'''Lead Casing''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Advanced Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It increases a target [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]'s [[Armor]] by 25.

The card artwork depicts a [[Blue Bloon]] being operated by many robotic arms carrying pieces of Lead plates towards the Bloon. The location is set at an industry line in a factory.

==Tips==

*Lead Casing ~~helps~~ an ~~individual Bloon be more protected against low-damage attacks, for a high~~ cost. However, ~~if the opponent's Monkeys have~~ Armor ~~Piercing~~, the ~~investment can be wasted unless they're on cooldown or have no~~ more ~~Armor Piercing sources left~~.

*~~Note that~~ the opponent ~~may still use~~ Bloon removers ~~such as~~ [[Return to Sender]], [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] to ~~neutralize~~ the ~~investment~~ of Lead Casing.

*The main use of Lead Casing is stacking Armor on existing Bloons for an expensive cost. However, every other Armor-building card is simply more dependable, even though the alternatives are more effective with groups of Bloons instead of a single Bloon.

*The strength of this card mostly depends if the opponent lacks anything to pop down the target before enough Armor gets stacked. This card is very easy to brick the hand for the investment required, being unviable in Aggro, and is hard-countered by [[Armor Piercing]] and Bloon removers (e.g. [[Return to Sender]], [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]]).

*Most human players avoid Lead Casing. Not only are there a wide variety of hard counters to it, any competent Tempo deck has so many methods of dealing high damage (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]]) that exceeds the amount of Armor that Lead Casing can provide.
