'''Amelia the Amazing''' is a [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. She can be unlocked from the [[Store (BCS)|Store]] by purchasing her for {{BCS mm|2000}} or by purchasing the Amelia Hero Bundle or Amelia Mega Bundle for real money.

Amelia uses magic tricks to activate a variety of effects. She can ~~shield her side's~~ [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s, reduce the cost of [[Power (BCS)|Power]] [[card]]s, and remove [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s from the board.

*'''Bloon Shield''' — Passively adds 30 ~~[[Shield (BCS)|~~Shield]] to the last Bloon in the player's Bloon track at the end of each turn. This triggers after On Fire ~~deals~~ damage.

*'''Bloon Shield''' — Passively adds 30 Shield to the last Bloon in the player's Bloon track at the end of each turn. This triggers after [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] Bloons take damage, but before track hazards (e.g. [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s) deal damage.

*'''Act of Power''' — Reduces the cost of the next Power card the player plays by up to 4 [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]], to a minimum cost of 0. For Powers with multiple charges, only one usage is discounted. Powers that have a base Gold cost of 0 are not discounted, but can still consume the effect. Powers that cost [[Bloontonium]] instead of Gold are not discounted and do not consume the effect. Any Powers drawn after activating the ability, but before playing the next Power, are not discounted and do not consume the effect. The player can activate the ability even if there are no Powers in their hand. The player cannot activate Act of Power if the ~~effect~~ from a previous activation has not yet been consumed.

*'''Act of Power''' — Reduces the cost of the next Power card the player plays by up to 4 [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]], to a minimum cost of 0. For Powers with multiple charges, only one usage is discounted. Powers that have a base Gold cost of 0 are not discounted, but can still consume the effect. Powers that cost [[Bloontonium]] instead of Gold are not discounted and do not consume the effect. Any Powers drawn after activating the ability, but before playing the next Power, are not discounted and do not consume the effect. The player can activate the ability even if there are no Powers in their hand. The player cannot activate Act of Power if the discount from a previous activation has not yet been consumed.

*'''Grand Disappearance''' — Removes a target Monkey from either player's side.

==Exclusive cards==

==Strategy==

Amelia has no self-defense, but compensates by shielding Bloons, decreasing cost of Powers, and removing Monkeys at will. Thus, she is an excellent option for combo decks, provided other Monkeys can defend long enough for her to finish off the opponent. Most of her hero-exclusive cards are helpful, but not required to take full advantage of herself.

Amelia aggro is not as strong as before the nerfed delay of Reds and Blues, but still ~~decent~~ if focused around protecting ~~bloons~~ and combos with [[Bloon Embiggen]], and sometimes with one [[Quick Ready]]. She isn't as versatile for aggro as [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]], as he can often give more HP than her Shield, ~~and he has abilities that directly fuel his aggression~~. Instead, focus on ~~swarms~~ and ~~scaling bloons~~ such as [[~~Bolstered~~ Bloon]] and [[Steady Growth Bloon]].

Amelia aggro is not as strong as before the nerfed delay of Reds and Blues, but still good if focused around protecting Bloons and combos with [[Bloon Embiggen]], and sometimes with one [[Quick Ready]]. She isn't as versatile for aggro as [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]], as his Passive Awesomeness can often give more HP than her Shield to better targets, such as always being able to target [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] with Passive Awesomeness instead of shielding Bloons behind it. Instead, focus on swarming the opponent and using powers to protect Bloons such as [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] and [[Steady Growth Bloon]].

Midrange Amelia is fairly difficult to execute but much more versatile when using a combo deck in mind. There are two common goals for midrange Amelia users: either spamming Grand Disappearance on opponent Monkeys to weaken the opponent, or ~~utilizing~~ Act of Power to gain an advantage in building up a wincon. These decks should equip [[Quick Ready]] and other power-specific finishers as the main wincon. OTK Amelia decks often take advantage of boosted Double Bloons (particularly [[Double Yellow Bloon|Double Yellow]]s, [[Double Ceramic Bloon|Double Ceramics]], or [[Double Rainbow Bloon|Double Rainbow]]s). On the other hand, some decks may focus entirely on duplicating [[The Eternal]] as much as possible.

Burn Amelia is one of her best strategies. Using Amelia’s Act of Power allows her to get powerful burn damage such as [[Double Yellow Bloon|Double Yellow]] + [[Quick Ready]] or [[MOAB Strike]] for a cheaper price than any other hero, and attacking the opponent with low delay Bloons can also be made easier by using Grand Disappearance to remove Defenders or other important Monkeys that the enemy has. This notably has a good matchup versus Control decks, which makes Amelia very solid against control heroes. Beware of [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora]], who has a good matchup against this deck.

On the other hand, some decks may focus entirely on duplicating [[The Eternal]] as much as possible.

Her weakest deck archetype is control; this archetype does not heavily depend on spending Gold in the late rounds, rendering Amelia's only purpose in those decks to keep removing opponent Monkeys. However, an opponent's own removal cards or Amelia may leave a control Amelia exposed without her fragile setups with Monkeys that compensate her complete lack of defense, and Bloontonium resources (if applicable).

**Some combos are only possible with Amelia in certain conditions.

***For Triple Quick Ready on a sent [[Double Rainbow Bloon]], it costs exactly 20 Gold if two Acts of Power were activated for the two of the Quick Readies (the second provided by the Double Rainbow, first is prepared in advance); it doesn't need [[Quincy Action Figure]].

***In aggro, after playing enough swarms of bloons, an Act of Power + Bloon Embiggen allows this power to be free of cost. This is ~~essential~~, as cost is an obstacle for aggro strategies.

***In aggro, after playing enough swarms of bloons, an Act of Power + [[Bloon Embiggen]] allows this power to be free of cost. This is useful, as the cost of [[Bloon Embiggen]] is an obstacle for aggro strategies who want to use it.

*Amelia currently has the most variety of pick cards in the game. So, players who want to specifically draw [[The Eternal]] quickly in Eternal decks may equip her, in addition to her Act of Power to make one-turn combos easier.

*Like [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]], Amelia benefits a lot from Monkeys that generate Bloontonium, so she can fuel her activated abilities. Most of them also can damage bloons, ~~which Amelia lacks entirely.~~

*Like [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]], Amelia benefits a lot from Monkeys that generate Bloontonium, so she can fuel her activated abilities. Most of them also can damage bloons, however the lower DPT of those monkeys may create an issue for her if she has to defend.

*Amelia "burn" decks involve many [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s, and methods of ~~making Pinks, such as [[Reinflated]], as well as [[MOAB Strike]]s~~.
