Amelia has no self-defense, but compensates by shielding Bloons, decreasing cost of Powers, and removing Monkeys at will. Thus, she is an excellent option for combo decks, provided other Monkeys can defend long enough for her to finish off the opponent. Most of her hero-exclusive cards are helpful, but not required to take full advantage of herself. | Amelia has no self-defense, but compensates by shielding Bloons, decreasing cost of Powers, and removing Monkeys at will.

She isn't as versatile for aggro as [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]], as his Passive Awesomeness can often give more HP than her Shield to better targets, such as always being able to target [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] with Passive Awesomeness instead of shielding Bloons behind it. Instead, focus on swarming the opponent and using powers to protect Bloons such as [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] and [[Steady Growth Bloon]]. | ||
Burn Amelia is one of her best strategies. Using Amelia’s Act of Power allows her to get powerful burn damage such as [[Double Yellow Bloon|Double Yellow]] + [[Quick Ready]] or [[MOAB Strike]] for a cheaper price than any other hero, and attacking the opponent with low delay Bloons can also be made easier by using Grand Disappearance to remove Defenders or other important Monkeys that the enemy has. This notably has a good matchup versus Control decks, which makes Amelia very solid against control heroes. Beware of [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora]], who has a good matchup against this deck. | |||

There are two common goals for midrange Amelia users: either spamming Grand Disappearance on opponent Monkeys to weaken the opponent, or using Act of Power to gain an advantage in building up a wincon. These decks should equip [[Quick Ready]] and other power-specific finishers as the main wincon. OTK Amelia decks often take advantage of boosted Double Bloons (particularly [[Double Yellow Bloon|Double Yellow]]s, [[Double Ceramic Bloon|Double Ceramics]], or [[Double Rainbow Bloon|Double Rainbow]]s). On the other hand, some decks may focus entirely on duplicating [[The Eternal]] as much as possible. | ||
Her weakest deck archetype is control; this archetype does not heavily depend on spending Gold in the late rounds, rendering Amelia's only purpose in those decks to keep removing opponent Monkeys. However, an opponent's own removal cards or Amelia may leave a control Amelia exposed without her fragile setups with Monkeys that compensate her complete lack of defense, and Bloontonium resources (if applicable). | Her weakest deck archetype is control; this archetype does not heavily depend on spending Gold in the late rounds, rendering Amelia's only purpose in those decks to keep removing opponent Monkeys.

The [[Bloons Card Storm Firstlook test|Firstlook test]] included text, code, and placeholder images for a Hero named '''Bloonifer the Amazing'''. This Hero had icons depicting her as a wizard with green fur and had the description "Uses the power of Bloontonium to summon and heal Bloons". Her name was changed to Amelia the Amazing in the [[Bloons Card Storm Full Playable test|Full Playable test]], which also featured her final design on the title screen and main menu (though her in-game assets were not changed at the time). The final game replaced her placeholder assets with her final design and replaced her abilities with ones that were originally intended for a Hero named "Zoom-Jam" (who was seemingly reworked into [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]). | |||
