|keywords  =Immobile, Unique

The '''ARBITR''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Large Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. While in play, it prevents the opponent's [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s from attacking at the end of the opponent's [[turn]] when they have zero Delay, and Bloons at zero Delay stay at zero Delay.

As this Bloon has infinite delay, it cannot be affected by delay reducers (e.g. [[Quick Ready]]) or delay increasers (e.g. [[Slowing Bloon]]), and always stays towards the back of the queue.

*In a situation where the opponent may win on the next turn, either naturally or via OTK, ARBITR can prevent this if the opponent lacks Gold via bloon removals or if burst damage pops the ARBITR.

**Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to burst down it or use Bloon removers such as [[Return to Sender]], [[Bloonsday Device (BCS)|Bloonsday Device]], or [[Bloon Redirect]]. [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] has [[Wrath of Dread]] to remove ARBITR.

**In a pinch versus the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], you can use ARBITR just before the round that many [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s would spawn.

*[[Improved Fortification]] and [[Lead Casing]] allows the ARBITR to withstand more damage, but watch out for a Bloon removal.

*Bloon removers versus ARBITR include [[Return to Sender]], [[Bloon Redirect]], [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (though Monkey-specific Bloon removers can be countered by having [[Target Practice Blimp]]). [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]] can also work in an emergency.

*ARBITR can be added in a deck as a bait to force the opponent to use up their board clears (especially [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]]) and Bloon removers.

**Add [[Target Practice Blimp]] and multiple standard Large Bloons (e.g. [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]]s), which can force the opponent to mutually exclusively focus on getting rid of either or the ARBITR.

*If the opponent lacks board clears and your ARBITR stops Bloons with special boosting On Turn End/Start effects (e.g. [[Steady Growth Bloon]], [[Lead Coating Bloon]]), their Bloons may actually benefit from your ARBITR.
