'''Stunning Shot''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It [[stunned|stuns]] the selected [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] for one turn, and can target a Bloon on either side. It can only be ~~equipped~~ to [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] decks.

The card artwork depicts Quincy loading an arrow tipped with a boxing glove. He is standing on a rocky platform near a volcano.

{{outdated|v6.4 buff for anti-aggro especially (anti-tempo kinda works nicely too)}}

*With two charges, Stunned can be used to stall up to two Bloons. It ~~is more versatile than the less common Monkey counterpart, [[Stunned (card)|Stunned]], and~~ a cheaper Bloonless substitute for [[Slowing Bloon]].

*With two charges, Stunned can be used to stall up to two Bloons. It's a cheaper Bloonless substitute for [[Slowing Bloon]].

**On enemy Bloons, it is more effective than [[Slowing Bloon]], as stunning a Bloon not only delays it by 1 turn, it prevents it from attacking your Hero (especially via [[Quick Ready]] for 0 delay).

**On friendly Bloons, it can be used to stall out for useful Bloon abilities (e.g. [[Lead Coating Bloon]]'s Armor granting), or to waste enemy cards that rely on a single turn (e.g. [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]]'s [[Immunity (card)|Immunity]]).

*Stunning Shot is generally not a common option, but as a budget card, it can be useful for Quincy players going later on in the game. If you have it, [[Slowing Bloon]] generally outclasses Stunning Shot. Although Slowing Bloon costs more and increases delay instead of stunning, it additionally puts a threat on the field and it gives 3 [[Bloontonium]] (up to 6 with 2 charges), which for Quincy can be used to activate [[Quincy (BCS)|Perceptive Shot]].
