The '''Draining Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. When it is played, it removes all [[Bloontonium]] from the player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] (not the opponent's) and gains 30 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] per Bloontonium removed. Bloontonium is generated both before and after the shield transfer; by default, this bloon guarantees at least 150 Shield, and the player's hero gains Bloontonium equal to its Gold cost.

==Tips==
==Tips==
*If enough Bloontonium is accumulated, the Draining Bloon becomes extremely durable. However, your Hero loses all of their Bloontonium (except 5 Bloontonium), so be sure to have a steady supply of Bloontonium.
{{BCS last updated|4.0|section=y}}
**The highest Bloontonium heroes belong to [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]] and [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]], at 18; the Draining Bloon can have up to 740 effective health.<!--18*30+200-->
*If enough Bloontonium is accumulated, the Draining Bloon becomes extremely durable. However, your Hero loses all of their Bloontonium, so be sure to have a steady supply of Bloontonium.
**The highest Bloontonium hero belongs to [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]], at 20; the Draining Bloon can have up to 800 effective health.<!--20*30+200-->
**Use Bloontonium-generating Monkeys, such as multiple [[Mine Supervisor]]s and/or plenty of Bloon cards, to maintain enough Bloontonium.
*[[Return to Sender]] on an opponent's Draining Bloon will result in the opponent losing lots of Bloontonium without much benefit, if they used this card when they had lots of Bloontonium.
*[[Return to Sender]] on an opponent's Draining Bloon will result in the opponent losing lots of Bloontonium without much benefit, if they used this card when they had lots of Bloontonium.
*[[Double Trouble]] allows the Draining Bloon to keep building up shield with every new copy.
*[[Double Trouble]] allows the Draining Bloon to keep building up shield with every new copy. With enough shield,<!--imagine getting 1000+ shield... it's possible--> the Draining Bloon can only realistically be countered with insta-destroying cards (e.g. [[Extreme Heat]]) or Return to Sender.
**Double Trouble strategies may also bring [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s Fireball on friendly [[Growth Gas Bloon]] so they can add HP onto Draining Bloons.
*Watch out for [[Shields Down!]] and [[Energy Overload]], which are currently the only Shield counters in the game.
