed instead of On Popped, allowing it to summon if it hits the opposing Hero
•  Description changed ― "On Popped: Spawns a Red Bloon" → "On Destroyed: Summons a Red Bloon"

Version 3.0

•  Health reduced ― 60 → 50

Version 5.0

•  If the board is full, Bloons that summon other Bloons will now allow at least one offspring to summon if that parent disappears (bug fix)
•  Bloons summoned at the end of a turn no longer decrement their delay on the same turn (undocumented)

Version 6.4

“

All of the Blues got buffed by +10 because every single Blue was pretty weak. They were just slow and you actually had to pay money for them, which made them a lot worse than Red in practically every situation, so all of them got +10 health to make them a little bit more viable.
— u/No-Appearance1780's commentary, 1:22–3:41 (with most disfluencies removed)

”

•  Health increased ― 50 → 60
  • Note: Total Health pool increased from 90 to 100

Development

Version 6.4 buffed the Blue Bloon and all of the Blues. Specific to Blue Bloon, Swarm Blue, Clever Blue, and Nested Blue, all of them felt expensive for how much they could pressure for Gold, compared to Red Bloon. Additionally, Nested Blue became a much better tank for Camos.
