==Tips==
==Tips==
*Double Blue does not possess many standout qualities. Most combos involving Double Bloons are more efficient with other types, and an unbuffed Double Blue does less damage than a normal [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], while effectively taking twice the damage as a normal bloon would. It's still strong if buffed, such as [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Passive Awesomeness and [[Booster Bloon]].

**For [[Improved Fortification]] strategies in aggro, [[Double Red Bloon]] can survive one [[Spike Storm!]] and is 1 gold cheaper. Double Blue can survive two Spike Storms on Dark Castle, however.
{{BCS last updated|6.2|section=y}}
**For combo decks utilizing [[Quick Ready]], [[Double Yellow Bloon]] costs the same as Double Blue + [[Fortify]] with the same HP,<!--60+50 vs 110--> but grants 2 extra Bloontonium without needing an extra card.
*Double Blue does not possess many standout qualities. Most combos involving Double Bloons are more efficient with other types, and an unbuffed Double Blue does less damage than a normal [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], while effectively taking twice the damage as a normal bloon would. It can deal decent damage if buffed, such as with [[Zany Juice]] or [[Booster Bloon]].
**For Amelia Double Bloon strategies, two Double Red Bloons or one [[Double Green Bloon]] are less awkward for unlocking her Bloon Shield.
**[[Double Red Bloon]] can survive one [[Spike Storm!]] and is 1 gold cheaper. Double Blue can survive two Spike Storms on Dark Castle, and one shot from [[Bionic Boomerang (BCS)|Bionic Boomerang]], but both Double Bloons are generally poor at surviving versus an even decently prepared opponent.
*Double Blue Bloon does stand out in niche cases, besides just extra variety for early-game Double Bloons.
**For combo decks using [[Quick Ready]], [[Double Yellow Bloon]] costs the same as Double Blue + [[Fortify]] with the same HP,<!--60+50 vs 110--> but grants 2 extra Bloontonium without needing an extra card. [[Double Green Bloon]] with [[Eerie Lifeforce]], while costing more, has a much higher amount of potential damage as a finisher due to Eerie’s scaling.
**Double Blue survives versus two unbuffed [[Dart Monkey Twins]] and pairs well with [[Fortify]] as a followup; this stands out on exactly Round 2 for both players.<!--p1_r2: 3, p2_r2:4, p1_r3: 6, p2_r3: 7-->
*Double Blue in general is not worth putting in a deck almost ever due to its very low health and subpar damage both in Aggro and in OTK strategies.  
**Zee Jay can give a larger HP buff, due to the extra Bloontonium gains compared to Double Reds.

For Version 6.4, Double Red, Double Blue, Double Green, and Double Ceramic all had their health increased by 10 in order to improve their viability without dependence on health buffs.<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> Although not stated in the commentary by OdysseyTOS, the Double Blue buff also makes it do more damage than a normal Yellow.
