'''Armored''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. When played, Dreadbloon gains +10 [[Armor]]ed, with an extra +5 per Phase~~, starting with a~~ total of +15.

'''Armored''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. When played, Dreadbloon gains 10 [[Armor]], with an extra +5 per Phase (total of 15 Armor on Phase 1, 20 Armor on Phase 2, 25 Armor on Phase 3, or 30 Armor on Phase 4). This card is exclusive to [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] and is not in the Collection.

When played, Dreadbloon shakes and gains a thick clay layer on its body (if it doesn't have it already), similarly to the card artwork. The layer disappears if its Armor is removed.

==Tips==

*Dreadbloon's Armor slightly reduces chip damage, especially from direct hits via Monkeys.

*Dreadbloon's Armor slightly reduces chip damage, especially from direct hits via Monkeys. It also punishes players who only rely on weak bloon spam or low ATK 1-delay Monkeys.

**If doing an aggro strategy and wanting to maximize score, send weak bloons early, avoid slow cheap bloons (e.g. [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]]), and use single-target HP-boosters (e.g. [[Fortify]], [[Booster Bloon]], [[Improved Fortification]]).

*Use Armor-Piercing Monkeys such as [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]] to break open Dreadbloon's Armor. However, mind that [[Rock Bloon (BCS)|Rock Bloon]]s must be popped before any Monkey can target Dreadbloon.

*[[Lead to Gold Monkey]] can generate extra income from Dreadbloon's Armor, making it helpful for affording a little more during a round.

*In game rules involving damage to Heroes per turn, Armored can help stall rounds, so Dreadbloon won't be killed too soon before the next Phase, which may contain skull effects that cripple the defense.
