'''Discount Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It reduces the cost of all Discount Bloons currently in the player's hand by 1 each time it is played, including other charges of the same card. | |||
The card artwork depicts a Discount Bloon presented on top of a piece of decorated fabric, itself on top of a white block. On the window is three stickers with symbols representing a sale. The price tag, which is marked "%", is on the Bloon itself. In-game, the model is the similar to a [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]], except a little darker green and has the aforementioned price tag. | |||

*Having multiple Discount Bloons in the same hand is more cost-efficient | {{BCS last updated|6.4|section=y}} | ||
*[[ | *Having multiple Discount Bloons in the same hand is more cost-efficient as the effect of discounting affects all Discount Bloons in hand. Having multiple can create powerful swarms that can overwhelm opponents unprepared for them. | ||
*Discount Bloons are expensive at a total of 22 Gold for one copy; but their solid 220 health allows them to function as effectively a weaker but more spammable [[Ceramic Bloon (BCS)|Ceramic Bloon]]. Consider decks that like to play later and make lots of Gold with cards like [[Banana Farm (BCS)|Banana Farm]] or [[Marketplace (BCS)|Marketplace]]. | |||
*Discount Bloons as a rush are susceptible to spread damage from cards like [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]], [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] or [[Thunder Druid]]. They do not pop immediately from any of these, but take heavy damage. | |||
*Discount Bloons give a total of 22 Bloontonium per card, allowing it to give the second highest amount of Bloontonium per card out of any Bloon in the game (second to [[DDT (BCS)|DDT]]). This can be great if you need tons of Bloontonium for a hero like Adora, but its extremely high cost makes less expensive Bloontonium generators such as [[Golden Blimp]], [[Black Bloon (BCS)|Black Bloon]], [[Zebra Bloon (BCS)|Zebra Bloon]], or [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]] more viable for heroes who do not need such a huge amount of Bloontonium. | |||
*Prince of Darkness if on the field can help Discount Bloons resist the effect of cards such as [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]], [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]], [[Thunder Druid]] or [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]]. | |||

Discount Bloon was buffed in previous updates to keep it relevant as a rushing card. However, these didn't succeed, as the fundamental problem was that it was still vulnerable to being one-shot by [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]].<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> Version 6.4 completely reworked the Bloon into a variation of a theoretical Swarm Ceramic Bloon,<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> which would make discounting synergies more valuable, offer a higher Bloontonium count per card (excluding discounts to itself with additional played copies), and give Tempo decks a new card to revolve around instead of purely a gimmicky Bloon.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> More specifically, giving Tempo a practical swarm card, which opens up strategies such as [[Prince of Darkness (BCS)|Prince of Darkness]] synergy,<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> or (although not explicitly stated in OdysseyTOS's tester commentary) another practical use for [[Marketplace (BCS)|Marketplace]] pushing not only slow-moving Large Bloons. | |||
