~~The~~ '''Missile Launcher''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. When it attacks, it attacks the target [[~~Bloon (BCS)~~|~~Bloon~~]] ~~twice, and it removes all Armor~~ from the target before dealing damage. If the first attack reduces the target's health to 0 or lower, the target still takes the second attack before it pops, and it still triggers effects that activate upon dealing damage (such as [[Growth Gas Bloon]]s and [[Extractor Bloon]]s).

The second attack cannot be interrupted by being [[stun]]ned after the first attack (e.g. targeting a [[Stun Gas Bloon]]).

The card artwork depicts a Missile Launcher with two missiles flying upwards and around. One missile is pointing downwards, another upwards. The setting is at evening. A [[Blue Bloon]] and [[Yellow Bloon]] are nearby.

*An efficient but ~~rarer~~ [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]] that does more damage against single targets and has a faster reload (2 instead of 3). Compared to [[MOAB Mauler (BCS)|MOAB Mauler]], Missile Launcher synergizes better with buffs but lacks extra Ammo to pick different targets.

*An efficient but 3 Gold extra [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]] that does more damage against single targets and has a faster reload (2 instead of 3). Compared to [[MOAB Mauler (BCS)|MOAB Mauler]], Missile Launcher synergizes better with both ammo and ATK buffs, but lacks extra Ammo to pick different targets.

**It synergizes decently from [[Monkey Village (BCS)|Monkey Village]], [[Try this!]], and [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]]'s final ability and his ammo-specific cards ([[Orders Received]], [[Artillery Command]]).

**Against Bosses, [[Berserker Brew (BCS)|Berserker Brew]] allows Missile Launcher to do extreme Boss damage, and can wipe out an entire phase in a single turn.

*Missile Launcher has the highest damage per shot to a single target out of any non-Unique Monkey that doesn't having scaling mechanics, even the [[MOAB Mauler (BCS)|MOAB Mauler]] versus Large Bloons (110 instead of 130).

*While being Rare doesn't normally affect gameplay, it does affect [[Rare Power]], which saturates the pool of Rares against other Rares like [[Quick Ready]].
