'''Desperate Defense''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in version 3.0. It increases the ~~Attack Power~~ of all [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s on the player's side by 25 until the start of the player's next turn.

'''Desperate Defense''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in version 3.0. It increases the ATK of all [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s on the player's side by 25 until the start of the player's next turn. The player cannot play it if they control no Monkeys.

The card art depicts a Dart Monkey and a Boomerang Monkey fearfully looking up at an approaching Bloon rush, while the other monkeys are running around in panic, at the [[Town Center]] map from ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

~~{{outdated}}~~

*~~This is~~ a ~~very low impact card~~. ~~Not many~~ Monkeys ~~have high enough ammo early on~~ to ~~warrant~~ this card to ~~tackle the first few rounds~~, ~~and most Monkeys later on have~~ high ~~enough damage that more effective control cards outclass it~~.

*Players should avoid adding too many of Desperate Defense in their decks. It's meant to be a last resort to boost friendly Monkeys, as its name suggests; too many of them may clog the hand at an inappropriate moment if unlucky.

*Desperate Defense gives enough of a damage bonus to be useable for all stages of the game. For early stages, it works with decks with lots of cheap Monkeys such as [[Barrel of Monkeys]], and later in the game allows players to cycle through any excess spare Monkeys to take advantage of the extra damage per shot.

*Although the effect itself isn’t weak, the low amount of value this card adds to a deck makes it generally not a great choice in almost any deck. If you are going to use it, cards with high ammo are preferred, such as [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] or [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]].

Version 6.4 added a slight buff to ATK benefit, and in addition to [[Stylish Finish]] nerf it makes the lesser used Desperate Defense card more viable.<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>
