'''Mountain Obyn''' is a [[Hero Alt]] of [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. He costs {{BCS mm|2000|name=y|link=y}} to unlock.

Mountain Obyn is a more offensive Obyn that can also summon [[Sentinel Bloon]]s.~~<ref name="nk-devjuly102025">[https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1lw1yog/dev_diary_july_10th_2025/ Dev Diary - July 10th 2025]</ref>~~ He has three abilities:

Mountain Obyn is a more offensive Obyn that can also summon [[Sentinel Bloon]]s. He has three active abilities:

*'''Summon Sentinel:''' Creates a [[Sentinel Bloon]], a Bloon with the Must Pop property, and deals 30 damage to the opponent's Hero when popped but does no damage if leaked.~~<ref name="nk-v5reveal">[https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1m2qlh1/bloons_card_storm_v50_preview_notes/ Bloons Card Storm v5.0 - Preview Notes]</ref>~~

*'''Summon Sentinel''' — Creates a Sentinel Bloon, a Bloon with the [[Must Pop]] property, and deals 30 damage to the opponent's Hero when popped but does no damage if leaked.

*'''Rise!:''' ~~Damages~~ all enemy Bloons ~~that still survive~~ at the end of the opponent's turn.~~<ref name="nk-v5reveal" />~~

*'''Rise!''' — Places brambles on all the opponent's [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] spaces (in order of first space to last space), which deal 25 damage to all enemy Bloons at the end of the opponent's turn and disappear at the start of the player's next turn. Brambles replace any [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s on the opponent's side, and Acid Pools replace brambles if placed after its activation. Activating this ability again in the same turn replaces all brambles and Acid Pools with new brambles.

*'''Summon Dire Wolf:''' Adds a [[Dire Wolf]]~~, which deals splash damage,~~ to the player's hand.~~<ref name="nk-v5reveal" />~~

*'''Summon Dire Wolf''' — Adds a [[Dire Wolf]] to the player's hand. Dire Wolves deal more damage than the ordinary [[Wolf]] and do [[Splash Damage|splash damage]].

~~==Differences from Obyn Greenfoot==~~

~~~~

*18 Bloontonium capacity instead of 13.

*First ability summons [[Sentinel Bloon]] instead of [[Wolf]].

*Second ability is an activated ability that at end of turn deals 30 damage to all enemy Bloons, instead of a passive that gains +20 Shield.

*Third and ~~final ability costs 18 Bloontonium and summons a~~ [[~~Dire Wolf~~]]~~, instead of deal 100 damage to target Bloon and +2 Gold~~.

==Strategy==

~~{{BCS last updated~~|5.~~0|section=y}}~~

Overall, Mountain Obyn is somewhat versatile for many playstyles. His strongest archetype is midrange. Outside of aggro, most Mountain Obyn players strive to build Bloontonium quickly to build [[Dire Wolf|Dire Wolves]] as soon as possible for their high splash damage. [[Sentinel Bloon]]s can provide pressure by diverting Monkey attacks and chipping Hero Health, making it suitable for burn decks. His favored maps include Bloontonium Refinery, due to the extra starting Bloontonium, and Badlands, which increases effectiveness of Sentinel Bloons as finishers. Rise is beneficial for dealing with large amounts of Bloons at once, and may help leverage a few turns before getting another Dire Wolf.

~~{{empty}}~~

Mountain Obyn's favored cards are similar to those from Obyn, however, Mountain Obyn's lesser Shield sources mean he is not compatible with passive control decks. [[Howl]] is pretty strong, however for him it is weak in the early-game due to his slow Dire Wolf production.

===Tips===

~~{{BCS last updated|5.0|section=y}}~~

*Unlike normal Obyn, Mountain Obyn has fewer ways to generate Shield. Use his [[Wall Of Trees (BCS)|Wall of Trees]] and [[Nature's Clarity]] for shield, and versus Storm Pinks use Rise to lower their HP.
