'''Red Bloon Apopalypse''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in version 3.0. It is similar to [[Red Bloon Storm]], except it fills all empty slots in both the player's and the opponent's [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] queues with [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]]s instead of just the player's. Red Bloons fill one at a time at the player's side, and then again for the opponent's side.

The card artwork depicts a city with a hazy orange-and-yellow sky saturated with many Red Bloons. A single monkey looks above with red pupils and a shocked expression on their face. The shot is at a [[wikipedia:Dutch angle|Dutch angle]], tilted to the left.

*Unlike the more common and cheaper Red Bloon Storm, Red Bloon Apopalypse is a bit of a double-edged sword. Both players simultaneously have all Red Bloons, but it will also block the opponent from sending more bloons. Fortunately, the opponent's Reds will not be a threat until your next two turns, and your Reds will come first.
*Red Bloon Apopalypse plays entirely differently from [[Red Bloon Storm]]. It's a control card mostly meant for blocking the opponent from playing and prevent the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]'s Bloons. Friendly Red Bloons serve as a downside, however, but this can be played around.
*Red Bloon Apopalypse can also block the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] from sending more bloons to both sides.
*Red Bloon Apopalypse can mutually shut down the tempo of both players, but hurts the passive player less. This hurts faster-paced tempo by slowing down their pressure and allows the other player to pile more resources defensively.
*Like going against Red Bloon Storm, [[Spike Storm!]] is a cost-effective choice against the Reds.
*Because of its high cost, 4 more Gold than Red Bloon Storm, Red Bloon Apopalypse should never be equipped for swarm synergies. The opponent may try to avoid popping your Reds so you can mutually gain its disadvantages, but the Reds remain a leaking threat until after two turns, and your Reds leak first. Still, the swarms of Reds are far less threatening than, for instance, masses of Large Bloons or Zombie-focused offense.
*If the Red Bloon Apopalypse user refuses to pop any bloons on the opponent's side, the opponent will be unable to send bloons for two turns, giving more tempo for the user.
*Leaving the Red Bloons spawned on the opponent's side unpopped has many practical benefits:
**To further stall the opponent's clogged bloon queue, [[Glue Storm (BCS)|Glue Storm]] and [[Powerful Slowing Totem]] can be combined.
**It prevents the opponent from playing any of their own Bloons for two turns, which gives more tempo for the user and stops aggro players (unless it's a swarm aggro deck that uses [[Bloon Embiggen]], which benefits them instead). This can be combined with [[Glue Storm (BCS)|Glue Storm]], [[Powerful Slowing Totem]], and/or [[ARBITR]] to add more turns.
*If enough Reds are made on the opponent's side, they'll also spam the opponent's bloon graveyard once destroyed, increasing chances for [[Reinflated]] and [[The Prestige]] to draw useless Reds instead of better bloons.
**It can block the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] from summoning more Bloons. Notable rounds include those that summon many [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s.
*Some decks that focus on the [[Extractor Bloon]] may utilize Red Bloon Apopalypse with [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s passive to feed the Extractor Bloon(s).
**Weakening the opponent's Bloons without popping them (such as by using one Spike Storm), then allowing them to leak, is an easy way to scale [[Heart of Vengeance Druid]]s.
*Use Red Bloon Apopalypse to benefit yourself in different ways:
*To avoid killing the stall, avoid cards that automatically attack, such as Mortars and [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]], as well as [[Grand Saboteur (BCS)|Grand Saboteur]]. Leaving even just one space can allow the opponent to have enough leverage next turn.
**You can lower every red bloon to the lowest possible health with the [[Heart of Vengeance Druid]], to give it a LOT of attack power.  
*Note that a player can use certain Hero abilities (mainly [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s Arrow Shot) or cards (e.g. [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]], [[Bloon Melter]], [[Enhanced Reflexes]]) to open up space for another Bloon. Both players are able to take advantage of this to send better bloons for extra pressure. To prevent some of these, [[Bloontonium Leak]] can be used before Red Bloon Apopalypse.
**[[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-O-Pult]] benefits greatly after popping red bloons, this will make it stronger.
*Once the opponent's Red Bloons are destroyed, they fill the opponent's graveyard with Red Bloons, which makes [[Reinflated]] and [[The Prestige]] less likely to draw the Bloons the opponent wants (such as [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s and [[The Eternal]]) and weakens a potential [[Bloon Amalgam]] (from [[Bloon Amalgamation]]). This is a positive for [[Eerie Lifeforce]], which gains up to +80 total for every Red Bloon Apopalypse played (depending on the number of Reds on a player's side).
**Play this while you have an Extractor Bloon in play, and have some good grouped damage like Spike Storm or Glaive Ricochet to damage all bloons and give extractor Bloon a LOT of health.
*Some decks that focus on the [[Extractor Bloon]] use Red Bloon Apopalypse with weak damage like [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s passive, Spike Storm, or [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]] to feed the Extractor Bloon(s).
**If you have [[Bloon Embiggen]] or [[Strengthenator]] you can give a LOT of health to your Red Bloons (total will be up to 200!)
*Mountain Obyn’s [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Rise!]] can be used to weaken the Red Bloon Apopalypse for relatively cheap.
**[[Bolstered Bloon]] benefits greatly for the amount of bloons that are added to your board. It can gain up to 210 health assuming the Bolstered Bloon is the only bloon you have on your board before playing Red Bloon Apopalypse
*[[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]]s can pop the opponent's Bloons to gain more Attack Power easily. Note that popping one of the opponent's Bloons right before the Storm summons a Bloon on their side will cause the Storm to fill the empty slot before the opponent can play their own Bloons, which allows the player to scale a Spike-o-Pult while still preventing the opponent from playing their own Bloons.
**This card can temporarily prevent your opponent from sending bloons, which may brick your opponent.
