War Bonds: Difference between revisions

Tips: reworded that final tip, I've had games where I needed to hold war bonds to storm OTK on light tempo/eco midrange, so it's definitely a thing, just not useful as a direct gameplan.

'''War Bonds''' is an upcoming [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It generates [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] equal to the number of [[Military]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s in play on the player's side. It can only be used in [[Colonel Striker Jones (BCS)|Colonel Striker Jones]] decks.<ref name="bcs-dev-diary-7-may-2025">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1khcd6h/dev_diary_may_8th_2025/|title=BCS Dev Diary - May 7th 2025|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=7 may 2025}}</ref>
'''War Bonds''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It generates [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] equal to the number of [[Military]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s in play on the player's side. It cannot be used if the player has max Gold, but can be used if there's no friendly Military Monkeys, which just consumes the card. It can only be added to [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] decks.
 
==Tips==
{{BCS last updated|6.2|section=y}}
*For Military Striker decks, this is a better [[Cash Drop (BCS)|Cash Drop]]. It also has 2 charges instead of 1, so having even just one Military Monkey nets more Gold. However, more specific deckbuilding with Military Monkeys is necessary, reducing choice of Monkeys to bring value to this card.
*Having a mix of cheap Military Monkeys is recommended to allow War Bonds to gain more value early on. Some of the best examples include [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], [[Mortar Monkey (BCS)|Mortar Monkey]], [[Shell Shock Mortar]], and [[Burny Stuff Mortar]].
*War Bonds is suitable for midrange Striker Military decks that afford expensive rushes and Monkeys while also having [[Quick Ready]] combos as wincons.
*As a last ditch effort, since this card generates Gold after the start of the turn, it can enable combos which otherwise require 20 Gold, such as three [[Quick Ready|Quick Readies]].
