~~The~~ '''Aura of Strength Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. At the start of each turn, it ~~increases its own Delay by 1 and~~ adds 50 health to a random other Bloon on the player's side.

'''Aura of Strength Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It is [[immobile]], and at the start of each turn, it adds 50 health to a random other Bloon on the player's side.

~~As this~~ Bloon ~~has infinite delay~~, ~~it cannot be affected by delay modifiers (e.g.~~ [[~~Quick Ready~~]], [[~~Slowing~~ Bloon]]), and ~~always stays towards the back of the queue~~.

The card artwork depicts an Aura of Strength Bloon creating an aura near a [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]], [[Blue Bloon (BCS)|Blue Bloon]], [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]], and [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]].

==Tips==

*Aura of Strength Bloon's role is to boost friendly ~~bloons, not damage the opponent~~. However, its presence could also divert attacks that have randomness (e.g. Mortars).

*Aura of Strength Bloon's role is to boost friendly Bloons. However, its presence could also divert attacks that have randomness (e.g. Mortars). Its Health gains are slower than playing more one-delay Bloons, but makes it harder for the opponent to rely on chip damage alone if Aura of Strength Bloon isn't popped quickly.

*Multiple Aura of Strength Bloons do have the chance to buff each other, which can be useful to protect each other if the opponent lacks strong board clears. However, it'll reduce the chance to affect offensive ~~bloons~~, and can clog space for other ~~bloons~~.

*Popping the Aura of Strength Bloon should be considered if its possible targets are going to resist chip damage such as [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] or [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]. Do keep in mind though that Aura of Strength Bloon takes 3 activations to be better than a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], which is the same cost as it.

*Multiple Aura of Strength Bloons do have the chance to buff each other, which can be useful to protect each other if the opponent lacks strong board clears. However, it'll reduce the chance to affect offensive Bloons, and can clog space for other Bloons. Having multiple of them is sometimes worth it if the opponent struggles to keep up against aggression, but you may want to only play one to guarantee it buffs a target that will actually attack.

*If there's exactly one other Bloon, that Bloon will always get the extra Health.
