'''Rad Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Large Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|3.0}}. It generates one Rad Token at the start of each turn while in play, unless it is moved to a non-[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] player's side via [[Bloon Redirect]], as only Zee Jay can use Rad Tokens. It is created by Zee Jay's Rad Bloon Time! ability and does not appear in the Collection. When played with Rad Bloon Time!, this Bloon's health will be 60 times the number of Rad Tokens removed upon using the ability, though if moved to the player's hand with [[Return to Sender]], it reverts to having 60 health. | |||

If they have [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s passive, more tokens are necessary (+1 Rad Token per 2 sunbeams). At 7 gold per [[Quick Ready]], one is almost required to use multiple [[MOAB Construction Facility|MOAB Construction Facilities]] to provide the same benefit, but will cost some more Rad Tokens to OTK. At worst, 3 Facilities only requires 2 extra tokens for a total of 11<!--11*60-150=510-->. | ||
