The '''Buddy Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It starts with 150 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] and reduces the Attack Power of the opponent's [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] with the highest Attack Power to zero when it is played. The Attack Power reduction persists until the Buddy Bloon or the affected Monkey is removed. If multiple Monkeys have the same Attack Power, it chooses the first placed Monkey. Most secondary damage effects (e.g. [[Triple Shot (BCS)|Triple Shot]]'s Splash Damage), but not all, will also deal zero damage. It does not negate indirect damage effects, including On Fire (namely from [[Burny Stuff Mortar]]) and Acid Pool (e.g. [[Alchemist Monkey (BCS)|Alchemist Monkey]]), as well as Armor Piercing.<!--sure you could pierce armor if buddy?-->
'''Buddy Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It starts with 150 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] and reduces the ATK of the opponent's [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] with the highest ATK to zero when it is played. The ATK reduction persists until the Buddy Bloon or the affected Monkey is removed. If multiple Monkeys are tied for the highest ATK, it chooses the first placed Monkey. It affects secondary damage effects that are dependent on the target's ATK stat (e.g. [[Triple Shot (BCS)|Triple Shot]]'s [[Splash Damage]]), but not card effects that deal a fixed amount of damage (e.g. [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]]'s On Turn End, [[Bouncing Bullet (BCS)|Bouncing Bullet]]'s bounces) or [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] or [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s caused by Monkeys.

*Freeing the neutralised Monkey via popping the Buddy Bloon is difficult without the support of Powers or other Monkeys. Unless it can surely be popped within 3 turns, focusing damage on it is useless.
*Buddy Bloon is best used for countering high damage Monkeys in the early game. Targeting something like a [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]], [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] or [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] earlier on can harm opponent defenses by making strong, more expensive cards functionally useless for a while.
*Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by [[Bed Time]].
*Freeing the neutralized Monkey via popping the Buddy Bloon is difficult without the support of Powers or other Monkeys. Unless it can surely be popped within 3 turns, focusing damage on it is useless.
*Best used for countering very high damage monkeys, notably [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]] and [[The Big One (BCS)|The Big One]].
*Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by [[Bed Time]]. This combo is more expensive than [[Shrink]] and costs two cards to do, so it generally is not worth considering.
*If the opponent tries to rely on a Defender to damage bloons after their turn, Buddy Bloon can be used to negate it (provided it's the highest AP Monkey), and also waste its ammo.
*If the opponent tries to rely on a Defender to damage Bloons after their turn, Buddy Bloon can be used to negate it (provided it's the highest ATK Monkey), and also waste its ammo.
*There are two ways to reliably neutralize a Buddy Bloon: [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]] (destroys 100 or less HP bloon, ignoring Shield) or [[Energy Overload]] (destroys shielded bloon). [[Shields Down!]] can also be used to break its shield.
*A simple but cheap way to pop Buddy Bloon is [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]], which is suitable for aggro mirrors.
*Buddy Bloon does not stop "On Attack" effects, so using it on [[Burny Stuff Mortar|Burny Stuff]], [[Alchemist Monkey (BCS)|Alchemist]], or [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] is not as effective as on other Monkeys. It also has no effect on effects independent from the ATK stat, making it less effective on [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]]<!--not "useless"; you can block its defender stuff like any other defender--> and [[Bouncing Bullet (BCS)|Bouncing Bullet]].
